Dear Occupy Anywhere

Dear Occupy Anywhere,

If you’re mad at corporate tax loop-holes... who allows them? ANSWER: The GOVERNMENT!

If you’re mad about tax incentives to send jobs overseas... who encourages this? ANSWER: The GOVERNMENT!

If you’re mad about high prices and fees by corporations... who regulates things to death causing the corporations to pass along the cost to the consumers? ANSWER: The GOVERNMENT!

Wall-Street is not innocent and government is not always wrong... but it seems to me that the Occupy folks are missing the point on some major issues.

Dear Socialist...

Dear Socialist, Or anyone who would seek to protect me from any pain, suffering, discomfort, adversity, or failure in life (through Govt action)...

My pain teaches me.
My suffering grows character.
My discomfort dispels complacency.
My adversity illuminates blessings.
My failure produces wisdom.

The child who always gets what it wants... is always made comfortable... is always protected and never exposed to adversity will be a spoiled and unthankful brat. Like spoiled milk, the brat is a stench in the nostrils of all he knows and is good for nothing.

I am not suggesting that we seek these things; however, if you’re alive, you are going to have them. A wise person understands this and learns from them. A fool takes no lesson and continues on his way, expecting others to clean up after him.
