This species is in danger of dying a slow death by attrition. Dwindling numbers now hint at an ever-decreasing population. I am of course talking about the highly valued and resourceful CAPITALIST PIG.
Because of the constant vilification of self worth, self interest, coupled with the complete erosion of individual accountability, America faces a much worst crisis bigger that that of the “Credit Crunch”: The disappearance of the American Capitalist.
This Feral Capitalist is one generation removed from the “Baby Boomers” and only two from “The Greatest Generation” that fought the Axis Powers. Within that time frame, the voting public has installed politicians that promise everyone a home, an education, and a “secure retirement.”
YEAH RIGHT!
Let me spell it out another way. I played video games growing up. I loved cheat codes. I never faced running out of ammo, lives, or an infinite amount of chances. One thing that resulted from my love of cheat codes was the eventual erosion of my interest in the game. It was no longer a game. There was no chance of ever losing. If I came up against the outcome of losing, I would simply apply the code and I started winning again.
If I can’t lose, what is the purpose of continuing to play the game?
Millions of 30-something Americans were raised, taught, and feed the dream of “social security” since they were toddlers. If these rational (yet lazy) beings already think that their future is secured. Why should they struggle with building a nest egg, fighting for that high paying job, or even educate themselves so that they qualify for a good job?
You know the answer to that question because you wake up to it everyday. Denial of reality does not change reality.
The outcome of a bail-out bingeing, welfare wagging, Nanny-like National Gov’t is the destruction of LONG TERM INDIVIDUAL SELF INTEREST. Otherwise known as Capitalism.
