Gap between the rich and the middle class...

[Dogmeat]

And that my dear is a very good point.
It's all about the bling.

My neighbor is a perfect example.
He likes to go boating. Of cource his idea of boating is taking a run around the lake then tieing off with a bunch of other boats and partying all weekend. That in and of itself is no big deal. However he had to have the biggest and best. So he went out and bought a 3/4T diesel (limited edition) and a 30' cabin cruiser (one of those long low sleek looking ones). Now he has the nicest boat in the party, spent over 70 grand doing it. Oh yea, he lost his job because he got popped for drugs and now can't afford to pay for any of the stuff he has. He is waiting for the bailout so he can try to save his house. He still won't sell the truck or the boat. I asked him why not sell it. He said why should I. Obama is going to take care of my house.

I'll tell you what.

I'll supply all the tools, crane, some extra help ...

You supply all the wood and beer ...

And we'll build a CATAPULT .... and then we'll just catapult him a significant distance away ...

Then once we get the catapult dialed in, we'll just tow it around and do the same to everyone else with that mentality.

Anyone on here is welcome to join in, it'll be fun

That would be GREAT.
We actually built one that towed behind a pickup.
We launched bowling balls rolled in tar and lit on fire.
Fired em into a lake.
Cool as chit.

Anyone can be rich if they want it bad enough IMO.

A little story for ya all.

My Dad had to quit school and get a job to help his mom and sisters survive when his mom and dad split. To say he started with LESS than nothing would be true. He worked VERY hard, NEVER gave up and was never bitter tord people who had it all so to speak. One story I remember, He was working at a shop and the owner would get a new car every year or two ( a big fancy car) Well everyone one go out to look at the new car and many people would be pizzed at "THE LUCKY BASTAGE" But my dad would look and say someday I will have one of them. Long story short my DAD made it in life because he busted his azz, worked 100hrs a week for a long long time, Full time job and started his own bis where he worked most of the night and every weekend, Bout killed himself he worked so hard because he WANTED IT.

Now days people don't want to work they like to just sit and complain that the next guy has a nicer car or a nicer house . it does not matter if the guy with the nice house works 80hr's a week and they work 35 and refuse to work anymore. I had one of my people tell me I am crazy for working so much ( he works 40 hrs and will not take OT ever ) well he lives in a run down house and drives a beater car and is always looking for a raise and always complaining about not having any money, me.... I have lots of nice things so I like being crazy I guess. I have others that work for me that will ask for more Hr's before they ask for a raise..... They get both the other guy gets nothing.


I thank my Dad for my work ethic.... Dad is the GREATEST man Alive IMO I have learned so much from him I just wish more people in this country could.

that's funny $hit!

It just sucks for some of us trying to start something & after taxes it's hard to find a reason to work hard when those doing nothing did nearly as well as those of us busting our balls.

Hopefully in the long run it will be worth the extra effort.

I do like the catapult idea. Could take a weekend off to drink beer and watch that go down!
