INTERGENERATIONAL CANNIBALISM

By Dave Buhlman

So you’re a member in good standing of AARP, the leading proponent of socking it to your children and grandchildren, and you’ve just attended a nice birthday party for your seven year old grandson. Your social security and/or pension checks are rolling in, the house you bought in 1966 is all paid for, and you’re planning the next vacation to some faraway destination.

Life is good.

You paid about 40 percent of your income over those forty years to the various government protection racketeers, and yet were able to end up all right financially. That’s due in large part to being born at the right time and starting married life/buying a house when the dollar was relatively stable. That stability continued long enough for you to get settled in comfortably with a monthly principle, interest and property tax bill of just over two hundred dollars for a house that cost $15,500 in 1966. You were even able to buy a vacation home on Cape Cod, bending elbows at the local gin mill with some of the slickest politicians in the world – Massachusetts legislators.

And you love your children and grandchildren, and will leave them all that you have upon your passing. Your houses, bank accounts, IRAs, 401ks, and jewelry will all be theirs, at least what’s left of them. But the other item you and your friends who run the Abominable Association of Reprobate Pretenders will leave these innocents is a mountain of debt.

So, as you hug that precious seven year old grandson, tell him how social security must never be tampered with, and that we need endless war and troops in 130 countries in order to be safe. Tell him that you put the cost of the sheiks, shirkers, charlatans and shysters on the big credit card issued by the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank to the federal government. Add that when he starts his working career, with about two hundred grand of college debt on his back, he will be forced to pay the government fifty to sixty percent of his income to support social security, military adventuring, welfare bums on Wall Street and Main Street, and medical and dental care for illegal immigrants and congressmen. Tell him the truth, but without actually gnawing on a piece of his arm flesh. That would be too obvious.

The acknowledged debt is about nine trillion dollars. When the unfunded liabilities, such as social security and Medicare are factored in, this debt balloons to about sixty trillion. His share will be…a lot. As this debt grows and the Fed intervenes, the value of the dollar continues to drop meaning that all purchases cost more. For those who can pass off these increased costs, things are manageable. But for those who cannot, including the vast majority of Americans who work to survive, things get real tight. So they borrow, and borrow some more, emulating the solons in Washington City. The solons, however, have the taxes of about a hundred twenty million people as collateral for the debt they put on our backs, while too many Americans have only a dwindling paycheck to back up their borrowing.

But it’s important for you to support a safe candidate for president in 2008, one that won’t rock this Titanic load of funny money and irresponsibility. Neat Romney, Julie-Annie (thanks, Devvy), and Queen Hillary have given the necessary assurances to the money power that things will roll right along, even if they have to roll over your precious grandson.

You will be sure to scoff when you’re with your friends, at presidential candidate Ron Paul, who wants to bring America back to our core values – sound money via the abolition of the Fed Bank, no empire and its associated bloodletting, a severely reduced federal government, no income tax, and the reestablishment of the freedoms we had in 1912, the year before the twin monsters of the income tax and the Fed bank were created by Washington City. But when you’re alone and you see a Ron Paul ad, and think about where we are as a country, compared to when you were growing up, you will know that he’s right. Please follow that through with a vote for him in the Republican primary, even if you have to switch your registration to do so. Give that grandson a chance, and maybe even prevent him from having his guts blown out as a brave grunt in a 2020 UN assault on Uzbeckapoo.
