Six Conundrums 

• 1. America is called capitalist and greedy – but half the population is subsidized
•  2. Half the population are subsidized – but they consider themselves victims
•  3. They believe they are being victimized – but their representatives in Congress run the government
• 4. Representatives in Congress run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer
• 5. The poor keep getting poorer – but they have things that people in many other countries can only dream about
• 6. They have things that people in other countries can only dream about – yet they want the US to be more like those other countries So who’s doing the freakin math here!

And a couple more things: 

• 1. We’re cautioned NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we’re encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
• 2. We’re regularly warned that Social Security is running out of money. But Welfare and Food Stamps seem to be a bottomless pit of money.
• 3. We’re cutting benefits for veterans and raises for military. We’re downsizing our army and naval forces to levels lower than before WWII. BUT . . . we’re not stopping payments or benefits to illegal aliens. Who the hell is in charge here!!
