Elections are coming...

06 July 2012, 18:53

I got this via e-mail the other day and thought it quite pertinent. I wonder if it would make the ANC supporters think a little ... maybe I'm just too optimistic!

CAN South Africa SURVIVE CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING?

The folks who are getting free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... The people who are forcing the people to pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this: all great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. Thomas Jefferson said it best: “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not”.

The number of people now getting free stuff out numbers the people paying for the free stuff.

ELECTION 2013 IS COMING... A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher

Budget speeches, or filling up th...

I have noted some of the speeches made by various ministers within the ANC government this week and I find some amusing, some unashamedly elections-focussed and some just plain racist. Read more...
