The Have's vs. The Have-Nots

I've tried to ignore the Occupy Wall Street protest hoping they'd fade away.  Just last month, these idots were part of the Occupy My Mother's Basement movement.

I saw this quote by Dave Ramsey and immediately posted it to my Facebook page.

"When someone takes my money and gives me no say in the matter, that’s called theft—whether they’re using a gun or the government."

The OWS movement is all about economic inequality.  They are basically saying, "The rich have too much money and the government needs to take some of it away and give it to me."  Redistribution of wealth. 

But what they don't get is if you take money away from the rich to make every one even, there is zero motivation to better yourself.

Without motivation, there will be no more Steve Jobs', Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg's.

There will be no more rich.

Everyone will begin to depend on the government.

And eventually there will be no more revenues.

And what then?

Revolt against the government and then, eventually, total collapse.

Yes, this is a very Glen Beck-esque, doomsday rant.  But it's the truth.  It's the same pattern followed by every socialists government in history.

And it's what's we're facing if we cave into the Wall Street Brats.
