To think or not to think

Socialism!  Communism!  Those words and others like them are your cue to stop and think.  They are words used to excite and stir up people who only have a four legs good, two legs bad idea of what is going on.

A little real research in places not attached to the source, (so not Fox and its affiliates) usually digs up the real issues.  These digs tend to bring up things the very wealthy do not want the other 97% of us to buy into.  Things like a fair wage for a fair day's work.  Women being in control of their own bodies.  Medical care for everyone.  Subsidies so under educated, under employed people have time to get up on their feet and become productive members of society.

Contrary to what is believed by some, most people prefer self esteem, respectable jobs and self sufficiency to being on the dole.  A few people have no intention of ever working, but they are not the norm.  A few people will always be among the dregs of the earth, even those with lots of money and power, so . . .

It is up to YOU, the everyday citizen, to think, and read between the lines and not give up until you DO understand what is really going on.  It is not a conspiracy.  Who needs to go to the trouble of designing a conspiracy when all that's necessary is to let uninformed voters vote because they dimly remember their favorite politician mentioning something.  The word politician is another catch word.

They are in the business of being re-elected.  Very few of them are altruisitic saints running around doing God's work.  They are more likely doing the big pharmaceutical's work, or the NRA's work. Banks and stockbrokers and people with lots of money make it much easier to be elected.

There is no such thing as a sure fire good guy any more than there is some feature that marks one as a bad guy.  It all comes down to figuring it out, so just think (and do some real research) before you make decisions that might affect you and your children and maybe your great great grandchildren.
