Pumps' Perplexities

Today's news had a story about a philanthropic organization
which was attempting to raise money for a new "help
program".....The reporter's words where that some of the
needed funds would "Come from the Federal Government
and the rest from the Tax Payers".....

The above statement was confusing enough because the
Federal Government is supported by the Tax Payer.....
What he really meant was the "Federal Government and
Corporate and Individual contributions"......

But the bottom line is that no matter where the money
comes from to support this "organization", it is "Our"
money whether it be as a Tax Payer, an Individual or
Corporate funds diverted from the employee by decreased
wages, bonuses and stock dividends......

If it were not for "Our" money the Federal Government
and the Organization would not exist and the reporter would
be writing obituaries in stead of "breaking news".....Pumps
