Why...?

WHEN you or I do not pay our taxes for several years we could end up being employed by “The Big House”…

BUT when Timothy Geithner, the president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, didn’t pay his taxes for several years he got employed by the White House.

WHEN Hillary Rodham Clinton was running for President and suggested that any health care reform would have to mandate that everyone must buy health care insurance, she was berated during a political debate by her opponent for suggesting such a thing…

BUT when that same political opponent, President Obama, signed his new health care reform bill into law, it has a federal mandate that everyone must buy health care insurance.

WHEN John McCann was running for President and suggested that any health care reform should have a tax that would be levied on employer provided health care insurance premiums, he was berated by his political opponent and the idea was used against him in political campaign ads…

BUT when that same political opponent, President Obama, signed his new health care reform bill into law, it includes a tax to be levied on employer provided health care insurance premiums.

WHEN Sarah Palin; a woman who was a City Councilman, a Mayor and a Governor was running for Vice President, she was deemed unfit to hold an office for which she wasn’t even running (President)…

BUT when Barrack Obama; a man who had never governed anything, ran for that same office he was deemed fit to hold the most powerful office in the land (and some would argue the world)…and won.

WHEN the country was at war under President George W. Bush, the media ran daily tallies of civilian and military deaths like they were keeping score in a ball game…

BUT when the country is at war under President Barrack Hussein Obama, the media forgets that anyone is dying.

WHEN an overwhelming majority of Americans say no to the federal government take over of their health care, they are ignored…

BUT when President Obama announced the successful passage of that take over, he stated, “We proved that this government -- a government of the people and by the people -- still works for the people.”

WHEN liberals violently protest we are told that, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”…

BUT when conservatives peacefully protest we are told they are racists, bigots, terrorists, and hate mongers.

WHEN Democrats are in control of the government we’re all supposed to just get along. We’re supposed to hold hands and sing “Kumbaya” and not make waves...

BUT when Republicans are in control opposition is a must and encouraged.

WHEN a child needs an aspirin, the school must have the parents consent before it can be administered…

BUT when a fifteen year old girl gets pregnant, her high school has the right to pay for her to go to a clinic and get an abortion without her parent’s consent.

WHEN a thief enters my home and takes something that doesn’t belong to him/her, the law will put him/her in prison…

BUT when the government enters my financial home and takes something that doesn’t belong to them, the law calls it taxes…

SHOULD I continue to be a law abiding and responsible citizen, working day in and day out; five days a week and 8 hours a day, to earn a living, pay taxes, make my mortgage payment, pay my bills, pay for my own health care, and take care of the poor on a voluntary basis...

WHEN I can just become a slave to the nanny state and let the federal government pay my mortgage and take care of my every need.

…I was just wondering.
