    Wealth Redistribution

    in Spray

    Posted

    :pagetop: says, here are some quotes ya'll otter read:

     

    "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

    – Ben Franklin

     

    "I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading them or driving them out of it"

     

    -Benjamin Franklin

     

    "To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers have acquired too much, in order to spare to others who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equaled industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'to guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.'"

     

    -Thomas Jefferson

     

    "The utopian schemes of leveling [redistribution of wealth], and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional."

     

    -Samuel Adams

     

    And from another great leader in our history.

     

    "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they COULD and SHOULD do for themselves."

     

    -Abraham Lincoln

    Won't somebody PLEASE think of Joe the Plumber???

     

    Apparently Obama is. You otter CLICK HERE

     

    Update Oct. 16: ABC News reported the morning after the debate that Wurzelbacher [aka "Joe the Plumber"] admitted to a reporter that he won't actually make enough from his new plumbing business to pay Obama's higher tax rates. ABC said his admission "would seem to indicate that he would be eligible for an Obama tax cut."

    Those folding japanese saws are great for sawing soil/roots/dirt out of cracks and of course for sawing small bushes/trees that are too big for clippers. A regular screwdriver is good for smaller cracks.

     

    The stiffest wire brush you can find will be good for cleaning surface lichen/moss.

     

    Highly recommend goggles and face mask while cleaning to keep that shit out of your head. Inhaling lichen/moss is probably not good for you, and is certainly painful in the eyes.

     

    Those are the things you otter use.
