Create Your Own Economy

Rush Limbaugh was a man who was, of course, known for his strong conservative political views. His radio talk show was historically the most successful and most widely listened to radio show to ever hit the airwaves. And there was good reason for that. His words were wise, and they carried weight. But outside of politics he also shared many philosophies to his listeners which were often times extremely insightful, encouraging, uplifting, and inspirational. One of his philosophies was independence—creating your own status quo. Not fighting the 'system,' but operating in a way that the system does not matter. "People want power and control over your life. You can either let them have it, or you can simply take control over yourself. Sticking it to the man is not about screwing the rich, as so many want you to believe. It's about sticking it to the people who want you to believe they are on your side and not understanding who actually IS on your side." These were not his words ver batim. But that was his message. America, he said many times, is the greatest country on Earth, with the greatest opportunities to succeed ever known to man. No one can stifle your dreams. No one can tell you that you can't do something if you really want to do it. The only hurdle is BELIEVING you can't do something. In part of his message he talked often about all of the things that can affect our financial status in life. Inflation, taxes, policies and regulations that add to the costs of everything we buy. People in power holding us down, regardless of what they tell you their intent is. If we let THEM hold us back and hold us down and allow them to force us to play by their rules, that's what they want. That's their goal. They don't want YOU to know better. Regardless of wages. Regardless of status. Regardless of the bills we create for ourselves. We all have the power to create our own economies. We can save and invest. We can partcipate in success. And when inflation is killing us, and gas prices are killing us, and taxes are killing us... We don't have to play along with the POWER structure. We can make our own futures and create our own economies. Power is one thing and one thing only. The ability to tell you that you don't have it, and to convince you that you can't have it. To allow other people to tell you what is impossible and then tell you that those who have financial means are evil, greedy people out to screw you. They tell you, "You can't ever have what they have." And they force you to believe it. Many do. But you don't have to. You can buck it. The whole thing. Taxes, inflation, low wages? These are all a part of life. You can allow these things to be your excuse and hold you down or you can say no more. Enough of that, and BUCK it all. The power. The REAL power. The powers that tell you they are on your side when all their aim really is, is to hold you back and hold you down and keep you in their control. They want you to hate success and hate the rich and hate accomplishment. If you say no to it then you gain independence and personal wealth, and suddenly you no longer need the "powers that be." And when that happens? The powerful become powerless.
