FC Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Interesting read. I don't see any Constitutional authority however to give away taxpayers' money. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304149404579324530112590864 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is nothing in the Constitution that says that you can and nothing that forbids it. Congress has the power, subject to the approval of the voters to spend, almost as it will. But when we are 17 trillion in the hole, giving away money does NOT seem to me to be a good idea. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Congress should not have the right to take from you by force, then give it to somebody else. That's why there are charities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ya know, when 85 people have as much "wealth" as 1/2 of the rest of the world, it does make one wonder. And where is Gates in that 85? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-20/davos-world-which-85-richest-people-have-same-wealth-half-worlds-population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The problem is define "wealth" I have a 140 k small house and some loot in the bank and SS, Now to many that is "poor' but to Billions that is undreamed of wealth. Who decides? karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah, that's the problem, Karl. The current people in charge define you as rich, or rich enough to rob... I mean tax, while leaving those 85 people alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I mean tax, while leaving those 85 people alone.Dr. HessThat is exactly right and it has been that way since Sargon at least.Once you get to the top the problem is STAYING at the top. Living without that wealth as a rich guy in a movie said is like living without eyes arms or legs.So you WILL do anything required to protect your wealth.The problem with guns is that any pissant poor "little person" can blow you or your family away. Yet, you need arms to keep an eye on the other "84" so how do you keep the social order stable? you play mind games.Gotta have "Programs" for the poor...social justice...but for some reason..gee wonder why? These programs never seem to "LIFT" people up. So..we gotta have more programs and who pays? Why the Middle Class. Does two things: Keeps them from becoming the upper class and displacing you or the kids and removes the impulse from the lower class to strive. Sure billionaires give money away..but compare that to what they take in.Sort of like the guys riding ahead of the Duke tossing handfuls of copper pennies to the mob while collecting gold coins in tribute.It is all in the History books....that is why they no longer teach history...but social studies.karlNow I karl, am made of more noble stuff then them evil fatcats. All I want is a 100 yard,,perhaps a 1000 yard pvt range. With cameras on the targets and a few tons of ammo to be replenished as needed. Oh and reloading suppiles, a ton or two and a few kegarators a few more rifles and pistols and some people to clean the guns and keep the place in order...a few serving girls and perhaps a tank and aircraft collection...a small tank range and pvt airport...don't want to be greedy and a nice beach with a house or two for the Hippy and friends...a unlimited account at the bookstore and computer shop...you know just the necessities of life.

FC Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I like the idea of the girls, but they have to clean the guns too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Hess Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Bikini bike washes are pretty popular. Car washes too, for that matter. Why not the Bikini Gun Wash (clean)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 We would have to interview of course. A position of such trust could not be open to just anyone. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
