Some Interesting Questions

A gun is like a parachute.  If you need one, and don’t have one you’ll probably never need one again.”

 

 

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.

 

 

 

Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America:

 

1 America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.

 

2 Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.

 

3 They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.

 

4 Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.

 

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

 

6 They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

 

Think about it!  And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

 

Makes you wonder who is doing the math.  By the way………………

 

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

 

Funny how that works.  And here’s another one worth considering..

 

2 Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money.  But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money?  What’s interesting is the first group “worked for” their money, but the second didn’t.

 

Think about it…

 

Am I the only one missing something?

TV Viewership is Collapsing | Armstrong Economics

Chart provided by STATISTA The TV viewership of Superbowl LIIII collapsed in a virtual waterfall to just 98.2 million viewers. CBS, however, said the big game was watched across all platforms — including digital and streaming — by a combined total of 100.7 million viewers. That is still a major decline down 5% from last year when 103.4 million watched the game. The younger generation is gradually declining in their interest in such sports games. Nonetheless, what it is revealing is not only are newspapers and magazine dying slowly but so is TV. Our model is showing this is a decline that will not find a low until at least 2025-2028. We elected a Yearly Bearish Reversal in 2018 and another here in 2019. We will move back into 85 to 90 million level rather rapidly.

‘Daily Show’ Host Trevor Noah to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: How Will You Pay For Your Agenda? | Video | RealClearPolitics

Democratic party phenom and socialist NY Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on The Daily Show Thursday night and was asked by host Trevor Noah how she plans to pay for her agenda:

One of the things that we saw is, if people pay their fair share, if corporations and the ultra wealthy — for example, as Warren Buffett likes to say, if he pays as much as his secretary paid, 15 percent tax rate, if corporations paid — if we reverse the tax bill, raised our corporate tax rate to 28 percent … if we do those two things and also close some of those loopholes, that’s $2 trillion right there. That’s two trillion dollars in ten years.

If we get people to pay their fair share, that’s $2 trillion in ten years. Now if we implement a carbon tax on top of that, so that we can transition and financially incentivize people away from fossil fuels, if we implement a carbon tax — that’s an additional amount, a large amount of revenue that we can have.

Then the last key, which is extremely extremely important is re-prioritization. Just last year we gave the military a $700 billion budget increase, which they didn’t even ask for,” she said. “They’re, like, ‘we don’t want another fighter jet!’ They’re, like, ‘don’t give us another nuclear bomb,’ you know?
