Everyday, I become more and more disgusted with the people living among us calling themselves revolutionists. These mobs of revolutionists (protesters) are nothing more than a bunch of brain-washed, under-educated, and under-experienced college students following the directions of their liberal professors whom have no idea what the real world is really about. These professors need to be fired so that they have to learn how to earn their own way in this world. Unfortunately, most of them have tenure and have to do something outside the ethics or rules of the school they teach at to be terminated. Think about it, these people are educating our future generations. God help us.
When it comes to the protesters themselves, what are they griping about? Sometimes I can't tell. What they are spouting out seems like a bunch of incoherent rambling. Some are mad at the corporations for making record profits while laying off hundreds, even thousands. Some are mad about the over the top government spending. Others are there just to smoke dope, twitter on their I-pads, and act like asses. With all of that said, I feel the need to break all of this down so as to hopefully understand why these people are so angry. Now, when it comes to the corporations making huge profits while laying off thousands, I have a logical explanation. Now, I do understand that there are those of us who will call this horse crap, but that doesn't mean that I'm not right. So, let's take a look at this. Let's pretend that there is a lady named Linda who wants to open up and run her own candle business. Through the past years, she has worked for a candle company and has become very good at making and selling candles. So, she saves her money and starts buying the necessary equipment and supplies for her business venture. After several months of saving and gathering the needed supplies, Linda resigns her position at her job and dives into building and marketing her company. At first, business is really slow due to her company not being known about by the consumers, but business eventually picks up and word of her great products and craftsmanship spreads throughout the community. Now, to put things into monetary perspective, she is selling her candles at $10 each and is selling 100 per month equaling $1000. As business builds, Linda finds that she is now selling approximately $5000 per month and is quickly becoming overworked and unable to spend much time with her family. She finds herself needing help and hires three other ladies with like talents and interests. This helps Linda to triple her business and earnings. She pays them $10 per hour each. With payroll coming close to $4500 a month and her supplies coming close to $6000 a month, that leaves around $4500 as profit. Not bad, some of you might say. But wait. Now Uncle Sam and the state come knocking. The state usually takes just the sales tax which Linda collects on every sale. Not a big deal, but Uncle Sam is another issue. After eveything is all said and done, Linda walks away with something in the area of $3000. Now keep in mind, this is all based upon Linda paying her employees as contract labor and not having to pay their half of certain federal entitlement taxes. If they were full employees, her final profits would be much less.
So, with Linda clicking along bringing her approximately 20% profit in every month, life is good. The company is solvent and ready to expand. But wait! Uncle Sam comes along and raises taxes. Linda starts seeing this cut her profits down close to 14% and starts trying to figure out how to cut costs to help bring it back up. She tries buying cheaper supplies, but finds that her products are not up to the quality that she has set as her standard for her business. As much as it hurts, she has to lay someone off. In doing so, she does find the profits to start rising, even to the point of gaining a few percentage points. Does this make Linda a bad person? Some may say it does. Some may say she has become greedy. The problem is, these people who criticize people like Linda haven't taken that plunge into owning and running their own business. They have no idea of what Linda has gone through in the building and running her business. Maybe these people should try owning and running a business. I beleive that if they were to, they'd think and feel differently.
When it comes to their complaints about the massive overspending of the government, I say AMEN! I'm with them on that one. There are so many areas that we, as a country, could cut spending. Myself, I would start with payments to foreign countries. I have never understood why we give multi-millions of dollars to countries who hate and attack us. I beleive if we are going to send these people money, it needs to be taped to a 10 ton nuclear warhead. I would call that money well spent. Another cost that I would cut would be our polititions' pay and benefits. I don't mind helping them pay for their health insurance while they are in office, but it should cancel the minute they are voted out of office. Spending money to protect Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Etc and their families is wasted money. Who would want to kidnap those idiots? There are even some countries who owe us. COLLECT! If they don't pay, occupy their country. Hell, send these protestors. They will pay us just to get these smelly, disgusting free-loaders out of their country. There are so many areas where money could be saved, but we need individuals in Washington that want to take the steps to move on doing so.
I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of government. I do know that the corruption is wide-spread throughout it though. When are we going to elect an individual who is truly going to lead us out of this tyranny? When are we going to stop voting in people just because they look good or they speak elligantly? Fellow Americans, we are our country's last line of defense. If we are going to continue to be a free country, we must stand together now and let our voices be heard. Look around! Our enemies are. These protestors are not our friends. They are free-loading bumbs who want to feed off of your's and my hard-earned paycheck. BE BOLD! Stand toe to toe with them and let them know that this stops here and now. God Bless.
