more Facebook propaganda

Found this gem by a person I have known for years but she thinks that every minorit in the world is sucking America dry by drawing unemployment, welfare, and food stamps. Not only that, but that they are living marvelously wealthy lives as well. Makes me want to scream!


These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read.

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

1. Wow...talk about Straw dogs. First, numbers 1,2,3,4 are the same thing.

When a Government sets up a system paid for and FORCED upon the poor by the wealthy and the system greatly benefits the wealthy, of COURSE the poor have to receive help from the wealthy or else the wealthy will not become wealthy from exploiting the poor.
IF the poor received the pay and benefits that are DUE TO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE,
they wouldn't be poor. (and the wealthy couldn't bitch so much)

#5. Where in the hell did someone get the idea that HALF the citizens don't want to work ??
That leads back to the erroneous idea the being poor and homeless is "really not that bad"
"Shit yeah, I'm getting like 5-7 dollars a day to sit on my ass"
Total bullshit.

2. Republicans are only interested in capitalism when it serves them

They don't want unions, but labor is the most valuable capital workers have. Workers organizing is a way of them trying to capitalize on their biggest asset. But no, they're fine with the government stepping in and ending that. The thing is, they think it's fine for government to redistribute the wealth when it's from the 99% to the 1%, but when that creates a system where tons of people are living in povery, all of a sudden they scream "socialism" whenever anyone needs help feeding their family.

3. Sickening thought process. Also, totally wrong.
