Censorship is required for socialism to work.  This was a standard in the old USSR and continues today in China.  The only way to keep a populace peaceful under communism or socialism is to deny them the truth.  It happens here as well, just look at how our media is controlled.

See China’s most recent censorship move, here.

94 Million Americans are not working and are no longer looking for a job and nearly half of those are living below the poverty line.  That fact in the wealthiest country in the world is appalling.   The effort to raise up the poor has resulted in an increase in poor and struggling Americans.  That is the economic history of the last 8 years.  Still, if you are one of those people that are struggling there are things you can do to change your life.

It is not, as the media would have you believe a matter of taking stuff from the wealthy so you can have more.  Bringing the wealthy down does nothing to bring you up. It just makes them less interested in investing in others.  Bringing you up requires a change in thinking.  Instead of your poverty being about them, make it about you.  You are struggling because you do not have enough resources (income) coming in.  The only problem you have to solve is that of increasing your income.  Do that sufficiently and you become well off.  Continuing to depend on government, charity or handouts will leave you continuing to struggle.

The first and most effective way to change your cycle of poverty is through work.  But what if you can only make minimum wage, why take that job?  Minimum wage jobs are stepping stones that allow you to learn a skill.  The skill results in more pay. That increase in pay comes from the current employer who appreciates what you do or from another employer that wants the talent you have acquired.  That talent is a “SKILL”.  That is what employers pay for.  That skill may be learned on the job by understanding a specific product, how to cook special meal, selling products,  helping customers etc.  Or that “SKILL” may come from  education where you went back to school to learn nursing, computer programming, office skills, graphic design etc. The range is huge and is dependent on your passions and goals.

Working almost always results in higher pay over time. Those that have developed skill and started down a path that increases those skills commonly increase their income quickly over the initial years of that career.  It has been sometime ago, but as I returned to work after a failed business I went from minimum wage to many times that in just a few short years.  Having the minimum wage job opened the door for other opportunities. That is still true today.

If you are stuck in a cycle of wallowing in dependency and poverty, the way out is simple, even in this economy.  Don’t worry about how others are doing, worry about doing well yourself.  There is nothing wrong with starting or restarting as I did at minimum wage.  That process alone opens the door for huge changes.  If you are tired of being poor, of struggling then commit to changing your life.  Government and others will not solve this issue for you.  The simplest solution to poverty is work. In America that has always been the case.

The US Border patrol has been ordered to release the immigrants they catch and to not track them afterward.  In order to accommodate the expected explosion of immigrants the federal government is requesting that each citizen purchase two full size blow up beds that can be used for housing.

Since the uptick in tuberculosis and lice is overwhelming health officials across the country.  the Department of the Homeland has assured us that any infestation caused by housing infected persons in your home will be fully covered by Obamacare.  Please check with your state exchange as regards any restrictions.

All citizens will be required to learn Spanish and Farsi  in order to facilitate the immigrant’s needs and to aid them in applying for benefits.   Should any immigrant have weapons or explosives the citizen is urged not to report this as to not anger the immigrant.  These are considered required for the immigrant to protect themselves from the hateful and evil American citizen.

Complaints will be resolved by the Department of the Homeland after a filing fee of $1000 per complaint.  All complaints are expected to be resolved this century.

After a series of subway stabbings New York City mayor Bill De Blasio has put forth an ordinance to ban all knives within the 5 borough New York City area.  The ordinance, stating the need to protect the public from future subway slashers, asks citizens to bring their knives to City Hall.

Bill Bratton, the city’s top cop, has been asked to include the confiscation of knives as part the normal patrol regimen.   Seen as a side benefit, the consumption of meats in New York City is expected to be greatly reduced.    In order to facilitate the collection of these dangerous weapons, those with criminal records will be paid for their knives in the NYC Knife Buy Back program, non criminals would be given a one time gift card for a 32 oz coke.

The mayor has stated that he expects this ordinance to save lives.  He is further considering a blunt object ban as well.  When asked about violence committed by people using their bare hands, he said that sort of ordinance would just not be practical.  He would recommend removal of any hands or feet found to have committed a crime.  The city would not be using the confiscated knives for this.

All this is designed, he said, to make New York City the safest place on earth.  (satire)

There once was a man named Marcus,
He was third in the Iowa Caucus,
He thinks he can win,
By letting all the immigrants in,
So he has taken all the cash,
So the donors just have to ask,
And slave Rubio does the task.

It must be tough to be bought,
People  think you a louse,
It’s not like your doing what you ought,
It’s  your reputation that’s been caught.

But Marcus has had his say,
From the gang of eight
He promoted open borders each day,
Now he has another chance with fate,
Illegals are coming at a unstoppable rate.

VOTE Rubio…………… NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There once was a man named Trump,
He thought he would be king,
He’d say what people wanted to hear,
But had no values he held dear,
So he’d lead America into tears.

Sarah Palin thought he would be nice,
After Trump paid for her voice,
She spoke about what a great guy he was,
He would make this country great,
That was to be Donald’s fate.

But Trump is still a big government man,
He is a single payer health care fan,
He thinks abortion is apple pie,
so while making deals more babies will die,
but in Iran they’ll run from his orange tan.

So vote for Trump,
if you are down it the dumps,
Hail his majesty King Don,
while you are getting Don King,
Hype master and ding-a-ling.
