America’s Economy Is Infected. . .By Washington Entitlements

By Michael McCune

The parasites inhabiting Washington, including our elected officials from both parties, have spread their infection across the country, causing millions of Americans to abandon the principles that made this country the greatest economic powerhouse ever assembled. The result is a economic structure that is empty. The shell is still there but the beehive activity that used to fill the structure with positive activity and purpose is missing-in-action.

Those Americans who have been infected by the parasites feel they “are entitled” to what others are working for and have used the elected officials to enhance their ability to transfer the wealth. The result is Many spots in America have as empty an economic future as American bee growers have empty hives. There are many similarities but the chief one is bee growers noticed the workers abandon their normal activity and wander “zombie-like circles without a sense of direction.” If that doesn’t sum up an increasingly large percentage of the American population what does?

It is too bad the cure for such behavior depends upon the collapse of the system that fostered it but once this particular parasite has been implanted, the “entitled” group begins to see more and more things they want to have and resent the workers who have earned what they have amassed. This resentment will lead to violence, from either the takers or the ‘donors’, and that will be the end of the American Experiment. We will revert to what the rest of the world has evolved to in its corrupt government forms.

In fact the zombie phenomena is more advanced in Europe than America where not only the haves (France and Germany) are being besieged by the have-nots (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Greece) but where the working people of those countries are being taken assaulted by in-house parasites.

England has passed laws where the worker’s paycheck doesn’t go directly to the worker but goes first to the government hacks so they can “delete” that portion needed to sustain the welfare state before giving what’s left to the person that actually earned it. How far are we from such a system? We already pay payroll taxes but it will not be long before Tim Geithner or Ben Bernanke or Barack Obama or Harry Reid cottons onto the advantages of having your paycheck pass through their hands first. It would end many of the personal tax audits and allow the auditors to focus on the juicier business audits.

Of course the first thing they have to do is make sure the average American “understands this procedure would be beneficial” to them, make sure the dastardly villains providing the payroll spots are actually the target for such a law and “only the wealthy” will be affected. Hah! The General Accounting Office (GAO) already counts every penny of the economy as government revenue and that portion they allow the public to keep as a government expense.

If that isn’t a parasitical thought process against our free-market economy then nothing is or ever will be.

The go-nowhere dance the economy is mired in is due in large part to government interference. The housing market cannot find a bottom because of government subsidies to selected arenas and friends. The energy market cannot find a solid base because so many regulations prevent America from fulfilling the actual purpose behind the Energy Department which was to “insure America’s energy independence.” (If the Energy Department ever did that they would be out of jobs so they prevent the unbridled development of America’s energy resources while aiding other countries’ development.) The unemployment problem is hampered because not one employer in the country knows how much of a tax burden and in what form each employee will cost them later this year, or next. The combined efforts of the EPA and FDA have put a severe limit on farmers, particularly those reliant on irrigation rights. Without access to water rights, much of the food we currently enjoy will go into the memory-only chambers.

The parasites that turn a working bee colony into a mere empty hive are no worse than the political process that fosters two sets of laws and can’t abide the light of truth on its activities, so they conjure up “terrorists” and National Socialist-type regulations to drip feed the populace into believing all is well. It won’t be well again until this abominable system our government has evolved into is gone into history’s dustbin and the original intent of the Founding Fathers is restored as “The Law of the Land.”
