Obama ordering the death of the pirates reminds me of the ransom we pay to the US / state Governments . Without our endless tribute to those who understand how to spend it better, we would not have redundant social programs and ineffective policing that keeps us safe at night. I use to think of it as 'social insurance'. As a homeowner, my taxes go off to the local (NYC) government, where in turn they provide services.
Sadly, many of these services are basically a re-distribution of wealth. Putting cash into the hands of citizens (those able body, and those who truly have no means). The lazy able body, and the truly foolish (that's my baby's dad) are kept at bay, so the rest of us (able body and employed) can move their lives and country along. Housing, food, medical, legal rights etc, paid by the taxes payers. It is sad that those who truly cannot pay their way, are in the same cesspool of those who take advantage.
This ransom, payed everyday, by the producers of this country is designed to keep the petty greedy in their neighborhoods and in their place. The liberals in this country need to keep them in their place. It is a source of political power, and perpetuates the 'oppression'. Why work for money if the tax payers are going to give it to me?
The US is spearheading the UN to make it illegal to pay a pirate's ransom. The idea is, if you curtail this form of easy income, then the pirates will have to go back to work.
Imaging if we didn't pay our ransom?
Taxes are needed ito pay for national defense, roads, and public works. And to this I agree. Next time you get your paystub, please think about where your deductions are going, and how it is spent.
