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

[nefertiti]

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.

Reminded me of this:

Welcome to the Republican Party

A couple of things.

1) That's not the Republican party. If it was, then you wouldn't of had socialized banking.
2) The survival of the fittest mantra that the 'Republicans' seem to preach seems to work great when there is a socialized system to protect them. Hey, I know. Why not move to a third world country and see what the survival of the fittest really mean? Let's hope your kid doesn't get sick over there.

isn't it, it was just so simple for him to see, a child of 11...

Just wait, he'll become more and more exposed to the liberal philosophies preached in mainstream media and he'll end up with a foggy mind like most of the others now. Tell him to stay away from CNN at least.

What's your definition of "hard work"? lol
