Received from one of my very right wing friends:


1. Americans are called capitalist and greedy – but half the population
is subsidized.

2. Half the population are subsidized – but they consider themselves
victims.

3. They believe they are being victimized – but their representatives
in Congress run the government.

4. Representatives in Congress run the government – yet the poor keep
getting poorer.

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

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

Who’s doing the freakin math here!

And a couple more things:

1. We’re cautioned NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics, but we’re encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the
actions of a few lunatics.


2. We’re regularly warned that Social Security is running out of money
but Welfare and Food Stamps seem to be a bottomless pit of money.

3. We’re cutting benefits for veterans and raises for military. We’re
downsizing our army and naval forces to levels lower than before
WWII. BUT . . . we’re not stopping payments or benefits to illegal
aliens.

Who the hell is in charge here!?

You noted "very right wing". Does that mean only "very right wing" folks
get the math here? How about libs, do they not see it or do they just
not care?
