Oakville reader responds to question posed by recent letter writer

To the editor:

The answer to Mike Povich’s question in his recent letter to the editor is simple.

We have become a society with little moral character. A society oppressed by a government supported by the “sheeple” will follow all the freebies and perks our government has bestowed upon its citizens.

Those who cry “racism” foster the results of this progressive agenda by keeping people enslaved to the gifts they bestow at the expense of hard-working, honest Americans.

The problem is the number of sheeple are growing and the numbers of conscientious Americans have shrunk because some of them now see the — present — benefit of the government trough. In assuming entitlement themselves, they buy into this “gimme” mentality. Unemployment benefits extended while many lack shame and work “for cash” as they remain on the government dole is just one example of how some have lost their way. Dishonesty is flourishing because there are little or no consequences for this behavior. This government has grown to such monumental proportions there is no way it can, even if it was not corrupt, police all the thousands of agencies it has developed.

So it becomes easy to “scam the system.”

And once you have accepted this cancer, you also lose any incentive to benefit — cure — yourself. It is easier to stay enslaved and complain about the 1 percent, while your personal choice is to remain the 99 percent.

What the uninformed fail to understand is once they have lost their souls, the incentives have done their job. They will be at the mercy of those who will cease to dole out the gifts of government. A once-free society will become extinct and become one with the many oppressive societies led by harsh dictators who have little or no regard for their citizens. While these dictators remain “fat,” the minions grow crippled and broken by their own hand.

Our hope is to bring all the lies of the government to the forefront and pray that some that have not condemned themselves to insincerity, show character and will move toward righteousness.

This moral breakdown, if allowed to continue, will destroy the United States of America and all generations to follow.
