They go nuts for team sports. They sign their kids up for Little League so they'll learn to be team players. Every company I've ever worked for has carried on about people needing to be team players. How many times have you heard someone use the phrase "taking one for the team"? But if you dare to suggest that the whole country act as one big team, they scream bloody murder. "Socialism!", they holler, as if it's a dirty word. But what is socialism, really, other than the ultimate form of teamwork?<BR/><BR/>This is one of the many reasons I hate people. Selfish bastards.<BR/><BR/>And on another note....why does no one ever point out that even if they raise the taxes on the richest Americans, they'll still be paying less taxes than the rest of us? All those loopholes they use...I know I've seen countless articles about how little taxes rich people actually pay. But no one ever brings that up in the debates or elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Bah. I'm going back in my cave now.MexicanYentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914848417020293077noreply@blogger.com
