Did Too Much Freedom Lead To This Mess?

Even while we are still reeling from the events of the last few months, we are now becoming prey to Urban Legends!
To be blunt the chances of the American people being rescued on the same level as the banks are none and zero.
Yet something within us want to believe that Justice is more than just a slogin.
So for those of you who still think that nothing bad could happen to you because you do the right things,
the right way, I invite you to have a long conversation with someone just released from Prison by DNA.
Or if that isn't to your taste, consider the words of International Star and timeless philosopher, Jackie Chan,
who said " if we weren't controlled, we would do what we want". How could anyone argue with that flawless logic?

Not Stepping Up To The Plate Is Like Striking Out

We are finding things to be going along better than can be expected under the circumstances.
The world is hanging by a thread but it is still hanging. If only more of our Congress members were
forth coming in answers to this mess we've made over decades. Of cource they as well as the Obama
administration will have to "get it" first. The founders of America had greater vision then those now seated in Washington.
Paying taxes is not "dumb", it is what makes this thing work at all. When people aquire wealth they create a vaccum in the economy.
Taxes must be paid, and more taxes paid by those with the most money, in order for the services we have become used to. What if you need a cop, or your house is burning. What if there is another earthquake, or flood, or tornado, or any other emergency.
This is basic ebb and flow. If everything goes out, to the wealthy, yet not enough comes in, taxes, it is only a question of time before the system comes apart.
By definition the poor don't have the money to pay taxes. Because the wealthy took control of it. If greedy fools continue to run America's economy into the ground
siphoning off too much wealth, the only choices are to dissolve the government, or give government ALL POWER.
And that means giving up ALL FREEDOMS, and ALL LIBERTIES! Once the American System is broken it will be
too late to try and "VOTE" on what happens next. Game Over. We Lose! Stop being stupid and excercise self control!
