This Blogger is in Argentina this week, a European style Socialist nation. While on a tour, the Tour Guide told us that "Public Means Free In Argentina". Of course, Health Care is completely "free" along with university education, the same as occurs in Brazil. Of course, many people in countries in Europe and South America have overlay insurance because free Health Care in these countries is actually so bad that only the poor use the public system.
Argentina was once a very rich country until the Socialists took over, "to help the poor" supported by very powerful labor unions. The story of Eva Peron and her husband, Juan Peron, the Fascist/Socialist Dictator of Argentina, put in power in the 50's by labor unions, began decades of financial chaos and decline in Argentina. But, the poor still love their Evita, whose picture sits on a large building side in Buenos Aires; even though years of Socialist and Military dictatorship resulted in a loss of freedom and the murder of thousands of people that just disappeared.
But is anything really "free" in a Socialist nation. Argentina, like all Socialist nations, has very high taxes and lots of them. To name a few, corporate income taxes are 35%, personal income taxes on world wide income ranges from 9% - 35% and the top rate happens at fairly low income. There is a 1.5% tax on real estate sales. Bank transactions carry with them a 0.6% fee. VAT sales tax is 21%. There are various Estate Taxes. But here is the real kicker. Employers must pay between 23% and 27% of an employee's annual income to pay for Social Security and Health Care coverage. So much for "free" health care.
And, the Socialists have made such a mess of Argentina's finances that the peso had to be devalued. It used to be 1 peso to 1 dollar; but that made Argentina so uncompetitive that it was impossible to export products made in Argentina. As a result, it is now roughly 4 pesos to the dollar, which makes it a great time for Americans to come to Argentina. Things are comparatively really cheap in Argentina for Americans.
However, in the process, people who had savings in Argentina experienced the devaluation of their money. So, the equivalent of $100,000 in pesos suddenly was worth $25,000. This is the reason anyone with money began to change the money into dollars and get them out of the country. So much so, that the government recently prohibited large money transfers because of the capital flight that was occurring.
Argentina is a case study in Socialist mismanagement of an economy and it has been happening for decades. In the past, Argentina defaulted on its National Debt. This is one reason it is very difficult for businesses to get credit in Argentina. Interest rates exceed 15% on borrowing, if anyone can borrow at all.
As goes Greece and Argentina will go the United States if Socialist President Obama is reelected in 2012. Obama's deficit spending trajectory will add another $10 Trillion to our National Debt, if the markets will allow it, which will not happen. When the US cannot borrow any more, except at very high interest rates, the Federal Reserve will start printing more money to cover Entitlements. This will destroy the value of the dollar, which is already happening. It is not that gas cost $4 a gallon since Obama was elected President. It is that the dollar has been devalued by 50% because the Federal Reserve has printed Trillions of dollars to pay for the bank bail-outs.
Contrary to popular belief in Socialist countries, there is no free ride. More entitlements require higher and higher taxes, which kill jobs. By the way, our Tour Guide used to be an architect until she lost her job in 2002. Higher taxes and more regulations to control the economy are no problem for Socialists that constantly invent new taxes as the solution to government financing.
It is no coincidence that when Obama makes his Class Warfare argument to win reelection, he casts the story in two choices; higher taxes for the "rich", that already pay 70% of all income taxes in the US, or benefit cuts for his PEEP's, those that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole and public employee union members. Obama will never talk about actually shrinking the size of government because that would mean fewer public employee union members contributing to Socialist election campaigns. As such, that choice is never an option for Socialists.
We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. When this Blogger travels to European style Socialist countries and sees first hand the impact of their Socialist Schemes, I become even more convinced that President Obama and his Socialist pals in government are a clear and present danger to our nation as bad as any external enemy we have ever faced.
We have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp that is Washington DC by sweeping these Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014. If we fail to get this job done, we will lose our national sovereignty in the process. We can't let that happen. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. In the mean time, Cry for Argentina. Their beautiful country is already lost.

