Can you belive it!

Whoa.

Socialism or capitalism, that seems to be the question.

I listen to talk radio. OK so they are a little radical. But some comments resonate with me. We're all entreprenuers and get only what we work for. So here's a couple of comments from them.

"when we reach a point where the majority of people are getting some kind of government assistance, its over."

"should we really let those on welfare vote? Won't they vote themselves a raise?"



I love capitalism! But that might be because I love to work. It is so invigorating. It is so empowering. It is so self perpetuating. I just love it!




But, some people cannot work and help themselves. I say let's help them. Of course the problem now is who is going to be the 'can they provide for themselves police'.

Let's give them physicals, let's give them psycology workups, let's give them attitude adjustments, let's help with their self esteem, let's lift them to higher ground. Then let's monitor, evaluate, encourage, hold their hand, on and on and on. But let's help them to stand on their own. And lets give them appropriate WORK to do.


The vast majority of people, even those that need help can do something. Let's give them their self esteem back by allowing and requiring that they do some sort of meaningful work and/or service. If we extend a helping hand we are 'paying it forward' and all will benefit.



I believe it is fair to get right in the middle of someone's life and ask tough questions when they will be spending my money. Let's find ways to do it empathetically.

God bless America and the capitalist system!

We are the most ingenious, generous and productive people in the world. Why don't we just go ahead and celebrate this fact!

Have a great day. >;
