You heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend.
And you believed it.
With NO attempt to verify second hand hearsay?
Just accept it as true.
And then pass it on as if it is verified fact.
In the hope that others will believe it who are reading this thread.
And any attempt that does NOT result in verifying your claim is just "bullshit".
So, we should all just believe what you say, because you said so.

Oh, I don't know either why I would be "shocked" at you just throwing out some "information".
Maybe it was because I did not believe what you said? Could that be?
I guess I just like to know what I am being told is really the truth.
And so I like to check out myself stuff that sounds like it is not the truth.
Call it taking "personal responsibility", and not just passing along bullsh#t.
edit:
Opps, gotta remember to add a LOL, or a ROTF, or LMAO, to most everything I say.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3, The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

While mentally I'd already come to this conclusion a while ago, verbally I'm pretty done with this thread. As evidenced by Eubanks' last post, the man--like Fatty and all others of his ilk--clearly have nothing to say other than sound bites that have been proven wrong time and time again. It's like arguing with a stupid robot.
Good luck to the others, not that you'll need it. Your opponents on the right are clearly outwitted, clearly outgunned.

Fat Dad's rant, somewhat corrected.
1. You cannot legislate the rich into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of the middle class and poor.
2. What one rich person receives without working for, another middle class or poor person must work for without receiving.
3, The government cannot give to a rich person anything that the government does not first take from somebody else, probably someone in the middle class.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it, but taking from the middle class to benefit the rich is a start.
5. When the rich people get the idea that they do not have to work because the middle class and poor people are going to take care of them, is it any surprise that the poor people get the idea that it does no good to work, because a rich person is going to get what they work for?
I take it that Fat Dad also claims to be a good christian, although how his fantasy manifesto has anything to do with the values and behaviours of christianity is beyond me.

Mighty hiker, it is actually Eubank's rant posted on the previous page. FatDad was quoting it.

Agreed, fattrad, and they also deserve to have a little unemployment help when the masters of the financial universe have so thoroughly destroyed the capitalist system that those same people can't find jobs in the wreckage of that economic disaster.

Mighty Hiker, I'll respectfully disagree with your "correction".
I believe Eubanks "sentences" were referring to our government as the legislate, that have been forcing all of the taxes, rules, and regulations upon us. While he was referring the prosperous as the hard working middle class.
The poor do not have rights to the money that I/we the middle class have earned, because they need it.
If the "rich" are rich because of what their hard work has earned them, they also have a right to their money.
If the "rich/legislate" that have earned their money by a means of fraud and extortion they need be stopped.
apogee, you have the correct idea, "Repugs" or not.
The poor have just as much right to what they earn as do the rich and middle class.
edit*
If they would like unemployment insurance, they should be willingly asked as a business proposition.
If it weren’t a social program, but rather an independent business. I'm sure more people would be glad to put money aside in case of unemployment.
(this would prevent the lazy, from skating on this for extended periods of time)

Poor Eubank.
Fella has run out of ideas and is reduced to regurgitating sound bites from Newt Gingrich. Pathetic.

If you look at the distribution of wealth in the US, there's no doubt that over the last 30 years, there has been significant redistribution away from those in the middle toward those in the top 10%. Likewise, the real incomes of the middle classes haven't changed significantly.
Which proves that Republicanism works - for the rich. Even if it means the death by 1,000 cuts of the middle classes on which all healthy countries are founded, by whatever despicable techniques are needed.

Is Eubank a Repug-bot-droid? He reminds me of 'just passing through', or any other of many such polititard Repugs that have come our way over the years.
Edit: Does he look like this, by any chance?:

"I'm not sure, but I think many Repubs voted for the 99 week extension, the only question lately was how to pay for it."
fattrad, you only seem to pay attention to facts and events that fit your ideologic view of the world, buddy.
There were only like 3-4 Repubs who finally voted for that extension- Collins & Snowe (from the rapidly vanishing breed of rational Repubs), and a couple others. Everyone knows damn well that the Repug resistance to that bill had little/nothing to do with how to pay for it, and was more about remaining obstructionist to anything that the Democratic Congress & Obama puts forward, no matter how negatively it affects Americans.
