..That seems to be the prevailing mindset among many Americans, particularly younger Americans, today. On Monday evening's show (www.TheAustinHillShow.Com ) we talked about how this mindset, as exemplified by a caller to the show last Thursday evening (10/09/08) named Akin from Maryland, is impacting the presidential race.
Akin said, in no uncertain terms, "if you work hard, you shouldn't have to struggle...you shouldn't have to worry about how to pay your bills."
No regard for what kind of good or service you provide to the economy....no regard for the level of skill involved in your work....if you "work hard," you should have a comfortable life.......working in a restaurant, or working at the surgeon's table.......it doesn't matter........you "work hard," you should be "comfortable.."
Well, isn't that just the kind of mindset that Mr. Obama is appealing to these days?
Yes, I'd say so......and although "these people" wouldn't think of it in this way, what they really are looking for is a country, an economy, a world, where there is less competition.........no "winners," no "losers".........everyone gets the same amount of everything......everyone is "comfortable...."
Monday night's show will be posted in "on demand" format by early Tuesday morning....listen to it when you can....some of the callers are staggering........
