Moron pathetically apathetic Americans

Well, well, well Ohio. What a fine job your citizens did Tuesday May 4th. What was may 4th one may ask? Don't feel bad, 77.70% of your fellow citizens didn't know or care what May 4th was either. You see, May 4th, 2010, Ohio held a primary election to help the various political parties voter's choose candidates they will run for the November 2, 2010 national election AND to vote on state and local ballot issues, for example; Ohio has what they call a third frontier program which supporters say help jobs come to Ohio. I have a different take of course, I see this and programs like it merely as corporate welfare. You see, the state, desperate to get corporations to set up shop here, decided to set up this fund, fueled by state bonds to bribe corporations to come here, by offering them lowered tax rates. Problems with this kind of scam are, 1) the bonds eventually come due and the tax payers are on the hook for the money which means the state raises various and sundry taxes to pay for them and, 2) the corporations use this very scam against the state by forcing the state to renew tax breaks in perpetuity on the threat of the corporation moving out of state so the state never receives full tax compensation from the corporations leading to even more burden placed upon the citizens.

Ohio had another statewide issue on the ballot as well. Issue 2 was an amendment to the Ohio Constitution to allow Penn Gaming to change the location of a planned casino in Columbus. Why the language that allowed Ohio to get casinos in the first place was set up to require statewide participation in a very local issue such as placement of a casino is beyond me, what a waste of ink on all those ballots , not to mention advertising dollars that had to be spent to promote this issue to rest of the state that really does not care where Columbus puts their casino! The issue did pass so they can change the location of the planned casino.

School districts love using the primary election to try to pass more levies because they feel their chances are better with a smaller voting block, which is actually the main point of my diatribe today that I will return to in a bit. Our local school district tried to scam the voters into voting themselves a 1% income tax increase with the promise of reducing property taxes. I found upon closer inspection of this scam that, while yes, they were going to lower our property taxes, by 1/2 to 3/4% meaning that overall, voters would have been voting themselves an 1/4% tax increase initially, however, when your income goes up so does your income tax so it would be an even higher increase that would rise forever, as long as you kept getting raises. Fortunately the voters of our district overwhelmingly voted against their ruse, by nearly a three to one margin. now on to the main reason for my diatribe this day.

Ohio had 8,017,517 eligible registered voters on May 4, 2010. Yet only 1,787,952 of them decided to show up! So 22.3% of the people get to decide issues for the whole state?! WTF?! All this complaining and hand wringing I've been hearing since chairman maobama and his communist cohorts somehow got the retards of this nation to elect them in 2008, and only 22.3% of Ohioans show up in the first election since the obamanation?! I don't want to hear any more tea partier's saying a word. If those folks alone would have showed up the numbers wouldn't have been so even as far whom voted for republicrats and democans. Furthermore, if those tea party folks are so truly sick of BOTH parties then why didn't the Libertarian party do better? The numbers for the Libertarians, whom did field quality candidates, were abysmal at best. In my own congressional district 67,732 votes were cast and only 380 went to the Libertarian candidates and the rest being pretty evenly split between the usual suspects from the republicrats and the demoncans! So, tea partiers, STFU! If you folks truly want a change in politics then vote Libertarian, it is after all, the party closest to our Founding Fathers own philosophy, if you choose to read true history about our genius founders! Our brilliant founders also had the fore site to predict that an apathetic uninformed populace would lead to the demise of our once great free nation. How right they were! We are well on our way to becoming a third world shit hole and if our government is not stopped, that will happen sooner not later! My own county only came in slightly better than the state numbers with a whopping 24% turnout, neighboring Lucas county came in at an abysmal 16.6%, but the winner, actually loser of the apathetic Ohioans contest is Lawrence county with a pathetic 10.1% turnout.

Our government has amassed debt that is truly unimaginable! We will never be able to pay it off especially if the people do not have the will to remove the politicians responsible for continuing this cycle of borrowing and spending. Does anyone realize that our federal government is already borrowing money just to service the debt. That means, they are borrowing money JUST to pay the interest on our debt. So many morons out there are clamoring for nationalized health care, nationalized this and that, that it makes me sick to think where this will actually lead. As the great Margaret Thatcher (for the many that don't know- she was the brilliant former prime minister of Great Britain) once said: " Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money"! Truer words have not been spoken, unfortunately none of our own politicians are saying it. They are continuing to spew their bile of vote for us and we will give you more of someone else's money, knowing full well the hell that will lead us to eventually. I do understand that our politicians truly do not care about our people nor our nation. They only are concerned with getting re-elected so they can remain living off the fat of the land provided for them by those whom have no power to take it back from them, because it seems the majority of pathetically apathetic Americans won't stop them if their lives depended on it. So what the hell is your problem America? Look around the world, every nation whose people think their governments should "take care of them" from the cradle to the grave are failing and failing miserably, look at the strife in Greece. What's that all about? Well, for decades the government, chosen by the people has been "taking care" of the people from cradle to grave and now they are out of money. So in steps the international community. The internationalists tell the Greek government that if Greece wishes to receive any bailout funds that they will have to go on a diet so to speak. That means, the welfare programs have to be massively cut or they will receive no help. What happens is predictable by anyone with a modicum of common sense. The folks that have been on the receiving end of the something for nothing socialist program are pissed because they still want their free hand outs, they "deserve" the handouts. So, since the Greek government has told them no more, they are rioting, destroying their own cities. THIS WILL COME TO AMERICA IF WE DON'T CHANGE OUR GOVERNMENT FOLKS! Believe me when I say, I am in no means telling folks to vote for republicrats! They have had just as big a role in creating this mess as the democans! I am saying only vote for candidates that support and will uphold the Constitution of the United States of America! It really is that simple. But as I see Ohio as a microcosm of the nation, 20-25% of folks will turn out in the primaries nationwide to continue the same old republicrat/demoncan song and dance and we will become Greece sooner rather than later!
