Conundrum

Conundrum

Email I received today. Seems appropriate considering the happenings in Ferguson.

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. How come 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.

  1. And don’t forget all the foreign aid to all those countries that hate us. That money never seems to run out, does it.

    1. Scottie – The money should stop now. Throwing money at a problem does not fix it, just like a teenager when the money is wasted and gone they are back with their hands out.
