Capitalism
A guy looked at my Corvette the other day and said I wonder how many people could have been fed for
the money that sports car cost. I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families in Bowling Green, Kentucky who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in Decatur IL. at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. It fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. BUT,... I have to admit, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed. That is the difference between capitalism and welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills. Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value, which was produced by someone who worked. When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. (But you may buy a vote!) [Actually, that wasn't my Corvette!] |

This is far different than the so called teat sucking that liberals are so fond of. Now do you get it? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Perhaps the troops can hold off payment until the big defense contractors who have been raping us for 70 years offer up payback. California has more military contractors than any other state and that is dark blue. Maybe Nancy and Barbara should pay these people from their bribes. |

Visiting, without the predominate stench clinging to me when I leave, would be a greater concern. |

This guy should be an embarrassment to every thinking American. I'd put him in a class with the little guy who runs North Korea...or his dad. The entire civilized world can't believe how the mighty have fallen.

Most of the antagonism I "collect" here is the result of my not buying into their racism, their right-wing extreme politics, their love of militarism, their homophobia, their hatred of certain ethnic minorities, and my disdain for organized religion. I don't even read most of the garbage the right-wing assholes post here, as much of it is Totally Devoid of Content (TDC). |
