\t\tPOOR RICHARD\u2019S REPORT
\n\t\t\tTHE TRUMPETS ARE ROARING
\n\t\t\tPart One
\n\tThe cloudless blue sky become a grey and black sky with ominous thunderheads suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Nations are powerless for the coming economic calamity even though intermittent rays of sunshine give false hope of a recovery.
\n\tThere is a battle between socialism \u2013 the false promise of security through government sponsored entitlements \u2013 and democracy. A true democracy has freedom of religion and free movement between the social class infrastructure depending upon one\u2019s ability.
\n\tSocialism breeds an elite upper class of the privilege few to govern the many.
\n\tTwo countries stand out. The United States of America which was founded on the principal of freedom of religion. Many immigrants came for the \u201cPursuit of Happiness\u201d.
\n\tThe other country is Turkey whose history is littered with major religious movements with individual freedoms versus a state religion.
\nOne of the greatest world leaders of the 20th Century was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who instituted freedom of religion in modern Turkey in 1923. Just compare modern day Turkey with it\u2019s Mideast Neighbors. The average citizen is held in high esteem by the rest of the world.
\n\tTheir armed forces based upon the Korean Conflict in 1948-1953 are held in high honor. However , and unfortunately , the political system in Turkey is turning away from democracy and religious freedom. Sadly the USA is trotting down the same path.
\n\tThe problem with democracies is when socialist leaders are elected they start instituting entitlement programs to secure reelection. Many of these programs were needed, but over subsequent years have been raided to fund other programs . In the united States The Social Security has been illegally raided. Instead of buying bonds and investing the income for compound interest- the government has been borrowing from it , and in a few years we will have a deficit. Correct actions are always hard to swallow by politicians; since the general population suffers.
\n\tA south American country , namely Argentina, was a very prosperous nation in 1914. The President decided it would be a good idea to share the wealth with the less fortunate, and they kept doing it . At That time the Argentina Peso was equal to the US Dollar. Today it would take a billion Argentina Peso\u2019s to equal one US Dollar.
\n\tToday democracies must keep a constant vigil on socialist countries; especially where they have little respect for human life.
\n\tWe need each other to explore the avenues of faith and prosperity. One nation cannot sustain itself anymore. We need each other, but we must play by the same rules and it is the people who must decide.
