There Ain't No Free Lunch!!

The title of this post is my favorite quote from Zig Ziglar. Zig checked out in 2012, but I still reread some of his books. I went to a couple of seminars over the years and heard him deliver the message live. People usually left a Ziglar seminar feeling better than when they went in.

Zig could do an hour about "There ain't no free lunch!" He said that the world would be a better place if people would just take the time to understand that concept. There ain't no free lunch!

The entire Democratic Party and other liberal groups are all opposed to this simple concept. The Democratic Party exists to counter Zig's claim. They are in fact the party of the "Free Lunch". Or as I prefer to put it, "Free Shit." 

We are a couple of weeks out from Election Day and the Internet, the television and even the radio are all filled with the promises of "The Free Lunch". 

All politicians use the lure of the "Free Lunch" to win voters. It never works out. Someone has to pay the bills. But who?

Politicians are bad at math. the numbers never work. Check state and federal budgets for more proof of this. Check the national debt if you have the stomach for it.

I hear people telling me, "Democrats are for the working man." Hell, Dims don't even know a working man. They wouldn't know a working man if one bit them on the ass. Dims have become the party of the "non-working man". 

Don't believe me? How's that Obamacare working for you? Did you keep your doctor? How far down have your costs for medical care gone? If you don't have all of those numbers, feel free to get back to me later on that.

Luckily for the United States, I have the answer. What's the answer? Simple, require everyone to contribute. You have to put something in to get something out. Whatever you reward, you reinforce. If we pay people to not work, they aren't ever going to go back to work. They just won't. 

Here's some examples: People who live in government housing should help maintain the place. We shouldn't have to hire people to clean up after residents who are living there for free. Housing projects should be the cleanest places in any city. Hint: They aren't right now. If you don't have a job and are receiving unemployment benefits, you should have to report every day to an employment center where they can help you find a job. If you need training, you should be in some kind of school every day. 

I think that I have the support of a majority of Americans when I say that I am not willing to pay somebody to hang out on the corner waiting for a chance to break the law. If you want to sell drugs or use drugs, do it on your time with your money, not mine. 

Politicians are using our tax dollars as an incentive to reward their voters who don't want to contribute to society. We are headed towards an economic catastrophe because politicians are using our tax dollars to provide for those unwilling to contribute. 

There ain't no free lunch! Taxpayers are paying for that, and we are tired of doing that. You politicians can buy votes with your own frigging money!!
