Voice: Paul Hayes, Flushing
What do you really know about our history? Do you only know what is presented in current history books? Many groups have been active in rewriting history. History can be changed by opinion or conveniently left out when people do not know what is factually true.
Some groups and individuals depend on our lack of knowledge and understanding of the truth. Under the guise of being compassionate and understanding many people have been lead into serfdom. Groups of people are pitted against each other. Class warfare is promoted. Wealthy people are demonized. People are lead to believe their rights come from man and government.
We live in modern times, with all the technology of today. We have not changed the heart of man. The desire of some is for power at all cost. They will use anyone or group they can to reach their goals.
Some truths to ponder:
The rich pay no income tax. They derive their money other ways.
Government jobs are a direct cost. They make no profit.
Business is the engine of a free market society. The market should decide who is winner in the market place. Not government.
The Founding Fathers, while not perfect, had Christian values.
Honesty, integrity, greed are in constant battle in any society.
Only in a free society can you rise to the top. In any other form of government your life and status are planned
Do not take what I say for fact. Do your own homework, then develop your own opinion.
