When They Come For My Bus

I try and steer clear of this kind of post, but here goes, cause I have had it…

Here in the Peoples Republic of California, everyone is welcome, legal or not, just ask the Governor. In a Socialist State, everyone gets the same, even if they did not work for it. So I have to ask myself, is BC going to be divided up eventually between the "wanter's" because of my hard work? Is someone else going to get what I have just because they want it?

So friggin tired of some that just want, want, want, and don’t want to work, work, work.

Everyone here on this forum has put so much effort into their dream with a lot of muscle, vision, and tenacity. It has taken me nine years to realize my dream. I’m not rich, I work hard, and I make improvements when my budget can let me do so. I can’t order the best, but I can do the best with what I have. And like all of you, I did it with my own hands, because my hands were working, not expecting a hand-out.

I give to those who are truly needy, but just because you want it, don’t expect me to give it. Get off your lazy butt and go do what we have done. .. get a job. Oh, and when you get my bus, be sure that you calibrate your hand-out checks for $4.25 per gallon of diesel, or you’ll just sit there and watch the tires rot. We need those high fuel taxes here to provide for all the free cell phones and stuff.

Ok, now I feel better and I hope I have not offended. But I did VOTE today, it’s my only recourse. I'm happy that I can enjoy it now before it is taken away.

I agree 100% on this one, we have the same problems here in Canada ( don't get me started on it)

Re: When They Come For My Bus

If everyone who worked (the providers) would leave the state of CA and leave all the gimmes there, then maybe the state would understand what they are doing. I have never seen the huge draw of CA. But I grew up on the beaches of FL and in the mountains of NC. Between the two places, we had it all.

If you don't like where you currently live, find another state to live in. There's 49 more and you can drive to 48 of them!

Ah, easy to say----but, as you know, very much more difficult to do. I'll have to go with BC and vote. That doesn't mean I have to like it the way it is. Jack

Re: When They Come For My Bus

Life ain't like clicking your ruby heels together and wishing you were in Kansas. Moving means dumping on my responsibilities to my 83 year old mother and the rest of the family...I'll stay for the fight... and my vote does give me the right to bitch.

I'm the "bad one" so my mother doesn't want me anywhere near her (I've also been "cut out of the will" like I care... she has odd values and control over others is very important to her). Oddly enough I found out this weekend that one of the "good ones" apparently killed her cat (ether accidently or deliberately... knowing my druggie sister, I think it was deliberate).

I'm bad. I'm bad. I'm bad.... Do my "little uptight white boy" dance and sing "I'm bad. I'm bad. I'm bad!"

Re: When They Come For My Bus

So since there is now Osama-Care, free cell phones, unemployment checks for those that don't even try to be employed, and all the other much abused social programs, maybe we can get one added for us. FREE SCHOOL BUSES FOR SKOOLIES! Maybe we can even get the govt to pay a company to do the conversion while we sit in a lawn chair, drinking a chilly cold brew and "supervising"! Hell yeah, I'm going to write my Reps now and ask them to propose a bill! Better yet, just have Osama issue an executive order and bypass all the checks and balances! He can appoint a Bus Czar to handle issuing of the buses!

Re: When They Come For My Bus

I would suggest this contempt be aimed higher: To the MultiNational Corporations and the Global Cabal of banking and to those installed congressman and Senators both sides of the aisle.

it's far too easy, and enjoyable and cathartic, to look around you and point to whatever pain you feel, in the faces of what you determine are takers: The real takers are faceless: They are the ones who pay no tax, and yet have the privilege of owning this country as it's own personal Market Place. I know this: If I want a territory or a franchise in this country I need to pay for it, I need to pay for my franchise.

The amount of wealth extracted from you and I by The usurious banking system: That fosters all the risk and costs and losses on our backs, but gladly pockets and off-shores the profits: Throw in a few wars predicated on Lies for several trillion dollars, throw in the bail-out of the largest banks on Wall Street who's speculation vanished half the wealth, you wealth on the planet.

And then refer to Social Security as an entitlement. I believe Health care should be a birthright in this Nation. I don't believe in Obamacare, because every successful effective Health Care system in this world is not for profit. The focus on welfare recipients, food stamp recipients, many of them the elderly, many of them the families of our vets, many of them folks who lost their pensions, or lost their 401K's the result of the criminal speculations of the now rewarded banks is simply irresponsible for someone who is looking at the big picture. For someone who wants to recognize the real forces that use this Nation, as a StoreFront, write the policies of this Nation, and control the lapdog Media to avert their scrutiny to the real nest of vipers, and foment and create the paper tigers so easily scapegoated. So funny, ironic, so strange to look at an actual human being, and determine they aren't giving enough, contributing enough. And completely ignore these giant entities, whose thefts are in the trillions, and are in part responsible, for the economic hardships many of these "takers" are experiencing. How the greedy profit takers and their lobbies, adamantly refuse a raise in the minimum wage, while socking away obscene profits: A woman working a 40 hour week and not having a "living wage"? And then to add insult to injury calling them a taker, a thief, a non contributing member of this society. I guess the question is. Do we or don't we have a responsibility to one another. And importantly, don't we have a duty and responsibility to point our finger at the real criminals?
