Although the economy in most of the country is stuck in Obama's
depression due to his doing all he can to kill jobs, some places are
actually booming. Wyoming has only 5.9% unemployment and it seemed
like most businesses have "help wanted" signs and the local paper was
filled with good paying jobs. Almost all are oil and gas related but
good jobs nevertheless. Next door in Blue state Colorado, the
situation looks bad with very few jobs and businesses closing.
We did not go thru ND but people in WY told us that they were being
recruited to move to ND to work with major pay increases. ND is
having a major oil and gas boom too. TX is having an oil and gas boom
and high employment because they are business friendly and have not
allowed Obama's job destroying policies to be implemented. Meanwhile,
in LA and MS, Obama's policies have nearly killed the offshore oil and
gas business eliminating over 250,000 jobs.
Back in FL, things look grim with empty houses not being sold and
unemployment at 13% and the enviroes not allowing offshore drilling.
Elections have consequences.
Well, you know what they say:
The problems we face today are
there because the people who work
for a living are outnumbered by those
who vote for a living.
Just look at Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, Cleveland, Miami, Philadelphia, etc., etc. I guess you
could pick any city where over 75% of the new births occur out of wedlock.
But, marriage doesn't mean anything to liberals, so what the hell.
More truth to that than you know. Say 313 million people in the USA, of
which about 55% are children, students, retired, disabled, criminals,
war vets, bums and welfare. Gives about 140 eligible to be workers.
At least 5% will always be unemployed, too much pot, booze, drugs or
belligerent attitudes. 20% are moms, pregnant, caring for children or
professional home makers. Which leaves about 105 million working apes.
Of the 105 million, 12% are in the government somehow be it civic,
county, state, federal or armed services. This also includes government
funded positions at colleges, academics, direct government contractors
and other that are on a government derived payroll. Leaving 92 million
to actually pay for it all in non-consumption jobs.
But wait, real unemployment is about 20%. That leaves producers of 83
million.
Given about 74% can vote, or about 231 million. Voters that are not
producers is 231-83, about 148 million can vote but do not produce.
Producers of 83 million are clearly outnumbered. That is, 65 million
more people have big fat government and more taxes as the answer as
their vested interest, than there are people who support and pay for it.
So producers are clearly outnumbered. Perhaps they should unionize
against the government repression?
