Maybe the longest name in history
or close to it. It’s a Native Indian
name for a lake now known as Lake Webster but the Nipmuc Indians
had named it long before it became Lake Webster.
Stories and legend suggest there
were different tribes on each side of the lake who constantly battled over the
fishing rights on the lake. The solution
was apparently decided upon when the leaders of the tribes agreed that each
tribe would fish THEIR side of the lake and NO ONE would fish the
MIDDLE. Is that really true? Who knows; it makes for a good storyline. Thus, they named the lake: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg;
you fish your side, I fish my side, no one fishes the middle!
It also makes for a significant metaphor
for America in 2024. How so? Glad you asked!
Step 1: Divide people into
three very distinct categories as if they don’t already exist in
America.
·
Rich/Elites: Politicians, royalty, heads of corporations,
grossly overpaid actors, athletes and entertainers
·
Poor:
Anyone making less than minimum wage, anyone relying 100% on government subsidies
or those receiving life support from charities, the jobless, the homeless, the
people living solely on Social Security and or who have no visible income
whatsoever. And of course, the person
who believes that if you make $1.00 more than they make, they are in the rich
category. You get the picture and I have no desire to lump you or anyone into
any specific category; that’s not the point.
·
Middle Class: Everyone in between the
Elites and the Poor in America. They are not wealthy nor are they poor and they
typically live a comfortable life. But oftentimes
they live payday to payday with very little discretionary funds. They are like the middle of the lake;
undisturbed and in their own world.
Using Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg as an example, the “elites”
would live on one side of the lake, the “poor” on the other side. The vast center of the lake would be the
Middle Class. The “elites of the country
have no desire to ever become one of the Middle Class or the Poor. The poor on the other hand have every desire
to become either a member of the middle class or the elite class. As for the Middle-Class majority, who reside
in the middle of the lake, they are “comfortable” where they are! It’s better known as complacency. That would explain why so many Americans,
certainly not you, seem to be satisfied where they are and keep their heads
buried in the sand regarding world events, national, state and local politics. POLITICS, the ONE THING that determines everyone’s futures but many
can’t seem to see the forest for all of the trees. How else can you explain away the malaise
that has become middle class America in 2024?
You stay on your side; I’ll stay on my side and the rest can best fend
for themselves in the middle.
What’s wrong with this graphic? Squire wheels? Round wheels in the cart? Three men pushing, one man pulling? If one or more of those suggestions is your answer, you missed the “Big Picture!”
THEY ARE SATISFIED
WITH THEIR PROGRESS!
THEY DO NO THINK
OUT-SIDE-THEIR BOX!
THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE
DIRECTIONS OF ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP!
THEY LACK CURIOSITY!
THEY LACK INGENUITY!
Nothing will ever
change until “We The People” get up off of our collective asses and get
involved even if it is just researching the BS that streams out of
Washington! Get to really know your
candidates before you just vote for the “small d” or the “small r” after their
names. Read and understanding any
amendments on the ballot BEFORE you get into the voting booth. Become an informed voter before you lose the
ability to do so!
This has never been more evident than in the 2024
Presidential Election. One side appears
to cater to the elites of the country while the other side is trying to unite
the poor and middle class together to fight off the unwanted policies created
by the elites at the top, OF BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES. It was not that many years ago, the Democrat
Party was for the “little man” the “blue collar workers? During that same period the Republican Party
was considered to favor big business and the Country Club Set. Those rolls have been completely flipped
upside down in 2024. If you think there
is a difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties, you are badly
mistaken. In the end, they both want to
spend YOUR money on needless projects and foreign wars. This has never been more obvious than to
realize how much money YOU and I have GIVEN to Israel and
Ukraine to ensure that the wars will continue.
At the very same moment in time, we are shamelessly mis-treating our
veterans (see the following link to a documentary that provides video evidence
of just how badly that treatment has been).
This all occurring while we are NOT securing hundreds of miles of
our Southern Border where millions of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS have
crossed over and an untold quantity of deadly drugs having been smuggled into
our country. The result? Over 250,000 Americans have died using these
drugs.
I sincerely hope you watch this video regarding
veterans and how they have been treated by THEIR employer, OUR
GOVERNMENT! SHOCKING! https://rumble.com/v4w5pqe-documentary-american-veterans-discarded-and-forgotten.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0AmJ4U2oCU9pbaJoMiLvdi1l7AwNPbF8ut5-cA9DYW57BAoz4Wo93vqlU_aem_K6bUnAcZt3TD0Nzb6HjC7Q
None of this makes for any common sense. People have taken sides as if THEIR
side is the ONLY side that is correct.
