So what would you say if I told you that you had to spend $23 billion over the next 50 years to fight the war on poverty and at the end of the 50 years the results of your spending would be pretty much negligible?
So what if I told you that you could be the leader of major cities in the United States for the next 50 years and that despite how much money you spent on education, crime-fighting and on public welfare to help citizens, your education would still rank about number 30 in the world and your crime rates would still be ridiculously high?
So what if I told you that currently eight of the ten most dangerous cities in America are strongholds of the Democrats and have been run by the Democrats for just about 50 years?
So what if I told you that there would be a tremendous influx of illegal aliens into your country and that instead of calling them illegal aliens we would find a much nicer name for them such as undocumented citizens or undocumented residents, and having found such a wonderful name for them we would offer them welfare, unemployment benefits, Social Security and free medical care? And what if I told you that for these undocumented citizens we would keep it secret so that the American-citizen taxpayers paying for it couldn’t know that their taxpayer money was being used in such a fashion?
So what if I told you that as an American citizen you are subject to our laws and to prosecution for violating our laws and that you would be punished accordingly for doing so, but they, the undocumented citizens, could commit horrendous crimes including even rape and murder, yet not be prosecuted for such crimes and even be protected? Then what if I told you that you would have to pay for your lawyer but they could get legal aid and have legal services for free so you would have to pay for their lawyer too?
I think you’d think I was crazy. I think you’d start to wonder where I got such crazy ideas. I think you’d think that someone like me should be run out of town.
So what if I told you that, give or take, much of what’s written above is actually happening in our country and that you, the taxpaying American citizen, have really no say in what’s going on but have to pay the taxes to fund it all? On some level you would think it’s laughable, that is as long as it’s in the realm of the make-believe. But in the realm of reality it’s not laughable, it’s tragic, and in the long run if we don’t do something about it, it will be our downfall.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. If you read some of the history stuff about it that is kind of true.
So what if I told you finally, that in 1989 the Berlin wall would come down and the Soviet Union would collapse? And what if I told you that the end of the Cold War would leave one world power, the United States of America?
Then, what if I told you that over the next 30 years the United States of America would let China surpass it economically and allow Russia to rebuild itself such that it was once again a world power threatening the very existence of the United States?
And what if I told you that while this was happening the United States was pretty much wasting its time on internal power struggles between the Republicans and the Democrats, wasting its tax resources, depleting its military and exhausting the military’s supplies and equipment? Worse, what if I told you the United States was supporting its enemies with huge economic payoffs to the tune of $150 billion to Iran, a country that every day reminds us that it would see us and Israel obliterated from the face of the earth?
Well, so what would you say?
