Zombie Apocalypse

Today's post is written by guest blogger John Galt.  It's a humorous warning about a serious concern, mindless taxation and spending in Washington.

The zombie apocalypse has arrived.  In movies and on TV, zombies shuffle along in pursuit of mindless gratification at the cost of others.  There is no plan or coordination or end.  They feed off the flesh of others without remorse.  I’d say the same lack of remorse is true in the people that feed off the work of others.  There is no appreciation or compensation.  There is only the insatiable desire for more and more.  They are merely consumers providing no service or benefit. 

The zombie apocalypse is playing out right now in Washington, DC.  Our government demands more and more from the American workers in the form of fees and taxes.  Have you ever looked at your pay check and wondered who gets so much of it before you do?  Do you know where your tax dollars go?  What about sales tax, social security tax, user fees, road and bridges fees, hospital tax, metro tax, and taxes on utilities, alcohol, and gas?  Almost everything you do has a fee or tax taken off the top.  Where does that go and how does it really benefit you?   Would you like to have a say where your money goes? 

Well, you are feeding the zombies.  You have no control over how much you give and who gets it.  The more you work, the more you earn, the more that is taken.  You can try to outsmart the zombies, but at some point, they will get you unless you act.  For as long as you can, keep your head and alert the others.  Use your mind to prioritize what is important to you and where your money should go.  Tell everyone to send a letter to their representatives in Congress and the Senate.  Tell the President that enough is enough and you want a real, fiscally-responsible plan.  Use your mind while you still have one to find a cure for the zombie apocalypse. 

Just like in the movies, they will feed until there is no more to consume.  Lying down and covering your head won’t make them go away.  The people that take action and push back are the survivors.  Well, I challenge you to be a survivor.  Ask questions and make our elected officials accountable...before it is too late.
