An oxymoron from a socialist perspective but, true none the less.

Waffler, Smith, Arkansas

The joy of enjoying the fruits of your own labor especially physical labor such as your own food produce or furniture etcetera cannot be overestimated. 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.

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)

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.

Warren, didn't you read the fine print at the end of Waffler's post?  Double-think well demonstrated...

Waffler, Smith, Arkansas

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.
