Ok, ill jump in one more time.
My small city has a population of 10k. At the last city council budget meeting 4,000 dollars was reguested for credit card expenses. Upon furher query into what these expense were for, and it took a week and almost the amount of red taoe of a FOA request, it turned out to be lunches for city council members.
1 to 200 dollar lunch bills. Furthermore not even in the same city, where it could at least be giving back to the local economy. Not even in the same county.
So these officials get to eat well, in big major cities far removed from our city, on the taxpayer dime. (While conducting "city business")
These people make 100 to 200k a year, im an area where the average income is 50K A year.
You'd think they could buy their own damn lunches.
This is corruption and political "entitlement" on a small scale.
Now lets go big.
Govt officials rarely get started in office being millionares, or billionaires. Yet once in office, many end up millionares.
Something wrong with that.
There is so much corruption at the highest levels it can be mind boggling.
Government employee statistics have long surpassed manufacturing employees. So there are more people "ruling" us, than there are people being productive and making stuff.
Between Gov't and Welfare, not to mention corperate welfare, vast amounts of money are being spent funding people that are not productive in our country. And it is the people that work, and work hard, that are paying for that all.
And war after war, after war.
Wolfe Blitzer defended it in an interview with Rand Paul as being "good for the economy" because Lockheed Martin created jobs.
Yet they are getting paid by goverment contracts, which we the taxpayers are paying for
We pay, they profit.
Obama, Hillary and their ilk focus on these SJW issues while the country and world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Not to be insensitive, but who the hell cares what bathrooms Transgender people use?! Why the hell is that important in the big picture??
Why is Marriage equality so damn important?
Sure these are important issues to the minority affected, but we have much bigger things to take care of.
The Obama/ Hillary team have done nothing but help destroy and divide this country, plunge it furrher in debt, and keep it embroiled in military conflicts.
No, I've had enough. I'm willing to give our new President a chance.
We'll see. Ask me in 4 years if I think I and we, are better off.
I know after 8 years of the "change we can believe in" and "yes we can" administration, we are worse off.
Agree with my veiws or not, I wish you all well, and I sincerely hope we all have a brighter future.
