How many people do you suppose really,…I mean actually,…. achieve the great levels of economic financial success in America today?
Well no one knows for absolute certain and no man can accurately know the future or fore-tell it. But, we do have a governmental institution known as the United States Social Security Administration, that was established in 1935 under the presidential administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This governmental agency is charged with the responsibility of keeping track of all Americans and their earnings. Their well documented data is publicly published and their numbers can be relied upon to shed some light as to the correct answer to our original question.
As an interesting side note, the results of these statistics have remained the same every year since they were originally published!
In short summary form, without getting into all of the details, the published numbers tell us that out of every 100 people in the United States today followed from birth, at which time they are given a Social Security Number, all the way through their lives until death, here is what happens to them. Now keep in mind that most educated young people enter the workforce after their formal education ends,…say about age 20 to 22 years. They then will productively work….produce income…for between 40 to 45 years at which time they are told to retire and are forced from the work force around the age of 60 to 65 years………40 hours (or more) a week for 40 to 45 years of their lives. Such a program is called in loose terms, the “Rut System.”
Here are the ending statistics for every 100 Americans who reach the age of 65:
2% have achieved personal financial independence 98% are dead or broke or both
There is one thing that all of the 98% folks have in common…..they all earned their income which was recorded on a W-2 wage statement form.
In other words, they all had jobs! They were all employees. They earned their meager incomes by trading time for money.
That precious and most valuable minority of 2% who had achieved total and complete financial independence had one thing in common too. They all owned and operated for a profit a business for themselves. They were all Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Capitalists and the like.
These facts are most interesting when you consider that the public school system of America, the educational system of our country, is designed and set up so as to teach its young people how to get a good education so as to prepare themselves to get a good job, thereby throwing themselves into an automatic and guaranteed 98% chance to work hard all of their lives only to wind up dead or broke by their 65th birthday! Now how ridiculous and foolish is that!! Colleges and Universities are set up for the extremely expensive process of teaching our children how to fail! Sadly we have totally lost our vision and insight of our true purpose as a nation. What is just as sad, is that you cannot find a major education institution of higher learning that actually teaches or instructs our youth as to how to establish and operate for a profit a business of their own.
We teach our youth how to fail….and we fail to teach our youth how to succeed! We are the only nation on the earth that does not teach its own children its own system of economics. Is it any wonder that most all of our true and godly human values and priorities are as messed up as they are in our own country today?
It is time to wake up and take corrective action if we are to save our own nation. Our true Christian-Judeo principles and ideals have been lost from being taught in the classrooms. Our real history has been re-written and the real and godly truths of the Bible have been omitted and removed from all of our classrooms. Our youth have no knowledge or appreciation for the great price that was paid for our freedoms. They have no knowledge…no appreciation, or understanding as to how and why our nation, The United States of America, was founded, established, and continues to be maintained. Dates, places, and significant people, events, and documents….even those for which we have national holidays, are completely unknown to our youth and even many of our adults.
Such a predicament is a slap-in-the-face to any person, or their survivors and family members, who gave their all,…their lives…protecting and defending the very precepts and purposes we, as Americans, hold to be self-evident in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution!
Furthermore our youth are being led down the primrose path to poverty so as to put them into a total and complete state of dependency upon some type of present or future governmental entitlement program, only because they have NOT been taught how to properly and sufficiently support themselves after they leave the educational system!
Wake up America!
Success is not an accident. It just doesn’t one day happen to or for someone. Success is a planned event. Success is a process and it occurs and is established over a long period of time. It must be created and achieved honestly and with total integrity if it is to last and be available to all Americans in all generations.
No man or nation in all of human history has ever spent their way out of debt! Sound and moral economic principles must be employed and maintained if we as a nation are ever going to solve our financial problems, control our spending,… and eliminate our national debt. No country ever solved their economic problems by simply raising taxes on anyone.
You see dear friends,…….if you do not know the real history of your nation, and of the other nations of the world….then you will continue to repeat the same mistakes that generations before yours made, and you will continue to suffer the same ugly and detrimental consequences. Sad, but true, history proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that people…the flesh…. do not learn anything from history! That is why we just keep perpetuating the same mess year after year without any significant resolution.
Wake up America!
This political correctness is a bunch of bunk! It is useless. We don’t need it. It is too expensive to establish and maintain. It must be eliminated! We came a very long way without it, and we made the journey very nicely.
The truth is the truth any way you want to cut it. God has plainly given us a language of our own and the actual and proper definitions as to what each of our words means and was intended to mean.
We are the ones who are responsible to make the appropriate changes if we are to survive. Right is right any way you look at it.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing. Good character, honesty and integrity are the only sound and solid foundational building blocks upon which to build a healthy and prosperous nation and people.
The absolute truth is that our forefathers established our country as one nation “under God.” As such we serve and worship an all-knowing,… all- loving,… and very compassionate and grace-filled God. However, our God is also a just and very jealous God. We can no longer afford to violate His Word and His Instructions to us as to how we are to live our lives and ever expect Him to continue to care for us, provide for us, and protect us.
The wages of sin is death.
We, all of those who believe in a Holy God, must begin to act now. We must begin to elect only those candidates for office who will be obedient to the true values upon which our nation was founded!!!
As to those who are already holding an elected office who are not followers of our Almighty God and who are not obedient to His instructions,…they should be replaced at the very next election process.
Here is the Fact. Things must be done the right way if you ever expect to accomplish the right results!
As I stated earlier,…there is simply no right way to do the wrong thing! Our country was founded on Christian-Judeo Truths and Principles. Make no mistake about it,…only those men and women who subscribe to those very same Truths and Principles are fit and capable to run such a Christian-Judeo based country and its government as is ours.
Peace and love to all of you…..Poppa Bear
