Snappy comeback. How many times did your mother drop you? And why always at the top of a stairwell?
So much for that. Your lack of a substantial answer speaks eloquently of your "ideas."

So those in need and desperate in our society--such as poor children, the disabled, and elderly (not just "welfare queens" and "young bucks")--are mean-spirited goat-owners? We should leave them to their misery because somehow they deserve it or a new dress is more important than someone, our neighbor, going cold and hungry? And the millions who through no fault of their own were ruined by the greed of Banks and Wall Street in 2008 should not be given aid by their government, through taxes, for its misfeasance? Being compassionate and taking care of the less fortunate of our fellow citizens is a horror of redistribution? Paying taxes to build and maintain a park in our neighborhood is worthwhile but feeding the hungry in our nation is not?

Yep.

Are you that ignorant thru no fault of their own, well no one forced them to get involved in something they knew nothing about. I guess it was your fault they lost money. And charity starts at home but if you want feel free to give your income away to help those poor unfortunate people it is not the government's job.


It is not up to government, especially the central government, to take care of them. There are other options.

In the Constitution of the Russian Federation, it is mandated that young people take care of their parents. That is because during the Soviet Era, people became dependent on government for their care. They needed an incentive to take responsibility for their families themselves.

Women like the good (?) Dr. Dross are not interested in helping people; they are only interested in helping themselves into power and influence. "We goin' to take care of you, darlin'" Just another power junkie. (See "The King of Hollywood" by The Eagles).

QED. Feckless.


You're talking about the good (?) Dr. Dross, of course. If so, you may use my words. If not, I will hit you with a suit for infringing upon my patent rights.

This story is more about human nature but is also points out the fallacy of wealth redistribution.

Back in the days of the USSR there were two hard working Russians. Yuri and Ivan. They both had the same job at the same factory and lived next to one another in a small Russian village. Both men each had a goat for a supplemental source for milk.
Ivan did not give care to his goat and often mistreated the poor goat. Yuri petted and combed his goat and always made sure that the goat was cared for. In the fall he went to the forest and gathered vegetation to feed the goat during the long Russian winter. Ivan's goat barely produced enough milk to meet the family's need. Yuri's goat produced an excess of milk and allowed Yuri to sell the excess milk and make a few rubles. After a while Yuri was able to replace a leaking roof and made some inside improvements to ward off the rigors of the harsh Russian winter. The final insult to Ivan was when Yuri purchased a new dress for his wife. Ivan was miserable when every day he saw that Yuri meager house was warm and dry. The purchase of the new dress made his home life even more miserable. Every night Ivan got down on his knees and prayed to God to reduce his sorrow and misery. Finally God answered and asked what could be done to ease his suffering. Ivan replied "kill Yuri's goat"

Human nature and wealth distribution are inextricably related.

Lordsweetyjesus what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm talking about the guy with the drool bib who makes sweeping conclusions from mythical facts. Excuse me, I guess the term of art is 'alternative facts.'


Does the "guy with the drool bib who makes sweeping conclusions from mythical facts" have a name?

Excuse me, what part of being specific do you not understand?

I think you have been "conditioned" to be purposely vague.

I was specific enough. If you don't know who I'm referring to you need some adult supervision.

Rioting and looting for the sake of equal rights and justice is like killing Yuri goat.


Yes! But don't expect the lowlife-liberals to see reason. Anarchy is their right - and theirs alone.

It may be their right as a belief, but it is not their right to attempt to impose it on the rest of us. Am I right?

As to food assistance programs allowing the purchase of items "... [you] can't afford," you might have had a look at the rules governing their use: if anyone is so abusing the use of food subsidies, they are doing so with the complicity of whoever programmed the software on the check-out machines and of the clerk using them. That's about as likely as you getting a clue.
Having made a ruin of your credibility, you make your fantasy world even more fantastic with the other palaver you write. To paraphrase Yosemite Sam: "righties is so stupid."
A reply lacking some explanation of how your putative welfare cheats are able to defeat the programming on cash registers will, of course underscore your fecklessness.

Just what the world needs - ANOTHER holier-than-thou communist. (BTW: Yosemite Sam always came to a sticky end. As should low-IQ lefty idealists who haven't a clue what's happening.)

Absolutely right, but not in the liberals' tiny minds.
