Isn't America supposed to be the land of opportunity? The country where so many people risk their lives trying to get to?
So, after risking life and limb to make a future for themselves, they're now going to be punished for their hard work and success?
The only thing getting in the way of more people becoming successful is government - not rich people. Of course, this administration needs a scapegoat for everything.
Case in point: for 17 years I worked for myself as a massage therapist. During the last two years of my career, the government started getting involved in all aspects of my business. The town required a license. The State required a certification and proof of education. The Treasury Department now wanted us to collect sales tax. And to keep in good standing, I had to take additional educational requirements. These classes usually take place all day Saturday - the day I had the most business. So, aside from all the paperwork that needs to get filled out, paying of sales tax, I'm also expected to give up a full day of work for a class. After being in the business for 15 years, I can say that there wasn't much new or innovative that was worth me paying $300 for a course.
Who had the most influence in being a pain in my business and put up roadblocks to my business? It's certainly wasn't the rich guy.
He was the one busy giving me a salary.

Free Brian Aitken Rally
The following was posted at: http://conservativenewjersey.com/free-brian-aitken-rally
Please make every effort to attend:
The New Jersey Second Amendment Society is holding a rally on Sunday December 12, 2010 from 2:00pm to 6:00pm. The rally is being held at the American Legion Post 129 on 2025 Church Road in Toms River, NJ. We encourage all freedom loving people to come and show your support for Brian.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the plight of Brian Aitken, and to petition Governor Christie to grant Brian clemency and release him before Christmas. If you have been following Brian’s story, you know that he was arrested with his handguns unloaded, disassembled, and locked in a case in the trunk of his car. Brian has never before been convicted of any crime. Despite these facts, he was convicted of “unlawful” possession of firearms, and sentenced to seven years in prison. If you would like more information on Brian’s situation, please visit www.nj2as.com.
This is a gross miscarriage of justice. You are encouraged to bring signs in support of Brian and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
The following people are scheduled to appear. The list is growing daily, so check our website for updates:
NJ101.5 Radio Personality Dennis Malloy
Pro Second Amendment Attorney and Author Evan Nappen
Noted Pro 2A Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll
Assemblywoman Allison Little McHose
Members of Brian’s family
NJ2AS Officers and Board members
If you believe in the basic human right of self-defense and defense of family, please attend this important event and voice your support for Brian and his family.
