George Bernard Shaw once said, “When you run a government where you rob Peter to pay Paul, you will always get the support of Paul.”
This is what is wrong with our society. The liberals promise everything to those who will vote for them is really a form of social manipulation, for you are guaranteed that they will vote for them at the election booth. The thing is that this is not the American way.
The authentic American way is for us to each take control of our lives and better our existence as we see fit. Be it by education, building businesses, or just good old hard work, or a combination of all three, whatever we choose to do is born out of free will. I saw recently where a new housing project is being built to give those “less fortunate” people a home. It will still take at least three years and there will be room for about 450 families, yet over 15,000 people have filled out applications.
Question: How dark is your future when the best you can hope for is to live in a government-subsidized dwelling a few years in the future? Shouldn’t we have a greater vision of a brighter future than that? This is the problem with liberal thinking, it actually encourages failure and mediocrity. Yet we do not need to buy into the lie. Life can be better than that, and we become better when we start with ourselves. Yet as the Britney Spears song goes “Gimme gimme more, give me more.” Which is the mantra of the liberal movement. Once you give them something, they then want more, and when they don’t get it, then they demand it.

Letter: Election fraud tales turn voters away
Columnist Maureen Hayden asked, “Why did 3 million Hoosiers choose not to vote?” She gave a few reasons but I can think of another one.

Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance
I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.
