Default Free "Stuff", now I finally get it!
Finally, someone put it down in a form that I can understand.

The folks who are getting free shit, don't like the folks who are paying for the free shit, because the folks who are paying for the free shit, can no longer afford to pay for both the free shit and their own shit. And, the folks who are paying for the free shit, want the free shit to stop, and the folks who are getting the free shit, want even MORE free shit on top of the free shit they're already getting! Now…..

The people who are forcing the people who PAY for the free shit, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free shit, that the people who are PAYING for the free shit are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So .... the people who are GETTING the free shit, have been convinced they need to HATE the people who are PAYING for the free shit by the people who are forcing the people who are PAYING for the free shit and GIVING them the free shit in the first place.

Got it?

Sounds quite a lot like what's going on down here (Argentina).

A lot of people are living for free on the state money while the other people has to pay taxes to cover the very limited state services for them and for the free-riders.

I just learned that expletives add nothing to hyperbole. Does that count?

For those that don't understand.. Communism doesn't work, capitalism doesn't work.. The only thing that works is to be the one with all the stuff everyone else wants, then you can manipulate everyone elses minds! I think that's called facism!

Speaking for the US anyway, seeing as how we have the economic inequality of Uganda and the Ivory Coast, and upward social mobility has been anemic at best, I am really pretty OK with rich people paying more into the social contract. The inequality has seriously gotten to 3rd world levels. The top 20% of rich Americans control <80% of the country's total wealth, while the bottom 20% control 0.1% (probably less than that by now).
