—”The difficulty of that one is there are so many forms of greedy liberal aren’t there? “

Yes indeed! That would make for many chapters of the book, e.g.

-One chapter would be “Greedy Wealthy Liberals” (Buffet, Gates, Musk)

-Another would be “Greedy Obamaphone Liberals” (free stuff for ME!).

-Another chapter would be about those who “Punish successful people (by using gov’t to steal their property).

-And one chapter could be Greedy Race Baiter Liberals (Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the BLM -aka “Chocolate Klan”)

RE: a proposed book, The Greedy Liberal, discussing the many forms of greed, one per chapter:

  1. Greedy Wealthy Liberals (Buffet, Gates, Musk)
  2. Greedy Obamaphone Liberals (free stuff for ME!).
  3. Punish the Successful Liberals (by using gov’t to steal their property).
  4. Greedy Race Baiter Liberals (Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the BLM -aka “Chocolate Klan”)
  5. Others...

Alan, good work.  I think the book would be a winner.  I like the way you've scoped out the chapters.  We need to check, but I do not believe it's been done before.

Breaking down and explaining the greedy personalities would be a great service to the MAGA movement.  So I applaud the effort and would contribute in some way.

My own inclination is to produce an interactive tool that explains the various forms of greed.

In my work life, I research the software solutions for technology fraud.  And it's fascinating to learn the various forms of fraud and how they are defeated.

So the "greed story" is much the same way.  How can we map out the way greed is perpetrated?  A detective story engages people.

FReepers were excited to follow the twists and turns of the 2016 campaign -- and now Trump's march to MAGA. It's like a Grimm's fairy tale of slaying the dragons in the corrupt swamp.

I've long felt the Milton Friedman's of the world -- though they achieved a lot -- did not bring their knowledge down to the level of the common man.

Now, I'll admit that economics is a very complex subject to teach.  But I loved Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.  That kind of work has multi-generational value.

And just now as I write to you, I stopped for a few minutes and found The Law by Frederic Bastiat, written in 1850.  The English translation is cumbersome, but the ideas are spectacular.  And he explains the whole area of "Legal Plunder" -- another word for Liberal Greed.

So the better translation and distribution of this work could be the framework for drilling down on particular forms of greed -- most of which didn't exist in Bastiat's time.

So I ramble on because I, like you, want to contribute something of enduring value to help the MAGA cause.

I am pinging a few people who may have some ideas to help flesh out this idea -- and play Devil's Advocate.

Alan,

If it's an interactive map of Liberal Greed, this image I made could be turned into that. You see a particular kind of greed in the picture, so you click on it and some text pops up to explain what it is.

I feel this would make a nice educational tool.

Tossing this into the mix. It might be of benefit

MAKE MINE FREEDOM

Also, the constant reference to chocolate. Chocolate = candy The word summons up an image of the Candy Man. The horror movie done by Clive Barker

Bill O'R enjoyed using the term 'pinheads'. This summons up an image of the movie HELLRAISER and the character 'Pinhead'

When BO'B first appeared on the political scene, his name was thought to make him of IRISH descent. The MFM went gaga attempting to find family history that this would be true. Of course, when he made his first trip to the Emerald Isle, they made a big to do about his 'going home'. THUS: Barack O'Bama became plain ol' BO'B to this average deplorable.

The idea of Kathy G as one of the French Revolution knitters is self apparent. Pink knitted caps, guillotine, collecting heads.

We all know of the Midas touch. Now we have seen the BO'B touch, nothing to nothing; chaos to follow.
