Entitlements Are Crack Cocaine
Obama Promising Handouts
In the real world, we want to see that crack dealer go to jail or better yet we want to club him with a baseball bat ourselves. Yet with politics, people keep coming back to the same lowlife drug dealer for more crack handouts.
The drug dealer politicians keep feeding the voters just enough crack to keep them hooked. Whenever people get too strung out from being without their entitlement drugs, the corner drug dealer politician shows up with another quick fix to keep them happy and addicted.
People are just too blind to see that this is exactly what is going on. You see the massive rallies of crack addicted voters show up at these Democratic political rallies. Watch the crowd become frenzied when Obama talks about all the crack he is about to hand out to them. He promises to give them as much crack as they can possibly smoke if he could just get the bully Republicans to let him, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid increase the size of that dime bag.
In Obama’s world, the rich people buy the dope. So he is not really handing out dime bags. He is handing out free bags to freebasers. Maybe that should be his next campaign slogan. Can you see him speaking at the podium? Yes We Can Have More Crack! Yes We Can! Republicans are the party of no crack! But, I say “Yes we can have our crack!” Yes we can!
It is simply amazing to see how many people don’t realize that this is really what they are supporting. They keep supporting these power monger politicians who only stay in power as long as they keep handing out entitlements. That is the very basis for the modern day Democratic Party. Keep promising the people more crack. The more crack we promise them, the more votes we get. Can’t you people see this?
It is the nature of politicians.
Naturally, the most disliked politicians are the ones who want to clean up the neighborhood. They are the ones who want to take away the other politicians’ power to hand out new entitlements. They want to shrink the size of government and flush all the dope down the drain. These few well intentioned soles are quickly voted out of office because people want their crack. Never try to keep a crackhead from getting his fix. He will stab you if he has to. He will do anything he can think of. The Democrats know this.
That really speaks to the underlying flaw in the American political system. Naïve people are always going to want to elect the person who hands out the most free crack. He who promises the most freebies from the government gets the most votes.
Don’t let them fool you people. This is how they operate. It isn’t going to change any time soon either. John McCain tried to make a big deal out of this sort of thing in the 2008 presidential election. It fell on deaf ears because people feel entitled to their entitlements. Savvy crooked politicians keep promising more and more of them every year. Not a year goes by, even during a recession, without some leading politician promising the people more and more from the government. People are so blind it is comical.
In an era where we can’t even keep people off the real crack cocaine, how the hell are we going to keep the rest of the population from demanding the political version of it? Sickening, isn’t it?
I totally agree! Let’s get everybody off crack! Let’s start with people that have served in the military. They did their jobs and we paid them, gave them free transportation to the places we wanted them to work, gave some free housing, clothing, food and health care. We do not owe them a pension; it’s a handout, crack if you will. Next … politicians; while in office, they also did some kind of a job for which they were paid. They are usually ‘well to do’ anyway, we don’t owe them anything after they leave office, especially ex-presidents. Look at both Bushes, Clinton and Carter standing there like little crack addicts waiting for their fix! Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, all crack for the masses! Let’s cut all of that out! For business, let’s get rid of all those entitlements also – investment tax credits, depreciation on business assets, economic redevelopment credits, etc. That’s nothing but crack! The new healthcare legislation – nothing but a huge crack pipe from which the masses will draw their fixes!
Errr, Excuse me, I have a question, though. IF we get rid of all of this “crack”, how would it make the United States better than say, Afghanistan, Haiti, Cuba or Iraq? What kind of country would we be? Would, say, the military from a foreign country come in and capture George W. Bush because they did not like the way he ran the government? Would they then offer him up to factions in the country that would eventually convict and execute him … because we don’t inspire uniform loyalty to an America that hands out crack to its ex-military personnel? Would we allow our elders who have so much to teach us about the right or wrong way things were done to perish earlier in life or refuse to serve in advisory roles because they are still busy trying to make a living? Would we decimate our population by refusing to offer medical care to the sick and have them eventually die off?
I say the things we would create by not offering the “crack” (as you put it) are worse than the so-called “crack”!
Hmmmm, If money to the former middle class for unemployment extensions (so we can survive until the jobs come back)is what you consider an entitlement then what do you call this?
CAPITALISM AT WORK or Corporate “entitlements” ?
I would love to see you report on that issue.

Corporate tax is a discussion for another post. My general take is this – Taxing American corporations is counter productive. Those taxes get passed on to us in the form of higher prices. Plus those higher taxes give companies more incentive to move operations overseas. People have this misguided notion that companies pay taxes. They don’t. Ultimately, we pay. We pay more money for their products than we otherwise would because of corporate taxes. Corporate taxes are politicians’ way of taking more money from you and disguising it as though it is coming from some evil giant corporation. In the long run those costs are passed on to average Americans in the form of inflation and lost American jobs.
The solution is not to create more complex tax laws for corporations to find a loophole in. The solution is for the government to quit spending so much damn money that they need to constantly raise taxes for. Quit spending. Quit spending. Quit spending.
The funny thing about entitlements is that the ones who pay into the tax system do not get them, but the ones who do not pay do. It is rather sad that it works that way. But I do agree with you on the fact that most people start to expect them once they get start getting them.
