Soul searching

Yeah it's been a while. But no one reads my blog, so who cares?

You know, I've done a lot of soul searching lately. For most of my life I've been a dedicated agnostic. I've been comfortable with that spiritual diagnosis of myself. But lately I've begun to believe there's truly no god. Even a lassez-faire god would not have allowed Obama to run the country into the ground. True all Empires rise and fall, but America has collapsed in a way that makes Hitler's empire look stable by comparison.

Let's look at some history. We talk of the 'Dark Ages' (or Late Antiquity) as a time of horrible ignorance, superstition and misery. We haven't really come very far have we? The masses are all ignorant morons. The mob is too stupid to think for itself beyond its own selfish needs. Yet, we cater to them since there are so DAMN many of them. Because they are votes. This isn't equality. Not everyone is equal. We should mandate a minimum level of education for voters. At least a 2 year college degree, if not 4. That would keep the dumbasses who just want a handout from the Feds from voting in the bastards who will give it to them. It will also inspire an increase in the number of educated people, or it should. And the direction of this country (and the world) will move forward in a civilized and RATIONAL manner. (Not to mention, had this been in place last year that dipshit Obama would NEVER have been elected.

This is the problem with letting everyone who can sign their name vote. Demagogues are BAD. Ancient Rome should us that. Revolutionary France as well. Mob rule is not RULE, it's anarchy. The mob in America has to be the worst mass in the history of the world. Not only are they ignorant, and selfish, but lazy and greedy as well. Stupid bastards are killing America.

We could also fix this problem by doing all the important work in Latin rather than English. That way the morons wouldn't know what we were talking about and would not be able to turn America into the worst kind of welfare state.

See, here's the problem with all this. It's a horrible downward spiral. Provide handouts to the lazy in such a way as to make it better for them to not work. This increases the tax burden for the rest of us. The more we're taxed, the less we have to provide for ourselves, and the more people have to fall back on welfare. Which increases the tax burden on the rest of us even more. See where I'm heading here? Why can't the assholes in Washington see this? Because it keeps getting them elected, that's why. Right now, the tax burden for someone making $50K a year is 33%. So, 33 cents of every dollar made goes to pay some lazy son of a bitch to stay home and do nothing. (More or less.) So, at $50K, the worker brings home 33,500 of that $50K. And $16,500 pays for someone else. That is HALF of the take home pay of that worker. HALF. Are you kidding me?

So, over 2 years, that worker, well educated (to work at a job making $50K/yr) hands over to the Federal government (and state) 1 years salary. Is that FAIR? Hell no. What does he get in return? Nothing. He pays his bills without help from the government. What value is there for his $16,500/year? None. Zero.

And this is mob rule for you. Now, imagine if Obama gets his health care reform. To go along with the 2 TRILLION he's already spent in his first 6+ months in office. The interest on the money he's spent in office is $100 Million a DAY. A day. It boggles the mind. Where will the money come from to pay it off? What he should have done is cut taxes, cut spending and give the working people a break. Not spend more and make it harder on the working class. It's bad enough trying to pay our bills now.

I'm sick of that man's bullshit. Someone needs to take him out. Take all of Congress out. They are out of touch. Were they ever in touch? Probably not.
