Connect The Dots…

Are you curious about the decisions that are being made by our politicians and the events that are happening in today’s world?  Are you concerned about what happens outside the 5 mile radius of the bubble you live in?  If not… then I would suggest that you continue to live your contained simplistic life and check to see who was recently drafted on your favorite “ball team” or who will be appearing on “Dancing with the Stars” this season…and read no further.

For those who are curious about the future of our Country…and the affect that it may have on your way of life… maybe it’s time to look at history.  History is one of the best tools to indicate or provide direction of our Country’s future.

I’m not asking you to listen to the politicians of today from either major party…who are continuously fighting for control of what they perceive to be their domain…where pandering, lying, and self-preservation has become (if not always) more importance than the future of our Country.

When I was a young man I received my national news via television or the local newspaper.  The news cast was 30 minutes anchored by either Huntley and Brinkley or Walter Cronkite.  I listen to what they reported…had no reason to doubt it…and then went about my simplistic life until they fed me what they thought I should know the next day.

It was a time when you were told by your parents if you work hard and apply yourself you could be successful in life (the meaning of the word successful is a topic for another day).  That advice has prevailed and produced different levels of comfort zones for many people through the years.  It was also a time when changes were put in place to correct the injustices and separation of American citizens that had prevailed for so long…a time to bring into play the equality that was provided in the words of our constitution…opportunity for all of its citizens. Opportunity is the keyword…do not get the words “opportunity” and “fairness” confused.  Life is not fair…get over it.

Let’s focus on the words “If you work hard and apply yourself you could achieve success in life”. There are no guarantees…because life isn’t always fair…but this has been the prevailing concept of my generation and the generation before me…this has been the history that has created the greatness of our County.

Look at the direction of the past and connect it to the direction of the future…is it continuing on the same path…can you “connect the dots”?  I don’t think so.

Below are sources that I would encourage you to view and digest in order to help provide you with your own answer to this question…can you connect the dots?

Public Servants…..or…. Expensive Welfare Recipients?

I received this in 2008…and it hasn’t gotten better…

SOCIAL SECURITY: 

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congress women do not pay into Social Security and of course, they do not collect from it.  You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for
persons of their rare elevation in society.  They felt they should have a special
plan for themselves So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.  Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00.  NADA!!! ZILCH!!!
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You
and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan
come directly from the General Funds;   “OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK”!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by your employer).

Public Servants…..or…. Expensive Welfare Recipients?

LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON “PEOPLE POWER” AND
THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

INSIST THAT THEY PASS A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY

Socialism At It’s Best…

 Apparently NO ONE IS LISTENING…

Adrian Rogers was given credit for having said the words below  in 1931…

  “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

 What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

 The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.  

 When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,

 and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,

 that, my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.    You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. “*
