There is not a day that goes by that I do not hear someone around me or in the media scream to the world that they have a good intention to save and/or rescue a ‘victim’ from their poor circumstance(s). But in that same statement never ever have I heard, in my lifetime, the good intentioned liberal person beginning the good intention utilizing his or her own resources first. 100 percent of the time, the good intentioned liberal always begins their savior endeavor with the personal resources or life of the ‘Other Guy’.
How many times have you heard that the Darfur population must be saved and the US Military must risk their lives on a humanitarian mission to protect them? You never hear the individual volunteering the US Military willing to risk his/her life. Liberals (Socialist) view their personal existence higher than the military but that is another story.
How many times have you heard (far too many I am sure) how John/Jane Doe is in an unfortunate circumstance, it should be that rich guy other there that should share his/her resources with the unfortunate John/Jane Doe. I always respond, “Well since it is your idea why don’t you contribute the first 100 dollars and I will contribute the next 100 dollars”. As expected the exchange always continues with “Well I do not have the resources to help out but you do”. Then the exchange degrades to I (The Other Guy) am the heartless miser who does not care about the unfortunate individual. Somewhere in the good intentioned Liberal mind, they seem to believe that the voiced thought of caring is more valuable and noble than the resources of the ‘Other Guy’.
It is quite ironic that the personal resources of the good intentioned liberal are always locked up tighter than Fort Knox. It makes you wonder who the uncaring miser really is.
If you ever have encountered a group of liberals under the same roof, it is quite an entertaining spectacle. The liberals always begin to compete how they can out care the other. Once they think they have a declared liberal winner the true fun begins listening to the debate who in the room should pay for the good intentions. The complex excuses avoiding real resource contributions to the good intention are as difficult to follow as the current IRS tax laws. “My fixed income from my family trust has my wallet a little light right now”. “I am already serving on several community organizations”. “I could serve on the committee of the organization and donate my professional services as a tax write-off”.
In my worldview just giving enables non-performance and dependency. I choose to help others who want to help themselves. Often, I have offered to employ individuals in the past a part-time job at 9 to 11 dollars an hour tax-free on my real estate ventures. The jobs would include demolition, trash pick-up, yard work, etc…. Very few have accepted the help. Kind of gives you an idea how selective and affluent the unfortunate really are.
