Duck or Get Hit: Money does not grow on trees
Duck or Get Hit
Money really does not grow on trees
J. E. Wilson
The United States Government, and I mean every part of the government, lives in a fantasyland where they truly believe money grows on trees. Congress is picking bushels of it and munching away at the taxpayer’s pockets. The harder our citizens’ work the more the officials spend.
President Bush views this nation as his own personal orchard and is reaping the rewards of its growth at the expense of all us. Congress has picked from these same trees and what have they done? They addressed the steroids used by multi-million dollar baseball players. Congress and others in office are to blatantly stupid to create a national healthcare system or stop funneling billions into a war that cannot be won on either of the two fronts we are battling now.
All we need to do is pick up a newspaper to see that those we, supposedly, elected have our best interests in mind. They have their interests in mind and want our tax dollars to make them reality.
Somewhere, USA uses pork-belly dollars to build a two million dollar water fountain, while the county has 70% unemployment. Another town builds a new courthouse and a local government office building, but did not fund programs to help educate and support one of the poorest counties in New York State. One single trial happening today in Nevada has cost the taxpayer $2 million dollars already and it’s a second go at this man.
This is suppose to be a nation of freedom, justice, and equality yet those who make laws, taxes, and control our freedoms see only one thing. They are smiling and waiting for their trees to prosper and then pick us clean.
The working class is simply a money tree growing for the government to pick at on a whim. Americans are a source for causes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the political water fountains across America.
We have been tossed out of our homes, 401k’s chopped down, and government still wants to crush us with bailouts that save the rich and their own investments. This nation has been picked dry and we are on the verge of being cut down one final time.
