All animals are equal,
but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell
To catch a herd of wild pigs,
find a clearing in the woods and put out food.
Once the pigs find the food,
they’ll come back to eat again.
When they are used to coming every day,
put up one side of a fence.
When they get used to the fence,
put up another, and another, and the last with a gate.
When the pigs come back for the free food,
close the gate.
After becoming temporarily upset,
the pigs accept captivity and eat the free food.
If the pigs are the working class,
did corporate controlled government put up the fence
comprised of what most read, hear and see
from government/special interest controlled mainstream media outlets
funded with rapidly increasing quantities of fiat currency?
Is the free food socialized benefits,
Cash for Clunkers, Tax Cuts, Bailouts, Stimulus Spending, etc…?
Remain calm. All is well!
Chip Diller (Kevin Bacon)

Are tax cuts not offset by spending cuts free food
to be paid for by piglet hardship?
Are unfunded retirement promises free food?
We should consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts,
and morally bound to pay them ourselves.
Each generation has the right by will of its majority to bind themselves,
but none to bind the succeeding generation.
Thomas Jefferson
Have we sacrificed our children’s future prosperity
for some free food in the present
because so many have been convinced there is no fence?

Some are beginning to see the fence, but the gate is swiftly closing. BB
