TO HAVE OR HAVE NOT-THAT IS THE QUESTION- Post 83

Hi,

Greece is sure making the Euro Union look like what it is--A Socialist idea that is bad for the involved countries. The problem is that when one country goes sour, they are all affected and on the line.

And the Greek folks like people everywhere have gotten used to the perks that the Socialist Government gave them and promised they would always have. THE citizens DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!! The so-called "have-nots" benefited from the "so-called haves" sharing their hard won earnings to such an extent that the "haves" are now "have-nots" and the former "have-not's" WILL ONCE AGAIN BE "HAVE-NOTS". NO "HAVES" TO PAY THE BILL!!!!!!!!

THE EURO UNION IS STAGGERING AS THEIR FINANCIAL HOUSE OF CARDS COMES TUMBLING DOWN WITH GREECE at the forefront. France, Spain and Italy HAVE the most financial problems because they have to a large extent embraced COMMUNISM in those countries. EVIDENTLY, A LESSON TO BE LEARNED IS THAT CSP PROMISES of largess to the poor ARE NOT MEANT TO BE KEPT.

THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT COMMUNISM IS FAILING!!!!!!!AND THE PEOPLE SUFFER!!!!!!!

However, should President Obama be over in Europe giving ADVICE on FINANCIAL MATTERS???? This Blogger read that he told FRANCE that they better get their FINANCIAL HOUSE IN ORDER. GOOD ADVICE, BUT FROM A LEADER WHO CAN'T DO THE SAME IN AMERICA????????? NO WONDER THE FRENCH CONSIDER AMERICA A BIG LAUGH!!!!!!!! OF COURSE, IF THEIR ECONOMY FAILS, which it well may unless Greece straightens up and flies the way the COALITION WANTS THEM TO DO, they may be LAUGHING OUT OF THE OTHER SIDE OF THEIR MOUTH.

THE LAST BLOG POINTED OUT THAT the CSPs (COMMUNISTS, SOCIALISTS, PROGRESSIVES) HAD THE EFFRONTERY TO CLAIM THAT THE CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT. This has been particularly amusing since it was SOCIALIST LAWS AND AGENCIES THAT CAUSED THE MARKET CRASH!!!!!! IN ADDITION, COMMUNISM has been notably FAILING ALL OVER THE WORLD including IN CHINA WHICH HAS HAD TO EMBRACE A CAPITALIST FORM OF TRADING TO SAVE THEIR ASSES!!!!!!!!

THAT'S THE SAME KIND OF BRAZEN TEMERITY that OBAMA has in PREACHING fiscal RESPONSIBILITY when his own APPROACH has been TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. HELPING FOLKS HAS TO BE BASED ON SOUND FISCAL PRACTICES THAT LAST AND ALLOW EVERYONE TO THRIVE. NOT 'PIE IN THE SKY" MAGIC AND totally UNSOUND financial FAIRY TALES THAT ONLY DELUDED SOCIALISTS AND THE POOR BELIEVE!!!!!!!

When Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution was told THAT the poor HAD NO BREAD, her reply supposedly was 'LET THEM EAT CAKE". THAT LACK OF UNDERSTANDING LED TO A ROPE AROUND HER NECK which was the nice thing about ROYALTY, YOU HAD SOMEONE TO BLAME AND HANG!!!!!! NOWADAYS WHEN FOLKS COME UP WITH THE SAME KIND OF "let's pretend" SOLUTION to REAL problems, we can't find the CULPRITS. THAT'S WHY WALL STREET AND OBAMA get so much BLAME!!!!!!!!! HE REPRESENTS THE DELUSIONAL, WHO SPREAD THE BLANKET OF SELF-RIGHTEOUS COMPASSION, THEN WHISK IT AWAY JUST AS IT GETS REALLY COMFORTABLE. That tends to make folks REALLY MAD!!!!!!!

Be aware that COMMUNISM has been around since before "CONFUSIONISM" IN CHINA. CENTURIES. IF THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT RIGHT BY NOW AND IT'S STILL NOT WORKING to help the poor, ISN'T IT TIME TO SEEK ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE?????????? CAPITALISM, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS ONLY BEEN TRIED FOR SOME TWO HUNDRED PLUS YEARS AND HAS helped countless numbers to attain worthwhile trades WITH FEWER PROBLEMS.

