He hasn't shrugged yet.... i don't think..... but i'm afraid he might soon with the incoming congress and no strong conservative presidential candidate on the horizon. The thing that scares me the most is how the left uses the politics of poverty to win elections and how easily people are fooled by this trick and continue to buy into a failed ideology.
Here's what i mean.
A dangerous obsession
By Thomas SowellTuesday, December 26, 2006
The media and academia are continuously obsessed with "gaps" and "disparities" in income. As one talk show host put it, "It makes no sense" that a corporate executive makes over $50 million a year.
Ninety-nine percent of all the things that happen in this world "make no sense" to any given individual. Do you understand how your automobile's transmission works? Could you repair it if something went wrong?
Do you understand how aspirin stops headaches? How to make yogurt?
Years ago, a famous essay pointed out that nobody knows how to make a simple lead pencil. That is, there is no single individual anywhere who knows how to grow the wood, mine the graphite, produce the rubber, and manufacture the paint.
Complex economic processes cause all these things to be done and coordinated by a wide variety of people, just in order to produce something as simple as a lead pencil. Multiply that by a hundred or a thousand when it comes to the complexity of producing a car or a computer.
If you cannot understand something as simple as making a lead pencil, why should you be surprised that you don't understand why someone is making a lot more money than somebody else? CONTINUED

It's all very true...Just like how I'm so good looking while you guys are just average at best. It's envy that makes you want to strike me down...Thank your brother from another mother for pointing this out to you.
Ayn is rolling in her grave...waiting.
It is coming, my brothers. I will be prepared only to save my own flock. Work today and everyday until the great shrugging to prepare for what will certainly be a great shock to the masses.
All you can do is save yourselves and find scattered like-minded types to cling to. It IS coming. And it will be brutal.
well....y'all...HAVE A HAPPY DAY>>>>
Let em come. They call em pinkos for a reason...aint nothing but sissies and commies.
I am fully prepared to concede my birth state of California to them. Everything else theyre gonna have to fight for and lest you forgot...we got the guns.

That analogy is so COMPLETELY off the wall it's not even funny.
Is this guy an idiot, or what?
