A Modern Day "Modest Proposal"
With each new Trillion dollar bailout and public give-away, lots of us taxpayers are getting uncomfortable. We used to see ourselves as productive citizens; now we wonder if we are being looked at as mere monetary food. Someone has to pay off this massive debt!This is what cannibalism is at its core: societal self-consumption. In this case, national self-consumption. Very soon, tax-suckers will outnumber tax payers. What's worse, those on the dole have a powerful entitlement mindset about your wallet. It's stealing with a muscular middleman.
Imagine a FEMA pamphlet from the future that illustrates this concept. And oh, by the way, it seems that life sometimes reflects art!

You are over the top, Hugh!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Silverfiddle not to mention this inarguable point you made here..

I wish I could take credit, but this is the handiwork of my buddy Hugh. I'm not that creative.
