You two are not making sense.
Ask yourself this...
If one person and everything and the other has nothing....
Which one did the stealing?
Common sense boys....
It makes perfect sense.
One plants in the Spring, tends the plants in the summer, harvests in the autumn and eats during the winter.
Another with twisted logic does not, and then accuses the first of stealing the sunshine and thus the food.
Refuges from hell turn a patch of barren desert into a modern oasis, then other folks try and claim the fruit was stolen from them.
- The earth’s resources, some would say God-given resources, lay fallow due to ineptitude and sloth.
- Some enterprising folks come along and work hard to accept the never-will-be-used gifts of nature (rare metals, oil, etc.), and are accused of stealing the resulting wealth.
- The board game Monopoly is fun because human nature can bargain within the rules.
- One player says to Another,
I played the game right and got lucky, in addition to getting an education and being decent to people, which is about all it takes in a free, egalitarin society where achievement and potential are rewarded, no matter the birth. Since I’m winning and you’re just about out of the game, I’ll give you 10 times the worth of that little property for the deed, just because I can and because I want it for my own purposes. - - The choice is yours to do what you have to do, Another.
- It’s like when some crusader makes a weapon out of highlighting a manufacturer’s use of cheap foreign labor.
- The manufacturer goes bankrupt and the cheap foreign labor, the workers, are left with nothing instead of the little bit for which they were happy to trade their life force, for they would rather have the opportunity to make a little bit than have nothing.
- To have nothing is to be enslaved by poverty, and in a Great Society this naturally can cause an impoverished state of mind to fester.
- To have the chance to make a little bit is freedom, as every kid who used to cut lawns or deliver papers used to know before adults took over the duties.
The conclusion is obvious.
The progressive policies of the Great Society have stolen opportunity from today's youth.
The examples are everywhere.
Of course there is more to it, as you once again have the opportunity to constructively contribute, perhaps with examples in the same vein. For instance, sharper class distinctions have evolved within the past half century. Just look at California. Wealth on the coast, struggling inland.
Did Portugal steal all that waterfront property from Spain, or did Spain steal all that inland property from Portugal?
Will the same thing happen in California?
