              A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

              She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

              One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.

              The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

              Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

              Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.”

              Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”

              The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, “That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”

              The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”

              If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

              If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

              If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

              If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

              If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

              If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

              If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

              If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

                      The real question is what would have happened if McCain and Palin were in office now. The rich would have been paying 5% taxes. We would have been fighting 5 wars with Russia, Iran, China, Afghanistan and North Korea simultaneously and the oil companies would have been gouging gas at $6 a gallon.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.” Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.” The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, “That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!” The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.” If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!) If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."

                                                        This has nothing to do with political affiliation. We are now at a point that we can no longer support these people. They are not entitled anything. They have been given charity and its time to stop. Society must come before individuals and now the whole is suffering because of the financial burden these old ***** get for healthcare, disability, social security and they put almost nothing in.

                                                            You do realize everyone got a tax cut, right? And that the rich still pay the great majority of the taxes, and provide 90% of the jobs?

                                                            Idk about you guys, but I have NEVER gotten a job from a poor person

Too much fukking hate and too little compassion in this country. For about the 10th time on this forum, here is the answer, if this place is starting to suck so bad, most agree it is, STOP having children, solves a lot of problems. Oh it adds one to be sure, no next generation to spur the economy and pay social security for us fukks. Big deal. Look around you. Do you want your children living amongst all the dumb fukking cold assholes that only think of themselves? Not me. Good luck Gentlemen.

They are not entitled anything. They have been given charity and its time to stop. Society must come before individuals and now the whole is suffering because of the financial burden these old ***** get for healthcare, disability, social security and they put almost nothing in.
                                                                      What do you do about old people who don't have enough to live, for one? Secondly, people who paid into the system should get benefits. Thirdly, you want to get younger people voting more to deter catering to old people; making it more convenient to vote comes to mind.

                                                                      Aren't you the guy who said a handicapper going 4-5 was 80%?
