Not often do I find some commentary so incisive, humorous and literary that I want to share it. These comments speak volumes about the complaints of the well-to-do about how they are being taxed to pay for things they don't want and how that taxation is keeping them from creating jobs. I totally love it. Thank you, Wanda.

Meanwhile,
think of all those shut-ins who have to pay for roads and all those
childless people who have to pay us teachers (police officers are
different because they have guns and they protect us from people who
want to take our stuff). Shouldn't people who have children have to be
responsible for educating them? Why should I have to care one way or
another whether some poor child born to a drug addict or born of grape
pickers or a hotel maid learns to read, or for that matter, gets a
vaccination? Poor Ben Stein. So rich and clever and yet so stingy and
easily annoyed. Imagine what would happen if he smiled every now and
then. Do you think it might make him feel better about this horrible,
third world country he has to live in, where your average comedian is so
burdened by taxes and hordes of the unwashed, he can barely get ahead?
Why should he even keep working? He might as well become like the Big
Liebowski, unwashed and stumbling to the grocery store in his bathrobe.
Okay, sometimes liberals are so sincere and so naive, they make your teeth hurt. But at least they're usually trying to create utopia. Dumb, but it's at least sweet. But, Jesus (and I mean that as a prayer and not a curse word), I get so tired of rich white people whining that they're going to starve to death any minute and barely can stand to go to work anymore because they just can't make any money because the socialist president thinks the maid ought to be able to go the doctor or that they're really worried that it's Hispanic immigrants who have taken all the good manufacturing jobs. One thing we did learn from Ferguson for sure, though, is that liberals and conservatives both hate the government; they just hate different parts of it.
The difference is, that conservatives at least love the flag, especially at ballgames. And they love the military, because they are sure that the military will so ditch the commander in chief and storm the White House with Ted Nugent carrying the colors when the time comes for armed rebellion, so they won't have to shoot any National Guard troops in the coup. Oh, and they like to complain about high taxes and neglected veterans in the same breath because they are sure that it is educating Hispanic children--and not letting Mitch McConnell tax shelter his wife's inherited money that has so strapped the VA. I mean, it does add up, all those Social Security payments to widows and orphans. And it's true that even if Mitch had to pay more taxes or the CEO of KCTCS made less money, it still would only be a drop in the bucket. But be sure to post that bit about how the Congress shouldn't get all their great retirement, but live on Social Security because they totally read Facebook. Oh, and we did know, didn't we, that we don't have a direct vote on Congress's paychecks? So, like, we might have to vote in some different guys, and we might have to term limit them by voting in ALL the elections, not just the ones where we get a holiday? Vote? Oops! Look! Look! Immigrants! Nancy Pelosi is coming to get your guns!
Anyway, Mitch McConnell explained what the problem is, and it is certainly not income inequality or laying off teachers or NASA engineers, leaving them free to seek employment in the private sector, which has the really good jobs, like barrista and sales associate. Liberals should never suggest that rich people should love their country and forgo making gazillions by relocating rather than keeping the jobs here and paying good wages and making only zillions. Mitch McConnell was really irritated about that in the last election. And he really wanted to let the Koch brothers make some dough on that pipeline and screw the aquifer that supplies water to the west or that Obama's administration has really lowered our imports of foreign oil. Goodness knows, the Democrats aren't going to point it out. They're too busy pointing out that they love Big Oil! They love Big Coal! They hate the EPA! They're Clinton democrats, from back when the treasury still had money in it and before George Bush decided to send us our money back. By the way, does anybody remember what you did with those two checks?
I think when children are two years old, their parents should NEVER force them to share their toys. And for heaven's sake, don't buy them those bracelets that ask, "What would Jesus do?" All that stuff about "giving away all you have," and "if a man needs you to walk a mile with him, walk, two, or one coat, give him two." You better keep that coat. What if your coat gets a hole in it, and anyway, why doesn't he have his own coat, and why is he hungry? And what was that guy doing anyway when the Good Samaritan picked him up and kept paying his medical bills and checking on him? Was he in drag? Did he have on a hoodie? Was he in the right neighborhood? I mean Jesus was okay then, but he would so not make it in the modern world.
Give the poor advice, that's what you do. Tell him to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Tell her to get three jobs at whatever wage the employer wants to pay, because she can work 70 hours if she wants to, 90 if she can stay away awake, she can get as many jobs as he wants because this is a free country. As for who will watch her children, children are a luxury commodity. If you can't afford them, don't have them. As for the immigrant and the stranger, tell him to go home and fix his own damn country because he is not our problem.
That's how you begin to build a liberal, you know. Telling them all that nonsense about sharing and including everybody. Some of them grow up thinking we mean it.
