Conundrum & Ineptocracy Provide Examples of American Mindset

Thanks to our SC businessman for sending a message he accurately calls Conundrum.  It reminds me of the October 2011 message entitled Ineptocracy which spent many weeks as the most read post on RTE. 

 

 

The following provides a good example of the mindset in America that needs changing.

 

Many will remember the ending:

"Ineptocracy"

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy)

- "a system of government where the least capable

to lead are elected by the least capable of producing,

and where the members of society least likely

to sustain themselves or succeed,

are rewarded with goods and services paid

for by the confiscated wealth of a

diminishing number of producers."

 

And now Conundrum:

 

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing. 

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:

 

1. America is capitalist & greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.

 

2.  Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.

 

3.  They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.

 

4.  Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.

 

5.  The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

 

6.  They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

 

 

But there is a postscript of three more conundrums given to me by my dentist:

 

1.  We are advised to not judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

 

2.  Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money.  How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money?  The first group worked for their money, but the second didn't.

 

3.  Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military & cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens?
