A guy looked at my Harley and said I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that motorcycle cost.  I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in Decatur, Illinois at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed.  This is the difference between capitalism and welfare mentality.  When you buy something, you put money in peoples pockets and give them dignity for their skills.  When you give someone something for nothing ( yes, tobie, free stuff) , you rob them of their dignity and self worth.  Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value, Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for.

Are you sure this is socialism, and not the last 8 years of Obama's America?

I don't care what biden thinks. Is it a law not to vote on a justice in an election year? these crooked congressman refuse to even hold a vote and vote no. If Trump continues to speak without the teleprompter and hillary wins, they'll learn a lesson.

We may not like that lesson.  I mean we as in every American.  Hillary will replace Obama as the worst ever.

Im not a reipient of free stuff. If i were a congressman that received tax payer money and refused to vote on a supreme Court  Justice  i woud be. Are a billionaire that loopholed my way out of paying taxes.

No one was accusing you of being a recipient of free stuff.  The story is to educate folks about the advantages of capitalism vs socialism.   To me, there's another lesson in that story.  The initial statement sounds great, but the rest of the story tore it to threads.  Many times I've heard a statement that makes sense, until someone else points out the flaws.  It happens to most all of us.

As for loopholed out of paying taxes,all any of us do is use the laws they write to our advantage and if you dont then your not very smart. Remember the rich (in DC) are writing these laws for their advantage. Simplify the tax laws and problem solved!

Spot on.  If tobie thinks the Clintons don't use the tax laws(loopholes) to their advantage, he is kidding himself.  But I guess they don't because they are good Dems, and they just wouldn't do anything like that.  Yea right!

speaking of the Clintons, their net worth is now over 100 million.  What have they ever made or produced in order to generate that net worth?

What scares me, what have they sold to generate that net worth.  Or, who have they sold out too.  I'm 99.9% sure, at the very least, they've sold their souls.

The Clinton Foundation is a money laundering machine for the donations from foreigners who would like political favors. It's why she is so willing to show her tax returns.....the fortune is clean.

I have already stated that Hillary lies . of course she knows how to play the loophole game, others on this board won't admit that trump lies his arse off and uses every means necessary to not pay taxes. I am limited on what i can do to not pay taxes. I understand that this is a conservative board and anyone that's not conservative shouldn't really be on it. Hillary lies 10 times a day and your candidate lies 8 times a day........Face it, its a possibility we may be looking at President Clinton in november because your candidates open carries and keeps shooting himself in the foot.

I wouldn't call him my candidate, he's just better than the alternative.

I posted about a month ago that Trump has been audited every year for the last 10 years.  I goggled the Clintons and did not find where they had ever been audited.  Does anyone think that's strange besides me?   

If I remember right, when Bill got out of office, they announced they were "broke".  Now there worth over $100 million.  Don't have a business/company.  Guess they hit the lottery.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
