Competition is GOOD

I had a conversation with someone earlier in the week that made the following statement in regards to my job..."I wouldn't like the competing aspect."
WHAT? All business is competition...every single industry, business period is competing for something and against someone.
Why is competition good you might ask...it holds people, businesses, and companies accountable and forces them to provide quality services/products...or they lose business.

It really is that simple...competition is good, regardless of the industry.
Now you know me...tie this into politics!

There is a reason that Healthcare Reform (Obamacare) will be bad for our country. If it continues as is written, it will ultimately force a single payer system (which is possibly the plan from the beginning since Obama was quoted saying he preferred a single-payer system, which means the government).

So, as the political debates heat up...don't be misguided. Competition is good, the free-market is good AND people with money (and the companies they work for) are not bad. The more I hear it, the more it drives me crazy...people with more money are not the enemy.
Look at it this way..."to much is given, much is expected." as paraphrased from the Bible. Those who are fortunate to make more income...God expects more out of them. Not only that, but they have competed at some level in order to set themselves up to have the ability to make that money. (whether that be in education, hard work, etc)

Let's quit playing this political game they want us to play...let's look at the facts as this political season starts to heat up.