State Capitalism, Socialism & The Debt Ceiling
Congress has approved Socialist President Obama's request to add another $1.2 Trillion to the National Debt. Shortly, the National Debt will grow to nearly $17 Trillion with no end in sight. That will be more than 100% of US Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Bankrupt Italy is at 125%. Greece is at more than 144%. The United States is headed in the same direction. If Obama is reelected and his deficit trajectory is allowed to continue, we will add $10 Trillion to the National Debt in the next 10 years; however, the US will collapse long before because the markets will never allow it.
At the same time, many of the brainiacs meeting at Davos, Switzerland to discuss our "well being" are saying that State Capitalism is preferable to market based free market Capitalism. To be clear, State Capitalism is what is happening in China. At best it is democratic Socialism and crony Capitalism. At worst it is Communism, Chinese style. Socialist President Obama is determined to "transform" our country into a European or Brazilian style Socialist nation.
That means very high taxes and government control of all aspects of daily life in the name of redistribution of income to achieve "social justice". It also means radical environmentalism that results in a lower standard of living for all citizens. In Brazil, a Toyota Corolla, that cost $18,000 in the US, is considered a luxury car because it cost around $50,000 including the 45 - 50% government tax on the purchase. In Europe, gasoline is often $8 - $10 a gallon because of the government taxes on fuel. Europeans and Brazilians bring empty suit cases when they travel to the US to buy clothing because the cost in their countries, as a result of taxes, are three times what we pay in the US.
This is what Obama wants to do to our country in order to take care of his PEEP's, those that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole, union bosses, radical environmentalists, trial lawyers, the illegal alien lobby and crony Capitalists all feeding at the trough. Socialists need to buy votes to stay in power. Otherwise, there would be absolutely no reason for anyone to vote them.
Socialism does not work; plain and simple. Where ever Socialism has been tried, it has led to misery, poverty and a loss of freedom. Many European countries are now bankrupt as a result of cradle to grave entitlement spending. Employment laws, driven by unions in Socialist countries, cause unemployment because it is almost impossible to fire anyone for cause, or otherwise. So, companies hire the bare minimum of people because the overall cost is just too high. This is the reason jobs have gone to China, India and other countries, where no such laws exist. We are not talking about slave labor; but rather just common sense laws that allow an employer to hire and fire employees when they do not do the job they were hired to do.
We see the same thing happening in the United States as employers have moved jobs from Socialist Blue States, like California, to more business friendly Red States like Texas. Socialists are job and freedom killers. Socialists are the enemy of free markets and freedom. Socialists believe that they know better how we should live than we know ourselves. Socialists want to take decision making out of our hands and put it in their hands by taking our money to create a command and control economy that has always led to disaster.
We face a cross road in the United States during the elections of 2012 and 2014. We will either remain a free country, or if Obama is reelected, we will become a Socialist nation and lose our freedoms. The choice can't be more stark. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. If the Obama deficit spending trajectory is allowed to continue in the name of State Capitalism, we will lose our national sovereignty. We can't allow that to happen.
We have to take back our country to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We must defeat the Socialist enemy within that is as serious as any external threat we have ever faced. We can do it. We must do it to remain a free country.

Germany & European Debt
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made it very clear that Germany will only go so far in propping up the rest of Europe and paying for Socialist Entitlement Programs in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland and perhaps other European countries. These countries have social programs that are not sustainable and have bankrupted their countries. It was one thing for West Germany to take on the problems and expenses of Communist East Germany to reunify all of Germany, but obviously, Mrs. Merkel is not going to make the German taxpayer pay for the actions of irresponsible politicians in these other countries.
So what is next. The US Federal Reserve has secretly provided billions, if not trillions of dollars of financial support to the European Central Bank, without approval of Congress, or anyone else. At some point, Europeans will knock on Socialist President Obama's door. Since the United States National Debt now exceeds $15 trillion, with no end in sight under Obama, let us hope that President Obama will refer the Europeans to the Chinese for help. We are broke. There is no money to bail out the Europeans.
