Mike's Musings: Sharing With Those With Less

By Rich Kozlovich

 

My friend Mike has once again sent me some worthwhile thoughts, such as Michelle Obama saying in 2011 those who have more should share with those who have less.  Interesting.  She and her husband own a 19 million dollar "cottage" with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms at Martha's Vineyard, along with two other "cottages", and I don't think there's a homeless person in sight.   Nor are any camping in their yards.  They're sharing them though.  You can drive by and gaze in amazement and awe. 

Then there's Bernie, who just thought the Soviet Union was such a paradise he and his wife honeymooned there.  Imagine that!  The way he talks he condemns everyone who's well off as evil, in effect saying those who climbed to financial success did so abusively on the backs of others.  Yet he owns four houses, and has a net worth of at least two million dollars, and did it by writing a best selling book.  He kept the profits, and lectured all the rest of us on how capitalism is evil.  

He was a radical for all of his life, and most of his life was in radical politics, and for all of his life he's promoted the idea of overthrowing American capitalism and turning America into a socialist "paradise".  You know, like Venezuela.  Does that sound like cognitive dissonance to anyone besides me? 

These are the same people who advocated penalizing American citizens who didn't have health insurance, and want to "give" health insurance to illegal aliens.  But that's how leftist share.  They make  American taxpaying citizens "share". 

The difference between a garbage truck in 1950 and today?  CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News, etc., is written on the sides of many modern garbage trucks.  And finally, why is it you can burn an American flag with impunity because it's free speech, but can be sent to prison for burning a gay flag because it's a hate crime?

Just a thought or two from Mike.
