This conversation has become very bizarre. I never thought I'd hear someone actually be nostalgic about the USSR and communism. Except maybe one of the politburo members, perhaps. Or one of the "lazy bums" who want everything handed to them without having to actually work for it.
Why has it become a crime for someone to work hard and earn enough money to keep his family well provided for? Why is having more than someone else considered evil? My wife and I have worked our whole lives, saving for retirement. Should we know just hand that money over to people who don't want to work? Why? It's not my fault they're broke.
Ahh, maybe here is the problem! Yes, I own property. I own my home. I own my car. I have PAID for them. When the time comes, I'll happily SELL them to you. And YOU can PAY for them. In the meantime, I continue to pay taxes on them, so that the state can build those roads for everyone to use. Of course, if I can't pay those taxes, the state will take my property from me. Then maybe I can complain about those who pay their taxes, own their property, and live normal lives. Because they've EARNED it!just because someone claimed land as his property first, that doesn't give him right to hog it or ask me to pay.
And that seems to be the crux of Omega22's complaints: Some people are just evil enough to actually EARN more than he does. The reasons don't matter to him, only that they have more than he does. And it also seems to be the problem of the OWS movement, too. They want everything handed to them, on a silver platter. Tax the rich and give to the poor. Until the poor have the money, and then they'll complain about having to pay the taxes.
The only way they will learn that is if their government allows them to become educated. And once that happens they will quickly learn that it is their own government that is the parasite sucking their blood!soon they will identify who is parasite sucking their blood and will try to do something.
