I don't know whether to laugh or be pissed as hell, so I laughed first, until I realized they were all true stories.



The local government in San Jose, Calif., grew green with envy when cheerleaders from Lincoln High School scheduled a car wash to raise the money to take their yells and acrobatics to a national competition. Killjoys from the San Jose Environmental Services Department were dispatched to shut them down. Their dreams crushed, the cheerleaders had to send out emails to say that City Hall had declared their car wash “in violation of water-discharge laws, therefore we had to cancel this and all future car washes.”


Lemonade stands blossom like honeysuckle every summer, and the kids can feel solidarity with the cheerleaders. They’re often targets of regulators with a taste for child abuse. In Bethesda, parents were fined $500 when their children were discovered operating an unlicensed lemonade stand. Half the proceeds were marked for pediatric cancer research. Town officials in Coralville, Iowa, dispatched cops to close down the lemonade stand of 4-year-old Abigail Krutsinger because she failed to obtain a $400 city permit.


“Marty the Magician,” who tickled kids in Springfield, Mo., was told by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to produce a copy of his “disaster plan” outlining how he proposed to rescue his magic rabbit in event of fire, flood or tornado.http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/29/editorial-cracking-down-on-the-kids/

What is to get?

The leisure class is independently wealthy enough to not have to work a 9 to 5 for a living, and you are jealous.

Or where am I wrong?

Show me where in world history merely working hard, or rather, hard working conditions, were enough, without more, to become wealthy.

I will grant you, early 20th century miners were exploited, particularly in Appalachia.

Labor unions came in and did a lot of good, those changes were then largely codified under law, for the benefit of all now.

But working for others will always mean working for less.

Getting ahead is about taking risks, every successful person I know took a lot of risk to get there.

I only had one of those radical leftists professors that really went way off topic in class to drive home socialism.

He was talking one time about a job he had when he was younger. He spoke of doing a lot of hard manual labor for little pay. Then he would see the owner drive up in his new truck, get out in his clean clothes, walk the job site, talk to the workers.

Py professor then talked about the resentment he felt towards this man. He expressed a thought he had; "here I am doing all this hard work, and this guy is making so much more money than I am."

He said this was terribly unfair.

I was the lone voice that spoke up to ask him what was unfair about it.

He chuckled and said, "it's pretty self evident, is it not?" and he continued on with something else.

I spoke up again, interrupting what he was saying, and asked him, to explain it to me, because I can't see an unfair situation. I said what I see is a man who took a bunch of money, invested it in equipment to start a business, and hired people to work for that business, at a wage both parties agreed to, so again, I fail to see how it is unfair.

My professor was obviously irritated. He said it wasn't a mutually agreeable wage, he said there was no possibility to ask for a raise, and that it was either take what he offered, or quit.

He continued with his lecture...

Again, I interrupt. I asked him if this man had people at his house, holding members of his family hostage unless my professor worked for this wage? He said no.

I asked if there was anoneone forcing him to work there against his will in anyway. He said no.

I asked if there was another job across town that paid significantly more, but for some reason he was not permitted to apply, he said no.

So I asked him again what was unfair.

He asked me to leave the class for being disruptive.

I have never been able to get an answer from a lefty about what is unfair about a situation like this.

Can you all enlighten me?

BnB, do you really think you'll get an honest answer from any of these twerps?
Look at the contents of their posts, and they all claim to be grown men.
In all honesty, can you picture a grown man posting a bunch of childish crap like that? I guess this is considered, coloring inside the lines, eh.
