The poor, the panhandlers, the streetz is watchin

[metoo]

I don't ride the bus, I ride a 450cc. I don't pay rent or utilities, which is how I have more fun than you do, (without a doubt) on 20k (clear) a year. I live on BLM property, moving my little trailer 2x a year, to avoid the heat and cold. I have two "mining claims", which cost me $100 a year each, for the same rights as an owner has, on 20 acres each. You make a lot of very stupid assumptions about people of whom you know nothing at all. I garden, hunt, trap, and net fish, so I have almost nothing in the way of the sort of expenses that typical fool has, and I pay almost nothing to Big Bro or the inept.

This sounds pretty awesome. It honestly sounds like a life I would enjoy - except for the fact that females like nice things. How much pvssy are you pulling back to your trailer? To quote the ever eloquent Jay-Z:

The power of the P-U-S-S-Y,
Thatz why every muther****a in the world dress fly.
Every baller
that can afford it they cop the best ride, for the power of the P-U-S-S-Y.
(Let´s have some fun)
The power of the P-U-S-S-Y, thatz why niggaz get they hair cut, try to dress fly.
Every baller that can afford it he cop the best ride.
For the Power of the P-U-S-S-Y.

I'm ok with this lifestyle, I really am. Let me heat you up a bit though, simply for the sake of discussion.

You ride that 450cc on the street don't you? Who pays for the roads and maintenance of them? Could it be taxpayers? You said you pay next to nothing to Big Bro.

What if you get your leg caught in one of your traps, who will pay for your medical care? Taxpayers? I'll just assume that you don't have insurance given the nature of your lifestyle.

What if you lose that leg after it's infected, would you apply for social security disabilty to cover your living expenses and ongoing medical care, or will you refuse to do so and lay down and die in your trailer?

Say you get married to Ma Kettle and knock her up, gonna let her have a natural birth in the trailer with no actual prenatal care? And when little Johnny needs to go to school, you going to teach him or send him to public schools which are all funded by Big Bro and the taxpayers.

What about the individual rights which are guaranteed to you under the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. Last time I looked, those are protected by Big Bro and the military who have protected individual rights for hundreds of years. Taxpayers again. This allows you to maintain the lifestyle you have described.

You say we are "inept" and "typical fools"? I say you are part of a problem and have nothing to contribute to a solution or the betterment of our communities.

Be at peace brother.

Good post. And here all I thought about was pvssy. Shows my immaturity.

Money buys financial freedom and the ability to shape the direction of the world we live in, if you feel inclined to do so. Bill Gates has done far more to help the lives of the less fortunate than the average volunteer development officer who look down on the 'corporate slaves' that choose to live a life in pursuit of building personal wealth.

In the UK, we seem to be developing a culture, which vilifies the rich and the pursuit of wealth. This is a very worrying trend and given we suffer from an ageing, entitled population I can't see taxes going anywhere but up for the young and aspirational, who will likely bear the brunt of the myopia and fiscal recklessness of the baby boomers.

lol, you probably need to learn economics. In the UK, you have an economy which relies on 70% of its GDP from the finance industry, which is build on leverage, derivatives and all types of flooded markets which are being clamped down upon right now globally. If the finance industry ever really has a crash (next time Government can't support it because they are now leveraged), then the UK is done and dusted.

As it is, the UK is in the sh*tter. It's not about a culture which vilifies the rich and pursuit of wealth. It's about a culture which should foster the brains to move into science, technological development, Government policy, not persuit of wealth for the sake of wealth (which ends exactly where all capitalist societies are now at, in the toilet relying on leverageing up their way out of it, which when that collapses, is really going to put us back into the dark ages), but for the good of an overall productive society. Human greed right now is fostered in the wrong areas and this is going to cause a global meltdown, quite literally, down the track. Our own greed will be the death of our race.

This metoo dude has always been a troll.

Lol. I'm doing an Mphil in Economics, but I'll entertain you for now.

Point out one part of my previous post which has bad 'economics' in it. You've made a straw man argument equating wealth creation solely with the financial industry. 'Evil bankers' and the 'rich' is practically synonymous in the UK, when in reality there are many wealth creators outside of financial services. Lumping them in the same category is damaging the country.

P.S Using words like 'derivative' and 'leveraged' doesn't mean you know a thing about Economics.

Leverage and derivatives are financial market expressions, which is what the UK economy is based upon. It isn't indicitave of my knowledge in economics, but I'm sure I have experience far beyond yours.

Many wealth creators outside the financial services industry in the UK, then yes, that is great. But I think we know most economies rely on their major industries, and in the UK, this is finance which whilst it does help facilitate the creation of trade and wealth creation through credit and capital markets, is also overly excessive and one reason the UK is in such a mess (hence public backlash).

If you want real wealth creators, look at Germany, then again, they are doing so with an unfair advantage of a weak Euro, but their time will come when Spain and Italy come a callin for their bailouts!

The world needs production, fair exchange rate reigemes free of excessive speculation (most of the West) and Governmental manupulation (China), scientific research (who used to be the rock stars of the boom eras), technological development and most of all, Goverment policy to aid in the direction of all of this, including international co-operation. Society values wealth creation, regrdless of it's longevity. Hence, we get boom/bust cycles which create most of the wealth in the world for those who get on early and have the capital to do so in a big way, massive destruction to the average joe trying to make his way in the world and once the mother of all booms (leveraged Government) comes to an end, war over resources will ensue. It's written on the walls already unless Goverments completely alter policy direction and reward the above needed industries rather than those who simply drive boom/bust cycles through speculation and marketing machines.

The brains left UK LONG ago, in the late 70's, when the idiots tried to enforce a 90% income tax. Morons in the US tried the same thing in the '30's, which is what prolonged the Depression. Nobody who is worth a hoot is going to work, run a biz, hire anyone, when over half of their money goes to morons, taken at gunpoint. Instead, they will flee to some other country, or use fake ID, etc to hide themselves and/or income, or just retire on what money they have stashed, in gold coins, trust funds, etc. Then they HAVE no income, so income tax can't touch their wealth.

Anyone who "thinks' that I can't/dont travel or have any fun is seriously deluded. I can spend 15k a year on fun if I wish, and I know ways to make that same money serve the same purpose as 50 k would spent by the ignorant. A case in point, knowing some farmers in S. Africa, and knowing that they desire certain pistols, reloading components, holsters, etc, let me have a 50k safari on 15k, altho I didn't want to keep the heads, and that saved about another 50k, plus a ton of hassle. You just have to know similar "angles", that's all. When the "off season" is for the place you wish to go, cheap ways to live and travel, etc. The experience can be even more enjoyable, when you know that it didn't cost you 3-4 years of your "disposable income".
