I have a sticker up on my living room wall that simply says "If you're not outraged...You're not paying attention".  Sadly , the longer it stays there the more profound it seems to become.

We seem to be faced with the reality the the "American People", as a whole, are truly dumber than a bag of hammers. WE, the american people, have put into the position of power over us a group of folks that, it seems, have not the least concern for what happens to the majority of us. The idea of party over populous rules the day.

"Obama-Care", the death nail of all that we have striven to obtain, must be abolished!
Even if that means that we go back to when a lot of folks got their medical care in the emergency rooms instead of a Doctors office. Never mind that I have a hunk of bone disconnected from the other half, that poor person with a bad cough and fever must come first! After all "you're paying for it" . These folks that don't have the cash, or don't want to budget the cash, have just the same rite to the same healthcare as I do. As long as the ER doesn't find out that I have the $$ to cover the treatment I can get it for free too! I feel healthcare should be a 'perk' of living in the greatest nation in the world. Hell they have it in the poorest countries why shouldn't we have it here? OH Dang, I forgot...that's Socialism...and that is a bad thing.

Social Security!!! That bastion of free entitlements! This must be stopped!?
If the powers that be really want to do away with this freeloading drain on the economy, I want my money back! I have been paying into this 'socialist' program since I started working back in 1970. Granted it was not much, a dishwasher only made so much. But I was promised a return on my investment when I was old enough to retire that would see me through the rough times. The word is "It's going broke" 'we just can't seem to make ends meet'. 'Too many baby boomers are creating too much strain on the system'. Well that might have been the case if the powers that be, for many years, hadn't taken vast sums of money from the coffers. It seems that the social security bank account had a lot more money than it needed at the time and was ripe for some 'Peter pay Paul' financing. The answer is simple...remove the cap on the social security tax limit. I disagree that it means a tax increase, it is just a commonsense remedy to a limit that made no sense when it was written. Why limit the payment to your insurance when you have made "X" amount of money? Maybe we should not allow the people who make "X" amount of money in their retirement to collect any money at all!? No, that would be just as wrong.

I don't profess to have the answers. Maybe the 'Red Folks' have the right idea.
If you can't pay the freight you don't get the rewards. We should just kick them to the curb and wait for the people scoopers to come and take them away. We can worry about who will make our bread, pick our crops, clean our bedpans in the hospitals, deliver our morning papers, take our trash away every week, even gather our eggs for our breakfast. And don't worry about who will package our food and check us out at the grocery store or bag our groceries.

It will all be like magic! The money will all float to the top of the pyramid and the bottom, out of the grace of their hearts, will do all the toiling that is needed.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY? OR WHAT!
