let’s get down to brass tacks folks,
what we are witnessing in the USA today is a movement from above towards redistribution. The president has said as much.
now consider these facts, before we go off blaming evil capitalists and their disregard for the poor;
-the poor in america receive something like 30thousand a year in entitlements between housing, education, job training, food and health subsidies.
-poor in america means you get three meals a day, you have a 1 bedroom apartment and you only have one tv.
-poor in Sierra Leone or Equatorial New Guinea means you live in a ditch by the side of the road with no means of subsistence.
-we have an epidemic of OBESITY in America, not one of starvation. I cannot site a single case of starvation in this nation in recent history, save for mental illness.

the redistribution appeals to many people as it did to many people in Venezuela because it means basically pressing the RESET button in the game of life.
let’s shuffle the board once again and see if I can come out on top.
let me tell you, the only people coming out on top will be thuggish opportunists and vermin politicians.

Pete:

(A) One of my internists stopped taking any insurance. Now I have two internists, one in plan, and the one who takes no insurance who I see for an annual check-up and when I need a second opinion; and

II. I watched the beginning of “Outrage” the other night. Loved the Larry Craig opening!

You’re going to get hell around here for this!

I think we need animated atavars because yes, that can happen. Or we’ll be tacking huge disclaimers at the bottom of each post: yes I said move to Yonkers but I only meant it in a comparative way of showing how we all can find affordable housing near a great casino/racetrack. 🙂

as to my award- benson and I won for best rivalry. Sort of like Capulets and Montagues. I had to share the mercurial award with 11217 which upsets me no end as he has not offered to scratch my eyes out with walnuts nor share his blonde wig. Of course I have not offered to poke his eye out with my broomstick either. (Which in my defense I did offer to do to biff yesterday- only pointing up my generous and sharing natue).
