the left keeps talking about giving back. maybe just another example of their empty words and hypocrisy. (could it be they really don’t care about us lowly chickens out here, that they just want the POWUH!?)
The issue of the tip is not of itself really that important because we already know from the way she treated the secret service and military during the Clintoon presidency that she has contempt for others. The underlying thing here is that there are people who want to rule this country that see it as existing to serve them. They have a separate set of rules for themselves which conveniently exist “for the greater good.” Sort of like a huge liberal high school history teacher I had who would tell you in a heartbeat that if someone broke in her house she had a shotgun, but later would try and explain why the second amendment doesnt apply to us and why firearm ownership wasnt really a good idea “for everyone.”
We as a people have been bought by these would be rulers. They see themselves as an anointed ruling class, better then the common man. As a conservative however, I see myself as no better then the guy picking up the garbage, I just got myself a better paying job. I see a world where we can all do better together. They see a world where there is only so much wealth to go around and they want to make sure it ends up at their house, not yours. The way I look at it is if I help a neighbor build a barn, his wealth increased. Did the boards magically disappear from my barn? No, we can both have a barn, his doesnt effect mine whatsoever. The issue of class should be dead in this country. Too many great men have fought and died for this country of all different walks of life for us to say one group should rule it over the others.
I disagree with those who would rule by keeping others tied to the government by dependence. It is calculated to dumb down the masses. Just like the rampant state-sponsored drug use in Iran, or the way Saddam was the source of food in Iraq for years. You cant very well revolt against a dictator when you are too busy fighting a war with your neighboring tribe and dependent on the dictator for your food. For this reason, I hope to see a day when government dependency is growing less and the government is dependent on us, not the other way around.
