Cool quote![views:9073][posts:51]____________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 1:05am - givemeedtilimdead ""] E-Z definitions SOCIALISM = We're all in it together. CAPITALISM = Every man for himself. Both have their pros and cons I guess. All else I can say is that if the day ever comes when the United States Government starts to ASSIGN people jobs, then we will truly be living in a socialist nation. As far as me personally, I would probably benefit from a socialist government, since I technically live in "poverty" to "lower-middle-class" even though I do not consider myself to be in poverty since I have a roof, clothes, food, and internet to make useless posts like this one. I live on my own, and provide for myself with no handout, always have since I turned 18 and my father kicked my ass out onto the streets. I know people who ask me, "Kevin, dude, why don't you get a food card? and a free govt. cell phone? and heat assistance? and all this other shit that I am DEFINITELY eligible for." I can only reply "Because I can survive without them." The only "food assistance" I've ever used were the old-school food stamps that the crackheads would sell out front of Central Haverhill Market Basket back in the 90's before the gov't started issuing the EBT cards. I miss the old ones, the junkies used to sell $40 of food stamps for $20-$30. I didn't feel bad about it either, because the junkies gonna get their shit one way or another, so I "CAPITALIZED" and got double the food, AND the junkies got what they wanted too. Everyone was a winner! |

Yeah dude, try telling any independent roofing or masonry contractor that his/her own financial success does not relate to how hard they have worked, and they will laugh in your face. Perhaps in other jobs what you said may be true, but in the trades, the independent contractors who work hard, and do quality work, survive. The ones who do shitty hack work die off. |
