Teach your children well

As we all know, public schools are taking our children with their young skulls full of mush and indoctrinating them to believe Barack Obama is the new Messiah and liberal government is fair and just.

We must counter this.

Assume Obama wins.  He will, as he has openly stated, raise taxes on "the rich."  Your children, not being "the rich" nor paying taxes, can't really understand how this works.  So show them.

Break out the Monopoly game.  Make bad choices during play, so that it doesn't take long for you to have little or no Monopoly money, while the kids amass fortunes.  Be sure to point out to the children how the choices you made were bad, and how you are broke because of your own foolishness.  Then, announce the new rule that President Obama just signed a new "spread the wealth around" law and just take your kids' money from them.  They will cry and say it isn't fair.  Then, when they don't like the result, tell them that if they don't give up their money, then "the law" (better known as "Dad") will ground them, just as the I.R.S. will threaten to lock up real life tax cheats.

Once the lesson has sunk in, then tell them you have good news for them: a new Republican President has just beaten Obama, and is repealing the Obama tax plan, and implementing new tax cuts.  Let them keep their money... and because of the economic stimulation created by lower taxes, let them double all their income for the rest of the game.

When the game is over, everyone has ice cream!

Next week, we'll go over redistribution of baseball cards when one child opens a pack to find All Stars, but another child opens a pack to find a bunch of losers...

Did it ever occur to you that not everyone who is poor is a loser who made bad decisions? That some people face more challenging obstacles and that it shows the very best of humanity to give them support? That many people in lower paying jobs work harder and have more integrity than CEOs of fortune 500 companies? That there should be no shame attached to being a janitor, a farmworker, or a waitress - and that if we truly respected the role these people have in our society they wouldn't receive such low pay to begin with?

Using your example in the Monopoly game, I have raised my own children in such a way that they would VOLUNTEER to share wealth with me. In fact, we find it hard to ever finish a game because whenever someone is close to bankruptcy, inevitable someone else will help them out - no-strings attached. I take pride in that fact that my children are kind, compassionate, generous and non-judgmental - just as Christ would have them to be - rather than selfish, greedy and only looking out for themselves.

What a load of crap.

How much money do you have? Do you give everything you don't need to the poor?

Do your kids donate the extra food they don't need out of their lunch boxes to the local soup kitchens?

You are nothing but a troll looking to start an argument, and shame on you for invoking Christ, as you are obviously a God-hating communist.
