Our Government

Many years ago, probably before the dinosaurs were extinct, I was in high school at Pickens County High, Reform, Alabama…At that time, I was taught that we had government because we needed them to do those things that we could not do for ourselves, i.e., standing army, fighting crime, protecting the citizens and some other things…Somewhere along the line, things changed as now our citizens want the government to take care of the them, cradle to grave and act like it is owed to them…and I am hearing we must take care of the people who come into our country illegally. That really burns me, if so….One thing, I did pay into the SSI all my working life and I expect to get as much of that back as I can and at the same time I can understand why our younger citizens are concerned about their golden years, as they should be. We have figured out we can vote us a guy into office that will give us what we want, whatever it is and somebody, somewhere, apparently with deep pockets will pay for it all…One of these days folks are going to figure out there ain’t no “free bubble-up and rainbow stew”….Some of us got to pay the fiddler….I guess that is gonna be you and me, huh?…dang
