The weird thing is that sometimes this is the same person!
who is John Galt?
If only this were true...
Led by the fakers.
Producers, looters, and moochers.
Maybe we should hire more federal, state, and city/local government employees. They make very good salaries and a decent portion of it is paid back in taxes.
“The Devil is never a maker, The less that you give, you’re a taker.” — Ronnie James Dio
"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
Note Jefferson's very last thought here. He declares that when government taxing and debt have reached certain levels, in order for individuals to survive, then their chosen "employment" becomes "hiring ourselves to rivet their (the government's) chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." Might that account for why it is government employment levels which have risen at such great rates in the past 2 years?
Inasmuch as government creates no wealth and has no money, the pay for every job in government must first come out of the pockets of hardworking citizens in the private sector or be borrowed (to be paid back eventually from the pockets of future generations).
Ahhh, guess that's what Dems call "redistributing" wealth!
In Jefferson's words, it's called "rivet(ing) chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers."
” 53%— or a majority — of American adults do not work. “
and hence trillion-dollar deficits...
The makers must take from the takers so makers can stay makers and the takers will become makers too.
Most of them were working before their job was exported. Check what you buy, see where it is made and you will see where the jobs went. Bring the jobs back and they will be working again.
Yes, Shaw said that, but he still was a Fabian socialist. Go figure!
