Just received this and it makes you wonder....

Free people are not equal.

Equal people are not free.

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 illegal aliens.

Am I the only one missing something?:huh::whaa:

I'm constantly reminded of this "inequality" whenever I visit a Walmart at the beginning of the month. I stand in line at the checkout and watch people whipping 2, 3, 4 EBT cards and paying for things that they are not supposed to. Seriously want to get incensed? Visit Walmart then or right before Christmas. It's amazing what EBT cards can buy nowadays. The kicker is when I realize that of the taxes I myself am paying, I am buying everyone else's food in addition to the few things I bought for myself. These are people with obesity problems, spending it like drunken sailors. In the end we are going to be paying for their diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. It's a wonderful society we have created for ourselves. Sometimes I feel like I am that horse from Vonneguts' animal farm, doing all the heavy lifting until I get old and it's time to ship me off to the glue factory.
