"Less Government, More Military" & Other Popular American Riddles That Have Me Stumped
04 January 2013
By Jane Stillwater
My friend RJ at http://www.topplebush.com/ just sent
me a very interesting riddle: "Why are right-wingers
always talking about cutting down on government
spending and 'red tape' yet never ever try to cut down
on military spending? Aren't the armed forces part of
the government too?" Ya got me stumped there.
Here's another riddle I can't seem to solve: How come
us salt-of-the-earth American types who protest
against all the banksters' outrageous crimes get
thrown in jail, while the criminals themselves are
given "get out of jail free" cards like it was
Christmas? Except, of course, for Martha Stewart.
More riddles: "Why is it okay for Al Qaeda to be the
good guys in Syria and Libya -- but are the bad guys
in Lower Manhattan?" I'm all confused.
Why is it okay to tax middle-income Americans for an
arm and a leg but not okay to tax rich people? "I
wonder." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMHdq4jm0oQ
How come everybody bitches and moans about the obesity
epidemic and the cancer epidemic and the heart attack
epidemic and the autism epidemic and the bi-polar
epidemic but still live on junk food, never exercise
and watch too much TV? And still have enough balls
left to complain about single-payer healthcare? Can
someone please explain this? http://www.indiegogo.com/SuperFatSeries
How come American taxpayers get to pay for the costs
of demolishing Christian and Muslim homes in East
Jerusalem yet can't get any tax relief when our own
homes are being demolished in Detroit and Cincinnati?
How come statistics (and election results and Fox
News) show that Americans are definitely being dumbed
down these days, but no one wants to spend any money
on improving American kindergartens -- let alone on
upgrading our colleges. What ever happened to Sputnik?
Why do people fear climate change so much but still
happily drive their gas-hogs around like there's no
tomorrow?
How come I can't resist playing free-cell solitaire by
the hour when I should be out doing the laundry and
saving the world?
How can anybody in their right mind vote for any
candidate that spends millions of dollars on getting
elected? You would think that if a politician had that
kind of money he (or she) might want to just retire to
the Bahamas. Or give it to us.
"Why does America need to own approximately 800
military bases throughout the 'Free World'?" Hell, if
the freaking world is all that free, surely it doesn't
need all those American soldiers to keep it in line?
And why does all this so-called freedom always end up
costing us taxpayers trillions of dollars as well?
And how come most of "our" jobs are now located in
places like China, Haiti and Burma? Isn't that a
really long commute?
And please explain the riddle of how all the top
American industrial jobs here at home are now mostly
being performed by prison labor? While the 1% sucks
down Oxycontin and Prozac legally and the rest of us
all get busted for using medical marijuana -- just to
make sure they have a large enough prison labor supply
in jails?
And why are American labor unions that help the
working class being given such a bum rap, but when
Wall Street and War Street form unions that destroy
the fabric of America's economy, it's called
"Capitalism" and "Showing Initiative" -- not welfare
for the rich?
And why are the RepubliDems always saying that the
fiscal cliff is a bad thing? If it is spozed to be
such a terrible disaster, then why in the freak did
they create it in the first place?
And why does 2013 still feel so much like 2012?
