Years ago I coined the phrase: The Free Store. Actually I had stolen it from a friend who'd mentioned it in jest. She has no clue those very words would be so famous or infamous.
According to her “The Free Store” was a literal store where one could go pick up stuff for free without being arrested. In short, it would be a shoplifters paradise, only they wouldn't have to shoplift. The so called customers would either be given what they wanted, or could take what they wanted, all for free.
In reality, a store like this would never exist for very long. People open stores in order to turn a profit, not to suffer a loss, and wind up in tremendous debt! Part of said profit must go towards paying rent/leases, utilities, vendors, employees and taxes. So it will be futile to even consider embarking on an adventure like this. Who in their right mind would......
The United States government is doing this right now!
Under the Obama administration, the amount of people receiving entitlements has ballooned dramatically and out of control. Millions of people who lost their jobs, became members of the Long Term Unemployed, lost their unemployment benefits and transitioned to what used to be called “Welfare” back in the day..... You get my drift?
Additionally our President has seen fit to increase or inflate the entitlement rolls by recruiting illegal aliens, advertising on television, and even recruiting in Mexico. Yes, I agree with what Mitt Romney said. To wit: Obama gave away “gifts” in order to get votes.
Is it any wonder Mexico's president is seriously considering changing his countries name to reflect that he considers Mexico as still part of Texas. I wonder what will it be? Obama-ville? Perhaps he is shilling for Mexico to become the 51st state instead of Puerto Rico.
Back on target, Sista......
As mentioned before, an enterprise like this cannot continue to operate indefinitely. Any well run charity organization will attest to the fact that if they don't have donors, and regular contributors, they cannot continue their work. Likewise with “The Free Store” that Obama has opened.
Entitlements are funded with taxpayer money. With the burgeoning unemployment rate, you have less and less taxpayers paying into the till, so eventually the aforementioned will run completely dry. This will happen despite the so called "confiscatory" higher taxes on the “rich”.
Folks, when the public teat runs dry, and millions get tossed off, and we will have riots in the streets like Greece. Remember those?
My fellow patriots, I don't want to see my beloved America come to that, but it is on the horizon. Why? Because many have replaced dependence upon God for our daily bread, with dependence on man and government for “a pittance and crumbs”.
The bible teaches time and time again, that dependence on man and government both enslaves us and give both ample opportunities to take advantage of/use us. I pray more of us learn this and wake up before it is too late.
