Social Responsibility Begins With Fiscal Responsibility
Social responsibility is measured by how a country takes care of its people, especially the poor and unfortunate. The decisions on how and where to fund social responsibility comes from your elected officials in Washington. I say your because I didn’t vote for any of those gargoyles. The burden of funding social responsibility falls on the american public. Nearly every american has invested in their retirement by paying into social security. The government doesn’t ask for the money. They simply take it out of your paycheck along with a buffet of other taxes. You are under the assumption that some day your invested money will be given back to you when you retire so that you may live like a normal human being.
The government has been siphoning off social security money for years. They need it to cover the difference in the income taxes taken out of your salary and the sales tax you pay every time you make a purchase. You would think that it would be enough. With politicians spending money like…well, politicians it will never be enough. How obnoxious is it for our government to tell us to “tighten our belts” and change our spending habits when they are spending money they don’t have? Our current national debt is $14,151,455,696,288. Our estimated current population is 309,940,535. So each citizen’s share of this debt is $45,397.13.
It’s astonishing that it has become this bad. The united states government has become addicted to spending…our money. They are spending junkies that can not stop themselves and they are growing in size. Bigger government telling american citizens what is good for us while at the same time doing the very opposite. It is hypocrisy at the highest level.
In June President Obama pledged 400 million in aid to the Gaza Strip which is run by Hamas, a terrorist organization that preaches hatred and contempt for the West, annihilation of Israel and its Jewish inhabitants, demonization of the Jews, and a cynical form of indoctrination that aims to turn children into future suicide bombers. Thats cool since a lot of the aid money will go to build new schools to preach hatred to even younger children. How many pounds of C4 do you think fits in a lunch box?
Americans are out of work, out of money, and running out of time. Unemployment benefits are running out on a lot of people soon. How long do you think it will be before crime increases? Municipalities across the country are laying off cops in alarming numbers to help ease the burden of their own budget crisis. State aid is gone and Washington isn’t bailing out any states or towns that are going under. That priveledge is only for auto makers, banks, and mortgage companies. Its horrific to see the United States government cannabalize its own people.
The bottom line here folks is that 99% of our politicians suck and the few good ones can’t get shit done because they are a minority amongst self-serving ego-driven prius-driving ass-kissing douche bags.
