Reaganomics - giving one dog 10 bones assuming he'll share them with 9 other dogs.

Like unto the concept of Socialism. And that which hopeful promised 2020 Bernie Sanders presidential candidate avows as good for America. Even though those nations he referred to as being excellent examples of Socialist principles were not so because they found Socialism failed their nation and people many years prior.
Socialism. One dog works and earns ten bones and then is expected to hand them to the 9 lazy dogs hanging around his dog house.

If the taxpayer paid for those bones they would be given away, no bone for the one paying the taxes to pay for the bones.

One dog hunts game, one dog stays by A RIVER looking for fish, one stays home nursing young, one was a hunter that is old, he provided for the pack but can't hunt any more some. if some dogs lives works better than why not us?

Yes, but sadly we'd both be dreamers on that score. It is what it is. And for term limits to be enacted the ridiculous part of the matter is, the Legislative body themselves would have to agree by amending the constitution . Not happening. Then they'd have to join the working class and live as tax payer average citizens . And operating under the very laws they passed for the rest of us.

Yes sadly indeed. like I say, the world is marching lockstep towards the antichrist government, and it's foolish to think its going to get being led by a series of Godly men.

I think I would call Trump a Godly man. I'm impressed thus far and especially with how he plays his haters like a fiddle.

It fascinates me to watch the world turn toward the dark side seemingly almost daily. The antithesis has arrived. Good is bad, bad is good. Immoral is championed on the tolerance bandwagon, and morality is bulldozed into the closet.

Trump is but one more stepping stone towards the antichrist. It's a shame that so many have drunk the cool-aid and bought into his lies.

NOT that Hillary would have been any better. Either way, we're screwed.

I tire of the kool aid reference that appears in this type of topic. It's a poor analogy that overlooks the origin of the term; Jonestown.
And as such is a fallacy when thinking to disparage Trump or the Republican party.

And I disagree that America is screwed. Godly people are active in the nation and God is championed by this president. I don't surrender to the enemy without a fight. And it isn't over by a long shot.

Really? Trump promised to drain the swamp. But instead he filled it with the very black-lagoon creatures who tanked the world's economy in 2008 (it amazes me how short people's memories have gotten). He promised health care that was cheaper and all-encompassing, but then tried to take it away from the many to enrich his buddies. He promised tax reform for everyone but only the fat cats got the majority of it, and only the fat cats is permanent. Republicans have poo-pooed the democrats for increasing the deficit - yet they added another 9 billion to that deficit (interesting article in yesterdays paper, all them newly tax-relieved corporations are buying back stock instead of sharing it with their workers). C'mon Michael, you're too smart to be overlooking these things. The emperor has no clothes. He's a stepping stone tool of the devil.

But again, it wouldn't have been any better under Killary.

They are all stepping stones. leading the way to the antichrist. Trump is no exception to the rule.

Your standard for a Godly man and my standard are very different.
I see nothing in Trump's life or character that makes me believe he is Godly or even knows God.
The candidates offered to the voters in the last election was ridiculous.
Total scum.
I refused to vote for the first time in 49 years.

money = tool for accountability
are you saying that the love of accountability is the root of all evil?
