“Trapping Feral Pigs, And Other Parables Of Modern Life” (Free Republic thread)
Let sequestration happen.. let it crash. See how the 49% that think uncle sugar will always be there feel when he’s not.
Unfortunately for America the scale has tipped for the people who want to free load off the rest of us.
You are absolutely right. All too many people don’t care about a bad economy. They have given up on success. They just want the government to ensure their miserable basis needs and they are satisfied. Just like a bunch of animals. Add to that that they want to see people who are better off punished and brought down. It’s all rather primal and ugly.
It's NOT the economy. Jobs don't mean anything anymore. Half the country DOESN'T WANT A JOB. With the huge influx of freeloaders into our country from sewers all over the world, the "new norm" has become, "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?! I WANT FREE STUFF!" The 'RATS will give them free stuff in exchange for keeping them in power.
I think what shocks me more than anything else is that my state sent Allen West home and sent Alan Grayson back to Washington.
This is the zombie apocalypse, we are in it right now.
The question I am asking myself is do I want to keep working so hard trying to keep it all together? How many of you feel that you outwork your democrat country men? Now they are climbing on your back and shouting “Forward”! Will all the “angry white men” just keep plugging away under this system? Democrats are betting that you will. I am betting maybe we are weary.
Actually their economies can get a lot worse and they lack the skills to turn it around for themselves. Personally, I will adapt to less and find happiness through my children and family. But when the Chinese and Japanese call in their loans they will not be sympathetic enough to allow them to keep their Obama phones and energy price assistance.
This system will completely crash and chaos will result. If the rest of us choose to continue to live be locked and loaded. It will not be pretty and blood will flow. The children of America will have nowhere to turn if their parents are unprepared.
Unfortunately, this time there will be no one left to offer a sanctuary of liberty and freedom that will save them.
***...just over half of the voters want the rest of the voters to pay for their food, clothing, housing, education, entertainment, health-care,***
The parasites now outnumber the producers, like locusts in a field.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. (Then turn to elect him again like a Pavlovian dog returns to it’s own vomit!)
The message of no new taxes, reducing spending, etc. only resonated with those who do pay taxes and understand spending needs to stop/slow (buy the groceries)....the other voters understood that with no new taxes and spending reduction, that would effect them.(their taste buds and stomach)
This country has a higher “consumption” population than ever before, whether by design, laziness or forced to “Feed” because of this economy...the welfare state has exploded...it’s a created majority voter base - the table is large.
Those that are feeding off this country won the vote to not just request... but dictate what’s for dinner from those who are making dinner....they did not pay for the food...and they will not help with the dishes....
So, how long will you keep cooking for them?
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."
It hit me last night that this country is gone. Obama winning the popular vote proved it to me. This is what the majority want. This is what we’ll get.
This also sounds like the premise of the book ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand which has been made into a movie. The book describes to a tee how socialism comes to creep into a free market economy vis a vis the non-producing looters feeling entitled to a "free lunch" at the expense of the producers.
As the saying goes, "Give a monkey a banana and he will never climb another tree!!!"
