I had a very nice Christmas. I was able to buy family and friends nice presents because I am one of the evil rich (as defined by Dimocrats). So in the spirit of the season, I'm gonna repost one of my rants from when I started out called Poverty.
Since my sister expects me to blog at least five times a week and I missed Tuesday and Thursday because of SCUBA, I'm blogging today. But before I begin...
Still no hate mail. I know people hate me, 'cause I got 15 people who rated me 'Hate it' on BlogHop. I also know they're not Cynthia McKinney constituents 'cause most of them can't read or write.
Aha GOC! Caught ya! You said you weren't racist, but there ya go claiming Cynthia McKinney voters can't read and right because they're black!
I said no such thing. I say they can't read or write because many of them are products of the Atlanta public school system. Georgia schools rate somewhere around 47th or 48th in the country (Actually 50th!). The city of Atlanta schools are the worst in the state in spite of spending over $11,000 per pupil! That is outrageous!
Another thing I thought would piss people off came from Wednesday's blog where I said the Palestinians should 'Tell all Their Troubles To Jesus' and that the father of 11 children who sells soft drinks near a school for $2.50 per day should sell the little T-shirts that Palestinian infants wear that say My mother's breast milk is not affected by the (travel) restrictions. Still no hate mail.
So let me try again. How about the father of 11 children selling T-shirts that say My brother blew up a busload of Jews and is now banging 72 virgins and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. I'll put up the seed money and split the profits with him 50/50.
OK. Now on to poverty. I can solve it. I can solve it in one generation. But first, since liberals are so fond of looking at the 'root cause' of something, let's look at the 'root cause' of poverty. The root cause of poverty is children. Look at all the poverty statistics and the largest group in there is children. Now I have said many times that if you are of moderate intelligence and are not hit by catastrophic disease, drug or alcohol addiction (And I believe that these are diseases and should be treated as such. Drug addicts should go to treatment centers and not to prisons), or some sort of catastrophic accident, there is absolutely no excuse for being poor in this country. All you have to do is follow these three simple rules:
It does not take a village to raise a child. It takes two parents to raise a child. It does not take government to raise a child. It takes two parents to raise a child. It does not take my hard earned money to raise your child. It takes your hard earned money and two parents to raise your child.
OK GOC, I guess what you're saying is they're too darned many children. So you're for abortion right?
Nope. Abortion has nothing to do with it. What I am saying is that any woman who wants any government assistance for her and her children must get sterilized. I'm not talking birth control pills here. I'm talking tubal ligation. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone on government assistance having children. I'll pay for your tubal ligation so I won't have to support your rugrats for the next 18 years.
Aha, you racist bastard! Caught ya! You're talking about blacks again!
Nope. I realize that there are more white people than black people on welfare. I'm advocating this for everyone: white, black, Hispanic, Asian, whatever. If you want government assistance, you agree to have no more children and to enforce that agreement you go into the hospital and get your tubes tied. No operation, no money.
But GOC, it's their right to have those children.
And it's my right to tell them to support their own children and don't come knocking at my door whining about being poor. Let me quote sumpin' here:
We the people, of the United States of America,
In order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution,
for the United States of America.
I realize that most people who have been brainwashed indoctrinated educated in our fine government schools over the last twenty years do not recognize the preceeding quote, but it is the preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America. I see absolutely nothing in there about Aid to Families with Dependent Children. I see nothing in there about the ponzi scheme (that in the private sector would be illegal) known as Social Security. I see nothing in there about Medicare or prescription drugs. And I see absolutely nothing in there about poor people having children and expecting me to support them. I didn't get an education and work my butt off so you could stay home, have kids, and watch Oprah.
I realize this sounds like a fascist solution like forced abortions in China, but this is simply requiring people to take responsibility for their own actions, which is, of course, why it will not be implemented. People can have as many kids as they want. If they starve it's not my problem.
We are approaching a meltdown in this country. Currently, 46% of the people in this country pay absolutely no income tax whatsoever. Every tax reform bill removes even more people from the tax roles. The Democrats, with the acquiesence of the Republicans, are moving toward the goal of having 51% of the people paying no income tax at all. And to top it off, the Democrats are trying to cut payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare) for the poor because they didn't get a tax cut last time around. They didn't get an income tax cut because they pay no freaking income tax!
Alexis de Toqueville wrote, The American republic will endure until the politicians find they can bribe the people with their own money. Our politicians are taking this to the next level. They plan on bribing 51% of the people with the money of the other 49%.
It's happening now.
