Popular Post Rob Posted May 12, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2012 You decide on November 6, 2012:Best explanation of what is happening in America that I have heard! Please pass this on. It may actually make folks think!CAN THE USA SURVIVE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING?The folks who are getting 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 to 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.Thomas Jefferson said it best: "The democracy (Republic) will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."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 On Nov 6 th , 2012 . Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.ELECTION 2012 IS COMINGA Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! Let's take a stand!!!Obama : Gone!Borders : Closed!Language : English onlyCulture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!Drug Free : Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!NO freebies to : Non-Citizens!We the people are coming ------------------------------------ "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". -- Margaret Thatcher 5 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

hatcity Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I totally agree Rob. The only caveat is that there are so many getting FREE SHIT and vote, they will just be looking for more and vote accordingly.Meebe we should just shoot them. OOPS, I didn't say that 2 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25070-sums-it-up/#findComment-118935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Not only the "free stuff" people but the entitled ones... don't know if this goes on everywhere, but here on L.I. it is school budget time. 70 to 78% goes to teachers salaries, medical and retirement. They need a 12% raise because they only got a 7% last year and a 8% the year before. "It's only fair" the teachers union says. I had to cut my pay to keep fuel in my equipment and keep my crew. There for I must offer mydeepest regrets Mr Obama and to the people getting free stuff. but I can no longer afford you. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25070-sums-it-up/#findComment-118946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The union workers at WM in Broward County wanted 10% each year for a three year contract.Started talking going on strike. When they saw the line of people at the door for job applications the next day,they felt that 3% wasn't that bad.

HeavyGunner Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 We have had a full time job opening (with bennies, 401k, vision, dental, health) for 3 to 4 months now and have had only a convict who had none of the requirements needed for the job apply thru his probation officers office simply because he had too. Economy cant be that bad if no one even applies for job opening with bennies.

Most people want big bucks with minimal work and surely no manual labor!

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Best answer was on Obama Joke of The Day. Our recovery starts when Obama loses his job.I still cannot comprehend how he has so many followers when good jobs are scarce and plants still closing. Joe D.

Freightrain Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Finally after TEN years, I got a 3% raise this past week. Whew....here I thought no one cared?? My last "raise" basically was the owner telling me that I can work for 35 hrs/wk and get paid for 40hr/wk. Ya, in their eyes, I got a raise(cost/hour). Me?? Well, didn't help a dam thing, but an extra 15 minutes of sleep in the morning. Ya, that helped pay the bills...... not .Not sure where I'm going to spend the extra $60(take home) each month???? Taxes(that doubled), fuel(that tripled), food(that doubled), utilites(that doubled)..................................... Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Most people want big bucks with minimal work and surely no manual labor!That's probably way more true than most people would like to admit. Probably doesnt help that people that provide nothing for society (singers, actors, sports players, kardashians, hiltons etc,) make a zillion dollars simply because they exist. Why work when you can do absolutely nothing and get endorsments for it? 3 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.

theakerstwo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I am not knocking the Unions but all of us cannt belong to a union.Can we? But what gets me some times is a job that i haul rock into sometimes has one man to direct you into the job yard and turn you around and start to get you backing up then he hands you off to nother man that wants to stand on the right side of your truck behind you and direct you on in to the dump site. If one is not there i dont think you will get unloaded because one told us its not his job to walk you all the way to the back. I am sure this is a union job.
