Maybe, I shouldn't be so cynical, but I always have to laugh when left-leaning socialist voters tell me that we must raise taxes so the government has more money to help the people. After Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey and New York and the tidal surges flooded the area, many Democrats said; "see, this is why we need big government so they can take care of us and operate agencies like FEMA." Indeed, that's just a bunch of nonsense, but I understand the allure into believing such utter hokum. Okay so let's talk shall we?
On November 3, 2012 there was an article in the New York Times titled; " Hardship Strains Emotions in New York," by James Barron and Ken Belson which stated in the email alert to the paywall; " The region approached a breaking point on Friday as the collective spirit that prevailed in the first few days after Hurricane Sandy gave way to angry complaints of neglect and unequal treatment."
Well, I had to laugh again; "Ha ha ha, live by the sword die by it!" I mean, isn't this how President Bush got wrongfully trashed and maligned over Hurricane Katrina? Now let Obama and Mayor Bloomberg take it like men, I say. In fact, I might be pushing the limit on political correctness here, but I would submit to you that perhaps they deserve this criticism from the angry masses who are soggy and sitting in the dark.
It appears that "All the King's forces, and all the King's men, couldn't put New York City back together again." And folks, many people want a big government and higher taxes so they can be taken care of, that is of course, until that government fails their expectations, and they realize that they paid all their money in taxes and now suddenly they don't have any money left to help themselves. This is your big government at work, so be careful what you wish for because there is more to come if America doesn't turn around from the socialist cliff which is about to befall the European Union.
This same charge by the masses is exactly what happened after Hurricane Katrina. Do you remember everyone said that it was a racial issue, and that FEMA only helped the white people, and left everyone else with disease, despair, and helplessly flooded out. Isn't it funny how history repeats, it wasn't that long ago when the Democrats were screaming at the Republicans for their racial profiling in assisting hurricane victims. Here we go again. Indeed, hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
