Obammunist Conundrum: No More Free Stuff
Reaganite Republican ^ | May 7, 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 05/07/2012 8:13:00 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

Or: 'It's over, idiots'


The folks who are getting the free stuff do not 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...

So the folks who are paying for the free stuff want 
the much-swollen flow of free stuff to stop.


But amazingly, the folks who are getting all this free stuff want even more free stuff on-top of the (undeserved) free stuff they are already getting!


Now, the people who are forcing people to pay for other people's 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... selfish... prejudiced... even racist.


You see, people who are GETTING all 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 others to pay for their free stuff- and who irresponsibly promised them all the free stuff in the first place).



Alas, we have let the free-stuff-giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for all these people's free stuff...



As you've likely heard before, all great democracies have committed financial  suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. 



The reason ? 



Basically, selfish, shortsighted, and unpatriotic voters figured out they could vote themselves access to the national treasury by electing the kind of unprincipled snakes willing to give them money from the treasury and/or Chinese loans in exchange for putting them in office.


The United States of America officially became a Republic in 1776... 236 years ago this July. And we already find ourselves with more people getting free stuff than the number of people paying for the free stuff. 


There's perhaps just one more chance to change that in 2012.



Failure to reverse course from the reckless fiscal brinkmanship of the Obama era spells the end of the USA as we know it...


ELECTION 2012 IS COMING

At one point, the extra money, cars, house, etc. that I have will be exhausted. At that point I only will be left with my 2A stuff. At that point, I can arrange to turn over that stuff - one item at a time.

I am of the opinion that America the Republic was destroyed by two amendments.

The 16th which destroyed direct apportionment taxation and the 17th which destroyed the power of the state legislators to have a voice in Congress.

The critical failure in the OWS thought process (likely an oxymoron, but let's go with it for the moment) is that the "1%" control the economy through some nefarious means so they should be forced to pay for everything the "99%" needs wants. They think by doing this that they have managed to put the "1%" under their control.

Far from it, though. If they get their way, like any other parasite, they now become dependent on the host for their own well-being. You think the big boys are "too big to fail" now? How about when your apartment, food, and school won't be paid if we let XYZ Corp. go under?

When you have that much of a vested interest to keep the goodies coming, who wouldn't turn a blind eye to malfeasance?

Oh sure, not at first. Because the parasites will feed freely, draining the host of all vitality, and then move on to another host. But eventually they'll have to realize that the source of hosts is drying up, and the ones they can manage to latch onto aren't of the same quality as the ones previously.

Eventually, the survival instinct will kick in. But unlike producers, who will fight for survival by doing thing for themselves, the parasites will just give more and more power and control to whatever host they've managed to latch onto (and by this point, likely the federal government) in a last-ditch attempt to keep the freebies flowing.

Baraq’s on a roll, spending $1.40 for every $1 in receipts.

Just like a family riding a false prosperity wave with credit cards and helocs, then crashing into Chapter 7 bk.

My only worry is that he won’t get full “credit” when it implodes.

That is a given. Leftists control writing history and the news media. It will be Republicans’ fault. The evil Tea Party, too!