Therefore, “you fish your side, I’ll fish my side and no one will touch
the center or middle ground. While this
principle may have worked in the 1700s, it is very much flawed in 2024! The middle ground has been eliminated.
Here is the way politics actually works. One side (A) wants something so they push
forward with their idea. The other side (B) naturally will fight against it
because it came from their opponents (A).
It doesn’t matter if the bill is good, bad, ugly or more importantly salvageable
(compromise). Then side B begins pushing
back to Side A all the while A is sliding more towards side B. It is a case of push and shove until one side
reaches their red line that they refuse to cross. More red lines have halted progress for
decades upon decades. Case in point, the
Southern Border. Name just one person
who believes that trafficking children and Fentanyl across the border into the
states is a good thing, just one! No one
knows for certain what happens to the thousands upon thousands of children that
go missing; that alone should be a criminal act! As for The Fentanyl, it’s been estimated that
over 250,000 Americans have died from Fentanyl poisoning and that is a low
number. Tell me: WHO WOULD BE AGAINST STOPPING THIS LUNACY?
This should not be a political
issue; it’s black and white no matter what so many political parasites want to
convince you to otherwise believe. There
have been many elected officials, local, state, and Federal, but especially
Federal beginning at the White House, have been committing acts of treason
against the Constitution of the United States.
There is an ongoing invasion happening along the border states and no
one in power seems to give a shit. If
that offends you, GREAT, it SHOULD!
America has problems, name a
country that doesn’t. The question of
the day is why do “We The People” continue to send so much money, so many
weapons, tons of armor and thousands of our own blood and guts to foreign lands
to fight or support some conflict(s) that have nothing to do with the safety of
the United States? What are the some of
the problems that money could have been better spent on here at home? So glad you asked, let me count the ways and
they are not necessarily in order of priority but pretty close nor are they the
ONLY ones that exist:
·
SECURE SOUTHERN BORDER
·
FIND AND HELP HOMELESS VETERANS ON THE GOVERNMENT’S
DIME, NOT CHARITY!
·
REMOVE THE USA FROM THE UN
·
REMOVE THE USA FROM THE WHO
·
FORM BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH CANADA AND MEXICO
·
WORK TOWARDS ELIMINATING THE MEXICAN DRUG
CARTELS
· ELIMINATE INCOME TAXES, LOCAL, STATE AND
FEDERAL. CREATE A SALES TAX ON PRODUCTS AND SERVICES EXCLUDING ESSENTIALS LIKE
FOOD AND MEDICINE
· AUTOMATICALLY REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT BY NO LESS THAN 10% OR MORE!
· PASS LEGISLATION OR CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION TO
IMPOSE TERM LIMITS FOR EVERYONE IN GOVERNMENT, CONGRESS, WHITE HOUSE AND THE
SUPREME COURT.
· PASS LEGISLATION OR CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION THAT
WOULD REQUIRE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ARRANGE AND FUND THEIR OWN RETIREMENT
PLANS.
·
PASS LEGISLATION OR CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION THAT
REQUIRES MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO PARTAKE OF THE SAME HEALTH CARE THEY IMPOSE ON
WE THE PEOPLE.
· PASS LEGISLATION OR CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
REQUIRING ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS TO PLACE THEIR FINANCIAL PORTFOLIOS INTO A
TRUST WHILE SERVING IN OFFICE TO AVOID THE APPEARANCE OF INSIDER TRADING.
· CREATE A SPECIAL OVERSIGHT AND APPROVAL OFFICE
THAT REVIEWS REQUESTS FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL AND WHO CAN ATTEND AND HOW THEY WILL
TRAVEL ALONG WITH AN APPROVED BUDGET FOR EACH TRIP.
· ONCE AND FOR ALL, CREATE A COMMITTEE TO DRAFT
IMMIGRATION LAWS AND THEN ENFORCE THEM. THESE LAWS SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE
PROVISIONS TO TRACK “OVER STAYS.”
IMMIGRATION IS A GOOD THING BUT IT SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT AND FAIR AND
LEGAL!
· PAY BACK INTO THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT ALL OF
THE MONEY THAT WAS TAKEN FROM IT; PLUS,
INTEREST!!!!!
FINALLY;
PICK A VICE PRESIDENT WHO HAS THE QUALITIES AND INTELLECT TO ACTUALLY BECOME
PRESIDENT SHOULD THE OCCASION EVER ARISE.
DON’T
PICK A VICE PRESIDENT JUST TO CHECK OFF A BOX!
DON’T
PICK ONE THAT MAY GET YOU SOME FIRGGIN VOTES!
