If you have ever been in a nuclear/family-values family, you are a socialist

Moms & Dads practice socialism every day of the week..

They pool the resources of the family (their wages) and they redistribute/SHARE those resources with ALL their children..

They do not say :

That smart one over there..the one with the straight A's and the helpful nature, gets extra, and the rest of you get nothing.

They don't say.. That one over there, the sick one..we can't afford to take care of him, so we'll just let his illness run its course.. They take the sick one to the doctor, even if it means sitting all night in a crowded ER... and when the bills roll in, it may mean that the other kids will get a little less, so the medical bills can get paid.

When it's dinner time, all the kids get a meal..not just the ones who happen to agree with Mom & Dad that particular day.

They don't just send the "smart" one to school... they send ALL the kids to school, and they help all of them with their homework, and encourage all of them..not just the smart one.

At vacation time, all the kids go..not just the "good" ones.

Family Values folks practice "socialism" every day of their lives, no matter what they call it 

 :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: They couldn't be funnier if they tried.    :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Taking care of your kids is socialism.   :rotf: :rotf:  I don't know about this joker, but my kids were definitely raised capitilist.  "You want what??  Well, get off your butt and rake the yard, take out the trash, clean the living room, wash the car, and catch up your unpaid chores...and we'll talk about it."   I didn't redistribute cash to anybody without them working for it.   :tongue:

Obviously this dummie never heard of performance based allowances for kids. Punishment is also not meted out in a socialist manner.

Since my daughter is now old enough I let her pick something she wants.  Then I put it on her weekly chore list and how many more weeks she has to go to get it.  It's amazing how often her chores are all taken care of now.

for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.


Nothing in that commital phrase mentioning anything about "Don't sweat it the govt has you covered".

also as strange as it moght seems to the avg Dumpster having steady & reliable incomes BEFORE having children works better for all involved.

When I was growing up us kids in our family got performance based allowances too. Cept it wasn't based on what we got for doing something it was what we would get if we didn't do it.

One thing psychologists have gotten correct is that behavior that draws attention, even negative gets reinforced.  That is the reason that time-outs with young children work. 

I tried to use positive reinforcement with my subordinates as much as possible.  The project failed but my section was commended for the intense effort we put into it.  We damn near did the impossible.

No DUmba$$...socialism is when you expect and feel entitled to take the resources of your neighbor to use as your own.

At least they have finally admitted that they want to be treated like children.  Unfortunately for the DUmmies, most adults hope children are ultimately successful on their own and most adults look at the DUmmies and say sorry you're as far as you can go.

Yeah, it's the low-calorie primitive.

She's inspired me to check into conditions and diseases of women about to enter, or recently entered, the 7th decade of their lives, somewhat stout but not overly so, a reasonably comfortable standard of living, and whose main intellectual interest is hanging out with the "girls," bowling and soap-opera watching.

Because you facilitate the well-being of your progeny, you believe that the government should intervene and redistribute the wealth according to their criteria?

This whole notion is just asinine. This DUmmy needs a few cracks upside the head with a 36" pipe wrench.

I pay them for good grades and fine them for bad ones.  An F gets a fine equivalent to the bonus for an A, ditto with Ds and Bs.  Cs get nothing.

In that case if you've ever accepted a tax rate reduction, you are a supply-side capitalist.

It was the low-calorie primitive who a couple of months ago posted her husband's income (the low-calorie primitive doesn't work, herself) and deductions, "proving" that taxes aren't so high.

However, the low-calorie primitive omitted to list the deductions for social security and Medicare, and things "deducted" from income such as sales taxes, property taxes, "fees," &c., &c., &c.

So, socialism is when the gummit is your mommy and daddy and you is the wittle child.

Dammit, it's called get off your lazy ass and get a friggin' job. I betcha if this bitch had a fulltime job and actually saw the taxes being taken out from her hard work... she might change her tune. Of course, she'd be banned from the DUmp in no time flat for that

You know...these are the same people that find it acceptable to murder the child you can't afford.  I wonder if they give Uncle Sam the right to "choose?"   :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
