IRONY: UNEXPECTED RESULTS

 IRONY: UNEXPECTED RESULTS

It’s the basic nature of irony to be humorous but when it comes to political purpose and result, it just isn’t the least bit funny.  One of our political party factions strives to portray the Elephant group as being uncaring, unsympathetic and its members as being incapable of empathy.  The Donkey group seems to extrapolate the Elephants immersion in reason and logic with a focus on actual results as being an indication of this cold-hearted beast.  The ironical part of this situation, from my viewpoint, is that the Elephant’s hard love approach and the Donkey’s buy the vote system, of promising the moon, places our country’s election season in jeopardy.  It is ironic that the system designed to give power to the people, freedom of speech has been allowed to deteriorate the safeguards our political guard dog, the free press, was expected to provide.  The power of manipulation and propagandic influence has been infecting our educational and media “mind meals” for far too long.  It is the time to bring back factual truth, country before party politic and the realization that our choices have decade long results.   

It's been one of the main sales techniques used since Oggh first wanted what Iggh possessed.  Igghs’ rock was bigger than Ogghs’ and the trick was for Oggh to come up with a way to posses Igghs rock.  Oggh thought and thought and then the light went off, he had the perfect thing to trade… fire. Oggh convinced Iggh that Oggh would give Iggh all the fire in trade for the big rock, and thus the first free for that act system was born.  The problem for Iggh was that Oggh did not actually own what he was trading, he could not control what he was giving and finally Iggh didn’t know how to control what he was getting in trade for his rock.  Some things never change.

Free is easy to sell, hard to provide, and often has unexpected results.  

Here are some of the Donkey’s wish list items.

·       FREE MEDICAL, one payer: U/R: less choice, fewer doctors, fewer hospitals

·       FREE COLLEGE:  U/R: higher taxation, less control over individual class choice

·       DEFUND POLICE: U/R… We are already seeing the sad effect this has on communities and cities.  Our neighborhoods that could actually benefit by increased police presence are being left without the protection needed to promote business growth.  This miss informed course of action puts families in peril. 

·       ELIMINATE FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY BASE: U/R…  This raises the cost of product in every spectrum of our society.  The cost of transporting product will rise exponentially.  The cost of residential heating and cooling will rise.  Costs thousands of jobs across all sectors of business.

·       SANCTUARY CITIES: U/R…  Uses resources that could be better spent on existing neighborhoods and citizenry.  Increases criminal potential in minority areas.

·       RAISE MINIMUM WAGE: U/R…  decreases job opportunity, increases cost of goods and services affect low income areas

·       INCREASE TAX ON BILLIONAIRES:  U/R… Increases cost of operating business and companies, costs are then passed on to consumers

·       GUN CONTROL:  U/R…  Erodes the second amendment to our constitution; gives illegal community dominance in weaponry

All of the above might sound like something you could advocate for or at least stomach if push came to shove but are the unintended results something you would expect?  Just about every one of the above items affects the minority members of our society in an adverse way.  The fact is that anything free has to be paid for by someone or some group.  Those costs are passed on to the end consumer.  In the case of the minimum wage those of less affluent means will be paying more for food, will find it more difficult to find employment.

Be careful what you wish for and make yourself aware of the logical consequence.
