Democrats + Revolving Doors = Doormocrats

People who contribute to the revolving door

Revolving door moochers

I want to start out by saying this was a reader-suggested idea. Score one for the community! Naturally, I will go from this point forward pretending it was my idea…

So I’m not sure if you readers out there are aware of this problem, but when it was brought to my attention, I immediately upped my awareness and it’s absolutely incredible how serious of an issue this is.

Where it all goes down…around…

Let’s put the economy, healthcare, and China’s human rights violations on hold for a minute and talk about a real problem: people who mooch the energy others are putting into the revolving door.

Right now, we are in the middle of trying to figure out if the future of this country involves the increased taxation of the wealthiest 5% to support tax breaks for the middle class. As Americans, we live the ironic dream of a government set up to give anyone the opportunity to become rich, and then have half of it taken away from them. It is obviously debatable whether we like this idea. Well, certainly we love the idea if we’re not rich.

I think that people are taking this idea and testing it by extending it to other parts of their lives: exercising their right to burden the strongest 5% of revolving door users with carrying the weight of the middle-strength. When did the Doormocrats get elected? Where was the vote? I feel, as an energy-wealthy person, that this is an unfair coup on my rights to share the burden.

I can’t say for sure when the revolution began because I haven’t been paying attention long enough to conduct a self-poll. But I do know that where there are opportunities to live off of someone else’s efforts, people take advantage, and it is obvious to me now that the revolving door is no exception. God save us all if Obama becomes president. Not only will we have more door freeloading, but people might decide to carpool with me against my will. The horror.
