"Tito the Builder" is John McCain's latest supporter to come out. But he didn't come out attacking Obama. He came out swinging at the media for failing the American people! This video is from his interview with Megyn Kelly. This evening he was a guest on Hannity and Colmes and gave Colmes a good run for his money.
The best thing that he said tonight on H&C was regarding Obama's "tax credits." He said that if he gets let's say a $2000 check in the mail from the government under Obama, sponsored of course by the "wealthy" (or Obama's version of wealth anyway!) that if you break down that $2000, that comes to $0.96 an hour and he won't work for that amount of money!
Tito the Builder is the epitome of what the American Dream is all about. He didn't ask for handouts. He came to America (legally I might add) and saw that it had to offer. He started out like most people start out. They start out in what they may perceive to be a dead end job, but he didn't let it become that. He didn't let it become his life. It was a stepping stone to bigger and better things because he wanted it enough! And now he owns his own small construction company and is living his version of the American Dream.
He sees through the bs, he sees through the media. While other people in his position may see Obama as a gateway to better things, he calls it for what it really is. He cut through Obama's rhetoric in the most simple of terms: Obama wants to keep those who are down, down by appeasing them and encouraging poor behavior by rewarding it with "free money from the rich" because it isn't fair that they have money and you don't.
John McCain is right about one thing. The American People DO work hard. Most of us do. Most of us hit that alarm clock in the morning and drag ourselves out of our warm beds, away from our families, our dog, our household chores and bust our butts for 8 hours or more. We sit through rush hour traffic twice a day, get chewed out by higher ups for mistakes that may or may not be ours, listen to customers complain, bag groceries, perform bank transactions, swing sledge hammers, work our fingers until they are numb on a computer keyboard, perform heart surgery, sit in a classroom to lectures, teach children how to add and subtract, and style hair to work toward our dreams.
But we do it. And with little to no complaining because it is all a step in the plan.
We need social classes to make the world go around. Someone has to flip the burgers, bag the groceries, and mop the floors just as much as we need someone to run the companies. But if you actually apply yourself, you won't be in that position forever. You will find something better and it will mean something because you earned it. And the person to take your place will earn their path to bigger and better things too.
But only if they want to earn it on their own accord instead of having it handed to them.
