I'm not here to rant throw pitchforks up or making certain claims but we've all grown up on the idea of everyone wins there's nobody left behind but on that take were we subtle messages in upbringing? I'll start with the Wizard of Oz, I don't ask you believe my analysis on this idea but I hold to true to common sense and outside thinking... What if someone was giving us an apotheosis of future business?

Witch of the West = Corporate types, common greddy
Scarecrow = Dub-witted uppers trying to push through wants to be needed
TinMan= the hard-working guy who's logic and services keeps shit running
The Lion= A. Ill be a work number or B. Give me Govn't money
Dorthey = Oh shit welcome to the workforce

What's your idea on this thought, again if this has to be moved, I wanted to toss my reference out and get an opinion.

Honestly, I wasn't brought up on everyone wins and you all get a trophy. If you had a trophy on your shelf it was because you earned it.
Did I read that correctly?

What kind of shit parenting did you have? One of my first “life lessons” I can remember from my father was him telling me there’s winners and losers, asking me which one I wanted to be, and then getting to work. That and life is hard, it’s harder if you’re stupid.

I think you better go check your carbon monoxide detector to make sure the batteries are not dead.

My favorite movie as a kid was Disney's version of robin hood, my favorite show was The Dukes of Hazzard. Here's what I learned...

Robin Hood:
Contrary to common misrepresentations, Robin Hood doesn't steal from the rich to give to the poor. The people are poor because the government is stealing their money through taxes. Robin Hood takes the people's money back from the government and returns it to them. Successful people aren't the enemy, the greedy government that takes your money by force is the enemy.

Dukes of Hazzard:
Cops are just trying to catch you breaking some stupid rule to try to make a buck for their bosses. It's my civic duty to break all unjust rules.

Poor people don't pay taxes. The Government can't steal money they never received.
Earned Income Tax Credit = You may get more money in your refund than you had withheld from your pay. In fact, you may get money back even if you didn't have any income tax withheld from your pay.

44% of Americans pay NO Fed income tax. We essentially live in a welfare state.

This is the dem base. People who get everything for free, and want even more. The only thing dem leaders can do to entice their vote is to promise more free shit.

Conversely, Trump spends the majority of his time talking about jobs.

No wonder Dems hate him so much.

I am aware of the current taxation we have now in America. I appreciate you offering to help, but it seems you missed the point entirely. Did you not detect the satirical nature of my comments or did you think my Robin Hood and Dukes of Hazzard comments were meant to be taken literally?

By the way, the exchequer in middle ages England would often levy equal taxes on the poor, the rich and the clergy.
