true story, my eleven year old son figured it all out for himself....

My son and I were studing his history, the Minoan and Mycenenean civilizations. As we studied, one of the questions was, "Did the Mioans have a redistributive economic system?" the answer was "yes". He asked what that was and I read the text explaining that all the people were taxed their grain that they grew and they had to give it to the government, in turn the government gave back part of the grain for them to use, everybody got back about the same amount to use for the next year. He said, " What if you owned more land than other people and you were a hard worker and made alot more grain than some of the others who were lazy and didn't work hard, that's not fair, you should get more. That would make people not want to work, just be lazy and let everyone else make the grain."

I looked at him, he's TOTALLY serious looking back at me. All I said was "Welcome to the Republican party." LMAO

and then had to explain that. Hell, he's 11 damnit, and HE got it.

It amazes me that an 11 year old gets it, but the concept is so hard for apparently half of this damned country.....

Reminds me of that peanut butter commercial with the mom and the two boys. There is only one slice bread so the boy have to share the sandwich and the one boy is whining that he wants to cut the sandwich in half and the mom says ok you can cut it and after he does cut it with the larger side nearest to him the mom says but he (the other boy) gets to pick which piece he wants. (The other boy who did not cut the sandwich unevenly picks the larger side that the boy who did cut the sandwich clearly wanted.