The fact is that all Western democracies must end deficit spending. Higher taxes on anyone will not solve the problem. Various entitlements have to go, or be scaled back pretty dramatically. It is true in Europe and the United States. ObamaCare is the icing on the cake pushing our country further toward bankruptcy. ObamaCare must be repealed as soon as possible. The last thing we need is another entitlement program when Social Security and Medicare are facing insolvency.
Watch Europe to see what is going to happen to the US. The odds are better than 50/50 that countries like Greece will default on their debt. The European Union may not survive this financial calamity. Most important, we will see the end of our story, if Obama remains in office, since the President has no plan to cut deficit spending and pay off our National Debt. In fact, if the Obama trajectory continues, we will add another $10 Trillion to our National Debt in the next ten years assuming the markets will allow it, which is doubtful.
Obama will not cut the $10 Trillion necessary, in the next ten years, to stop the deficit spending, let alone pay off the National Debt. It would mean his PEEP's would be cut off from feeding at the trough. It is not going to happen as long as Socialists are in office.
We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. We have to elect Conservatives committed to a balanced budget and paying off our National Debt. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We have to sweep these Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office to save our country. If we don't succeed, we will follow Europe into bankruptcy. If that happens we will lose our national sovereignty. We can't let that happen.

President Obama - Campaigner & Chief
Socialist President Obama used his State of the Union Address as another opportunity to advance his Class Warfare campaign strategy. The theatrics were complete with Warren Buffett's secretary, who apparently pays a higher tax rate than Buffett because Buffett does everything he can to avoid paying taxes. What we heard from Obama was same old same old. The rich need to pay their "fair share" to redistribute income in the name of social justice. The fact that the top 10% of income earners are already paying 70% of all income taxes paid in the United States doesn't seem to matter to Socialists like Obama. The fact that nearly 50% of income earners in the US pay no income taxes at all never comes up in Obama's speeches either.
Obama is desperate to win reelection. Obama can't run on his accomplishments because many Americans are far worse off today than when Obama took office. Obama has been the most divisive President since Franklin Roosevelt. Obama must practice the politics of envy and Class Warfare in order to motivate his PEEP's, Americans that pay no income taxes at all, those on the dole, union members, radical environmentalist, the illegal alien lobby, trial lawyers and crony capitalists, not only to vote for him; but to give him the billion dollars Obama needs to spread his propaganda.
There are 25 million Americans either out of work, working part time that want part time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether. The real unemployment rate is above 15%. 46 million Americans are now on Food Stamps since Obama was elected. The foreclosure rate is the highest in American history. About half of American homeowners are upside down on their mortgages. All of this is happening with no end in sight. Since Obama was elected more than 6 million jobs have just disappeared.
Clearly, Obama's trillion dollar, deficit spending SwindleUS Plans have been a complete failure related to creating jobs. Obama's Gestapos, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Labor Relations Board are job killers. Gas is nearly twice as expensive today than the day Obama took office because Obama refuses to allow the development of our energy sources in the US.
President Obama gives a great speech. But cards talk and all these numbers don't lie; though Socialists like Obama do lie. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. Obama is Jimmy Carter II. We have to make Obama a one term President to restore economic growth and job creation again in America. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Obama's State of the Union Address was same old, same old just like Obama. Obama has to go.

Romney or Gingrich - Establishment Vs.Tea Party
The Republican nomination for the Presidency will boil down to Mitt Romney, the Establishment candidate, or Newt Gingrich, the Tea Party candidate. There is no doubt that the Republican Establishment is scared to death of Newt Gingrich because he "thinks" too much. The Republican Establishment prefers flip flopper Mitt Romney as the "safer" candidate. We need a peaceful revolution in our country to push back 100 years of Socialist Creep that is bankrupting our country. Mitt Romney will never make that happen. Romney is not a fighter. Romney is a go along to get along kind of guy, which is exactly what the Republican Establishment wants.
