Then, by God's grace, a New World was discovered. It was a distant land that could not be reached by the hand of tyranny and oppression. An ambitious experiment took place for the world to scrutinize. It would never last, they said. It would never work. Just thirteen colonies in a country full of farmers. But, they fought and died for their independence when tyranny and oppression tried to tax them without representation. And we won, all of us.
In a world filled with darkness, suddenly the light of freedom began to flicker. It was faint and muted, but it grew. Once again, tyranny and oppression divided the country in North versus South over the right that all men are created equal. No man in America will ever be a slave to another. And we won, all of us.
Our country grew from farms to industrial to a world power in freedom. But the darkness of tyranny and oppression would not rest. Twice World Wars pushed the cause of freedom out to the entire world. The Allies of freedom defeated the dictators of tyranny and oppression across the globe. No one could stop us. And we won, all of us.
Today, the world has laid down their military arms. World Wars will never return to threaten our life and liberty. But tyranny and oppression never sleep. The twenty first century has ushered in a new era of economic warfare. The weapons of mass destruction in this new era of economic warfare are PUBLIC DEBT, BANKRUPTCY, and HYPER-INFLATION of the currency. The former Soviet Union surrendered its communism for democracy because of bankruptcy. Are we on a path to lose this economic war? Government Healthcare has accrued liabilities of $86 trillion with seventy seven million baby boomers surpassing sixty five years old each day plus eleven million illegal immigrants becoming citizens. Yes, Virginia, we are screaming down a path of bankruptcy, all of us.
If you study history, you could have seen it coming from 200 years ago? “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” - Alexander Tytler died in 1813
In a candid moment during the 2012 election campaign, Mitt Romney said, “Forty-seven percent of voters will chose Obama "no matter what" because they are people "who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Make no mistake, we are at war, both at home and abroad. Throughout history, everything that has been accomplished by America, all the progress that has been made to better the world, all the sacrifices made by our ancestors will be for NOT. Therefore, if you choose to STAND and FIGHT this coming Debt Crisis in America; you have just one option. Reinvent the business model to grow the economic base of the country because the established order only produces debt. Increasing taxes and cutting spending will do "less than nothing" to reduce seventeen trillion in national debt. You must turnaround the Middle Class, both Republican and Democrat, for all of us.
Therein lies the HOPE for the future. I wrote the novel “For Our Children” for this and many reasons. To leave behind a message of HOPE for the next generation of Americans and let my grandchildren know that their grandfather fought to rescue America from the Oppression and Tyranny in which they live. To leave behind a story of life for our children to know who we are, the sacrifices we made, and what we tried to accomplish during our time so that they do not lose HOPE during theirs. What is the purpose of writing a novel if not to defend the world from darkness? That is the Great American Novel of 2013. We do understand.
Excerpt from For Our Children:
“Turnaround the middle class,” Brian questioned.
“It has to be energy. How else can we ever grow the economy with this albatross around our neck,” President John Henry pleaded. “The government won’t do it. What would a fifty cent drop in gas prices do?”
“Add seventy billion to the economy, leaving more money for clothes, restaurants, and business,” Brian stated. “It’s a real world manufactured stimulus to the economy.”
“Business would improve, incomes would rise,” John advised. “But what about a four dollar drop in prices, and not just a year, forever.”
“That changes everything,” Brian said. “But it’s not realistic.”
“I’ve known oil all my life. It made me who I am,” John added. “Wall Street and OPEC manipulate us like a puppet, we give them our wealth, and they send us a car bomb wrapped up like a jet.”
“Not exactly the American Dream,” Brian said.
“The dream is dead unless we do something,” John admitted. “Look around, if we don’t do it, who else will.”
“OPEC could do more to prevent a global recession than anything the Fed could ever do,” Brian said. “Printing money is all we have left.”
“We’re no better than a third world country. Broke, dependent on oil, and in complete denial, top to bottom, it’s unsustainable,” John complained. “What were we thinking?”
“We weren’t, we’re too busy taking,” Brian said as they return to the limousine. “The government doesn’t solve problems, they subsidize them.”
“Give us another credit card to buy more Oil,” John snapped. “What a joke, two-bit junkies, strung out until our next fix.”
“It’s every man for himself,” Brian said.
“So we wait and hope,” John said, “for something or somebody who never comes.”
“It’s a corporate state now, a welfare state,” Brian claimed. “I don’t know anymore.”
“We have forgotten God with the vainly imagined wisdom and virtue of our own mind, too proud to pray to the God that made us,” John complained as his patience is running thin. “What would happen if the Middle East stopped shipping us crude oil? What if our supply lines were cut?”
