The Makers and the Takers

I still think it's a good plan, we just need to iron out a few glitches. Here's one that immediately comes to mind: As you pointed out, your guys would get all the poor people and my guys would get all the rich people. So how would you finance all your wonderful programs? Well you could borrow it like they do now and promise to pay it back when all your poor people become productive citizens but, once they have something to lose, they will likely switch to our side. You would never have to pay the money back if you could keep refinancing the debt like they do now, as long as somebody is willing to loan you more money. If nobody wants your bonds anymore, you could just default and start all over again, like they did in Argentina, and will probably end up doing in Italy and Greece. Our guys could bail you out, but then they would want to tell you what to do, and your guys would never go for that.

I already know what to do with all our military might once we've pacified the Middle East, or given up trying. We could seal up our borders good and tight, from sea to shinning sea. Nobody comes in unless we say so. You guy don't get to vote on that because you're not paying for it.

I don't see a problem with guns and abortions. You guys could have all the abortions you want, and our guys could have all the guns we want. Since none of your people would be armed, they wouldn't have to worry about our guys shooting them because no law abiding citizen would shoot an unarmed man except in self defense. Well, there might be the occasional accidental discharge with all that finger twirling going on, but your guys would soon learn to stay out of range of our guys, so all the collateral damage would be on our side. That would be our way of preventing overpopulation, since we couldn't have abortions or use birth control.

Meanwhile, back in the real world: I never was crazy about Cruz. He might be better than Trump, but not much. Actually, I'm not crazy about any of them, but Trump is the one I like the least. I think what I'll do is wait till after Super Tuesday, which is a week before the Michigan primary, see who is running number two behind Trump, and vote for him. If nobody has a clear majority by convention time, all bets are off anyway. The delegates are only pledged for the first ballot, they can vote for anybody they want after that. If present trends continue, Trump will have a plurality, but not a majority. One can only hope.

Meanwhile, back in Beaglesonia, here's what I saw out the window when I opened the curtains this morning:
