The are many Americans who argue every day that the Government needs to maintain the Wall of Separation between Church and State. Well there is a real, true Wall of Separation that is at risk of being torn down the President Obama and the Liberal Democratic Leadership in Congress. This Wall of Separation is between the Government and the Free Market, Private Sector of the American Economy. Take under consideration GM ( Government Motors), all the Banks and Financial Institutions the Government now have a stake in, as well as pending Health Care Reform and it is not hard to see the Government chissling away that precious, necessary wall. The role of Government is to not participate in the competition, but to referee the competition. Lets consider the referees of a Football game, for example. The referees do not purposely affect the outcome of the game, at least they are not supposed to, their job is to make sure the rules are being followed and each team is playing fairly. In any given marketplace, the Government's role is to make sure each team is following the laws and playing the game fairly. The fact remains Government exists to keep Law and Order, not sell cars, involvement in the health care industry, or give loans. This begs the question, what is next? Is the government going to start running wal-mart? Will the Government start to run the NFL or the NBA? Is government going to start deciding what books Barnes & Noble can and cannot sell? Government cannot be involved in the Private Sector of the American economy, it will destroy it. Government does not exist to make a profit, that is the job of the people, each individual American citizen. When the size and scope of Government grow, there is the necessity of more money to be given to the Government, also known as more and higher taxes. Contrary to the belief of some certain unnamed Liberal Politicians in Washington, 5% of this country's population cannot support 100% of the country. YOUR taxes will be raised and that means less money in YOUR bank account and that ultimately leads to no American wealth and prosperity. After all, we are a nation of Individual People and our individual right to property needs to be protected and maintained. It bears repeating there is a Wall of Separation of State and Private Sector and this wall is precious and necessary. So, in a somewhat like fashion to President Reagan, I say, Mr. Obama do NOT tear down that wall!
