OT: Government Caused The Current Recession

....socialism, here we come

Political Philosophies are explained using two cows

Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one, but must
give the other to your neighbour.

Communism: You have two cows. The government takes
both and provides you with milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes
both and sells you the milk.

Bureaucracy: You have two cows. The government
takes them, shoots one, milks the other, pays you
for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.

Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government
takes both, then shoots you.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy
a bull.

Democracy: You have two cows. The government taxes
you to the point that you must sell them both to
support a man in a foreign country who has only one
cow, which was a gift from your own government.

Corporation: You have two cows. You lay one off,
force the other to produce the milk of four cows, then
act surprised when it drops dead.

California: You have two cows. The state tells you how
to milk your cows, when to milk your cows, how much to
milk your cows and the most that you can charge for the
milk. You go broke and sell the cows. The state calls you
greedy and blames you for the current milk shortage.

Avoid Debt. Those holding your debt exert influence and control over you. This is true on an individual and a national level.

There goes the home and car industry and all credit card purchases.

3. Keep Government Small. A strong dog is loyal, friendly and good for home defense. A strong lion is not.

THere goes the clean water, clean air,social security,public education,national defense,medicare,medicaid and a host of other protections and services offered by the federal government. You are going to have to buy your cpap equipment.


4. Stop Pointing Fingers. Stop lobbying, stop picketing, stop telling others what they should do.

There goes the first amendment and the second.

Ok pam...be a good socialist and give me one of your cows.

What clean water; what clean air? Social Security should be privatized anyway. Public education is a joke. National Defense is already going downhill. Don't get me started on welfare!!

1. Read the Constitution. Its an elegant, brilliant document. American's today pay it lip service but do not live by it.

2. Avoid Debt. Those holding your debt exert influence and control over you. This is true on an individual and a national level.

4. Stop Pointing Fingers. Stop lobbying, stop picketing, stop telling others what they should do. Be the change you want to see in the world.

5. Live Within Your Means. If you want to compromise 1-4 for short term gain, know that you do it at the expense of your nation and probably also your family.

Notice who ranks just below George Bush as the top vote getter...none other than the consumer. Mr Government doesn't appear on the list...there are some that work or have worked in government on the list...but no "government".

Do you think I "accused" you of being a "liberal". If you check my posts you will see this word was not used. Do you have some type of guilt that causes a knee-jerk reaction?

I use the word "liberal" very sparingly and on the rare occasion I do use it, it is a compliment. Unfortunately there is a large group of people referring to themselves as "liberals" but acting nothing like liberal - they want to use government force to implement their personal agenda.

Start reading some things besides Time magazine.

Governments are responsible for the slaughter of 300 million humans in the last century. Governments are responsible for the current recession.

Get rid of that left-leaning, touchy-feely, collective guilt
