51FALCON Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It was not founded on lazy, lathargic, apathetic, losers who sit around wondering what the government should do for them just because they were born here. It was not founded on giving money to those who do not work. It was not founded on penalizing those who do work. It was founded on the reasoning that those who work hard will make a profit. Period. Many will benefit because they will get jobs. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know oil companies make almost 6 cents for every dollars worth sold? Most of it goes to the government. Yeah, higher oil company profits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus our almost unprecedented caring of our poor, sick, and debilitated in this country. I think some may call that "justice"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.Thomas Jefferson Its amazing how prophetic our founding fathers were.
