Social Security is MINE. And yours. The government takes it from you by force, you have no choice in the matter. I WANT IT BACK when I am old. The government however has piddled it away playing stock market tycoon and it's gone. MY MONEY. YOUR MONEY.. Now they tell us we can't have our money back in our old age. "Tough luck pal." is all we'll get when we're old and needing our money back. Our government is corrupt to the core and their priorities are BAD and WRONG. They don't care about the little people, it's all about keeping the rich rich and in power at the expense of the little people. They need to cut out the PORK and corruption and put the will and needs of WE THE PEOPLE ~first~...
PBS is such a minute expense but such a worthwhile cause. People need to watch more PBS and less "Wives of _______", less football, less DWTS, less AGT, less scripted reality and focus on learning.
SMART PEOPLE PROSPER. Stupid people, live in swamps and get on reality TV. They get their 15 minutes then they go back to languishing in their trailers in the swamp and backwoods.
I have friends in Europe. Many countries in Europe REQUIRE you to speak 12 languages before you can graduate high school. One friend of mine is a native Swede but to hear her speak you wouldn't know it. She can speak multiple languages without accent. She can speak English like an American and with a perfect British accent when she's in England. She can speak French and German without flaw. And several others.
And in America? They have to put subtitles in for people from Louisiana because their English is so poor that it is almost a foreign language.
Why aren't we focused on educating people so that they can elevate themselves to a better position in life? Is it easier to keep the people stupid and drugged up on the idiot box?
Are stupid people easier to control? I hate to say it but when the stupid people get hungry after the rich have robbed them blind and caused the country to collapse, the stupid people have GUNS and they are going to be the ones to rise up against their oppressors.
It is a much better thing to educate people from their earliest days to their last days so that they can be productive, tax paying citizens that can work to make a better country for everyone to enjoy. The right wing complains about welfare and all that?
Well, educate them and they won't have to be on welfare ya dummies! Sheesh!
ok, that was my rant for the day..
Let's banish ignorance and stupidity. Let's educate everyone, equally. M'kay?
