Tax cuts to the uber-wealthy spurring this economy is like Stone Soup

[zbdent]

and the "uber-wealthy" provide the stone.

Guess who all have to supply the water and the rest of the seasoning for the soup?

(beef, chicken, vegetables, salt, pepper, etc . . .)

1. Not quite.

Stone Soup is pro-socialism where everybody had to contribute. Everybody.

Our corporate leaders want us all wilfully starving to death. And we were raised to be dog-eat-dog. Not individuals. Dog-eat-dog.

Reap what is sewn.

3. "everybody" does contribute

I mean, you can't have stone soup without the stone, right?

And they get to take the stone home with them afterward, for the next time they will grace us with "stone soup" . . .

And, guess who gets to take the "leftovers" home . . . and who gets to dole out the portions? The Chef, who was cooking the "stone soup" . . .

2. this has nothing to do with your observation, but i just had to share.

The story was read to my son in kindergarten and from that time on up until recently, he insisted that the soup be cooked with a stone in it. If I didn't put the stone in, he did. In fact I had sent some home with my parents recently from the last pot I made. Shortly after, I get a call from grandpa, "Jaysus H Kriste, who put the rock in the soup? I almost broke my tooth on the damn thing." All I could do was laugh, my son had slipped the stone in without telling me.

Sorry.
