Conundrum
Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. (Think this one over and over
makes sense!)
"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.
Here are 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, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
These three, 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.
Think about it.....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 i*****l a***ns.
What Are We Missing?

Yes, some very good questions and they should be asked of our "elected" people and get an answer that would satisfy all of us. Have you tried lately? I have, not gotten any answer at all. So what is the solution???? elect new people who WILL get you an answer to your satisfaction.

It's easy to determine the missing piece of the puzzle, but harder to determine who actually has it in their possession. The missing piece is "MONEY". Not the spending thereof, but the making thereof.
The reality is, money motivates everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, mostly meaning the t***sfer of wealth from many to the few. No activity of any sort, from the most altruistic seeming, to the most egregiously greedy sort, occurs - without money being involved - t***sferred from one source to another.
So, it's easy to see that the making of money, or the t***sfer of wealth from one source to another, is the piece we're missing - because SOMEONE is gaining that wealth being t***sferred - but that's where the "easy" part ends. Finding out where, or more accurately who, that wealth finally winds up at, is virtually impossible to accomplish. A single person may control hundreds of paper corporations, through who's coffers wealth is t***sferred multiple times, making it's final resting place impossible to determine.
The bottom line is, ALL governmental operations, no matter how innocuous seeming - t***sfer wealth from the public coffers into the personal coffers - of someone, or a handful of someone's. Trying to determine exactly who an individual representative is working for, is likewise hard to nail down, as even THEY are probably unaware of who their ultimate boss is - but we CAN have absolute confidence that it is NOT the folk who elected them and they don't even try to hide that fact much anymore - because they feel we have no choice to elect one of them no matter what.
I still wonder what the Congress would look like, if it was 1/3 republican, 1/3 democrat and 1/3 independent. If nothing else, it would force those mysterious "bosses" a moments confusion - about 15 minutes at least.

Well maybe we the people should try for this kind of solution and then maybe, just maybe, we could solve a lot of americas problems. without all the bosses included.

Yeah well, I've been trying to get that idea to take hold for years, but dems and repubs work together very well to ensure that folks think their v**e will be wasted if they v**e for an indie. That's a preposterous concept, but folks buy it all the same. Maybe this year?
