bits & pieces    “ Six Conundrums 1. America is called capitalist and greedy – but half the population is subsidized  2. Half the population are subsidized – but they consider themselves victims  3. They believe they are being victimized – but their representatives in Congress run the government 4. Representatives in Congress run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer 5.

They have things that people in other countries can only dream about – yet they want the US to be more like those other countries So who’s doing the freakin math here! And a couple more things: 1.
