So, basically this is saying that liberals are mentally 10-year olds.

That makes sense.

I think that gives them too much credit.

The craziness of true Marxism is that it realizes that early humans did it because they had to. As soon as they advanced, things changed. However, they think that the old tribe way of ‘nobody gets ahead’ (which never really existed, there was always a chief or leader of some sort) is the ultimate human condition to be in. Nuts.

LOL How’d the Churchill quote go? If you’re not a liberal in your grade school years you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative by the time you overcome bedwetting you have no brain... or something to that effect.

Indeed. Marxism is regressive.

Interesting.
When my daughter was three, we started a deal at Christmas (didn't work) that she had to give some her toys to poor kids (simple version).
She looked at my husband and said no. We were surprised. He asked her why. She said Daddy you worked really hard to give me this stuff, if the kids don't have what they need they need to get a different Daddy.
Yep, at 29 she has not changed and her kids are all the same.
Work hard and you will be rewarded.
She turned out well in spite of me.

Socialists are nuts,true enough. This experiment though,hmmm,it says that only one of the children in each pair,the “dictator” got to decide what was fair.

Seems not fair.

I’ve been out of work for awhile, trying real hard, think I just failed in yet another interview. It sucks out there, but marxism is never an answer. It just gets in the way mostly, and cuts off so many of your chances. I’m ok for some support for disabled and unemployed, but certainly not endless welfare.

So Liberals are adult retards. That...is my personal conclusion.

Definitely. People supposedly become capable of adult logic and reason at the age of 12. Unfortunately, liberals never seem to attain that level of rational thought. They perpetually believe in the tooth fairy.

Which means the following would just fly over their heads:

Good news everyone, my 10 year old daughter understands totally how Obama is stealing everyone’s money by spending alone even though most of his tax increases haven’t kicked in.

She gets it. She is now asking me, why doesn’t everyone?

So I shot the question back to her, her answer “They don’t want to know”

I said, bingo, I got a genius for a daughter!

What pisses off the left is the fundamental unfairness of capitalism.

In order to thrive, in a capitalist system, you have to produce something that someone else values. Leftists are far too self-centered for that to be acceptable.

My 2ct’s worth-Perhaps the equal sharing in the younger subset is due to having siblings at home and parents who reprimand them when they fight over toys and goodies?
