The Pelosi-tariat and the Totalitarian Temptation

Even though Communism has proven to be an ultimate and dismal economic failure, some politicians and academics cling to the belief that they are superior to you, know more than you, are smarter than you, and can make better decisions for you than you yourself.

One politician in particular thinks she can make better decisions for the whole planet and everyone on it. That same politician thinks she knows what will make us all happy, and that’s complete and utter Britain-style dependence on government, because in theory, only government has the means to make the masses happy.

It isn’t sustainable. It didn’t last in the former Soviet Union and East Germany, and it’s crumbling in China, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea. European countries are moving toward a capitalism/communism hybrid, and it looks like we are too.

But it isn’t for the common good—it’s merely to ensure a stable voting block.

With these government goodies come all kinds of strings, and some are more barbed wire than string—take universal healthcare for one. Sure, the poor may get health care, but what kind and how much? Count on the bare minimum to be sure—just enough to keep the voters who want it “happy” and coming back for more…along with their tax dollars. The same can be said for unemployment benefits, welfare, food stamps, and the current COBRA plan subsidization.

As the masses want more and more from their broke Uncle Sam, the higher the tax levels will go to pay for it—a modern-day Robin Hood scheme of robbing the so-called “rich” (those with jobs) to give to the poor (those without jobs). Oh yes indeed this is a GOOD time to be unemployed!!

Uncle Sam isn’t getting robbed here, but rather fellow taxpayers—your friends, neighbors, co-workers, family members, and acquaintances—you know, people who are lucky enough to still have a job of some sort--all in the name of making you happy. Uncle Sam is just the middleman here. Politicians make the policy into law.

In case you haven’t figured this out yet, Obama is just a figurehead—Nancy Pelosi actually runs the show.

What single thing would make EVERYONE happy everywhere? More serotonin, which can be bought in any health food or supplement store. If anything, the government should put this in the drinking water supply, but no—it wouldn’t achieve the goal of cementing a voting block through sheer dependence. Instead of supplements, they prefer to use drugs to get you hooked (unemployment, welfare, food stamps, etc.)—the equivalent of modern-day slavery, and haven’t we had enough of that in our history?

Instead of seeking serotonin through Uncle Sam and his minions, why not the Pelosi-tariat out of business by finding out what makes us happy, then doing something about it OURSELVES? If you don’t know what would make you happy, try some serotonin—either in pill form or by eating foods that boost serotonin production. It’s the cheapest way to make someone “happy” without burdening your fellow man.

The Pelosi-tariat promises to make us happy by giving us access to prescription-strength anti-depressants, which also increase serotonin levels at a much higher price (for both you and society at large).

There are two ways we can get what you want or need: by earning it or by taking it. The Pelosi-tariat aims to help us take it from others by creating government dependence. The only effective way to stop this is to make the burden so high as to deter many from attempting it (through taxes, price increases, punishment, and/or sufficient red tape), but they WANT your participation for those precious votes. Unfortunately, those votes come at too high a price for both you and the people around you (judging by the recently-passed stimulus bill).

Everything we do is aimed at creating our own happiness. Some consider this selfishness. It’s achieving our own happiness from the perspective of what gives us pleasure, alleviates our pain, and satisfies us--only we know what will fill the bill in these areas. Only we can make decisions regarding our lives and how we live them to achieve maximum happiness. The Pelosi-tariat can only whitewash over our life, for good or evil, and attach strings to keep us tied up in dependency.

The Pelosi-tariat aims to get us to act against our nature—to become expedient (getting something for little or nothing) in a way that hurts others. Another way to look at it is outright theft. By encouraging this over and over, it becomes habit and is hard to break, but easy to justify. Then it becomes all we know, and that leads to gaming the system to prolong your expedient dependency. We spread the word, and teach our children how to game the system, and whole generations begin living from this unsustainable trough.

Unless someone an absolute moron who can’t do anything for him or herself (including wiping your own ass), or have physical/mental problems that completely incapacitate them, there IS no justification for sitting back and letting the Pelosi-tariat make decisions for any of us—it’s stealing from the rest of us, and stealing is punishable by law (unfortunately, the punishment isn’t harsh enough to be taken seriously). It also ensures these clowns remain in office to punish the REST of us who can and will do for ourselves, because some of us have learned to vote ourselves largesse from the treasury—they will vote where the money is for them.

If you happened to vote for Obama, you’d be regretting that vote now if you cared anything for the people around you. If not now, you’ll definitely be regretting it in 2010, when al those lovely Bush tax cuts expire. If you are one of the many who insist on turning your entire lives over to the government, I suggest you move to Venezuela—Chavez has just been elected Dictator-for-Life, and he can provide for you until you die. Let the rest of us get on with our lives—you’re holding us back.
