I get it now....John and the liberals are all for higher taxes on everyone and redistribution of 'wealth.' Great.
You like that huh? So, as an example, you work hard all day in your joint, bust your ass, call people in, flash the joint, and make a lot of money; all the while you notice the guy in the joint across from you does nothing but sit on his ass all day, doesn't call anyone in, doesn't try and flash the joint, just sits while every once in a while someone stops and plays at his joint because yours is too busy. At the end of the day you are happy and proud of the money you made; then management (ie, 'government') comes along and looks the other guys money, then looks at your money, and says to you, "Nice job today, you really made some money. However, we're going to take about 75% of it, since you don't need all of that money, and give a big chunk of it to the guy across from you, because he did not have a good day and doesn't have any money." So, basically, you worked hard all day to earn the money you made, only to see most of taken and given away to the guy across from you that did nothing all day to earn any money. But that's okay, you're fine with that, right? You probably would have helped the guy out on your own, or someone else who did not have any money, but management (ie, 'government') took that choice away from you. And it happens the next day, and the day after that, and before long, you realize, what the heck is my incentive for working hard and earning money? I'll just sit back and do nothing like everyone else and let management (government) take care of me!
And after awhile there are more people sitting and doing nothing than working hard to earn a living, but management (government) keeps right on giving. What happens? Those that are still working hard and earning a living get more and more of their money taken and 'redistributed' by management (government), and the pool of hard workers drops and drops, while the pool of do nothings gets larger and larger. Gee, that works out great, doesn't it?[badidea]
You chugged the entire slurrpy! You got so excited, you forgot to bust up your paragraphs. too hard to read kat, but then, I didn't bother reading it. Your views are always a joke.
