It's All About A "Free Ride"

 People engaged in today’s debate over this and that try to complicate things so only THEY will fully understand things. But it is actually very simple. Some people want to get a “free ride.” Others don’t, and don’t want to finance that “free ride” for the other side. In Ayn Rand's prophetic “Atlas Shrugged,” one of the hallmarks about which she wrote is this” “The intelligent man knows he cannot CONSUME in his lifetime more than he PRODUCES.” It’s quick, and simple. And incomprehensible to those who want a “free ride.” Which includes ALL liberals. They deny it vehemently. They couch it in many ways, but it still all boils down to a “free ride” at the expense of others. Meanwhile they try and kill those who are financing their free ride. I have to laugh at the stupidity of people who oppose the opening of ANY Wal-Mart store because it is companies like Wal-Mart who FINANCE their “free ride.” Whenever Wal-Mart opens a store they create hundreds of well-paying jobs, whose work FINANCES the “free rides” for others.. People line up for blocks to be considered for one of those jobs. Wal-Mart’s prices cannot be beat by anybody who does not operate the same way they do.

Yes, they import many things from communist China because they cannot AFFORD to pay the prices required by companies that make similar items in the United States, then sell it for a price people will pay. And why is that? Because  employees keep demanding higher and higher wages to produce those products. And why is that? Because the government keeps printing money, making every dollar in their pocket worth less. The government keeps raising taxes higher and higher while placing taxes on more and more things, taxing them many times on the same money. This forces them to demand higher wages, which causes their companies to charge higher prices, etc., etc. Liberals set out to “kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.” They think they’re doing something good when they condemn “big corporations” for their miseries—when it is the GOVERNMENT which creates all the problems they face. They blame the “big corporations” for their woes, but they can’t explain why, except to say they “feel” the big corporations are screwing them. They “feel.” That’s it. But “feelings” are not facts for anybody except liberals. They think, way down deep, that they’re OWED a living, and others should pay for it. That translates into a “free ride.” If you look closely at ALL their “demands,” you’ll SEE the “free ride” they’re demanding. (Just common sense)
