Why do we still vote for, and expect, free stuff?

It's a trap!

(but @onceuponatime, there isn't even any cheese in that trap!)

Not even mouse would enter the trap without a cheese. I bet the cheese is in it’s mouth already. Only humans can do this. Humans are the smartest animals, but sometimes they do the stupidest things.
BTW: I voted!

Oh? And not even humans would vote for the unfunded liabilities of government election promises? LoL

@onceuponatime,
I also voted for free cheese! Now I know how stupid I am! Until this country gets people like me do, politics available here! Coz we do the same mistake in the next election to flush the current one and bring the previous one lol :D

Cheers~

There is no hope for the hopeless :-)

@onceuponatime,
Hopeless means they have every type of hopes!

Cheers~

Name 10 things the government has personally helped you to have a better life in the last 10 years..... Not all that easy, is it?

Why do we still vote for, and expect, free stuff?

...because we're in denial, and all we can do is hope.

There.Is.No.Such.Thing.As.A.Free.Lunch!
...someone, and eventually everyone, pays...

It's like paying for a free lunch repeatedly. Here is a free hamburger. It is worth $5, by the time you've paid for it, you've paid for it 50x over.

It would be nicer to no longer offer the free lunch. Just let us make our own lunch arrangements. :)

Name one thing the government can supply more efficiently than a free market. Not that easy either!

ha ha ha but the rat looking so immosionaly

The Rat Cage (And How to Get Out of It)

You like Teal Swan...
very good!
as for me... I'm out of the MaTRIX :D

People have been conditioned to think the government will give them cheese and so they are used to it. This is why they keeping goiong to the government for cheese, even though they are not getting It.

You don't say! LoL

we better grab the AKs

That never worked before.

our ''Hellenic'' government would never use such.... pitiful traps ...
...they are professionals... far away from every politician in the world..
... we must give credits to them ...they are not amateurs scammers...
...most probably they would use something like that...!!!!

And it would be hidden under a silk tapestry of promises :-)

It's the research we've all been waiting for: five amazing health benefits of cheese, according to science.
Say what? Cheese might actually be good for you? Old-school thinking is that cheese is unhealthy, in large part because of all its saturated fat. But newer research calls into question the link between saturated fat and heart disease. In fact, eating cheese (nibbling, not gorging) is linked with numerous health benefits. This may also apply to government.

and wine. dont forget the wine XD

You get what you pay for (in the long run).
