Dear Prof. Hunnicut,

‘Why Do Republicans Want Us To Work All The Time?’
Why should you be any different than us?
Although we would at least like to see you work
HALF the time...

Yes, half would be a real nice start. I’m really getting tired of these shiftless bastards haranguing is to work harder for them.

There’s the example of the wagon with broken people in it being pulled by everybody else. We know some people are going to get off the yoke and jump into the wagon even though they are capable of pulling. What usually doesn’t get told in this example is the able-bodied riding in the wagon develop a sense of entitlement, and start berating the wagon-pullers because they aren’t pulling hard enough or fast enough to suit them. Eventually they’ll get a lash and start whipping the wagon-pullers, and we’re at about that stage in the analogy.

Eventually they will stop pulling, and reprise an old rule I have: “The slave toiling under the lash does not dream of his freedom. No, he dreams of becoming the Master and wielding that lash.”
