Jeffersonian America

Had Jeffersonian Politics endured so would Noblesse Oblige ... it still exists here in Schoharie among the wealthy Libertarians in this tight secluded Yeoman Farmer community. In industrial cities, "We the People" translates to "We the drones" —"no land, no home, and massive consumerism". Socialistic values take root to prevent child labor and starvation wages. Urban government is much different that rural government. Rural America elected Bush mocking the political power of the coastal cities. I found this quite interesting. Embers of freedom still exist in America that if ignite will enflame many hearts to service? I think Obama's Acorn activities were an unseasoned attempt at this. If you can help people to own their own home, just as your Lincoln parchment states, then they would be uninterested in tearing down that of others. The mistake was in the funding process. There needed to be special guidelines for first time, sub-prime buyers that would help them develop new economic habits toward slow growth. Instead, the homes quickly generated foolish and unmanaged credit spending where a little delayed gratification was much needed. They never made it off the runway. The whole system they were riding crashed. The banks, that were forced to fund the homes the people were buying are no fools. Struggling to recover, the banks will protect themselves, let the people bear their own burden, and harness the politicians who created the travesty to bear the weight and the ignomany. Obama who forced the issue of sub-prime and is now a castrated and tortured President .... another interesting dynamic in my opinion. I have more respect for the banks now than I ever did before. Maybe the banks are where the freedom is at. Maybe, they are Jeffersonian America?
