Middle America has been showing its strength, not just through its guns, religion, and supposed bigotry, but by its votes. Pennsylvania's primary proved this. Middle America is clinging to its guns because it sees candidates such as Barack, Hillary, and McCain as unlikable, not capable of change, and not working for the American people, their claims to be doing so to the contrary.

Americans see higher taxes in their future. They know that Social (in)Security (SinS) cannot be maintained without further raises in FICA, or revenue, something I proclaimed back in the Reagan era when the government was in another hoodwinking mode. Back then, FICA was raised to make the program solvent, but the premise was that the money taken in would be used for expenditures today, making the receipts years out pay for them. Well, as Barack's preacher, Reverend White has so succinctly stated, "...the chickens have come home to roost," and they forgot about the nest egg they had saved for us almost two generations ago.

Anyone with half a brain could have seen that SinS cannot ever be workable (even in FDR's time there had to be some) given it takes from today's generation to pay for today's recipients. Never was any money saved, or st aside, in a special fund. It was merely put into government IOU's. These IOU's are coming due, and the only way to prepare for the payouts is through printing of more money, or raising taxes, both of which will lead to inflation.

But, the government, long ago, figured this into SinS by reconfiguring the way they calculate inflation. Thus, real inflation is hidden in number crunching numb nut formulae, which only a mathematics scholar can understand. But, boots on the ground, "we the people," have figured it out long ago. They saw larger pay out for goods and services did not equate with government numbers. Today real inflation, for the market basket of goods of middle America, has increased 50%, if not more, in just a few short years, but calculations by our government have inflation below 3% most years. This doesn't add up in the super markets of America. Foodstuffs are considerably more expensive today than they were just a few short years ago, and with the food shortages being predicted, with other countries holding our debt, what commodities will they demand from us first? Will it not be our food, of which they are in short supply? So, our money will come bac to us in higher food prices.

What Obama doesn't understand is that middle America clings to its guns and religion because it is on that which they can rely. God is a constant. Guns are a means to hunt food, and protect our homes and loved ones, for surely our open borders government isn't protecting us. Surely bigotry never enters the equation in most of middle America, because most of middle America could care less about hatred sensed by the left. The left's senses have been dulled over the years by constant diatribes about race. Blame for the hardships of different segments, and let's be clear here, it is one main segment which has fallen on hardship, the black community. Latino's seem able, especially the illegal immigrant community, to find jobs, and make something of themselves. Asian immigrants fare well, both academically, and monetarily. Their work ethic is such that they are able, and capable. But, blacks, and some portion of Latino's whose families have been here since the welfare generation of the 1060's, especially those in inner city areas, have forgotten any work ethic they may have had. That is not the fault of middle America, but the fault of our nation's leaders, and the leaders within those inner city communities. They were looking for handouts when they should have been looking for hand ups. Worse, Barack's middle America was oblivious, or more importantly, unable to make a difference because of the high concentration of inner city socialists (for that is what the Democratic Party has become) voter registration.

What middle America has a problem with is the ever growing phenomenon of government. It can no longer afford the luxurious government social(ist) programs foisted upon it, especially with rising inflation, and ever higher taxation at the state and local levels. And, this is what the people see from Democratic candidates. Certainly they will save SinS, but at what cost to America's youths. And, why can't America's youths wake up to the fact that Barack will be selling them down a river of higher taxes, and lower wages, inflation which eats up their earning potential, and saddles them with increasing debt as much as it does the government. So, if Barack really wanted to become one with middle America he woud join them in expecting lower inflation, guaranteeing them lower taxation, fewer social programs, and a revived economy. He would seal our borders, an seek to return that population which lives here outside of our laws for the sake of middle America. Instead, Obama will keep blaming us for the problems when it is leadership which is supposed to fix them. Instead, the fixes are always temporary. The government programs ever increasing trying to fix what government cannot fix. But, I don't think any of the three top contenders understand this.
