That’s not how the system works. You have to add in multi million dollar corporations with paid lobbists which do not pay one dollar but enjoy the benefits. I pay more taxes than GE.

Democrats understand. They want to destroy everyone’s ability to freely make his financial decisions.

I’ve seen this before but it’s still true and needs repeating. Maybe “Mittens” will use it in the next debate. Along with asking “Won” how “Mooch-elle” plans to decorate that little beach cottage.

The first 5 freeloaders should be hit over the head with the empty beer bottles of the bottom 5 who can at least afford a beer.

Losers

They shouldn’t be in the bar in the first place. Get a job or pick up some empty bottles by the side of the road and cash them in for some money to get a beer.

Seen this before? (That’s OK. A little repetition doesn’t hurt).

Excellent, been using this example for a while now.
Also ‘like’ the one about the stranger coming into town and leaving $1000.00 with the hotel manager and the towns ‘debt’ (well a smallish inner circle) being cleared, with the stranger leaving with his ‘original’ grand.

Back in the late 60’s or there about, the State of California had a surplus (times do change) and the legislature was trying to decide how to refund it to the population. After a lot of wrangling, it was decided to refund all tax payers $100. The people went crazy, my brother-in-law included. Why should the rich get the same amount as me. They do not need it and BTW they are already rich.

No one got a tax rebate. The money was spent on other programs

Seen many times but it’s always fun to review. Also the averaging of class grades so that everyone gets equal results on tests is a good one. No one fails but no one gets a top score either. Soon the grades become lower and lower until they’re all nearly failing as incentives to do well is taken away.

I’ve always had a theory on barstool freedom of speech.
