Shut Down?...Shut up!

Why is the idea of a government shutdown such a touchy subject? Let me tell you. Do you remember the old story about the Goose that laid the golden egg. The owner (representing U.S. politicians )liked the golden eggs (representing the U.S);because they made him rich and with riches came power and with power came control. (this symbolizes the politicians of the U.S. Government).Well he became so enamored with his riches that he began spending more of his riches, and giving his wealth away to people and nations that bathed his ego. Then he decided he wanted more of riches, and power and control. and this gave him such pleasure he decided that more of all of it would make him more happy. He therefore called for the goose and commanded maximum egg production.( the Income tax and the tax laws). This was ok for quite a while. but eventually the goose became tired and needed rest. but the owner, rather than give the goose some time to rest and recuperate, decided he would take the egg producing mechanism out of the goose and take posession of it himself, for being of higher learning, surely he could out produce a stupid goose, if he had the mechanism. So he ordered the goose to be killed and it's insides removed and the mechanism brought to him. This was completed and the goose insides were piled on a table before him. He searched and worked feverishly trying to find the Gold production apparatus, but none could be found. He then realized that he had killed the gold producing goose. The Senate and the Congress and the House of Representatives, and the Bureaucrats in Washington have taxed the Golden Goose well beyond our capacity to pay our own way. We are now in the process of having our guts removed. And guess what they will find. a pile of entrails, with no gold production mechanism anywhere to be found. We are on the operating table right now. as soon as they raise the debt ceiling, we will be lost. It will be over. So lets shut up about the debt ceiling and let the pusilanimus blowhards shut old America down. We need to have our politicians suffer for a while. Cut out all their pay, see what they do. Don't help them get over it. Let them sink. They need to feel the way the taxed people feel. Make the Tax Dodgers of their ranks serve time in prison. Get all the cheats bundled together, and put them away for an indefinite period. We are sick of bailing these numbskulls out every time the wind changes. Shut America down, you nitwits. Lets see you politicians suffer, I don't believe you can. Even if we do shut down, you are too cowardly to suspend your own pay. Let's see if you can do it. I challenge you to suspend paying yourselves. Then we'll see who has the guts to save America. I don't believe you will do it.
