This week I came upon a story of people standing in line, some where in Georgia, waiting to get Government vouchers to pay their heating bills. People complained of the line and the wait as well as the process. During this news cast they interviewed a woman in her house speaking of the struggles to pay her bills etc.... In the background of her living room was a 65 INCH flat screen and a 360 XBOX!!! It is a tough world out there! What is the cause of this enormous priority shift? Why is she getting Government money when she has a $5000 TV? TV and XBOX before paying utilities. I hear you bleeding hearts already, "she had that stuff before she hit hard times" "what business is it of yours what she has?"...... Well if she has hit hard times then sell things that aren't a need. It is my business as well as yours if she is receiving ANY Government money. Because as I have said many times, the Government has no money it is only money they have taken from hard working Americans. So you and I are paying for these Government hand outs to these people who in reality just need to make a few priority changes as well as distinguish what is a "need" versus a "want". Our current "poverty" in America is living large off of the backs of the evil rich and working class. The average American in "poverty" has at least ONE car, ONE TV, ONE computer, and a cell phone. Things are a little out of whack don't you think?
Is this their fault? Of course not, no one is responsible for their plight in life. It is always someone else's fault. I say it is the fault of the Government, Federal and State. Our current Government is The Great Enabler and has been for well over 100 years or so. Starting as early as Teddy, who was a land grabber, to Wilson. who established the graduated Federal Income Tax along with The Federal Reserve and The Federal Trade Commission. Then Hoover brought us the Reconstruction Finance Corporation , much like Bush's TARP, this program bailed out farmers, bankers. unemployed..... FDR continued the bail outs with a vengeance thus giving us "THE NEW DEAL" , which extended "The Great Depression" for 10 more years. History does repeat itself if we don't learn from it. You can easily equate Hoover and FDR to Bush and Obama, the similarities are scary. That is what has brought us to people with 65 inch flat screen TVs demanding Government help. This explains our current individual fiscal responsibility throughout the US. People expect things even if they really can't afford it, be it a house, car, vacation.... The Government has set the example in fiscal responsibility or lack there of. The Government spends like a drunken NBA player at a strip club. I don't like the derogatory statement about sailors. It is time all of us take responsibility for our own finances, including all levels of Government. The Government has set the example, no wonder people over extend their budget to get the latest and biggest TV.
If we are honest with ourselves there are very few "poor" in America today, our so called poor are rich in the eye's of the Third World countries. Try dirt floors, no hot water or running water for that matter. No medical except from Missionary Doctors from the Evil United States, well that's what our president thinks of us. Our "poor" complain that they don't have an I Phone or the latest stylish basketball shoe. Or, and this is the latest from FCC panelist Mignon Clyburn, daughter of James Clyburn leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and number three House Democrat of South Carolina, stated "Free access to the internet is not only a civil right for every nappy headed child (her words) in America, but is essential to their self-esteem. Every minority child deserves to be not only connected, but be proud of who he or she is." GOD forbid you have to actually go out an work for what you get!
This country wasn't built on entitlements or an enabling Government, that is what we have become. Gone are the days that kids are taught to work hard and study hard and they will reap the rewards. No they told that they are entitled to an education, job, healthcare, home, clothing, food..... I'm here to tell you liberal, worthless, Marxist, lazy, Anti-American fuck-heads these are NOT rights. You have the right to Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness. Not the guarantee of happiness!!
P.S. I trust everyone feels safer now that gays in the military can watch Project Runway and Glee with out the repercussions of our bigoted system. And of course now that Russia will dictate how many nuclear missiles we have on hand you can rest easy. I am just bursting with a warm and fuzzy feeling. You can thank the spineless RINO's for these things. You expect this kind of destruction of our defense from Democrats.
