Parasites are devouring the host culture

A brief explanation of our country's present situation

The folks who are getting free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff claim they can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

The folks who are paying for the free stuff, want the free stuff to stop, but the folks who are getting the free stuff, want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they're getting already!

The people who are forcing  people to pay for the free stuff, have told the people who are receiving the free stuff, that the people who are paying for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced and racist.

As a result, the people who are getting the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff because they are selfish and they are promised more free stuff if they will vote for the people who force the people who pay for the free stuff to then give them even more free stuff.

Envy: the Root of Socialism and Economic Justice

by Aneel Aranha

St. Thomas Aquinas defines envy as "sorrow or sadness over another's good because that good is regarded as something withheld or taken away from the envious person's excellence or reputation." The CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church) puts it more simply: "It refers to the sadness at the sight of another's goods and the immoderate desire to acquire them for oneself, even unjustly. When it wishes grave harm to a neighbor, it is a mortal sin."

Do you sometimes think as you drive: "Why does my neighbor get to drive that lovely Mercedes, while I am saddled with this tin can?"

That's envy. And it's deadly. Like Basilea Schlink said, envy is like "a poisonous root in our soul that can kill others, and ourselves." Or, if you prefer Scriptural quotations, here's one from the Book of Proverbs: "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones" (Proverbs 4:30 NIV).

More federal workers' pay tops $150,000

by Dennis Cauchon

The number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has soared tenfold in the past five years and doubled since President Obama took office, a USA TODAY analysis finds.

The fast-growing pay of federal employees has captured the attention of fiscally conservative Republicans who won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in last week's elections. Already, some lawmakers are planning to use the lame-duck session that starts Monday to challenge the president's plan to give a 1.4% across-the-board pay raise to 2.1 million federal workers.

•Government-wide raises. Top-paid staff have increased in every department and agency. The Defense Department had nine civilians earning $170,000 or more in 2005, 214 when Obama took office and 994 in June.

•Long-time workers thrive. The biggest pay hikes have gone to employees who have been with the government for 15 to 24 years. Since 2005, average salaries for this group climbed 25% compared with a 9% inflation rate.

•Physicians rewarded. Medical doctors at veterans hospitals, prisons and elsewhere earn an average of $179,500, up from $111,000 in 2005.

A New Poster Boy for Greed & Arrogance

Unions conspire with politicians to rip off taxpayers

by John Stossel

Steve Melanga of the Manhattan Institute complains that politicians get union political support by granting government workers generous pensions and health benefits. After those politicians leave office, taxpayers are liable for trillions in unfunded promises.

"It's squeezing out all other spending," Melanga says. "Where are we going to get this $3 trillion dollars? ... When they're (government workers) allowed to retire at 58 and the rest of us are retiring at 60 and 67 -- and by the way we're living to 80 -- it's crazy. The public sector is the version of the European welfare state which, by the way, in Europe, they're actually rolling back."
