God help us, 'takers' are in control

Our country seems to favor the redistribution of wealth. The takers have outvoted the producers. And we working people, our children and children's children, will pay the price for a very long time, if not forever.

My children will never see or experience the nation my parents or I have known. We will pay a reduced standard of living and, reduced freedoms. God help us. And God bless America.
