No Runny Eggs

With the Barack Obama Spend-o-meter now near $1.3 trillion and Barney Frank doubling down  on Obama’s call for excessive taxing of the rich, it seems like it may be time to start looking at options for deficit reduction. A story out of Rochester, MN provides a viable solution.

As reported in this story, a Rochester woman was arrested after stealing $10K-$15K from a Casey’s General Store. According to the story, the woman was taking the money and wiring it to Nigeria. No, she wasn’t sending it to family, she was sending it because she had received an email from Morgan Smith of Nigeria saying that the woman was to receive $10 million from investments gains on oil and diamonds. All the woman had to do was send money to Nigeria for plane tickets and a transfer certificate.   The woman was just planning to “borrow” the money and had full intention of returning it after she received her $10 million.

So I’m thinking….I’ve received 10’s of dozens of letters from Morgan Smith and other envoys trying to deliver an inheritance, income I’ve made on some investment I’ve forgotten about or by helping them get their fortune moved, entirely legally, from some third world country to the US. In each case, I could receive $10 Million or better.

If Barack Obama just got 1,050,000 people to forward the emails they’ve received from Mr. Morgan Smith, to the Federal Treasury, they could collect on them and get enough to retire the $10.5 Trillion debt!

Seriously, did you ever think there was anyone so stupid that they would actually follow up on one of those emails? Yeah, you’re right, there do seem to be plenty of people who think that Obama’s plan can actually reduce taxes for 95% of taxpayers and increase taxes on only 5% and none of that will have any reprecussions.

Yeah, you’re right, there are a lot of stupid people!
