Humor: Politics

Tiptoe Your Way To Freedom

The following is a scenario of what could happen if the American people just… woke up one day.  By no means is this article a way to mislead you on how you should conduct your life.  This article is for entertainment purposes only.

We all are aware—well, at least some of us are—that we live in a country that is less than perfect.  Prices are increasing while our wages remain the same.  Who knows, the price of a loaf of bread could increase to $10—imagine that.  In this country anything is possible. We have entered an age where we are getting rubbed down—excuse me, patted down, by the TSA, while simply trying to take a relaxing trip to see grandma.  Adequate security is one thing; however, infringement upon the body is another. Public transportation is also an issue, and has been removed in some areas leaving those wondering how to feed their families, while the elite continue to pass laws to benefit themselves.

Our forefathers had a unique plan for this country that has now been successfully swept under the rug by a few elite, while we sleep.  The United States Constitution was the roadmap of conducting ourselves in America.  It is all written down, but yet forgotten.  I am pretty sure that those Veterans who fought in WWI would be absolutely outraged if they saw what was going on in America today.   

Some have often wondered if the news media purposely gathers all of the bad news in the area then rush to report it, in an attempt to keep the world in a panic.  Robbery, murder, and assault every day, throughout the day, are these the only topics to report? Is our society really that bad? 

But what would happen if everyone in America just, woke up, and tiptoed out of the country over a course of 365 days while the elite sleep? Some will choose to travel by boat, others will purchase one-way tickets, and a small few will be purchase round-trip tickets in an effort to not arouse suspicion.

In Texas a father and son had an interesting conversation one morning that was had by many others. 

“Come on son, today is the day we leave.”

“But papa, where are we going?”

“We’re going to a free land.”

“But I thought this country was free.”

“I did too.  But it’s only free for the elite.”

In Florida a family had an interesting conversation one morning at the airport going through
