The Face of Politics
I have struggled as of late to find an adequate description of the current state of politics in the US.
Today, I had an epiphany…and here is the result.
A Democrat is standing at my front door. He has a line of people behind him, all of whom need or want something. He is explaining to me why it is in my best interest to give him my money to help all of those people in line behind him, and by doing so, help myself.
Standing beside me on my front porch is a Republican. He points out all of the reasons that I shouldn’t trust the Democrat to spend my money wisely…”It would simply be throwing good money after bad.” he argues.
While the Republican waives his arms in the air and rails against the Democrat’s policies, his buddies are coming out the back of my house carrying all of my fucking stuff.
