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.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for.
I've decided I can't be politically correct anymore.
(I never was, actually)

Yea, Small Town (pork fed Frank?) didn't even deliver the winner's optional slam of New York's face into the pavement!
I guess New York's forehead bounce maneuver counted for something.
He is 100% right . The R's don't represent the Republican base. The average American has near zero representation at any level of .gov. The uni party only performs bread and circus for the sheep.
R's or Dem's neither party represents America 1st. They are all traitors to their oath of office.
Criminals one and all!
Yes, narrowly beating you and 168
Irony: In these countries, the very men who had confiscated these weapons are far more likely to die slow and painful deaths from being poisoned by their wives with diquat/paraquat herbicide for infidelity than being killed with a firearm. There are very few things in life as quite as horrific as an intentional diquat/paraquat poisoning, with the exception of organomercuric compounds perhaps... The latter is a new level of terrifying.
A great and different perspective of the I, Pencil essay
I Don't exactly know how old I was at the time. But I was small enough that my parents were pushing me around in a stroller.
Anyway...My parent took me to the San Fransico Zoo to see all the animals. I was enthralled! But at one point, my eyes got big around as saucers and I stood up in the stroller and pointed back behind my parent and started screaming "The Gorillas got loose! The Gorillas got loose!"
It was the first time I'd ever seen Africans. My parents thought I'd killed us all.
