there are a lot of people out there that want pie, right now, and they want you to pay for it.

Rats never seem to think that it might be cheaper & more productive to sign up some of those pie-hungry eaters as apprentice bakers & teach them how to bake more pies.

The solution is not fighting over how to divvy up one pie, but how to make more pies.

Take a tip from the Bible: Jesus & the Disciples ended up with more bread and fish than thy started with, and still fed the multitudes.

Sure, in His case, it was a miracle; but it was still a case of making more, not just splitting up what you already have.

There is a famous saying from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu that Senator Obama totally does not understand: Give a man a fish; feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; feed him for a lifetime. Obama wants the former, but in our real world we need the latter.
