Jeff Travis owns a small business in Des Moines and he is absolutely furious at a classroom flier that his son received from his high school social studies teacher.
The flier, given to students at Roosevelt High School, features a cartoon and slogans that seem to promote communism over capitalism.
Communism stands for equal sharing of the work according to the benefits and the ability, but in capitalism an individual is responsible for his works and if he wants to raise the ladder, the flier stated. While the profit of any enterprise is equally shared by all in Communism, the profit in the capitalist structure belongs to the owner only.
The cartoon represented capitalism by featuring an overweight businessman smoking a cigar while his workers were shackled. On the communism side, the cartoon showed happy workers earning loads of cash.
Im a businessman, Travis told Fox News. I took great offense. I dont smoke big stogies. I dont have a big gut. My employees are not shackled. If this was a fair representation, where is the fence around the workers on the communist side? Where is the guy holding a gun to their heads saying either comply or die? Where are the bodies that Stalin and Mao put in the graves.
Travis said he spoke to the principal of the school and asked for an explanation. Its been nearly a week and so far he hasnt received one.
I couldnt believe how slanted it was, he said. It wasnt given as an example of propaganda. It was given as an example of capitalism and communism. I cant believe they would hand out something like that.

Hey, where’s the armed guard behind the commie workers? They cut that part of the drawing off!
Here’s a joke from an old russian, comparing capitalism and communism.
“In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, it’s other way around.”
I wonder how happy the hospital administrator would be, reduced to a janitor’s salary.
Vietnam is an interesting case. They claim communism but I think they call their economic system a “socialist-oriented market economy” which is fairly free and private entrepreneurship is encouraged at least as a means of generating revenue for the communist-ish govt.
Seems that even when communists turn to capitalism they don’t like admitting it.
I have a cousin who works part time at Western Michigan University. She wants to be hired full time because full time employees get an hour of paid free time every day to work out in the gym.
That’s 5 paid hours per week per employee to do nothing.
Your Tuition dollars at work. LOL
The Berlin wall was there for a reason - and we (the west) did not build it. Think about it. People died all the time trying to escape commie countries, yet more still tried. Think about it. Still think socialism is such a great idea? People hated it so much they were willing to risk their lives to escape it.
Even if, as a doctor, they started to pay me the same as a janitor it's not like it would change my philosophy and I would all of a sudden embrace their pathetic parasitic world view. It wouldn't break my pride, and it wouldn't change who I was. Money is not what defines who I am. It's pride in the efforts I have made and continue to put in to do something worthwhile with my life.
Even if they lived in mansions and I had to live under a bridge to stay apart from them, I would do it. I'll never be like the leftist parasites, and they will never truly be happy with who they are, no matter how many handouts they get and how much they get the government to steal for them from others.
People need to storm these communist hellholes and read the administrators the riot act.
If you don’t push back against commies, they’ll continue destroying the country. Once you do push back, you’ll discover what cheap cowards they are.
I was in local government for nearly 20 years, and commies and leftists back down when confronted, always and without exception. Your silence and inaction is their strength.
We are going to need a heck of allot more than a McCarthy moment, this country has been slithering down the communist road for 80 years, and this Komen incident confirms what I knew 2 days ago-—they would cave-in. Now when you donate to a liberal cause, you must donate to them for ever, unless you have no more to give, no matter how sickening the practices become. We are no longer free to have differing ideas, that’s called communism, period.
She obviously realized that she put her foot in her mouth
Thank you, now it looks right.
I admire your principles and your intellect. No, you will never be like the leftists.
“if this isnt ended very soon, it will be too late if it isnt already.’
It’s never too late in Michigan. Michigan is a strong home rule state. Local Michiganders have the power to impeach, remove, vote out and even throw local government leftists in prison.
I lived in Michigan for a good time. We kicked out police chiefs, indicted leftists in local government and threw fascist bureaucrats in prison. We completely overturned elections with recall petitions.
We put the fear of God into the commies in local government. Once people in Michigan learn about the power they have, much can be accomplished.
Michiganders have the power. Learn how to use it.
Interesting, isn't it, that the evil capitalist is depicted wearing a shapka (fur hat), boots and an overcoat? This suggests that the original illustration traces directly to the Soviets, immediately pre- or post-Revolution.
Michigan is definitely coming around even if we have to drag our state government kicking and screaming. We see the right to work law in Indiana as a big win for us because it will light a real fire under our legislature.
“Michigan is definitely coming around even if we have to drag our state government kicking and screaming.”
I pray you’re right, buddy.
That commie c**t granholm owes me and other good Michigan citizens a fortune. That bitch destroyed my financial positions in Michigan.
That POS RINO Cox refused to indict that whore for the grand theft she committed under the asinine “Cool Cities” farce. He had all the evidence presented to him and refused to prosecute.
The amount of money that granholm stole and gave to the racist, black panther thieves in Detroit is well over $1 billion.
She stole the heritage of my children and the fortune of children of other good Michiganders.
God damn that whore to hell.
Other than that, best wishes to you and yours, cripplecreek.
