I'll gladly wash cars for the same salary of the brain surgeon in town. But does he/she want to get the same salary as me, the car washer?
I reach the age of, say, 14, and I decide, yeah, I just want to wash cars for the rest of my life. Meanwhile, Joe Snuffy Smith says, I want to become
a brain surgeon, and do that which is required of me to be one. Study hard. And after about 16 years, become a brain surgeon. Meanwhile, me, Bubba
Joe, hasn't had to do much of anything other than wash cars. And we both get the same rewards! There's something wrong with this picture!
Yeah, I would be a really, really good car washer! lol Lots of experience.
Meanwhile, Festus says, I just want to be an artist. I want to paint pictures, I don't need to study for this. I just want to paint pictures. So
Festus paints pictures. I'm 12 years old and this is what I want to do. Just paint pictures. But, Dolly says, I want to be an artist. I want to
paint pictures. And Dolly studies very hard. Learning all sorts of arty stuff. She spends 20 years studying, learning and developing her skills. And
Festus does his thing. Dolly eventually gets to do her thing. Cool.
Come on! Some jerk off says he wants to be a quarterback on a football team. But he doesn't practice and he sucks at it. He's so bad at it he
doesn't even play in a game. John Elway comes along and wants the same thing, but he works for it. And becomes a fantastic quarterback! And John
Elway and some jerk off get the same reward? Huh?
Should there be some sort of test? You seem to be better at being a jerk off than a quarterback. Move along and get paid. Go sweep a sidewalk or
something. Meanwhile, ole John will work his butt off, and get the same thing as you.
Or there's a test. Some person is told, nope, you don't have what it takes to fit our mold. Move along. You want to be an artist? Nope. You didn't
pass the test. Go sweep the sidewalk!!
Jeeze. Come on! Communism sounds cool. But it won't work.
eople just don't go along for a bucket of oatmeal. It's generally human nature to want
something more. Yeah, some folks are happy with the bucket of oatmeal. And they do what with it? Eat it and ask for more. But some others want a bit
of strawberries in their oatmeal, and will do what it takes to get those strawberries. And they don't want someone who does nothing for the
strawberries to get those strawberries, without putting out effort for the berries! .
