WVSU Yellow Jacket — Vote for Al Gore or don't vote at all
By Sean Rose
The United States presidential election is quickly approaching, and I see a close race coming right down to the wire. People arguing, getting excited and running rampant through the streets shouting their candidates name is not uncommon these days. Hell, I even got a call from Barbara Bush telling me how great her son is.
OK, first thing, like she is a credible person to tell ME of her son’s character. Second, I wanted to be rudely interrupted at dinner. Gee Barb, since you were so sweet on the phone, you can kiss where the sun don’t shine, but just once, because I don’t want anyone to see us.
Not to lose focus though . . . it’s unclear to me why the race is so close. Neither party has a decent candidate or platform, but the lesser of the two evils is fairly obvious. Bush is scary. WAY scary.
Before we continue, I’d like to hold a quick simple history lesson. "Why did the pilgrims come to America?" — TO BE FREE AND NOT PERSECUTED. "Why did we separate from Great Britain and write the Constitution and Bill of Rights?" UHM . . . LONGER BUT STILL EASY . . . TO BE FREE AND TO SEPARATE CHURCH FROM STATE SO THAT EVERY PERSON MAY BE FREE TO SPEAK, BELIEVE AND LIVE AS AN EQUAL NO MATTER WHAT CONVICTIONS, SKIN COLOR OR BACKGROUND THEY MIGHT HAVE OR BE. "Weren’t we really glad to vote George Bush out of office?" — OH DEAR YES!! YES!! AMERICA THREW HIS BUTT OUT ON THE STREET IN A HURRY AND WITH A GREAT LONG SIGH.
So what happened to the people that have made them forget that we wanted Bush out of office so bad? Oh, wait, they aren’t the same person. Yeah, you’re right. This is the cocaine snorting, alcohol drinking slacker son that would never have achieved what his father did, had it not been for his father. My bad. Excuse me.
"Like father, like son." Both are, as some say, "SKULLS." Members of the power elite that run the country behind the scenes. Conspiracy theory . . . bad movie plot . . . drugs? And the family values working class people of America want this guy in office? Who did they pay off? Seriously, I want to know . . .
One thing is for sure, little Bush went to Yale and SKULL or NO SKULL, and he got in because of an affirmative-action program. He made bad grades . . . just like he had before. Now, he’s opposed to affirmative action and would like to see it go away. I think I can here him say, "I got mine." Besides, who cares about the minorities anyway, right? I’m white so I should just side with Bush and be done with it, just like everyone else.
That’s not all. Bush has also said some doozy quotes over the race. They are all over the net. My favorite is, "there ought to be limits to freedom." And the American public wants to elect this man to lead the cornerstone of the free world. By the way, you can hear this quote for yourself from my website at this URL -> http://www.cycline3.com/bush.mp3.
Bush can’t speak English well, but he’s personable . . . and he sounds better on the radio than Gore. I’ll give him that. I’m not talking ideas . . . I mean the tone of his voice and how it carries. Evidently, I vastly undervalued that. I didn’t know how a man sounds could affect his ability to steer 300 million people into the digital utopian future. Oops. My bad again.
The man has no compassion. Bush has landed the state of Texas in several lawsuits for ignoring evidence brought before him in death row cases. The man enjoys capital punishment. The state of Texas has put more people to death under Bush than they had in running total. Fine, great . . . they deserved it, you say. Maybe so. But what about the people whose attorney’s presented sufficient evidence to warrant postponing their execution date so that the case may be reviewed? Na, they’re wrong. Kill them anyway. Now, the state of Texas has the chance to lose multi-million dollar lawsuits. But I don’t guess Bush would care, he’s got bigger and better plans . . . does it even matter to you that those people may have been innocent after all? Do you understand that?
One more thing. Bush mocked Karla Faye Tucker’s plea, "please don’t kill me." Mocked. As in sarcastically saying, "please don’t kill me." All on the record. He might as well have said, "F*&^ the dumb b&^%*, she deserved to die. "Don’t believe me? The scan of the article is here -> http://www.cycline3.com/bushfun.jpg.
Still want to elect this man? You still aren’t scared? How about economics? You are interested in the country doing well and maybe getting a piece of the pie too? Right? Right?
For those of you who are ignorant enough to think that a smaller government is better . . . THE MACROECONOMIC U.S. ECONOMY DOES NOT WORK LIKE YOURS OR MY ECONOMY. Every person I pay doesn’t automatically turn right around and pay me back a portion of that money. So if I spend all my money I’m broke. End of story. No more money for Sean unless I do more work.
Now, it’s different for Uncle Sam. Let us say Uncle Sam borrows $10 from Bank A. Uncle Sam goes and spends half of it and loans out half of it to a new business owner. The first half goes to buy something. That business pays business and occupational taxes. They buy goods and pay sales tax. They pay employees. The employees pay income tax. The employees go buy things and pay sales tax. The business deposit money and make interest. They pay income tax. The business again pay employees and on and on. Much money in taxes comes back to the government via a simple $5.
Now, the second $5 is even better. Because everything that happens above happens, as well as, the borrower pays back the $5 plus interest. So now, Uncle Sam has WAY over the $10 . . . he pays the bank back plus interest and still has money. Then guess what. The bank pays taxes again and they pay employees again. They pay taxes and that $10 plus interest is coming back to Uncle Sam again.
The U.S. economy is only good when money is circulating. The government is far more efficient at spending money than you or I. Paying $400 for a hammer, that’s fine. Not because $400 for a hammer is a good deal, but because of the above mentioned principle. So cutting back government is very bad. Not to mention the government provides programs, roads and things on top of making all this big money flow. Do you know what a small inefficient government makes? — Third world countries.
If you don’t want to vote for Gore because he is the better choice, do it because Bush is very scary. If that’s not enough, do it for your wallet and the welfare of the rest of the country. If that’s not enough either, then I beg you, please don’t vote at all. Because if you do, you won’t have any room to complain when Bush takes us on a road trip through hell. And I won’t have any second thoughts to call you names and taunt "I told you so" while I steal your lunch money.
