When I was a young child, I heard about the crazy crap happening in the world by watching my folks watching the news and listening to the commentary. It was relatively mild stuff compared to now...gas shortages and inflation, tax rates, crappy domestic cars, Japan was taking over the world...but compare that to now, and it seems like the days we long for. Maybe it was all going on back then, but I never heard too much about crooked senators, tax evading economic advisors to the President, unapproved wars, gun running to Mexican cartels, TSA maulings at the airport, Solyndra/Sun Power crony capitalism, Gibson Guitar Wood controversy, Union bailouts, Election fraud/Acorn, tsars for every aspect of our lives...etc. I'm not sure if I am more outraged at all these things, or if what really grates my gonads is the acceptance we have of these things, while focussed on the unwashed idiots and paid homeless who camp out pretending to be outraged at businesses who are jumping through hoops to avoid taxes in our ridiculous tax code. Where is Susan Powter to yell "STOP THE INSANITY"?
Have we ever had a society so brainwashed into thinking that communism is the answer? It seems like 50% of the people I speak with have no problem saying things like, "I don't mind if some billionaire gets taxed more if I can get out of paying my ..." but when I say, "would you be ok if the company owned by the billionaire fires you to pay for the increased taxes?" all of a sudden, there's a different tune being sung. But these homeless and jobless morons being organized by ACORN in NY don't have to worry about being fired, they don't care about working. They come from a sad part of America that said it was ok during the 60's and 70's to live the free love lifestyle, and someone else would watch out for them. Just look at Obama's speeches. "Stay on your parents insurance until you are 26" "Just because you made an agreement with a bank to pay off your education doesn't mean that you should have to sacrifice your creature comforts to pay those evil banks back"...who the hell is going to cover those bad debts? oh, the federal gov't guarantees them...cool...so...shit, that means I WILL. DAMN YOU BUMS, if you wanna grow your hair out, dye it green and put all sorts of crap in your ears, nose, eyes and cheeks, fine...but when you can't get a job because you look like a crayon drawing done by a blind retarded 6 year old, then have the decency to starve quietly in some alleyway somewhere. "Stupid should have consequences". idiots.
I'd really like to know why our houses of congress can impeach a guy for lying about a hummer in the oval office, but this guy in office now has done more to violate 5 U.S.C. 7311, and should be shot by a firing squad or hung for treason. Now...I'm not saying we should do a predator drone strike against him, that's not legal to do against a US citizen without due process...or...is it now? hmmm. Unfortunately, 18 U.S.C. 1918 says the most we can do to him is fine and imprisonment up to 366 days. I say we bring him up on charges ASAP, and if congress/House are too chickenshit to do anything about it, maybe we need some civil disobedience of our own...like thousands of emails and calls and sitins and letters and shouting and picketing our members of congress and the house. There is a reason for the previously mentioned laws...it is to guarantee that if there are 50% idiots in this country, they can't force the other half to pay for all their free goodies. In effect, it is a way to make sure we don't turn into Greece. Well, if the laws aren't enforced...what's to stop us from being trillions of dollars in debt with no fortitude to get out of debt. The times, they are a changin...and unless there is a revolution in Nov of 2012, there will be a bigger one after that.
At least we have one saving grace, this super committee that has less than a month to find 1.2t dollars...as long as SS and medicare isn't touched. WHAT? OK, if there are 70 year olds out there living on SS, I have to ask you, WHY DIDN'T YOU PLAN TO RETIRE WITH PRIVATE SAVINGS ALSO????? Oh...you shouldn't have to...SS was designed to sustain you...ahhhh...then answer me this, "Why in the name of all that is holy are you asking ME to find a way to pay you're debt, and save privately for my own retirement?" How about we force you, the 70 year olds, to pay the piper. YOU voted for these criminal senators to rob the SS funds. You have kicked the can down the road for the past 30 years, assuming your kids and grandkids will solve this problem...Fine, we will solve it. All union pension plans that have any money in them at all go to the SS fund immediately. Union bosses who are collecting all sorts of money from pensions, including fraudulent 200,000 /yr scams that most are doing...all gets put into the SS fund, and the union bosses and members get put on the SS dole at reduced levels. That should be a shot in the arm. How's that for a start...a little skin in the game...or is it "peas" on your plate. I'm done being in the 53% of fed tax payers...if you make 35K/year, get ready to pay YOUR fair share...
Gas, Grass, or Ass, nobody rides for free. Hows that for a 70's reference?
