You have got to be kidding - right.

Let me ask you this:  Who is responsible for ~your~ economic welfare?

If you aren't still attached to your mamma's apron strings, that'd be 
~~YOU~~.

If that holds true for every adult in this country (ie: the improbable 
concept of individual responsibility) then how can someone else be 
responsible for the economic welfare of the entire country?

This country isn't a piece of dirt, it's the total sum of individuals.  OUR 
actions carry more weight than any single or combined policy that any 
government can ever throw down.

To believe otherwise is to believe that, and act like, you are a puppet on a 
string.  Are you?

What's scarier is that you don't believe you have control over you.

What do you think the economy IS exactly?  It's the combined actions (buying 
and selling) of people like ~~you~~.

You, and all the "yous" like you are the economy.  Who's leading you?  More 
to the point, whose lead are you following?




> Whatever happened to "We the people"?


Don't know, what'd you do with it.
