Thoughts and Observations by N.F. Pluto
Being from another planet, N.F. takes the time to note the following thoughts and observations about mankind, the United States and living in a ‘free country’. Note: These are his observations and must be kept in the context of an alien (Plutonian) who has migrated and now lives on earth. N.F. Pluto is in the interstellar transport business.
The keg was going dry on the back of the pick up, we were enjoying some suds as we watched dumb Darryl's barn burn to the ground. Darryl did not want to pay the new tax assessment. I had a conversation with N.F. about the country and its leadership. Which brought us to the subject of politics. This is N.F. going off:
“On my planet we don’t have a ‘government’. Think that’s impossible? Listen!
This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago your ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate your government is spending it.
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...what does it mean?
A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.
B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or... if you are a family of four...your family gets $2,066,012.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain...let's take a look at New Orleans ...It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

STILL THINK THIS SHIT IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...and the United States was the most prosperous nation in the world.We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened?Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to press '1' for English.”
I asked N.F. if others should be hearing the words of wisdom from a Plutonian mind and the answer was ‘why not’, “Americans hear and believe what passes for wisdom from liars, deceivers and Paris Hilton, why not hear the truth from me”. I asked N.F. how people should deal with the days ahead, foreclosures, high oil and gas, war and an election.
N.F. said, Everybody should do as Dr. Timothy Leary said, “Think for yourself and question authority.”

I can't believe this. Over 40 different taxes and the government is still broke. 10 Trillion dollars in debt and slave driving corporations want to bleed me while they give medicaid and other money to illegal aliens.
Fuck This!
In the post about labor day it was noted the government collects 1.7 Trillion in payroll taxes. With all the fucking taxes I pay why should my job get sent to China? I can't pay for billion dollar aircraft carriers, screen doors on submarines or Dick Cheney's secret mansion if the ship my job to China.
Uncle Sam should tax the Chinese and leave our asses (wallets and pocket books too) alone.
Didn't this country have a revolution about taxes? Didn't the USA kill an armed force so we wouldn't be held in economic bondage by a foreign government? Is it just me but is anybody feeling like its time for a revolution?
