"What's in it for me?" That should be our new national slogan! After all, that seems to be what everyone is worried about this election cycle, and everyday living for that matter. Should it matter if those less fortunate than others are without health care or the basic necessities to live? Is it wrong to expect the opulent to help their less fortunate brothers and neighbors? Or, are all those needy folk just freeloaders and dead beats looking for a handout from their well to do brothers of humanity? Government creates programs to help the less fortunate, corporate sector creates grants and donations to do the same. Yet, in every case there is an expected return on their investment. Politicians expect to gain support for election, corporations also look for support for their product or public image. One supports these activities with Tax monies and the other with Tax free monies. Monies, when it comes right down to it, monies are what it is all about. Who has it, who doesn't, and what to do with it to make more while appearing to care about the less fortunate that actually make the monies!
What if everyone worked for the greater good of the whole? *GASP* What a Horrible concept! That would be....
SOCIALISM! Shhhhh...Don't even utter that dirty word too loudly lest you be labeled a Socialist and usurper of freedom and all that is to be gained by it. True socialism means caring about your brothers as much as you care about yourself.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the pooch shared his kibbles with the cat!
