Not that anyone will be surprised by more revelations of massive government waste and corruption here in the good old US of A, but perhaps some light shed on individual cases might wake some tax payers from their sports and Dancing with The Stars-induced comas.
Want to know what’s happening with YOUR money? You know, that money that is most cases sucked right out of your paycheck before you even get to touch it. Pretty clever on Big Brother’s part with that one by the way, eh? Bully employers into deducting the tax money right from employee payments so they never actually feel the pain of handing it over the Uncle Sam. I suspect that there would be a lot more complaining, and perhaps even some action if most folks actually had to write a check to the government every April.
Getting back to our story, I’d like you to revel in a little dose of reality if you think you can handle it. I know living with your head in the sand seems to be the way to go. After all, all your friends do it, right? Why rock the boat? Nobody wants to rock to boat. Hey, the big game is on this weekend! Get to the store and grab a six-pack and a bunch of genetically modified snacks and other processed food poison! Don’t forget to pop your prescription medication before the game to keep your blood pressure under control!
If you have any interest at all in what’s really going on, have a peek at THIS. By the way, the Washington Post is known for their left-leaning tendencies and praise for socialists like Obama, so if they’re alarmed by this, it must be something worth being alarmed about.
Get off your fat ass and do something about it. For those of you that are, I applaud you. For those of you that aren’t, well, the Founding Fathers would be ashamed of you. That may not sound like anything to beat yourself up over, but when you consider that the Founders were the ones that made it possible for you to enjoy the lifestyle that so many of us enjoy in this country and thereby allow you to sit on your ass all weekend watching sports or other crap on the idiot box, maybe it will mean a bit more to you.
Get used to hearing this if you have the stomach to come here and read what I write: Wake up!
