Pat Toomey's take on "The story of the little red hen"

[foxrecon19d]

Those holding the mirror will whole-heartedly agree with this video. Those looking into the mirror and seeing their reflection will be totally offended by this video.

Once upon a time there was a moron named Pat. He lied about running a business, insulted people who can't find jobs because of greedy corrupt corporations and banks, and abandoned the elderly and poor. He thought to himself, "How can I get elected? I know, I'll convince people that the same failed policies that caused the economic collapse are really the answer to the collapse. Meanwhile, my wealthy friends and I will steal even more from hard working poor people that do all the work."

The new health care bill will continue the practice of stealing from the haves and giving to the have nots

Well the little red rooster said to the little red hen

Ain't been around since God knows when

The little red hen told the little red rooster

You don't come around now daddy like you used to

This hate speech describes a very small percentage of America.

Americans are smart, hard workers, giving, caring people. No matter what Toomey says.

That children's story is a good analogy to illustrate the absurdity of the collectivist/socialist policies currently being proposed in Washington DC. I think Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations book should be required reading in every economics class.

Jesus Christ these idiots actually believe in going Galt, in a market dictated by demand going Galt only means you surrender your economic powers to the people who aren't the ideological morons you are.

Typically, the wealthy genuinely believe they earned what they have, and that others could be wealthy too if they only tried a little harder or did things a little smarter. They dont see (or conveniently excuse) the things in their life that helped them along for which they werent themselves responsible: inheritance from family, social connections leading to opportunities, luck, avoidance of financial disasters, and the like.

[gxeremio]

It is especially interesting when they try to reconcile their beliefs about wealth with Christian beliefs. The Old and New Testaments are very clear that wealth is not always a sign of blessing from God. In fact, it is often (not always) a sign of a hard heart and exploitation of the poor.

[jeremysmartin399]

Maybe the wealthy have read the Declaration of Independence and believe it when it says that we have "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". The things you listed as giving the wealthy an advantage (inheritance from family, social connections, luck, avoidance of financial disasters) are liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Few things are more anti-liberty than to have a government agent show up and take hard earned wealth, and distribute it to the non-achievers.

And the people who are not successful are incidentally sure of themselves that it is the wealthy's fault and they cook up ideas that the wealthy have always stepped on people or had this right or that right. Of course it couldn't be talent, determination, and hard work, right?! And these bitter individuals conveniently forget the stepping stones that they may have had.
