Makers vs. Takers.

Yesterday on the campaign trail, Obama made a comment:  "Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Some will say, "Yes, he simply meant that you couldn't have a business without roads, the Post Office, bridges, etc... so those who are successful should pay higher percentage back to society that created infrastructure."

Others will say, "More evidence of a dude who has never had his own business, has no idea what it means to make payroll every Friday and believes everyone who owns a successful business DIDN'T BUILD IT...but society built it, so society should share in the profits."

So the first view would be supported by the "TAKERS" and the 2nd comments would be supported by the "MAKERS".

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” 

Abe Lincoln used those words in 1858 to describe a country that was careening toward civil war. Now we’re a house divided again and another civil war is coming, with the 2012 election as its Gettysburg.

Call it America’s coming civil war between the Makers and the Takers.

On one side are those who create wealth, America’s private sector–the very ones targeted by President Obama’s tax hikes announced Monday.

A country where more Americans go on Social Security disability than get jobs-- as happened last month--can’t stand.

Lincoln hoped in 1861 that the “angels of our better nature” would pull us back from catastrophe. He was wrong. Let’s hope in 2012 those angels still hover -- and can make a house divided whole once more.

What??  Do you really think there could be civil war coming between Americans?

Why do you think guns and ammo are flying off the shelves at enormous speed?
