Hillary Clinton has released a new ad in Iowa where she calls Bush’s economic reforms a trap door for Middle Class families to fall through. As I sat there and read the article and watched the ad (which has no facts in it what so ever) it occured to me that you hear the Left talking all the time about the Middle Class. They talk about helping the middle class with handouts. They create plans and programs that appeal to this supposed “middle class” but they never really do anything to help the middle class become the upper class.

It appears from where I sit (which according to most econ professors is the Upper Middle Class) it looks like the democrats aren’t as concerned with helping the “Middle Class” achieve more in life as they are with keeping the middle class happy and complacent through programs (like national health care, social security, baby bonds and more) which lead people to depend on the government more. They (the democrats) talk about how we’d benefit from a national health care plan (never mind the fact that its not working in Canada or in England) or they promise $5,000 savings bonds for every child born in the US (forget about those who have already been born…) or how we need this or that (like a museum commemorating woodstock). When asked about how they’d pay for these programs they respond by saying they’d raise taxes on the rich (which seldom works).

In her ad, Clinton says its time for a change in economic policies as well as other policies and for once I do agree with her. It is time for a change but not one towards larger government reach and higher taxes. No, we need the opposite. We need less taxes and less government control. We need less meddling by people who claim they know whats better for our well being than we do. Its time for a change from traditional politics of Right Vs. Left.

In the formation and operation of every great country there’s a natural ebb and flow cycle. The last one in the United States started after the great depression and its been building to a tipping point. Its time for the cycle to renew itself (like a fiery phoenix). What this country needs is a good revolution right now. We need a way to gut the political system of the bad and rebuild it with good but until the citizens of the US regain that rugged individualism of the old west I’m afraid it really won’t happen.
