• Abraham Lincoln Would Cry

  “You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
  You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
  You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.
  You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
  
  – Abraham Lincoln

  So now that the government owns car companies and is forcing them to close stores (stores from which the company receives money, because stores BUY AUTO PARTS), I see that the American auto industry is about to become extinct.  China is buying up what it can now, and as I see it, China is the next world power.  ‘Gotta love it!  When a communist country basically goes to capitalism to beat the greatest capitalist (or rather formerly capitalist, now nearing complete socialism) country in the world.

  Meanwhile, we’ve been forced to get rid of our mutual funds to pay for our federal taxes so that states like California and Michigan can continue their federally funded (i.e. wasteful) programs of expenditure.

  Somewhere in the not too recent past, the goverment acquired a whorehouse in Nevada, due to some kind of tax evasion.  A legal whorehouse, people.  And in trying to run this legal whorehouse, they lost money.  LOST MONEY.  And now the government is in charge of the banks, the credit card companies, and the auto industry.  (Not to mention the schools, for the past half a century. . . oh boy!)

  I better start learning Chinese.
