    The folks who are getting the FREE STUFF, don't like the folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF, Because the folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF, Can no longer afford to pay for both the FREE STUFF and their own STUFF, And,

    The folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF, Want the FREE STUFF to stop.
    and the the folks who are getting the FREE STUFF, Want even more FREE STUFF on top of the FREE STUFF they are already getting!
    Now...

    The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the FREE STUFF, Have told the people who are RECEIVING the FREE STUFF, That the people who are PAYING for the FREE STUFF, Are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
    So...

    The people who are GETTING the FREE STUFF, Have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the FREE STUFF, By the people who are forcing some people to pay for their FREE STUFF, And giving them the FREE STUFF in the first place.

    We have let the FREE STUFF giving go on for so long that there are Now more people getting FREE STUFF than paying for the FREE STUFF.
    Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason ???

    The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
    The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that in 2012.

    Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.
    ELECTION 2012 IS COMING
    A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!

    I hope the American voters think long and hard about the long term results of their vote this time around.

    I agree 100% with post number one , but lets face it, the NEXT elected person is not going to change the system ..... the people will have to take it upon themselves to make the change.

    the problem is the coddling that has gone one for far too long.
    everyone wins at little league games, because someones feelings might get hurt. people still get to advance to the next grade level because failing might scar them for life. Getting a swat or two from your dad is now considered child abuse. your mom is suppose to be your buddy now. not the force of good in the house. this has bred a generation of idoits whom dont know what its like to fail. because in the real world ....feelings get hurt. people lose. no one knows how to work hard for what they want ...rather they think that they are owed these things.

    i went to college, i got a 4 year degree, i couldn't find a job in my field. guess what? i found the highest paying job i could. and i am still working for that same type of job 6 years later. i have 20 grand in student loan debt left. we cant all be fabulously wealthy but i get by
    oh well....thats how life happens. its my fault i went to college and racked up the debt. but i learned a lot there. not so much from the instructors but from the experiences out side the class room. so i feel that debt gave me a good deal. am i happy? for the most part yes! ( i don't like living where i am living but that's a whole other issue) and my problems are my own!

    I'm not going to get into a pointless political argument here, but I find that very hard to believe.
    I hope you're only quoting one of those made up emails that gets circulated from time to time.

    Source?
    Link?
    Proof? :hmmm:

    It's just a JOKE! with just a touch of reality that the tax revenue is not enough to support all the bills and programs that exist today. In my own house if I spend more than I took in the reality is that I couldn't last more than a few months. Individuals like us can't print new money.:D

    No proof necessary other than a 15 trillion dollar debt.

    Not sure what you mean by 'free stuff'. Actually, I'm not sure what you mean by 'free' or 'stuff'. Actually, I'm not so sure about you. All of which leaves me to be sure about myself. Egads! You mean I have to know myself? No one has ever expected that of me - not even my mother, and she has known me nine months longer than anyone on earth. I don't know, maybe I should get to know myself better. Do you know what I'm talking about? I know you think you know but I also know there's a chance nobody knows nuthin'. How do I know this? Who knows?

    OK let's summarize the US FY 2012 Budget.

    The US will take in 2.6 trillion dollars.

    The US will spend 3.7 trillion dollars.

    The US will pay 240 billion in interest on the debt which is around 15 trillion dollars. (we have a great interest rate).

    The US will cut the 15 trillion dollar debt by 1.1 trillion this year.

    So, the US will spend 1.1 trillion more than it takes in, reduce the already 15 trillion debt by 1.1 trillion and they call that debt reduction. Seems like a break even to me but I don't understand national math.

    So, I'm wondering using the national math whether I could borrow 6 times my income and be good.:tiphat:

    Free and Stuff! I thought I understood this at the beginning. But since I don't seem to be getting any free stuff---and not intentionally giving any out, I wonder if I am the minority or it is my fault that our government is so far in the hole! As soon as I figure out how to get my scanner and printer working properly with this new type ink I will attempt to make enough new money to get everyone out of debt............. That is after I get myself out of it first and buy one of every car and wagon I have been drouling over. :rofl2: Just hold your breath until I finish!:dance:

    "when you figure out, that you haven't figured it out, that's when you finally have your **** together"

    confuse the masses, blind them with bull****. Thats how they are doing it.
    when there is chaos and mass confusion you can do anything you want!
