Homeschooling is looking better and better:
OK so it looks like Obama is working to worsen our already fairly communist public education system. For those who may not know, the Federal Government (which includes the Executive Branch) is supposed to have all of jack and squat to do with education. It’s called the 10th Ammendment, and it says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Education and the power to oversee education were never delegated to the Federal Government, which means that most of what the government has done with education is un-Constitutional.
So what does Obama want to do this time? He wants to meddle with education around the country. The stated purpose is to bring underperforming urban students up to the same level as their suburban peers, and the way to do it is to redistribute wealth and add more Federal oversight.
When I first read this I though, “what an idiot,” which is the first thing that comes to mind every time I read about something Obama has done or said. But, it’s not so much stupid as it is insidious. It’s stupid in terms of making the US a better place, but clever in terms of making the US a more communistic place. Here is how communist leaders think: Inequality among the citizens bothers them, as does citizens having freedom of choice. They want to hammer down all the nails so that all the heads are flat, even if the nails are longer and the board isn’t thick enough. That is their plan for the citizens, but they of course will exempt themselves because the only class division a communist dictator likes is the division between the ruler and the ruled.
So let’s say he brings all the schools down to the level of the ghetto and equilizes everything. Are his kids going to be affected? No. His kids will continue to go to whatever expensive private school they are going to, at tax payer expense, and with armed body guards. He is a flaming elitist hypocrite.

More people are renouncing US citizenship:
Looks like more people than ever before are renouncing their US citizenship because of left wing policies. This is an endictment against the left, and all the entitlement minded takers and government worshipping sycophants. As I said before, the problem with spreading the wealth is that eventually you run out of other people’s wealth to spread. Things cannot continue the way they are going if our country is to survive. It is high production costs that have driven much of our production overseas, which was the backbone of the US economy. Production costs were made high because of unions and taxes.
High taxes cause people to move their business elsewhere, and themselves as well apparently. I told everyone that high taxes are not good for the economy. The higher the taxes the less people businesses can afford to employ. The more businesses that shut down or move overseas the more people we have in the US who will be unemployed and underemployed. Those problems are only compounded by immigration.
“Oh those people are just greedy, we don’t need them anyways.”–OK, if they are greedy for wanting to keep their own money, then what does that make you for wanting to keep your money and for wanting to keep someone else’s money. I think that if we use the same standard of judging greed, then that makes them greedy, and you greedy + parasitic. And yes, we do need them. When they go then jobs go with them. Also, who do you expect to pay your welfare check? Oh yes, and before you say “we will create our own businesses” let me just preempt you by asking why haven’t you already? No one is stopping you. If you have such a natural propensity towards being successful then what is stopping you? Go and do it.
If you look at this chart you can see figures for the rate at which people renounce their citizenship:
Look at how it went up under Obama and the Democrats, and the huge spike in 2011. The spike in 1997 was caused by dual citizens in Hong Kong giving up their US citizenship as Hong Kong reverted to China. The spike in 2011 was caused by Barack Osama.
Now, I can’t help but wonder how this chart would look if they factored in people who were still US citizens but who have moved overseas for work.
I have been toying with that idea myself. Why? Because the US is no longer the land of opportunity, and it is becoming less and less like that progressively. The job market is crap here. No don’t tell me it’s good, because it’s crap. I have two degrees and a 4.0 GPA on the 2nd one, + good references, and still I struggle. So many people are living on a fixed income, while the cost of living goes up.
There are three things that keep me in the US, for now:
1. My family is here.
2. The 1st Ammendment.
3. The 2nd Ammendment.
I would like to point out that reasons 2 and 3 are under heavy attack by the left. Once those go, then the only reason I have to stay is family. But since I am getting married soon, and am a lower income earner, I may be going overseas for work anyways because I want to be able to have kids and a good life. So, let’s see.
