Look down there, see all the little ants? I’ve got a magnifying glass mounted up on the roof the size of a lighthouse beacon. Wanna a fry a few with me? But, it still won’t be enough…
Make the government grant us the money to stimulate the economy. Bail us out when we fail. For debt is only number in a book and we will dance as long as the band plays and the whiskey flows. Hangover be dam.
The first thought that came to my mind was – Politician talking to his kid. Probably Democrat as they are the ones openly seeking more power in DC. Republicans do it too – they just try to be a bit more circumspect.
Greed is universal. The number of millionaire athletes getting in trouble for dealing in contraband in order to make a few more millions should make anyone sick. Too bad that the proposed answer is to punish those who make their money honestly (yes, there really are those who do this). It is amazing how rewarding it is to live within your means and not feel jealous of those who have more. No one has the right to pick someone else’s pockets for your own personal gain.
There are 2 kinds of businesspeople: 1. The kind who EARN their money and pay a lot of people to help them; and 2. the kind who demand the government “ail them out” and give them all kinds of subsidies. Those (#1s) who have earned enough would quit trying and no longer help others make money.

The rich of the richest still takes more grants, fees, bailouts and services from mama sow government then they pay in. The middle and lower classes get their entitlements. No one wants to step up and pay for anything. We have to many smart people and people in power saying, “Let them eat cake.” The top 1% and the bottom 99 will all be hurting when the party comes crashing down. We all want more////Someday we all will be very happy to have anything. The tipping point is coming.
