Funny part is ..when you libs talk..you dont talk..you say alot but say nothing.
If you are so smart and my thinking is so dumb then explain how taking from 1 to give to a free loader makes sense..lets hear it.

And you try your typical lib games by trying (childishly) to twist my words.
Did I ever say I dont want to pay taxes...Hmm no.
So if you want to play this word game..ok we play it.

NV, it's called a parable. It distills the essential parts of the story into a meaning that's not cluttered with false arguments, lies, and spin.

The parable that was told matches up with the current administration's plans very well, whether you agree or not.

Yes, and parables are useful in teaching some basic aspect of human behavior. The economy is too complex to be reduced to a parable.

Ah, yes. The old "supporting freeloaders" argument.

Show me the freeloaders, how many of them there are, how they are impacting the economy, and then you can make an argument. You'll also need to show why not "supporting freeloaders" would be preferable to supporting them.

Your little story is full of cute fluff, but lacking in actual facts.

This story forgets the part where the company goes bankrupt and the little red hen gets fired and all the top execs get millions in "restructuring" bonuses.
Life isn't a fairy tale, folks. Some people take advantage by being lazy...some take advantage by grabbing the spoils and only sharing with their "good ole boys".

In many cases, these are one and the same people.

Actually it's not. The parable was pretty much on the spot unless you are of the ilk that likes to muddy up the water to confuse and obfuscate.

even in a parable it is known that not every point matches up, and in the end, it can only serve as a semi illustrative example.

this example has lost any power that it originally had by the prepubescent antics of the opening poster, who seems not to have any understanding of how to hold an intelligent debate with others.

Lol intelligent debate...thats funny.
Show me 1 Lib/Dem that you can have a debate with.
Listen bottom line is...the cute fluff story as you call it is right on the money..and that bothers the hell out of liberals.
You live in a fantasy world were you think if we "take peoples money and give away to others" then all will be right.....wrong !
Cant work, will never work.
When Obumer is gone so will his policies.
