Yesterday was our big Fall Festival party at the school where I teach. As a surprise for the kids and parents, I spent my own money to buy the materials to make festive picture frames and spent the last week of my (and my mother's) free time building them. I took my Kodak camera and photo printer to the school so I could take pictures of the kids during the costume parade and print them on the spot for the parents. One of the other teachers (an Obama supporter) said, "You should charge $5.00 a piece for those." I commented that I was just doing something nice for the parents and students. Besides some of our kids are on DSS subsidy and can't afford an extra $5.00, which I pointed out to her. She said, "You shouldn't spend your own money on this stuff." I just smiled and said, "Well, for now at least the redistribution of my wealth is my choice."
It floors me how Obama supporters are all about redistributing the wealth until it becomes a reality... which hits THEM in the pocketbook. My sister, an Obama supporter, just realized that if Obama drops the floor for the privileged upper class any more, she and her husband will be included in that group even though their income is only about par for the course in Los Angeles. When she called to bitch, I just laughed and said, "Did ya already vote??" |
This is an excellent point. It would seem that study after study conducted on the topic of voluntary giving demonstrates that conservatives give a far larger share of their time and money to charity. And not just to religious institutions. It has also been noted that the type of institutions given to by conservatives, tend to be those that work on the behalf of the homeless, hungry, destitute etc. While liberal donations tend to favor arts.
There is one reason, and one reason alone, someone supports socialism...it is because they presume that they will personally gain through the labors of another.
