bullshit, to your bullshit... that is the prevailing attitude. Doesn't matter if someone wants their mortgage paid, or subsidized, or their health care paid for, or food stamps, or whatever - the genie is out of the bottle. The mob clamours, the ruling elite demagogue it, and raid the public treasury. It's not that complicated.Originally Posted by falco
It's what the mob does... and it will only get worse. Rome, Greece, Lycia, et al... every democracy in history - EVERY ONE - went this same way, MOBACRACY. Just b/c the majority of the mob aren't as far gone as that idiot, doesn't mean that the sentiment isn't a prevailing one. I put Aunt Ida on Social Security and Medicare in the same boat as that pig of woman at the rally.
You see those commericals for the "Scooter Store"... "... if you qualify, you pay nothing, it's free... Medicare picks up the tab"... blah, blah, blah. It's not free to someone else - that someone else is me, the taxpayer. Aunt Ida had her money stolen from her long ago, and now she's turning a blind eye to the fact that she's taking loot stolen from her grandchildren by the government. She's just as corrupt and dishonest as that woman in the video. They are the mob.
