What is that movie with Stallone where he is a cop and gets frozen only to be melted in the future where the cops are all a bunch of woosies and don't even fight and kissing and physical intercouseis illegal?
That is what this country is going to become if we don't do SOMETHING!
We can put a machine on mars, but we can't isolate ourselves from terrorism?
I understand that it is mainly a security problem and it is within our own country that crap gets through the loop holes, but I have learned the hard way that if you have enough money you can make ANYTHING happen. So start showing everyone that that type of crap won't be tolerated in this country and I bet we knock crime and underhanded stuff down to near nothing. We should start hanging people on times square and cutting hands off again for stealing. I bet people wont be so quick to break the rules. But that is just too mean.
Yeah look at us 100 years ago and look at us now. Then all you had to worry about was someone stealing your horse or shooting you in the back. Now you have to worry about ... do I really have to list everything? Technology has put us more at risk than it has protected us. Is there maybe a slight coincidence in that?
Think on this and tell me if this isn't backwards...
If I quit my job and leave my husband I will get child support for all three kids. Mandatory.
I will qualify for over $400 a month in food stamps.
I will qualify for over $400 a month in TANF(free money)
I will qualify for free insurance for myself and all 3 kids.
I will get subsidized housing that I only pay about $19 a month for a 3 bedroom townhouse apartment.
I can go to food pantries and get even more free food.
I can get free money for utilities
I can get free daycare vouchers, even though I don't have a job.
I can get vouchers to go buy clothes to go look for a job.
I can get vouchers to help pay for gas to go look for a job.
or I could get free transportation form the city anywhere I need to go.
I can get my GED (if I didn't have one) for FREE
And I would qualify for about 15 federal grants to go to college that the working man(woman) wouldn't qualify for.
BUT>>>> if I have a job, pay taxes, and remain married. I get to work until I am 65 years old in the hopes that I will have enough social security to pay for my food and house and gas and lights and heat and car. Oh and I will still ahve to pay for insurance and prescriptions and if I would like to go to the movies occasionally or get out and go on vacation, I better get a part-time job saying hello at wal-mart. But don't work too many hours or good ol uncle sam will getcha!
