Basic Formula Followed in Destruction of U.S.

This is a simple explanation of why America is being destroyed from within.

The following is a formula way too many young folks are following, though immoral and unethical, it’s legal and encouraged by the government.

1. Don’t marry the girl.

2. Use your mom’s address to get mail sent to.

3. Guy buys a house.

4. Rents out the house to his girlfriend who has two, maybe more, of his children.

5. Section 8 will pay $900 a month for a three-bedroom home

6. Girlfriend signs up for Obamacare so guy doesn’t have to pay for family insurance.

7. Girlfriend gets to go to college free for being a single mom

8. Girlfriend gets $600 a month for food stamps.

9. Girlfriend gets free cell phone.

10. Girlfriend gets free utilities

11. Guy moves into home but uses mom’s address to get mail sent to.

12. Girlfriend claims one kid and guy claims one kid on taxes. Now both get to claim head of household, an $1,800 credit

13. Girlfriend gets disability for being “crazy” or having a “bad back” at $1,800 a month and never has to work again.

So, let’s add it all up. An unmarried couple with stay at home mom([baby-maker) nets:

$21,600 disability

$10,800 free housing

$6,000 free Obamacare 

$6,000 free food

$4,800 free utilities

$6,000 Pell grant money to spend

$12,000 a year in college tuition free from Pell grant

$8,800 tax benefit for being a single mother 

The grand total equals $75,000 a year in benefits.

A married couple with a stay-at-home mom yields $0.00.



 Think about this, you few honest, hard-working Americans as you prepare to do your taxes.

No Such Thing as a Free Lunch; No One Can Do Something Cheaper Than You

Today in America the problem is that the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

There was a chemistry professor in a large college who 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 putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. 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 cuts, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:

(1) There is no such thing as a free lunch

(2) You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

May God help you when the gate slams shut!
