The little "g"

Rather than worshiping at the alter of "the big G" (God), liberals tend to place their faith - and even adoration - in "the little g" (government). Rather than viewing the big G as the One in whom, and through whom they derive their dependence, they count on the promises bestowed upon them by the little g to meet their "hopes and dreams for the future".

However, it is the big (not little) G who has endowed people with the ability to realize those hopes and dreams for themselves. They are inspired and empowered to venture into business (with minimal interference from the little g) so that they can thrive, subsequently giving them the capacity to grow, hire people, turning that little business into a bigger business, and thus building the foundation for a growing economy.

There are some who depend on the little g to save and sustain them. The little g attempts to convince people that they are actually the big G, pronouncing a message of "hope"! As unscrupulous as it may sound, they will tax those who work, then give the money derived from those taxes and "compassionately" distribute them to those who don't pay taxes and/or don't work.

The little g exercises its will by increasing the tax burden on investors (Capital Gains Tax) and small businesses, who in turn are compelled to make the difficult choice of "letting people go" in order to remain solvent. Desperate, many of those who become unemployed feel they have no choice but to run to expanded government programs for help. The people consequently find refuge in the very one who hastened, and even caused their dilemma -- the little g.

Come the 2012 elections, many people - now dependent on government - will see just how "helpful" the little g was in their economic plight and will continue to seek the benefits which come from their "economic savior" - the little g.

In 2012, if the number of Americans receiving some form of subsistence from the little g are in the majority, then the majority will re-elect the little g.  The campaign mantra of "Yes WE can!" in 2012 will have an entirely different sound..."GIVE US this day our daily bread!"
