Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. ~H.L. Mencken I don’t make jokes… I just watch the government and report the facts. ~Will Rogers If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free! ~P.J. O’Rourke In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. ~Voltaire (1764)   Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you! ~Pericles (430 B.C.)
	No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. ~Mark Twain (1866 ) Talk is cheap…except when Congress does it. ~Unknown A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. ~Thomas Jefferson “If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” ~Mark Twain Suppose you were an idiot.  And suppose you were a member of Congress….But then I repeat myself. ~Mark Twain
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. ~Winston Churchill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. ~ George Bernard Shaw A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. ~G. Gordon Liddy Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. ~James Bovard, Civil Libertarian	Tip o the hat to Freeper april15Bendovr
Props to Lady Jag	Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. ~Douglas Casey, Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. ~P.J. O’Rourke, Civil Libertarian   Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. ~Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801~1850)
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan (1986)T The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal:  a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. ~Ronald Reagan
	The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings.The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. ~Winston Churchill The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. ~Mark Twain The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. ~Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820~1903) There is no distinctly Native American criminal class…save Congress. ~Mark Twain What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. ~Edward Langley, Artist (1928 ~ 1995)

That quiz would work fine for Old America, in the Pre-0bama era. Nowadays, being “good” with money means overspending like the dickens, and gettting a government bailout.

[RockinRight]

It says I’m “great” but some of the answers were a bit too “all or nothing” when that’s not reality.

This is really going to age me:

Lesley Gore’s, “It’s My Party and I’ll Cry If I Want To.”

That song with the lyrics, “Pick a penny up and put it in your pocket. Save it for a rainy day.”

I bought a new GMC Sierra and returned to the dealer
yesterday because I couldn’t get the radio to work.

The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

‘Nelson,’ the salesman said to the radio.
The radio replied, ‘Ricky or Willie?’

‘Willie!’ he continued and ‘On The Road Again’
came from the speakers.

Then he said, ‘Ray Charles!’, and in an instant
‘Georgia On My Mind’ replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time
I’d say, ‘Beethoven,’ I’d get beautiful classical music,
and if I said, ‘Beatles,’ I’d get one of
their awesome songs.

Yesterday, some Mexicans ran a red light and
nearly creamed my new truck, but
I swerved in time to avoid them.

I yelled, ‘[censored] Holes!’

Immediately the Iranian National Anthem began to play,
sung by H Obama, Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by
Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry
on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica,
Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons,
Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy On Scotch.

I LOVE this truck!
