RE: 2016 "BASCOMB TAKES A STAND”
A lot of folks have been asking me where I stand on the issues, besides
hating all of the lying Skunks and Polecats up in DC.
Well there are four big issues facing the country today.
1. Immigration
2. Money
3. Jobs
4. Terrorists
Well first let me say that when it comes to our borders, that I believe we
should have regular patrols to keep them folks from down in Columbus from sneaking
in up here in Nankipooh. I also understand that there has been a few of them
Roosevelt Liberals from over in Warm Springs coming over here to our barn
dances.
When it comes to the broader issue, I ain't wanting none of them folks from
Alabama or Tennessee coming around here neither. Now my kin folks came to
Nankipooh from South Carolina a few hundred years ago, so I guess them folks
are alright, but we don't want none of them Yankees sneaking up here from
Florida though.
Now when you start talking about money, it’s a tough subject, since most of
the folks around Nankipooh ain't got much of it. It seems like the government
and the banks got most of the money, and they ain't spreading it around too
much. The big Federal Bank up in DC just keeps giving the littler banks money
for free, and they use it to buy up mortgages and other banks. The 1st
Nankipooh Bank wouldn't even lend old Bascomb any money to put more stock in
the Nankipooh General Store. A bunch of folks around here is trading with each
other, since they ain't got no money, but I understand that the government is
trying to figure out how to put a tax on that too.
Maybe the best thing would be for us to print our own money down here in
Nankipooh and not use none of them DC greenbacks. We ain't got none anyway.
Course the Skunks and Polecats up in DC won't allow that either, since they are
the only ones allowed to print money to pay bills, that they ain't got no money
for. So I say let's do away with money and go back to using gold and silver, or
just trading with one another.
Now the hardest thing is how to come up with some more jobs. Maybe the
farmers could take on folks to help them, and teach them how to farm, and then
after they have learned, they could give them a little strip of land of their
own to farm. Old Bascomb is willing to take on a helper at the Nankipooh
General Store and teach him how to be a store keeper in exchange for him running
the soft drink department on a commission basis.
There is a lot of folks that ain't got a job cause they don't know how to do
what people is paying for. Maybe the Mayor of Nankipooh could teach some folks
about politics, since there seems to be a lot of work for politicians. It also
seems that the government and the banks ought to be hiring since they got all
the money. If folks don't work, they can't spend money or pay taxes, and that's
what it takes to keep things running
As far as Terrorism goes, I saw a bunch of them kids from over in Double
Churches running around over here in Nankipooh stealing apples and spray painting
folk’s barns.
I done called the county sheriff
to do something about those brats, since that is one of the main jobs that the
government is supposed to do.
Protecting
the citizens, as a matter of fact, is supposed to be the number one job of the
government.
Course, the sheriff we got
right now don’t seem to have much time for that, since he is always spending
his time pitching horse shoes, or making speeches about how things really ain’t
all that bad.
Now the one thing we all got to learn to get through hard times, is that you
can't buy things that you ain't got no money for. If you are in debt, you can't
borrow your way out of debt, just like you can't dig yourself out of a hole!
That goes for folks in Nankipooh as well as the Skunks and Polecats up in DC!
"Now, that's the way I see it, and you can tell'em I said so!"
