SIX CONUNDRUMS in AMERICA:
My friend asked me about these six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:
1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is
subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are
victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the
government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting
poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in
other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about -
yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it! And that pretty much sums up the USA in the
21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
These three, following short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our
current government and cultural environment:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions
of a few lunatics.
FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS. AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE WORTH CONSIDERING…
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run
out of money. BUT WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT WELFARE OR FOOD STAMPS RUNNING OUT
OF MONEY ! What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their
money, but the second didn't.
And last but not least :
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our
military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, BUT WE
ARE NOT STOPPING THE PAYMENTS OR BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.

YOU ARE DOOMED TO LIVE UNDER THE RULE OF FOOLS." – PLATO
