Let me attempt it explain my opinion on how liberals distort the idea of money. Has anyone ever wondered why we use the specific term “makings money” to describe our income? I have no idea the actually history of the term, but I think it is much more descriptive that one first thinks.
Liberals would have us think there is a finite amount of money. In other words if someone gets rich it must be “on the backs of the little guy”. They imply that someone else must get poorer for a rich guy to get rich. This is where the term “make money” comes into play in correcting this false liberalized train of though.
All people who earn a wage, create a product, or provide a service actually make new money. Lets imagine for a moment a world without money. We have a breadmaker and a candle maker. The bread maker needs light to make bread at night and the candle maker needs food. They each work hard to develop a product then they trade and are both satisfied. In reality it is not possible for all the different producers and service providers to find each other at the right time in order to trade so money is used as a universal representation of those goods and services. Money isn’t just a piece of paper that rich people have. Money is a loaf of bread. Money is a candle. People with more money just figured out ways to make more bread and more candles. They made new money they didn’t take it from other people.
This may be futile, but let me attempt an example. Our bread maker gathers flour, water, yeast, and heat that lets say costs $.60. He then uses his skills to turn those items into bread that he can sell for $1.00. There is now $.40 more money in the world. Since money is bread and bread is money, the baker has made new money. He didn’t take it from any “little guy” he made something new. In doing so he also made a product for the little guy and as the bakery grows new employees will be able to use their skills to make even more new money. It is a win win for everyone.
This is why it is absurd for liberals to bitch about excessive corporate profits and bash big business. If corporations make a lot of money it is because they have created a lot of goods or services (remember money is bread). Rather than being condemned, they should be applauded for making new money and adding it to the economy.
When you see wealth don’t be resentful and jealous. Realize that they made new money by providing a good or service someone wanted and likely allowed others to make money along the way. Even better, figure out how they made that new money and use the knowledge to make your own new money. Next time you hear your liberal friend rant about money, remind them why we say, “make money” not “take money”.

History Lesson
Sorry another mass e-mail was just too good to resist.
- Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals
2. Conservatives
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans
were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.
