Frank Haley newsman at KDAZ AM730 sent this to me last night………..
I am constantly amazed at the people who don’t realize they are “caught” until after the fact…just like NOW with the ACA (aka Obamacare).
Most people didn’t think it would affect them.
Catching Pigs
A thought to remember: Karl Marx said….”Remove one freedom per generation….and soon you will have no freedom
and no one would have noticed.”
There was a chemistry professor in a large University that had some exchange students in the class.
One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept
rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his
native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist regime. In
the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: “Do you know how
to catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke. “You
catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods, and you put corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin
to come every day to eat the free food. “When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side
of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and
you put up another side of the fence.
“They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate
in the last side. “The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.
You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly…..the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They
run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so
used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.”
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps
pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments
not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a
little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone
to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government
“help” is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to share this with your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably not share this.
BUT, God help us all when the gate slams shut!
Quote for today: “The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now
outnumbered by those that vote for a living”
“Any man who thinks he can be happy
and prosperous by letting the government
take care of him— better take a closer look
at the American Indian.”
Henry Ford.
