@GuntherEagleman Where is the outrage from the Left? Billionaires clogging up streets, causing security concerns, using tax payer money to feed their Egos? ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
"Free Corn!
A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange
students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the
Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his
back, and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student
told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while
fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow
his country's government and install a new communist government In the
midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange
question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The
young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a
suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs
find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they
are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the
place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence,
they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the
fence.
They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you
have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The
pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate
to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and
around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to
eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten
how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their
captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees
happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward
socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of
programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income,
tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP),
welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms
- just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch!
A politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can
do it yourself.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you
will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams
shut!
