U.S. will sink farther without new leaders

Yes - March 21 was a historic day for our country. The final nail in the coffin was sealed for our financial collapse. President Obama and his Democratic-controlled Congress have brought us into a class with Spain/France/Britain/Greece/etc. financially and in our loss of freedom and control of our lives.

Obama's “New American“ has arrived and is just the start to his goal of a one-class America - where everybody makes $40,000 a year and has their housing/food/education/health care/retirement provided. The sad thing about this is many who read this will say what's wrong with that?

Nothing, I guess, for the 50 percent to 60 percent of Americans who pay no income tax and will receive all these benefits free! As well, we are just like the rest of all the failed countries that do this. They are all broke and have children who grow up with no sense of excelling in their lives. Why should they if the government gives them everything?

The America that our grandparents came here to build a future no longer exists - unless we change our representatives in November and our president in November 2012.
