Watching Diary of Anne Frank last night gave me so much perspective on what real fear, problems and challenges are. When I was 10 and my sister 14, our mom took us to see the movie. As we sat in the dark, from the first scene, my mother cried. I'm sure I cried at one point or another during that movie. I fell in love with the beautiful Milly Perkins and I got the book and read it several times during my teenage years.
The first time I traveled to Amsterdam, I toured the Frank House where they lived in hiding for over 2 years. My day was entombed in the grim reality of what happened to those innocent people and the millions of others who were imprisoned, tortured and perished in abject suffering. Thank God Anne's father survived to have the book published to spread its message throughout the world.
Seeing the movie again last night made me feel silly about the worry I have over the present political administration and congress. As much of a business nazi as Barack Obama is, we will be able to vote him out in 4 years. There are those that will take offense at the use of the word "nazi" for how I describe this president, but I do combine it with the word "business." Because he and congress are murdering business in this country. By heavily taxing the rich, wanting to build the economy from the bottom up, by taking over the banking industry, the auto industry, the college loan industry, and the health industry, not to mention that he has appointed 20 more czars than any other President, one of which is a Salary Czar!!! Barack Obama is killing off the private sector of this country. These take-overs do not even include the Cap and Trade (TAX) program he wants in place, the power of the EPA threatening business to either pay huge taxes or replace their entire way of creating business to stop climate change, the hypocrites at Copenhagen who will further crush business for the sake of saving the planet from global warming, (Do these people ever wonder how our planet emerged from ice ages without humans around? Do they ever realize how old this planet is and what it's gone through? ) and the results of this new bill that congress passed in the house to dismantle businesses that seem risky, plus the debt ceiling that congress just passed to 100% of our GDP. Thank you, Joe Lieberman.
By watching and analyzing The Diary of Anne Frank last night I have the perspective to know we will not be sent to concentration camps or have the horror of war on our home land. It's only money. We will get through this. However, the results of all of this regulation and control from our lawmakers will cause everone's budgets to only afford the basics. The cost of food, energy and the taxes to cover our deficit, which has tripled since Obama became President, will diminish the amount of money that goes to make real jobs out there. (Hello college students who think budget cuts are bad now, where do the taxes come from to pay for these things? Private Sector Jobs) Incentive, Money, Jobs and the one legitimate government run program, the military, are what makes this country great, not bloated senators or congressman, or a President who is so arrogant he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize having done nothing to earn it except talk. Yes, I will be grateful for this country and stop worrying so much about the economy because of Anne Frank, but hurry up 2012!
