Well stated jack. I agree with everything that you said. And Squid, you are right. It is the people like ringo that are making this country worse than what it should be. The problem is that everyone is looking for a hand out. I have never asked anyone for anything. I don't buy frivolous things, I spend my money to live. The G.W. stimulus check, it was okay. I knew that it would not stimulate a thing, but it was a good try. The theory was there. I took my $600 and was able to buy me an XBOX 360. Thanks government. There is a huge illustration there. I would not buy one with my own money because it was not high on the scale of important things to pay for. But involve the government, and I go and get the damn XBOX 360. When everyone is sitting around waiting for the government to buy them EVERYTHING(not just an XBOX), where is the money going to come from? What incentive does the "rich" or "corporate" man have to continue to be rich when everyone else is getting it for free? And when they stop working and the businesses in this country shut down, where does the free money come from? Just curious. And when there is no money to be found, there will be nothing but mass violence, chaos and the great United States will become a third world country that religious zealots in China will be airing commercials about little Joann, who has no mother and 4 brothers that she takes care of, no food, there will be a suggestion that the watcher donate money to the fund so that the little American child can eat.
Sad..The only thing the government that is in power right now wants to do is destroy all American values and rights. So they may take control.
And all because of thought processes common to ringo's.
