as oppose to a liberal explaining funding cuts.

- President Bush requests a 100% increase in education funding.
- Congress sends him a bill that provides only a 50% increase.
- The President signs the bill
- The next day's headline reads Kerry: "Bush cuts education funding by 50%"

I've heard this story before and love it, but I hope you understand liberals lack the brain cells to follow it. To wit:

#1. They believe businesses pay taxes, not that they pass it along as a cost of doing business.
#2. They believe raising the minimum wage puts more money in the pocket of the poor. Again, businesses pass that cost on to everyone, even the poor don't escape inflation.
#3. They really believe that if all the rich were relieved of ALL their money, and it was passed around, the rest of us would be affluent. Last time I saw those figures, it worked out to be about 50.00 apiece for every man, woman, and child in the US.

Liberals are about ENVY, not ECONOMICS. One thing that can be said, however, is they understand human nature and use it as the path to power.

I've got a shorter one:

Great example right up until the end...

they just may not show up at the table anymore. There are lots of good restaurants in Europe and the Caribbean.

The problem with that theory is that the resteraunts in Europe charge more and a higher percentage of it is paid by that man. Not an attractive option.

Believe me, being a Democrat kool-aid drinker means believeing that the rich (which ironically includes many Dems) pay little or no taxes. One of my Dem friends stoutly believes this. When I told him one time, after he had gone off about the rich paying no taxes, that the top fifty percent pay more than 96% of all federal income taxes. He just looked at me and said "I don't believe it".

Fellow freepers what we're talking about here is monumentally ignorant people who believe in the big pile of wealth theory where the greedy Republicans got to the big pile of wealth first and took most of it. Many of these Dems also believe government bureaucrats create wealth in a secret room in the back of some gov building. My conclusion is that free-market economics should be a mandatorily taught subject as early as high school. It wouldn't help some Dems, but a lot of people would finally understand how wealth is created.
