sparking husband primitive will comply

There are times when we are asked to do something for the common good that is not necessarily best for our personal good. When asked, we generally comply.

I expect we'll be asked again today.

I expect we'll comply.

But wouldn't it be groundbreaking if our corporate citizens were also asked to do something for the common good? Wouldn't it be remarkable if banks were asked to slow down on the foreclosures and speed up the issuance of new loans? Wouldn't it be quite something if the companies planning layoffs instead found a way to spread the burden wider by cutting back hours for everyone? How about asking the bonus-entitled to live without theirs. Perhaps businesses planning to move their offices consider the many enterprise zones, or even just our inner cities? How about asking the richest and most profitable companies simply sharing that wealth by sponsoring programs usually funded by government?

The call to serve and the call to sacrifice should be universal. If corporations want to remain as 'persons', they need to act like persons.

You were asked to do something for the common good of everyone the last 8 years and you didn't comply.

Tell ya what, we'll comply with B. Hussein the same way you complied with Bush.  Of course, our compliance, or lack thereof, will be noticable and will upset you greatly.  All your non-compliance did was create good laughs and entertainment.

I will resist.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Corporations don't pay taxes and corporations don't give to charities.  People do.

Why don't banks just take all their depositors money, multiply it by the number of depositors, and make all accounts equal?  Better yet, why don't the banks just allow a new depositor to declare the value of his account?  How about giving away a new home with every new account?

Wouldn't it be something if this had already been done and you heard nothing about it until it didn't work and layoffs had to commence?

The stupid.  It burns.

Maybe Husbs can show the way by lowering or eliminating the rent he charges his tenents.

Somehow I doubt that is what he has in mind though.

Well now, actually the sparkling husband primitive has a good idea there.

How about the sparkling husband primitive, rather than having comfortable rental units for the affluent in Baltimore, having some comfortable rental units in "enterprise zones" himself?

"Wouldn't it be quite something if the companies planning layoffs instead found a way to spread the burden wider by cutting back hours for everyone?"......40 years ago I work for a large company that would do that. They would put it to a vote....a vote for "P" days....voluntary days off so your fellow workers of lesser seniority could keep their jobs....It was always the liberal DUmmies that couldn't and hadn't managed their money that rejected them and people lost their jobs.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

The dummies apparently think that they are only included in the "common good" as recipients but not as givers.

Wouldn't it be remarkable if banks were asked to tell their shareholders and investors "screw off, we're giving your money to somebody who'll never pay it back" and speed up the issuance of new loans to people that'll never pay it back even though they don't have the money to lend? Wouldn't it be quite something if the companies planning layoffs instead found a way to spread the burden to only the shareholders and investors by operating at a loss? How about asking the bonus-entitled to live without theirs. Perhaps businesses planning to move their offices consider the many enterprise zones, or even just our inner cities where their employees can get shot at, mugged on the way to their cars after work, and the office can be burglarized thrice weekly? How about asking the richest and most profitable companies simply sharing that wealth by subsidizing their incompetent competitors?

Fixx0rated for you, Husb. Actually, it's not so much "fixed" as simply translated from 'Bat to English.
Never demand that which you are incapable of taking by force, DUmmie.

You know, the sparkling husband primitive reminds me of people who look around when the hat's being passed, to see what others are chipping in, and then decide how much to contribute based upon that.

Not exactly a charitable, or disinterested, way to be.

I think the sparkling husband primitive should look around to see what he has, rather than what others have, and make his sacrifice. 

The sparkling husband primitive has a basement with a bathroom, cable television, and internet connection in it; perhaps he could hire some of that non-union, under-the-table, labor to build a kitchen down there too, and then sacrifice the space for a homeless person.

Oh much worse than that my friend. When they tried to do that recently here in kalifornia, the compassionate liberals ran to the court to stop it so fast it would make your eyes spin.

For people who deride the so-called "I got mine" philosophy, they are the first to actually demonstrate that is exactly what theirs is.
