Social Security, Corruption, and My Lack of Readers

Two freakin' comments? Really, America?

OK.

1. Social Security. Not an easy fix. On the one hand, yes, give us our money back and let us have it to do with as we please...On the other hand, what happens when my generation gets old? They freaking starve, man. Social Security isn't really working, but it will be enough to keep me and the wife in cat food (so we don't starve) in case our kids are too poor, busy, or mean to take care of us when we're old.

I am still researching this issue, so I'm going to wait until I have an intelligent piece to present before I take it too far.

2. Corruption. Simple solution-Hanging...

Corruption in Congress is equal to treason, and so justifies the Death Penalty.

If we pay Congress the median income for a family of four for each district, outlaw lobbyists, and publicly execute those found guilty of treason, to include the taking of bribes, etc., lots of American problems would fix themselves.

This country is rife with corruption. Cops, Judges, Soldiers, reporters, Congressmen, Teachers-You name it. The problem is that there are no set values anymore. Everything is to be tolerated and accepted. Any intolerance is considered "judgmental" or "prejudice". America is turning a blind eye to the worst kind of behavior, all in the name of tolerance. People no longer take the law into their own hands because we believe it to be wrong. In the meantime, in communities like the one I live in, the local political and corporate corruption becomes a sad joke, due largely to the fact that no one feels like they can do anything about it.

So, Anonymous, here's your answer-If you want to stop corruption, you have to stand up to it. Vote out corrupt persons, call the proper authorities, do what has to be done. Looking to politicians ( or self-inflated bloggers) to stop corruption is counter-productive.

The only way to stop something from happening is to take action. Anything else is just a complaint after the fact.

And, see, once again the solution to one of Americas problems is for citizens to get involved and to take action.

...probably too much to ask...
