Pride Before the Fall

While food stamps have increased by nearly 500% in the last five years, Cabelas stock has also increased by over 500%.  I see a correlation here, but it's not a comforting thought at all.  Shouldn't the increase of sales of "living off the land" supplies have reduced the number of people dependent up the government?  How could both increase by about the same percentage?  While we're watching the red and blue game in Washington, I think we need to start taking notice of the true division of the people and where the money is going.  

Another horrific fact that needs to be brought to light.  The official amendment that brought us “Federal Income Tax” was signed the same year the Federal Reserve was established, 1913.  I encourage you to check out the Federal Reserve just a bit.  It reads like it was set up to run 100 years, and this latest Washington Theatrics has resulted in an agreement with no debt ceiling, but a time deadline, just beyond the centennial anniversary of the Federal Reserve.

People become afraid to seek medical help without coverage and become more impoverished if they do have coverage.   Mandated coverage is now law, so no coverage is now punishable by law.  

We have become proud of our arrogance and lost our shame of begging.  We brag of self-reliance and place our faith in the "advanced" wisdom of man.

Proverbs tells us that pride goes before the fall, and we have been a proud nation, and proud to call ourselves proud . . .
