The spiritual leader of
Congregation Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck, NJ, Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, wrote a
piece on “Why Hillary Will Win in 2016.” In short: “The lure of free stuff is
irresistible.”
With regard to the 2012
election, Pruzansky says – “Romney lost because he didn’t get enough votes to
win. That might seem obvious, but not
for the obvious reasons. Romney lost
because the conservative virtues – the traditional American virtues of liberty,
hard work, free enterprise, private initiative and aspirations to moral
greatness – no longer inspire or animate a majority of the electorate. The simplest reason why Romney lost was
because it is impossible to compete against free stuff.”
Obama’s America is one
in which free stuff is given away: the adults among the 47,000,000 on food
stamps clearly recognized for whom they should vote, and so they did, by the
tens of millions; those who - courtesy of Obama - receive two full years of
unemployment benefits (which, of course, both disincentives looking for work
and also motivates people to work off the books while collecting their
windfall) surely know for whom to vote. The
lure of free stuff is irresistible.
Almost half of the
population has no skin in the game – they don’t care about high taxes,
promoting business, or creating jobs … nor do they care that the money for
their free stuff is being borrowed from their children and from the Chinese. They just want the free stuff that comes
their way at someone else's expense. The
lure of free stuff is irresistible.
It is impossible to
imagine a conservative candidate winning against such overwhelming odds. People do vote their pocketbooks. In essence, the people vote for a Congress who
will not raise their taxes, and for a President who will give them free stuff …
never mind who has to pay for it.
The road to Hillary
Clinton in 2016 and to a European-socialist economy - those very economies that
are collapsing today in Europe - is paved.
If this coming election proves anything, it is that the ‘Old America’ is
gone. And, sad for the world, it is not
coming back. The problems we face today
are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who
vote for a living.
