CONUNDRUM

Hat tip DaveL

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.
  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.
  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?

Dave L just put Conundrum into perspective.

Stucky

Those are conundrums only for people who work.

For the rest, it’s P-A-R-T-Y time, baby!!

Dave L,

You’re still thinking inside the box, exactly where they want you. None of any of this is random. They are working to collapse the USA in ALL aspects so that Americans will embrace a savior, like the Germans did with Hitler.

They are the powers that be, those who are REALLY running the country, the moneyed elite.

If you were a pedophile and a billionaire, you could get any fucking thing you wanted, whenever and as much as you wanted. THOUSANDS of kids, boys and girls, go missing each year. Few are ever found.

Think about how sick and evil that is.

Those are the kinds of people that are running every fucking thing you know and every fucking thing you THINK you know is WRONG.

In the age of the Internet, if you find these things a conundrum, then you’re not paying attention, you’re not spending the time to ferret out the truth of things.

Obama has turned our coutry into socialism. Pretty simple. And the $10 trillion in debt he’s pissed away on the FSA.

AWD , why don’t you set up shop in the Bahamas. Good weather and most of your earnings would be taxed at 10-20 %.I have a friend and his father works 6 months here and 6 months in the Bahamas . His father has been doing this for 12 years and he loves it.Best of all the Europeans pay with cash.
I hope that doesn’t make your blood boil.

None of these are conundrums if you think for 3 seconds:

1. America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.
Capitalist principles are not in practice in today’s America, so socialist policies have to be
put in place to keep the “underserved” in check and appeased.

2. Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.
They ARE victims–of an economy that doesn’t allow them prosperity due to poor government planning and lack of economic control (Federal Reserve can’t manage anything)

3. They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.
Most of these “victims” probably don’t vote, so government are not “their” representatives. That’s no excuse for them, just the way it is.

4. Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.
This one is too easy…their “representatives” don’t give a flying fuck about them, and only care about getting campaign donations from corporations and banks.

5. The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
The poor in America don’t compare their lifestyles with people in other countries–only with the American lifestyles they watch on TV.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
(What is the basis for this assertion? Who wants to be like those other countries? Show examples.)

After working for nearly 25 years, I was rendered totally disabled by brain surgery. I had never earned a dime that I didn’t pay Social Security taxes on, so I had paid into the system and the benefits, according to the Social Security Act of 1935, was also to provide for individuals, who were unable to work.

Well, a supporter of all the stupidity being wrought by the Obama Administration, including Welfare Reform (basically, that changes welfare so anyone, who doesn’t WANT to work, can get handouts from the government) demands that it also includes the disabled, who don’t work.

I beg to differ, though. I would return to work in a minute, if it were possible. It’s not, so I have to rely upon what was taken out of my paychecks – for insurance.

There’s a difference between bums and people, who want to but cannot work!
