Quote of the Day
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.
Teach a man about socialism and he eats his neighbours fish for ever, while envying his neighbour for catching fish successfully and regulating his neighbour so he can’t catch as many fish for both of them.

It doesn’t have to be a man. Women can be just as stupid as men.
And not forever. Just until both the person and their neighbor both die of starvation.
“Teach a man about socialism and he eats his neighbours fish for ever.”
Only in an unarmed society. With government controls on top of it.
Not in an armed one.
I like to eat.
It comes between dinner or the EBTclan?
May be my last meal. But I’m the one going to eat it.
Deal with the aftermath once I’ve had my evening coffee.
Don’t knock it. Socialism practically always works. It’s proven. Just look at all the destruction it’s left behind wherever it’s been implemented. There’s your proof;
“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
“Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” Matthew 7:16-17
By the way, for those among the millions of “Christians” who’ve been tempted to believe that coercive redistribution is tantamount to a “Christian” act borne out of compassion, please read the full text of the tenth commandment. You’ll find it in the King James versions (many other version cut it down to a few words, to gut its meaning). Any sort of government welfare system violates every clause of the tenth commandment. And;
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10
In other words, if you covet your neighbor’s goods, thinking to have the government point a gun to your neighbor’s head to take what he has and then give it to your neighbor, you’re no better than a murdering, lying, adulterous blasphemer.. Repent while there’s still time!
The lure of “socialism” works because most people are inherently lazy. They want something for nothing. And socialism promises to give them what they want while making someone else…ANYONE ELSE….pay the price. Of course it never actually works that way form 99.9% of those who subscribe to it….but nobody has ever actually proven that humans are intelligent.
