The Economy Made Simple

If your wondering how our economy really works then follow along with me in this simple illustration. Someone comes to your house and informs you that you will be paying them 50% of everything you make from this day forward. You cannot ask any questions about how that money will be spent, you must just accept it and keep paying forever. Then you see your hard earned money being wasted on nonsense, stuff that does not work or help you in anyway but your told you must keep right on paying. Then one day that person comes to you again and tells you they ran out of money, they must have more and you must accept that. They tell you they will borrow the money they need from Countries you cannot stand, you don't agree with their policies and have lost loved ones during wars with those Countries but you must back those loans. Adding insult to injury you must pass along that debt to your children and grand children for the rest of time. You hav eno say, no vote, your stuck and you must sign on the dotted line so they, the politicians and your government can spend that money anyway they choose on stuff you don't need. Our tax dollars at work, our politicians lying and cheating you out of your hard earned money for all time. Does that make nay sense?
