"The Hunger Games" are real. If you're familiar with the books and movies, or have at least heard of the "Hunger Games" phenomenon, you're probably aware that the series tackles some pretty serious issues of poverty and economic inequality that hit way too close to home. If you're not, here's some background.
"The Hunger Games" takes place in the fictional world of Panem, which is a dystopian North America sometime in the far off future. All the wealth in the country is concentrated in the Capitol and people in the 12 districts are constantly in fear of starvation. Everything the people in the districts produce, whether it is coal, grain, machinery or clothing, is controlled by the Capitol. People are forbidden to hunt or grow their own food, thus relying on the Capitol's meager grain and oil rations.

Sounds like a socialist workers' paradise. Which is to say, it sounds like the 0bama administration.
Does Mr. Trumka look like he's missed a lot of meals?
Why just yesterday I forced two bums to fight to the death over half a twinkie I found behind the seat of the truck.
sheesh.

“Health care is a basic human right.
Americas labor movement has worked for more than a century
for guaranteed high-quality health care for everyone.
The Affordable Care Act is a historic milestone on this journey,
but we still have a long way to go.”
Dicky Trumka is a self-avowed communist. He is an enabler, and has protection from the effects of the societal “transformation” he is helping engineer.
Our answer: fire the politician bums and get taxes lowered to a permanently low flat rate. That's the only language these bums understand. A thriving free market economy is the best anti-poverty program known to man.
The Health Care Games: winner gets to see the doctor first.
The middle class is the biggest enemy of liberal Utopian schemes to concentrate ever greater political power in ever fewer hands.
And since, by extension, traditional stable marriage has been the key to membership in the middle class, the Democrat war on the middle class must necessarily include a war on traditional marriage.
Bump for Later
A rerun of the Stalin administration’s policies in Ukraine.
Whoa. . .for a sec there, I thought you wrote “hump” for later.
Whoa. . .
;-)
key line of 2:
remember who is the real enemy
They’re pitting the low to moderate income people of the country who work AGAINST those who have fallen into welfare dependency. Our enemy is not really the other poor bastards. Our enemy is the powers that be.
Yow!,I may have too see it.
I’d buy her a cheeseburger!
In the books, the Hunger Games sound just like Agenda 21, where people live in these enclaves (districts), and the land outside of these districts are vast areas of land that have been returned to the wild (rewilding).
Panem is the name of the fictional nation, and it derives from the Latin phrase “panem et circenses”, which literally translates into “bread and circuses”.
Only on Wednesday!
