Please leave Obama (and therefore politics, which are irrelevant to the issue) out of this. Thank you.
Wow. I really don't know where to start.Nobody said anything about the SB invasions having anything to do with Washington.
Again for you - " Exactly. With all the advertising provided, they could have provided wonderful deals, if only they weren't constrained by having to grant freebies to all the principals. Too bad it's not a non-profit club sort of atmosphere where all the people could have realized the benefits of group savings and not just the organizers. "
Obama poison word for word. Wealth redistribution to the undeserving simply believing they are deserving because they exist. The Obama promoted "entitlement" mentality of if you make more then me, you should give me some of yours so I can benefit from all your hard work and risk taking. Mossman believes Pete should give everyone some of his, because Pete's got too much.
I think what is irrelevant is when somebody tries to tell a business owner that they can't financially benefit from all their hard work and risk taking and they should pass along those rewards to people who have no rights or claim to them. That unfortunately is where we are in 2011, to the point that somebody can make a statement like Mossman did to Pete and almost nobody is shocked by it.
My father would have read what Mossman said and his comments would have been simple, he would have shaken his head and muttered "My my, the balls on this one."
Read it all again S-L-O-W-L-Y and keep doing it until you can understand it spells out - S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-M.
Here are the key words : "where all the people could have realized the benefits of group savings and not just the organizers. " - read those words again and again until you can understand they spell out W-E-A-L-T-H - R-E-D-I-S-T-R--I-B-U-T-I-O-N
Doesn't have anything to do with the infirm, throwing old people under a bus or Sarah Palin. It's about somebody (Mossman) trying to tell a business owner(Pete) they should forego the rewards for their risk taking (profits) and give them to people who don't even PAY ANYTHING to Pete for anything, so that Pete can S-U-B-S-I-D-I-Z-E their freak'n vacation. ARE YOU SERIOUS????????
This is how out of wack this country has become that I even have to point any of this out.
Go into Starbucks tonight and tell the manager you'd like him to contribute part of his salary to lower the costs of the stores coffee expense so you can get a cheaper cup of coffee. See how that works for you.
