Victory is ours already we don't need to work toward it...

Today was a very significant day. I officially declared my candidacy for State Representative for the 64th District in Kenton Co. Additionally, the new Governor of Ky (Steve Beshear) gave his State of the State address tonight and I watched to hear what he had to say.

I have to admit I was shocked to hear a Democratic Governor speak of fiscal responsibility. Although he didn't make the now infamous, "Read my lips, no new taxes," quote he did provide a fiscally conservative overtone in his message saying that the State government had to make some cuts in the coming days and he didn't want to raise taxes "unless necessary".

The "unless necessary" part jolted me back to reality. Why? Because the hope of turning Ky around doesn't exist in the hands of the politicians at all. In fact, the best thing he could have said tonight is, "I intend to get out of the way and not stand in the way of the free markets." You see, the Governor gave a good speech tonight, but he missed the philosophy of success.
The philosophy of success is to work from victory, not toward it.

Let me explain...
The Governor spoke in very flowery non-descript words tonight. He spoke of working toward victory. The problem is, why spend any more time working toward victory when that road map has already been laid? John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan showed us that the road map to economic recovery starts with tax cuts.

After each of the aforementioned tax cuts, we experienced great economic prosperity and the same can work in Kentucky, but we need people in office who understand that the secret to success has already been established and the rule of law exist in the Constitution. We just need representatives who are brave enough to follow it and truly restore the power of government to the people by following tried and true conservative principals-small government, lower taxes and LESS spending.

We need a governing body and a Governor who don't look to government to fix the problems. No, we need a batch of new servants in Frankfort who understand the philosophy of success and get out of the way of the free markets.
