“It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.”

-Justice Robert H. Jackson

It was recently reported by essayist Jim Panyard, retired president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association, that:

“As of June 2009, 155 million people were laboring in the shrinking private sector of the American Empire with a per capita income of $39,751 and a per household income of $50,740.

In addition to supporting themselves and their dependents on those earnings, they were also supporting:

22.5 million government employees at the federal, state and local levels. The average pay of those on the federal government payroll is $75,419 this year, according to Econwatch. The story is much the same at the state and local levels. In Pennsylvania, for example, the average state employee has a pay package of about $68,000 per year, while the state’s household income is $48,576. (As an aside, there are only about 20 million jobs in the nation’s manufacturing and construction sectors, combined.)

3.9 million welfare recipients

46.5 million Social Security recipients, a number projected to rise to about 72 million in the next 20 years.

14.7 million Americans drawing unemployment benefits, with that number expected to rise consistently in the foreseeable future.

The productive sector workers are also paying for everything the Leviathan State does, such as wars, roads, Imperial adventures, private stadiums, bailouts, counterfeiting, ad infinitum. They also pick up the soaring tabs for 47 million Medicaid and 42 million Medicare recipients.”

Panyard goes on to ask the question,

“How can 155 million productive workers support themselves, nearly 100 million nonproductive others and a seemingly endless list of government endeavors?”

Darn good question…

The simple and obvious answer is, “They can’t.” The simple follow-up observation is, “They don’t have to keep trying to do so, either, nor should they.”

I QUIT !!!!

Maybe it is the losers who have four months to live…

I have to sue the college I studied at. I didn’t learn anything and can’t find work.
