Friday Ponderings

“Workers are usually paid based on their production; the Congress seems to be paid in spite of the complete lack of it.”

“At times it seems that the Republicans and the Tea Party wing of the party are headed off a cliff; perhaps the wise thing for the Democrats would be to not get in their way.”

“At any given time, 100,000 viewers are watching the Decorah Eagles; another good spot to watch ‘birds feathering their own nest’ is C-Span’s coverage of Congress.”

“The community of fools might be small if it were not such an accomplished proselytizer.”

“Experience is the ability to recognize a mistake when you make it again.  Wisdom is the ability to recognize a mistake before you make it.”

“A fool will argue with a signpost – a wise man will read it first.”

“If members of Congress are elected to serve the people – why is it that I feel I’m being serviced rather than served?”

Wasteland of the Free

Nowadays, it seems that working people are getting the blame for all our ills.

Working people  want a living wage - they can't afford to pay it.

Billlionaires ride on yachts - working people ride on worn out shoe leather.

Working people pay their taxes - rich people get a free ride.

The rich get to live 'The American Dream' - working people get to live for the next paycheck.
