Good question! Here is a very general answer: Bobby's daddy is unemployed and has statred to hate himself so he drinks too much and ends up even more depressed and takes it out on the family. Bobby had a black eye yesterday from "running into the door."

 

But then Gatorman took control! He set up more a system where taxes rose moderately and jobs were created in all sorts of ways. Bobby's daddy got a job and the situation improved dramatically. Bobby now is on the honor role. The people love Gatorman

 

So to summarize the connor_tard economic plan:

 

1) Raise taxes

2) ??

3) Profit

What job is Bobby's drunk dad gonna get?

Breaking rocks in the prison yard?

 

Bobby's got himself cleaned up is now working on one of the new infrastructure projects that have created millions of jobs across the country. He was an electrician until he went home one night and the neighbor, Mr Winslor, was humping Bobby's mom. That's when he...

....realizes that even with a decent job the quality of your life depends on the decisions you make. He realizes this after he's hauled away and put in prison for life for killing Mr Winslow.

Not quit! While looking for a gun to shoot at anyone in sight--as happens so often in our society--Bobby's dad realized Gatorman had banne d guns and couldn't act upon his impulse of murder suicide. Sure, he grabbed a lamp and came at Winslow, but Winslow kick him in the groin and ran. So, we see how the good Progressives have created an environment where people came live and be reasonably happy...well, after the divorce and all.

Not quite. See Winslow is a criminal. He doesn't follow the rules and carries a gun with him. Seeing Bobby had only a lamp to protect himself Mr Winslow shoots him. As Bobby lies bleeding out he is heard to curse that dumbass Gator for taking away the guns from the law abiding citizens to protect themselves against criminals like Mr Winslow.

 

The End

I want to figures on this! Where is the data!!

 

 

That's a joke of course :)

 

We know it's a joke. Whenever you're pressed for data or actual information you run away. Like when I asked you earlier to give the specifics of your plan -- you've got nothing and you know you've got nothing, yet you persist.

Because he doesn't want to obfuscate with facts and details.

It was Bobby's dad, not Bobby

If shareholders (owners) are good with it, then why shouldn't I be?

 

Because it doesn't really belong to them,

 

Listen closely to the people who yell about a CEO's pay. Look at who they follow. Watch who they respect. You will find a common thread that gave Obama grief for a moment, but everyone ultimately ignored. His ridiculous "You didn't build that. Someone else made that happen." stupidity.

 

That wasn't a mistake. He repeated something Elizabeth Warren was credited with saying during her Senate run, but lately I'm reading it was actually taught by some professor at a Northern Cal university.

 

They genuinely believe that successful people would never, ever, ever be successful if the federal government did not exist to provide the things they need...roads, bridges, etc...in order to be successful.

 

So, is that money really the CEO's? Really? Shouldn't more of it go back to the federal government which, in their mind, is solely responsible for that success? Listen to their rhetoric. They don't say "You didn't build that alone because you had help." They state, simply, "You didn't build that. Someone else made that happen."

 

You didn't build your success. The federal government did. It's not your money. It belongs to the federal government.

 

This is how they think. This is what they believe.

Don't overlook the luck meme that's also picked up steam. If it wasn't the federal government that was responsible for your success, it was pure luck. Nothing else.

Not only were you lucky, you obviously exploited labor, cheated someone, or raped the environment as well - if not all three.

Don't forget that when they make "too much" money, it's a "windfall" that has to be returned to the rightful owners of the money.

Actually no one had a gun and so no one got hurt. In your story, no matter who had the gun, people got killed. Not in mine

 

Yes but in my story Bobby's dad had a gun to protect himself. He spent lots of time on the range because that's what legal gun owners often do. He also took a home invasion course so he know how to handle himself in these types of situations. Mr Winslow being a criminal never went to the range and because of that was a terrible shot and had no idea how to handle himself in this situation. So he's dead. Yay!!! One less scumbag on the street.

 

Why in your story did no one have a gun?
