Popular Post Olivetroad Posted March 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2012 The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that. In 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.ELECTION 2012 IS COMING A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23622-free-stuff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueknight0517@yahoo.com Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't see where he said anything about a democracy. The Term he use to idenify the United States was Republic. Do you know the difference? 2 Quote Rustednut Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23622-free-stuff/#findComment-105604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bollweevil Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Really??????Do you really think democracy is that simple? No, It's concept is neither simple or viable, Our founding fathers knew. from history that it was not workable, and that it would not last. And they purposely avoided the concept. That is why they gave us a Constitutional Republic. Our Federal Government is required by law to guarantee each individual State a Republican form of Government. Article 4 section 4. Look it up 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23622-free-stuff/#findComment-105612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Really??????Do you really think democracy is that simple?Yeah democracy in it's simplest form is that easy. Rights right and wrongs wrong end of story. 2 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Olivetroad Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Really??????Do you really think democracy is that simple?Very little is simple when dealing with a Government that has over extended its reach as far as ours has. One thing that is simple, and cannot be denied, is that the government is spending way more than it has. Just the amount we pay out in interest on the national debt is unsustainable. All of the economic charts show that we are headed for a big "correction" because of all the debt we regularly add to pay for programs and the interest we owe for the use of that money that is not ours. Sure, in a simple world, we would love to help all the Grandmas get a free hip replacement, and all of us to have a larger Social Security check each month, stronger defense, free school lunches, better highways, extended unemployment benefits, etc, etc, etc, but at some point, we just don't have the money to pay for the free stuff the government gives out. Each program, when taken as an individual item, how can you not support it ? - they are generally all good things. But that does not change the fact that we just don't have the money to pay for them all at the levels we are at right now.Too much outgo, with not enough income to sustain it. We are not that different from Greece. If our society is ever able to wrap its head around the sheer volume of the debt versus our ability to pay it back, the house of cards will fall apart and NO ONE can bail out the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23622-free-stuff/#findComment-105714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
