Barack Obama and I Disagree.

Well, I was going to keep my blog to uninsured and underinsured pregnant women and their unborn families but, as a business owner and someone who advocates for families this letter made we want to BURST. I am not going to discuss all the issues in his letter ONLY the ones that I put stars by that are in the attached letter from Barack Obama.


Have an AWESOME weekend,

Advocate Aaron


I recently saw a letter written by (or for) Barack Obama (it was over his signature) that made some rather ridiculous statements. (Read letter I am referencing here.) For one thing, as anyone with common sense who has listened to Obama can attest, the man has no clue that in the real world, everything – and I mean everything – has a cost. So, after a sympathetic paragraph about how hard it is “to get a break” and for parents to raise their children and make a living, he goes on to make promises that will make it harder for parents to raise their children and make a living.

He promises to double spending on after-school programs. So, those parents who have been sacrificing in various ways, taking less desirable jobs so they can actually be home with their kids or doing without two incomes, get to pay higher taxes. Obama seems to think the best thing for families is for children to be raised by somebody other than the parents. He’d have children raised, dawn to dusk, in a place where children outnumber adults at least ten to one and the adults’ faces change on at least a yearly basis. For Obama, parents seem only good enough to pay the taxes and provide a bed to sleep in.

Oh, and as long as people can’t “get a break” (whatever that means) let’s make it more expensive to hire people and make jobs more scarce. Somehow, beating up on the “big bad” employers, who are just people trying to get a break and many of whom are parents, will help people. Obama wants to mandate more sick leave and other paid leave so we can all spend more time with our kids. I guess his cosmopolitan mind wants us to be more like Europe where it costs so much to actually hire somebody that employers hire hardly anybody. While the European unemployment rate consistently doubles and nearly triples our unemployment rate, college students there protest because they really don’t have much of anything else to do.

Does this man who would be our president really think we can all eat cake? Has this man ever had to earn a living by actually producing something people want to buy? Has he ever had to make a payroll by doing anything other than smooth-talking donors?

REAL families are under assault in this country, but they are not endangered by employers competing in the market-place to sell their wares and hire the best people. Real families are endangered by people who assault parents by raising their taxes and then raising their kids when both parents have to work to pay the taxes. Real families are best served by having government stay out of their business and when government does not subsidize lethargy, sloth, promiscuity, and risky behavior by guaranteeing time off and providing warehouses for children.
