AIG, Class Envy, and you. Also, Obama ruining America's image.

I'm back, ladies and gentlemen. Obama is continuing to ruin America, and I've not talked about it in awhile. So first, let's take a look at how Obama is taking the office of the presidency and making a joke out of it.

This is an excerpt from my brother's facebook, detailing how Obama is... Well, an idiot.

Yes, the cheap-o gift of DVDs that our peerless leader, Barack Obama gave Gordon Brown was in fact Region 1, meaning the gift is completely worthless to the British PM.

Let's review. Since November he's suggested that Nancy Reagan held seances in the White House, hocked off incompatible DVDs to a major world leader and basically spat on anyone with a disability.

This is what happens when he doesn't have a teleprompter, which, BTW, has opened its own blog.

This is your one stop shop for an inside look at who's pulling the strings in the White House.

OK. I don't think I really need to comment any further on that, other than the fact that I laugh at the fact that anyone would call him tactful.

Next topic:

AIG! Oh, they're evil, they're vile... They're stealing from Americans! Curse them! Shame, shame, what a detestable company!

If you could catch the sarcasm, stop reading. Now, when we had this bailout, which I strongly oppose, we were giving AIG taxpayer money to allow them to continue running, as they had been. Part of the contracts with their workers are their bonuses. So now, they people who received these bonuses, because that's what the company was paid to do, are now being asked to give back 90% of their bonus back, and that's just the Federal tax. That doesn't count state or local tax, which could very well take the rest. This is the start of socialism folks. This is class envy.

Keep in mind though, it's not just the top execs who recieved bonuses. Average employees of AIG also recieved bonuses. However, they're being taxed in the same way. Class envy is an ugly thing. Because in the end, it just lowers everyone. America, do you want to be rich and successful? What's stopping you? Stop looking at other people who are successful, demonizing them, and claiming that they're keeping you down. Get out, if you're young, go to college right out of High School, if you're older and you don't have a degree, get back to school. If you have a degree, get out there and start looking for a job, and when you get that job, you work twice as hard as everyone else.

That's what I'm doing. I'm in school. I'm working. I'm making myself a success. You know who else did that? You know who else made himself a success? Andrew Carnegie. Adjusted for inflation, he was one of the richest men to ever live. Ever. He was born into a family of Scottish immigrants in the 1800's. Not the best way to start out. By the end, his net worth, adjusted to inflation was $298.3 billion. He got there by being the best at what he did. He worked hard, and he made it to the top. What's stopping you America? Is it envy? Then get it out of the way, and be what you know you can be.


Until next time folks, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.