TRUE, CAPITALISM HASN'T RESOLVED SOME BIG ISSUES IN DEALING WITH POVERTY and that is something that has to come out of a moral and ethical agenda not at present operating very effectively. Education has certainly helped to create a larger middle class to the extent that it has become difficult to find those who are willing to do the everyday tasks that require doing. This difficulty has in turn led to "open immigration" to fill those jobs.

England at one time had a beneficial program of training people to do jobs that normally would go wanting. They made butlers, household help and so forth part of a trained society that took pride in their work and were NO LONGER LOOKED DOWN ON as beneath people. They were simply another segment of society. Unfortunately, the English still maintained a class ridden society, and caused the training that was a good idea to fall by the wayside.

TOO BAD BECAUSE IT WORKS VERY WELL ALL ACROSS VARYING STRATA OF SOCIETY. WORKING IN A GROUP THAT VALUES THEIR LABOR IS WHAT MAKES PEOPLE PROUD. THINK OF THE GROUPS: SPORTS, ARTS, FINANCIAL, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, PILOTS, BROKERS, ADMINISTRATORS ETC. ETC. They ACQUIRE TRAINING, TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORK, AND FIND SATISFACTION IN IT AND DO NOT DEEM THEIR EFFORTS beneath them!!!!

WHY CAN'T WE DO THE SAME for all types of work????????? There is certainly no benefit to looking down on one kind of work while lauding another. IT IS JUST A DIFFERENCE IN TRAINING.
AND NOW, PARTICULARLY WITH TECHNOLOGY, WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING A CATEGORY OF COMPUTER TRAINING IN ALL OUR SCHOOLS SO THAT SOME REALLY UNPLEASANT JOBS CAN BE HANDLED BY ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS.

RETHINKING OUR ATTITUDES MAY BE MORE THE KEY to success in CAPITALISM than other more esoteric and self-serving remedies. THERE ARE CERTAINLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CITIZENS IN ANY COUNTRY THAT SIMPLY WON'T CONTRIBUTE THEIR EFFORTS. BEFORE we got so "nicey-nice" and stopped calling a "spade a spade" but a ROUTINE DIGGING MECHANISM, we used to call that segment of society BUMS!!!!!!!! THE BUMS IN OUR SOCIETY OFTEN PRACTICE WHAT I CALL 'PURE COMMUNISM'. THEY ROB THE RICH to supply themselves (the poor)!!!!!! Unfortunately, they often are not very nice about it when helping themselves to your treasures unless they want the law to catch them and house them for the winter.

I have read that the FRENCH WORK TO PLAY BUT MOST AMERICANS LOVE TO WORK TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING AS WELL AS EARN MONEY TO WORK AT PLAYING. I think that's why volunteer causes are so much more effective here than abroad. We are a nation of DOERS AND THAT has BROUGHT GREAT AND GOOD RESULTS.

IT REALLY ISN'T OUR WISH TO BREED A NATION OF TAKERS INSTEAD OF DOERS. And this is the very area the CSPs do not understand. A LITTLE HELP... A HAND UP NOW AND THEN...A RETRAINING EFFORT...A LITTLE BOOST TO GET ON OUR FEET!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THAT, MY FRIEND, IS WHAT IS LACKING IN MANY OF THE COUNTRIES WHO ACCEPT SOCIALISM AS A WAY OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT IS LACKING IN GREECE. THE CITIZENS WANT THE HAND OUTS. THEY WANT TO LINE UP AT THE TROUGH AND DRINK LIKE SO MANY HORSES CARED FOR BY THEIR OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!

WE DO NOT WANT TO BE OWNED IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WANT TO OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, NOT YOU AND YOURS. OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOO BAD OUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIVING is so derided by other cultures.IT'S A GOOD ONE!!!!!!

MAYBE THEY'D BE IN BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES IF THEY ADOPTED OUR ATTITUDES INSTEAD OF EXPECTING US TO ADAPT THEIR ATTITUDES. Even President Obama acting as a misguided advisor, knows what it really takes to make a country SUCCESSFUL--A GOOD FISCAL POLICY!!!!!!! AS WELL AS FOLKS WHO WANT TO WORK AND GIVE INSTEAD OF TAKE!!!!!!!!!!After all he learned how well it worked in AMERICA.

THAT SAME GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT MADE HIM PRESIDENT!

CHEERS, CONNIE
