For the last several months, we’ve heard the mantra of income inequality. We’ve heard from the president and his minions in the House and the Senate that something should be done to make incomes equal. The president even said he would raise the minimum-wage requirement by executive order on a small segment of federal contracts “in the future.”

Then, the Congressional Budget Office report came out that blew the doors off of the cost of Obamacare regarding work: the loss of millions of jobs because of Obamacare. I thought the new normal was we were all going to be working until we are 70. Apparently, in the bizarro world of Obamacrats, work is the problem. Incomes have gone down significantly since the president took office, but we don’t need to work more in this worldview. We need to take more from the government. The problem with less of us working, there’s less money to take.
Prominent Democrats like Rep. Keith Ellison of Michigan said the problem is Americans work too much. And Democrat apologist Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said it was a family value to be able to work less because you get a subsidy.
In the early 1990s, my husband and I made the decision to cut our income in half so that I could stay at home. We sold our house and moved to a city closer to our parents and into a house half the size. We lived there for six years while he was building his medical practice and I was raising the kids. We made the choice for me to work in a different way, not less, but we didn’t ask the government to help.
This new message by the Democrats is not working. In the list of things that don’t make sense in the last six years, you remember, “Spread the wealth around;” “You have to pass it to see what’s in it;” “Shovel-ready jobs;” and “Summer of Recovery.” All these things were lies that the “low information voter” bought — until now.
People know you have to work to get ahead. And the magical word that wasn’t used enough in the last administration and is unheard of in this administration is “sacrifice.” You have to sacrifice to get ahead. You have to do without to make it. You have to live within your means.
Americans aren’t always perfect, but we know what it takes to succeed. I’ve made lots of mistakes. My goal, my parents’ goal and now my children’s goal is to prepare the next generation to learn from the mistakes of the last generation. Sacrifice, education, hard work and delayed gratification — that’s what works. We’ve taken a break from these values over the last six years or more. It’s time to get back to them and tell the regime, their day is over.
Get to the polls in 2014 and increase the Republican majority in the U.S. House, take back the U.S. Senate and elect a Republican president in 2016 — one step at a time using these American values.
