Liberals have made covetousness--enviously wanting what someone else has--their guiding principle. Their second principle is that the poor are entitled to be covetous and "justice" demands that the gov't help them get what they want. Peruse history and see what this kind of thinking inflicted on mankind. I'll take greed, and capitalism, any day.Seane-Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223095530241687589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-69222692175837509672009-04-18T07:29:00.000-04:002009-04-18T07:29:00.000-04:00One of the signs I saw, at the TEA party that I at...One of the signs I saw, at the TEA party that I attended was this: "Mr. Obama, you have run out of our money!"<br />The rich people are the ones that actually run this country, giving jobs to the not so rich and the poor alike, but only if they are willing to work. And therein lies the problems here. "Democracy will cease to work when the people find out the government will give them money, instead of working." We are coming so close to that, yet, no one seems to realize it. Wait.....in the last unemployment numbers, didn't it say that 91.5% of the people WERE working? <B>Great post as usual sir.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-6952451150633909972009-04-16T23:04:00.000-04:002009-04-16T23:04:00.000-04:00Ayn Rand would agree Roady - I'm re-reading Atlas ...Ayn Rand would agree Roady - I'm re-reading <I>Atlas Shrugged</I> right now, so that's very timely.<br /><br />It seems we go through these periods or swings between Keynesian and Supply Side policies.<br /><br />What's been horrific about the current trend is that way too many of us have failed to realize that the KEYNESIAN shift began around 2002...<br /><br />The only saving grace in Keynesian economic policies is that they DON'T WORK....they CAN'T WORK!<br /><br />When they inevitably fail, they are replaced with Supply Side administrations - Carter was followed by Reagan, Dinkins by Giuliani and the Liberal Democratic Congress of 1956 - 1994 was follwoed by the Gingrich Congress of 1995 - 1999.<br /><br />The REAL shame is that G W Bush's Keynesianism has been wrongly portrayed as "Conservative" and "Supply Side", allowing the Obama administration to come in offering more Keynesianism as "change"!<br /><br />The good news is that more and more people are finally coming around.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-8840463282693149102009-04-16T22:49:00.000-04:002009-04-16T22:49:00.000-04:00It will almost make it all worth while to see the ...It will almost make it all worth while to see the Obama-bots reaction when there are no more "rich" people to provide jobs and tax revenue for their pet projects and social engineering progams.<br />Sure, we'll all be starving and pennyless, but at least we'll have a few laughs about it.Roadhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398602327654883509noreply@blogger.com
