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!
I must agree with Silverfiddle, definitely over and beyond the top!
Great post, btw.
Oh, man...you got to this idea before me. I hate you. :)
Funny
I agree with Silverfiddle not to mention this inarguable point you made here..
"Very soon, tax-suckers will outnumber tax payers."
I wish I could take credit, but this is the handiwork of my buddy Hugh. I'm not that creative.
