Wake up , America. Now that our government seems to be getting into all the corporations (insurance, automobile, banks, etc.), private enterprise will no longer be able to operate without the government having some sort of control.

Is this the new role of our government? I think not. We need to stand up and make it well known to our local, state and federal elected officials that we need to keep government out of the private free-enterprise system.

We don’t need any bailouts of any corporations. If they can’t survive the mismanagement that led them to bankruptcy in the first place, then reorganization must be needed. They dang sure don’t need any of my tax dollars to take with them in their demise.

But now it seems the American people have an ownership stake in these businesses whether they wanted one or not. I thought you could choose which stocks to have in your portfolio. Now our government will force the taxes upon us to pay for these misadventures in economics and many others that you will see coming about in this “Change you can believe in” administration.

Let’s not just stand around and let this happen. Write your senators, congressmen, and other elected officials and make them aware of who is supporting whom. Vote them out. We can’t take from the one’s that work and give to the one’s that don’t. Here we are on the edge of the abyss, which way are we going to go?
