The failure of the Left and what the Far-Right gets right.

[Shad]

Unless the job is to keep them poor (& dependent upon the state).

Is this a vague definition of democrat?

 

[oldbadger]

Left wingers are very generous....with someone else's money.


(Retaliation!)

Nah! Rubbish!
Right wingers don't pay enough money.
They don't even pay what they should pay.
The richer they are, so the tighter most of 'em get.
I suppose it's greed taken to the point of mental illness?

Which is how about 8 persons own as much as 50% of the Earth's whole population.

No.....tis more of an emergent property of the party.

We're both just jealous that we're not one of the 8.
Although I'll wager we both have better look'n mugs than any of'm.

No one earns their success..."somebody else made that happen".

I don't think it means that people don't earn their success, but their success all interconnected and dependent on other people as well. It's built on the successes (and even the failures) of others.

In context, I think it's an appeal to remember and give consideration (and perhaps better compensation) to "all the little people who made this possible."

I know that Obama often doesn't mean what he says, or say what he means.
But your inference is overly charitable to the rapacious ex-prez.
When Obama said I didn't build my business, ie, that someone did it for me, he uses clear & strong
language to give me no credit whatsoever. He falsely suggests that successful businesses get a free
ride the backs of government & workers. His real purpose, & the greater falsehood.....he manipulated
the masses to feel that we don't deserve what we have....that they, the equally smart & hard working
are entitled to more....that the hefty taxes & wages we already pay are paltry.

" If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
This was a scripted speech, so he knew in advance that he would make this statement.
Note the word, "else", which excludes the entrepreneur from creating the business.
He can temper it with elaboration....he can dance around it....but this was no slip of the tongue.
It was dishonest demonization of the movers & shakers who drive the country's economy.

Well, my wife does........ have a better lookin' mug than any of 'em.
Actually, she's got a better lookin' body than any of 'em.
I think I'll go see where she is........

Rubbish!

In my experience, all real self-made successes are generous, charitable and very quiet about themselves.

Ex-President Obama will be remembered by most for his openess and honesty. Give it a bit longer and you may even be screaming his praises yourself?

Somebody told me that most right-wingers are doggers?

After exclaiming "Rubbish!", the sentence following it appears entirely unconnected.

I have praised him.
Do you recall why?
But he's a complete dolt regarding economics.

Very few are 2 masted Dutch sailboats.
Most right wingers are yachts.
(Btw, we Libertarians are usually canoes.)

That reminds me of a rude joke.
No.... I can't..... I mustn't

 

[Revoltingest]

You must!

Use euphemisms to avoid the banfairy.

It was lost on you, then....

I have praised him.

Complete dolt ......... ? but you have called him much worse things, surely?

Give it time...... he may yet become your hero...... discovered too late.

 

[oldbadger]

You must!

Use euphemisms to avoid the banfairy.

Ha ha!
You call Ex-President Obama a dolt, and there's you, believing in fairies!

 

[Revoltingest]

No kidding.

Don't call me Shirley.

I don't have a presidential hero.
Even Reagan did awful things.

 

[Revoltingest]

Ha ha!
You call Ex-President Obama a dolt, and there's you, believing in fairies!

The banfairy is real !
He threatens me now & then.
(Eating a lot'o garlic keeps me safe.)

 

[oldbadger]

No kidding.

Honestly.
You know how honest I am....?

Don't call me Shirley.

Sorry, I diodn't mean to embarrass you.
Just in private messages in future?

I don't have a presidential hero.
Even Reagan did awful things.

I claim to keep pictures of Baroness Thatcher on the mantlepiece, because it p-ss-s off a well known Brit member here!

 

[Revoltingest]

Honestly.
You know how honest I am....?

And inscrutable.
But we're derailing the thread.
Time to stop.
