Wimpy's Dilemma

    I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today! Remember
that? That was Wimpy's stock statement in the old Popeye comic strip.
That statement comically represented the departure we, as a people,
took from a balanced relationship with one another. A value for value,
quid pro quo relationship was replaced with value demanded in exchange
for the promise of a value, or a performance in return. 

   This is how our world has gotten to be where and what it is today. 
Government requires direct payment in the form of taxes and additional

other administrative fees in return for the promise of future
performance. When the public attempts to hold government accountable
when such future performances are not delivered, government boldly
turns the table on the public by pleading inadequacy in staffing or
some other excuse designed to extract more money through additional
taxes or user fees. 

   Have you not heard the plaintive wail of the politician, along with

any number of department heads, when questioned about the lack of 
promised services? Oh, if we had more of a budget, more manpower, 
more facilities, more equipment, more this, more that, we could solve 
the problem at hand.

   Remember, those who control the money and determine the cost of
services rendered, take the position of master in a relationship of
slavery. This has been the nature of all civilized societies since the
beginning of time.

   All societies are exclusive clubs which are complex structures
obscuring the simple relationship of the leaders and the led . A small
number of men, through tactics of mind control and fear, control vast
numbers of people without whose energy, through taxes and tithing,
their overt and often covert agendas could not be carried out. Raising
taxes to ensure services is not the answer. Nothing will ever change
until government can be held accountable for how they spend our money.
Until then, they maintain their unique status as being the only
business structure being rewarded for not doing its job. 

    If  our minds can be manipulated to where we are controlled so
that words become the substitute for action, forcing us to comply
through the implied threat that accompanies such nonperformance, we
have stopped being reasonable with each other and the violence of
exploitation rears its ugly head. A society that functions at that
level cannot continue for long. Think about it!
