His desire to end poverty is commendable…it’s the how that bothers me.

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
If he wasn’t so stupid, he’d realize his proposed/favored policies create poverty. Another thing: he’s the biggest hypocrite in the world, living in an oversized mansion, clear cutting the trees around it, no “green technology” in his new house, collecting a $500k/year salary from a hedge fund whose biggest holding was with a subprime lender. On the other hand, Pres. Bush’s ranch has the latest and greatest of “green technology.” MSM doesn’t report this, tho.

21st Century Proverb:
There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the prof noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist regime.
In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked:
“Do you know how to catch wild pigs?” The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.
“You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it tha t the y have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.”
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax cuts, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
God help you when the gate slams shut!
January 30th, 2008 at 2:11 pmfuck equity. the democrats are going to ruin this country and it’s economy if they get elected. they act like they know what the economy is. They have no idea how crippling our government is to businesses and entrepreneurs. their agenda is going to end up taxing the smart and successful people so much that no one will see an incentive for working hard anymore. What is the point of getting a good education and trying to make something of yourself if the government is just going to take all of it away and give it to a lazy ass couch potato?
January 30th, 2008 at 3:07 pmHere’s a link to a great piece on RealClearMarkets puncturing Bill Gates’ rich-guilt “soft capitalism”. Lots of great take-aways, including:
//
When we consider living standards prior to the proliferation of the profit motive, a vastly different world existed. Economist Gregory Clark points out in his book A Farewell to Alms that before the onset of the Industrial Revolution, “the average person in the world of 1800 was no better off than the average person of 100,000 BC.” According to Clark, the “lucky denizens of wealthy societies such as eighteenth-century England or the Netherlands managed a material lifestyle equivalent to that of the Stone Age.”
