Most Conservatives help the poor through their churches, through non-profit organizations etc. Even some of the wealthier ones support various charities and start organizations to assist the poor. There are many in my community who have done so. They just don't happen to "advertise" it and simply give because it's the right thing to do. They are able to do so because of Capitalism.

Aside from its theatre of the absurd, Monte Python-esque humorous value, seems like this is a good metaphor for the capitalist views of dealing with pollution and climate change.


.... Unlike the pristine environmental conditions like we see in Chernobyl.


Yes, this is teh model that all societies should strive to emulate

Herein lies the difference between those that voluntarily choose to contribute versus the do-gooder mentality that seeks to have gvt mandate 'giving' through the tax system.


As per the post by cliffy that insinuates those that 'have' obviously do not contribute enough because, well, they still 'have' more than he, ass such, they haven't done their part relative to the standard that he's unilaterally set.


France tried this tactic not so long ago in legislating a 75% marginal tax rate on all income over 1 million Euros... The result, those that were making that kind of money left the jurisdiction (or at least incorporated outside France) and with that, all of the tax dollars they paid left as well.


Sh*tty for France because their total tax revenue base shrunk as a result in addition to the job losses that followed with the relocation of the corp entity.

How many children's hospitals has evil Jimmy Pattison built so far? How many tonnes of food does he give away to Food Banks under the Save On Foods banner?

How about Bill and Melinda Gates giving away billions to fight HIV and immunize children around the Globe?

The Koch guy that recently died was also a philanthropist but people have cheered his death. He was humble and kept it quiet.

Matthew 6:2
So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

As bat shit crazy as you are, that was the first thing that came to mind but there aren't any gold pits in that photo.
The few trees that were left for the next harvest is also a clue it is not that border, every tree would have been taken, for the wood.

Cliff, I don't think you know what a Corporation is.
If you think every small business is a corporation, you're the one talking through your hat.

There are three forms of business ownership: sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation.

The key difference is limited liability. In sole proprietorships and partnerships, all of the owners are liable to the extent of all of their assets. In a corporation, owners (stockholders) are only liable to the extent of their investments in the corporation.
