One simple question for this administration: What are you trying to accomplish?
Whatever your answer is, please keep in mind the following bit of wisdom that is taught to education professionals as well as business professionals: Behavior that is rewarded tends to continue, whereas behavior that is punished tends to cease.
It appears to me that this administration’s policies reward failure and punish individual accomplishment. That is the absolute antithesis of the liberty that once was the cornerstone of this last, best hope for the world. It is why the tired, poor, huddled masses who yearned to be free flocked to this country and willingly bled to defend her.
And remember whenever you utter that line about how we must be our brothers’ keepers that many slaveholders of the 19th century believed that they, too, were doing a favor to people who otherwise would not be capable of caring for themselves. We know now how absolutely evil that philosophy turned out to be.
Should I be worried about repercussions? By posting this here, have I jeopardized the entire Townhall community?