As our nation faces the precipice on so many fronts, we need the Tea Party candidate willing to put forth and fight for really new ideas. There is nothing in Mitt Romney's plan for America that represents the kind of change that is needed to get our country back on track. Newt Gingrich is proposing some great ideas related to cutting taxes, dealing with entitlements, energy independence, shrinking the size of the federal government and balancing the federal budget by both growing the economy and cutting spending. It will take innovative solutions to solve our nation's problems not same old, same old.
If the choice in the primaries boils down to Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich, this Blogger would choose Newt Gingrich. Yes, Gingrich may be too smart to be President. Yes, Gingrich appears to be undisciplined. Yes, Gingrich has baggage. But, Gingrich has a track record of achieving Conservatives policy objectives. Mitt Romney has no such track record. In fact, Romney has always previously run for office and governed as a liberal. There is no reason to believe that if Mitt Romney was elected to the Presidency, that he would not meet Socialists half way by reaching across the aisle to continue our march toward more Socialism. After all, RomneyCare was the model for ObamaCare.
Newt Gingrich will cut deals too; but on Conservative terms. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. To do it, we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, along with RINO's, out of office. Contrary to Republican Establishment popular belief, Newt Gingrich has a better chance of beating Socialist President Obama than Mitt Romney. Again, it is all about Ohio. Mitt Romney will not play well with Independents and Blue Collar Democrats in Ohio that are necessary to carrying that state. Gingrich has a better chance of putting the old Reagan coalition back together, than Bain Capital, wealthy Mitt Romney.
In fact, Obama could not ask for a better opponent than Mitt Romney related to Obama's Class Warfare strategy. Obama will tie Romney to Wall Street. Game Over. This Blogger believes Newt Gingrich can beat President Obama, even with his baggage. By the way, all candidates have baggage. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. This Blogger now supports Newt Gingrich as the best way to beat Obama and take back our country. Get your checkbooks out and send Gingrich money to help him win in Florida. The rest will be history.

Obama Celebrates 39th Anniversary of Roe V. Wade
Socialist President Obama is celebrating the 39th anniversary of Roe V. Wade, the Supreme Court Case that legalized abortion infanticide in the United States. Under the premise of a woman's right to choose, millions of innocent babies have been murdered in the last 39 years. To make matters worse, politicians like Obama has even supported partial birth abortion, the murder of a live baby, just prior to birth. A nation that murders its innocent children with callous regularity has suffered a complete moral breakdown.
A President that supports such murder to win votes from left wing Americans, that are part of the ME generation, has no moral compass and should be considered evil. Socialist President Obama is wrong on many issues; but support for unlimited abortion on demand murder is the most heinous of Obama's policies. The Bible says God knew you before you were you so that means before conception. Abortion murder is a criminal act in violation of God's creation. The innocent life that God has created, no man or woman should destroy.
It is no coincidence that Planned Parenthood, that receives about $500 million in federal government support each year, has its abortion mills in the inner cities. Planned Parenthood, that purports to provide counseling on woman's reproductive rights, performs about 350,000 Abortions a year. Abortion is big business in the United States. Most Abortions are performed on poor minority women. You would think that vocal Minority leaders in America would be outraged by what is happening in their communities; but since they support Socialists without question, including President Obama, not a word is said about Abortion that is murdering minority children. It is just plain criminal.
We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation, by sweeping Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office. Aside from the economic issues facing our nation, Socialists have also contributed to the moral decline of our country. Abortion is a crime against humanity. And, while Abortion may be justifiable if a mother's life is truly in danger, or perhaps in cases of incest or rape, (though it is still murder), Abortion on demand, as a form of birth control, should be completely illegal.
