Makers and Laborers Should Suffice

In 2008, the "makers and takers" anthem in America began as a low chant, 2009 to 2012 the chant grew the loudest it had ever been, and now in 2013 the anthem is blaring as our congress duke it out over a piece of legislation called the Farm Bill, which serves to help American farmers and less fortunate individuals. 

Shouldn't it be "makers and laborers?" Where did "takers" come from? 

Makers create products which in turn create jobs, and laborers are usually workers within the companies that represent and/or produce these particular products. So you have makers who basically invent things and laborers who work the hardest getting products directly to the consumer. 

So where do the "takers" fit in? 

Exactly. They don't. Which is why they work "extremely" hard at their craft of taking. The "takers" I believe is what plagues our country and world as a whole, using extreme force and vicious actions to retain "the order of things." 

Be cautious as "takers" are sometimes hard to identify due to wearing masks on a daily basis, while others choose to go unmasked and unapologetic showing great pride in their blatant demeanor. The great task is maneuvering through our environments with precision and carefulness; a strategy may be necessary because without one, one could be walking innocently blind. But even innocence doesn't last long as it is constantly violated, lied to, robbed of, or even killed. 

The purity, of innocence, makes it that much more "truthful" and/or "original", therefore it must be "taken" hostage, left tainted, and then prized by the "takers" as one-less-truth in the world.
