This first part is from an e-mail that I received and the last part is my response to that e-mail.

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop

Ahhh but we forgot one thing. There is plenty of money to be made from poverty. Poverty is a business and just like any other business there are people making a living off of it. The higher up they are the more they make. Before we can remove the bird feeder we must first make sure that our neighborhood isn't being run by a selfish elitist few who are looking out for themselves rather than looking out for whats best for the whole of the neighborhood.
When the neighborhood became over run with birds there suddenly became a need for devices to protect you from the aggressive birds. Then there became a need for more clean up crews and for a pet store to be opened in your neighborhood to handle the sudden influx of new arrivals. Then a new vet, and a new hardware store and ....well...you see where I am going with this.
No good deed goes unpunished. And no selfish person goes poor. Sadly, both are true. Welcome to the modern world of economics. Outsource the real jobs and get rich by making slaves of the once great American public. Don't let them build sturdy homes to live in. Outsource that job so that they can build more crappy birdhouses and pet stores and vet offices and so on. America. Uh ha. Interesting stuff huh?