Women and Men have choices. They can use birth control that is readily available. They can just say NO to unprotected sex. But once a child is conceived, their choices end because a parent's right to end a child's life is not a matter of timing, whether in or out of the mother's womb. Life is life. Ending a viable innocent life at any age is murder.
We have got to take back our country in 2012 and 2014, which includes the protection of innocent human life. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our child, both unborn and born, and our grandchildren. While President Obama celebrates the 39th anniversary of Roe V. Wade that legalized abortion, we weep for the millions of innocent babies, murdered by Abortion, that could have been our next generation.

Brazil - A Study In Socialism
This Blogger is in Brazil this week on business. Brazil is an up and coming economy experiencing growth. However, there are really two Brazil's. There is the Brazil that looks like many cities in Europe with a degree of affluence; though certainly not the same as exists in the US. Then there is the Brazil with Flavelas in major cities, or slums by any other name. Homes in the Flavelas were constructed, one by one, by the poor squatting on government land over many years. In fact, some of the Flavelas are on very desirable view hillsides in major cities; however they are very high density with no paved streets, or official utilities in place.
Several million people live in these crime and drug infested Flavelas. Since the World Cup and Summer Olympics are coming to Brazil in the next few years, the government has cracked down on the Flavelas because the crime rate in major cities in Brazil is very high as a result of proximity to these poor people who live by manual labor and apparently criminal activity.
Brazil has had successive Socialist governments in the last 10 or more years that has raised taxes on the middle class and the rich presumably to pay for Entitlements for the poor. Even so, though Brazil has experienced economic growth, the disparity between the middle class, rich and the poor is huge. Like in the United States, the Socialists buy elections by providing entitlements to the poor that vote for them. For example, the government actually pays the poor to send their children to public schools. However, the public schools are so bad and produce such poor results that no one in the middle class, or upper class would send their children to public schools; kind of like in the inner cities of the United States.
The two Brazil's divide on the basis of education much the same as is true in the US. The poor in Brazil are for the most part illiterate, much the same as many of the poor in the United States. Entitlements provided the poor by the Brazilian government, which ensures the election of Socialists, has done little to improve their conditions, very much the same as in the US. Trillions of dollars have been spent on the poor in the US since 1965 and the poverty rate today has never been higher. It is pretty clear that Socialist Schemes just do not work any where in the world they have been tried including the U. S.
The United States was built on free market Capitalism; though we have experienced Socialist creep in the last 100 years, particularly since 1965. And, the poor are worse off for it. Government programs intended to help the poor have back fired and it is getting even worse since Socialist President Obama assumed the Presidency. In the last three years, under Obama, Food Stamp recipients have grown from 26 million Americans to 46 million. How can having even more people dependent on government be a good thing. Of course, Obama is causing more dependency to gain votes for his reelection. Are these people going to bite the hand that is literally feeding them? Obama hopes not as he makes his divisive, Class Warfare argument to win reelection.
In the extreme, we can see what Socialism looks like in Brazil with its permanent under class. The same thing is happening in the US as a result of our Socialist Creep. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014, most importantly to benefit the poor. Limiting entitlements is the way to do it. We need Workfare not Welfare. We need pay checks not Food Stamps that can only come through economic growth and job creation. We need a School Voucher system to allow the poor to escape failing public schools. These are Conservative solutions to helping the poor to end government dependence, which is just another form of slavery as government has become the new Master to the poor. The inner cities of our country are just another form of the plantation that enslaved people.
We must take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, with all their Entitlement Schemes to buy votes out of office. These characters are both bankrupting our country and creating a permanent under class in our nation. For the sake of the poor and all Americans, we have to push back 100 years of Socialist creep. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren and especially the poor and disadvantaged. We can see the impact of Socialism in Brazil and every other country where it has been tried and it has always led to poverty, misery and a loss of freedom. All Americans must fight to prevent more Socialist Creep that is bankrupting our country.
