True independence means to be able to fend for yourself. Tell this to the inheritors of daddie's wealth, whether it be from a government or a relative. And the true joy may not be in the completion but in the activity of striving. Reply Mike, Norwalk Waffler, Smith, Arkansas 6/29/26 Waffler, speaking out both sides of your mouth certainly illustrates the liar that you are. Working for the IRS, you have stated that man's / workers' labors (or any results thereof — money, joy, etc.) are not theirs but rather, the carnal god government's (who's enslavement you enforce) 1 Reply E Archer, NYC Mike, Norwalk 6/29/26 Waffler also admitted he inherited property from his father. Progressive liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds — it's almost always projection and Hegelian Dialectic fallacies, whatever it takes to tear down independence in mind and of body. Most are self-deluded, and many are just simply nihilistic and want to 'burn it all down' by any means necessary. Few, if any, believe in Liberty or God.

Republican for a day? 1 Reply E Archer, NYC warren, olathe 6/29/26 Warren, didn't you read the fine print at the end of Waffler's post? Double-think well demonstrated... 2Reply Waffler, Smith, Arkansas 11/14/08 Yeah Warren Democrats have never worked a day in their lives and all that Republicans due is clip stock coupons. Some folk always fall for stereotypes. I think the best attitude is to be hard on oneself and easy on others. Thus I would make the emphasis to work hard yourself not to make sure the other guy works hard. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
