See above an interesting pie chart of the 2007 US federal budget.

First the most shocking thing depicted on this chart, that our fucking government in this "desperate Bush economy", somehow managed to pilfer a staggering TWO POINT EIGHT FIVE TRILLION dollars out of it's citizens and business owners. Try for one minute to wrap your brain around that number.


That number represents THE ENTIRE GDP OF FRANCE.
siteresources.worldbank.org . . .

The Federal government in 2007 employed by their count 2,671,000 civilian employees.
www.opm.gov . . .

France on the other hand, has a population of 62,000,000.
www.prb.org . . .

2.7 million federal employees spend on government functions more than 62,000,000 Frenchmen produce in a year!


Second, if you can try to imagine it. Fully 58% of TWO POINT EIGHT FIVE TRILLION dollars goes to WELFARE! ONE POINT SIX FIVE THREE TRILLION dollars for WELFARE, and that's before the states get involved.

That's more than $5500.00US from every man, woman, and child in the United States, every year, for WELFARE! But of course, there aren't $5500.00US checks going out each year to 300 million Americans. Oh no, not in the least.

Why did I post this? It's a simple question.

Are we Americans to believe that our birthright is to inherit the most prodigious welfare state the Earth has ever known? Is this the land of opportunity to make something of yourself, or to be enslaved on Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama's plantation?

Are we Americans also to believe that after spending $1.653 trillion dollars in a year, we aren't doing enough? That we need to reach deeper for more?

Can you imagine, that if each child in this nation were allowed to keep the $5500.00US and invest it over 50 years, what they would have saved? There would be no need for government largess.

All this other political bullshit aside, there is no more important thing that you will be voting for in 3 weeks. This government is not sustainable, and it needs to be cut down to size.

And who is more likely to do that?

With that said, this will be my last post on ff for awhile. I have other things coming up that need attention in life. I wish you bastards good fortunes, good hunting, and good luck. Hopefully get to see some of you in chat sometimes.

Great post KOP, come back soon mein freund.

Good luck to you too,

Hope all is good, KOP, and that we see you soon. Via con Dios, amigo.

See you US. Come back soon.

K+

Boa sorte! Godspeed and hurry back, safe and sound!

Punish the talented and successful. That is the Roosevelt/Democrapic legacy.

When you're Wall Street and corporate America, no gift from the taxpapers is ever big enough.

Which is on it's face a blemish. However W&C, this happens EVERY FUCKING YEAR, regardless of war or no war. Regardless of income or expenditure. Every year, more than half of almost 3 trillion dollars on WELFARE! Not in the one year that some illegal bailouts occur.

Brother, can YOU spare a dime?

WilyB loves to look at pie charts.

so if your filthy fucking rich, and fuck up big time. You get to take tax payer monies and go to the spay for a day.



And if your dirt poor and don't want to work, the tax payer gets to buy you steak and eggs and put a roof over you head.


but if your somewhere in the middle ya have to pay for your own day at the spa and buy your own steak and eggs.



I guess all I gotta do is learn to lie,cheat and, steal. And not do an actual work ( neither rich or poor do any work ). That way I'd be in one of those two groups that is too busy fucking the middle.

That's the way I read the tea leaves Boo. Once again the American middle class is soon to be under assault. Barack can lie all he wants, but mark my words. Everyone's taxes are going UP!!!

My difference between 1992 and 2008, almost $5000,00US. There is no assclown that can come on this thread and argue otherwise, I have the IRS documents to prove otherwise.

Obama = Wealth Redistribution = Communism.

Too bad we can't cast a vote of " no confidence " in our leaders and have them all booted out of office. All they do is take, fuck up, and LIE. We all would beat our kids asses for the same shit they are pulling. but we put more of their kind in office.

So very astute Boo. There is no way out in our society other than civil insurrection. No one matters anymore. i will never give the eggplant 1 dollar.

Fuck the left, Civil War II is on.

That plumber from Toledo, Ohio who was brave enough to ask Obonga why he wanted to raise his taxes should be a lightning rod for the country. More balls than McCain has shown of late.

Sarah Palin's husband and this guy should get together and tour the country on behalf of our need to save the nation from itself.
