How Does One Teach A 7 Year Old What Marxist Ideology Is As Expressed By Barack Obama To Joe The Plumber?
I have a Plan, My 7 year old came home from school today and proclaimed that she is voting for Obama, and so is everyone else in her school as is her teacher, except of course one girl who is so stupid because she wants to vote for John McCain.it seems Florida public schools are indoctrinating our youth to be good Democrats. ( I swear this is a true story).
So, Ive decided to allow my daughter to “work” this weekend and earn some money. We are visiting a friends ranch, and I have a schedule of feeding animals, raking leaves, picking fruit, sweeping up the barn etc. she will be paid just enough to get a certain toy she wants.
But I am going to “Tax” her and “Spread the wealth to her other friend who will be there and her Father has agreed not to require her to do much work. But only to have fun, ride horses, swim, play etc. and maybe help set the table and clear it.but basically she is not to do any of the work that I will have my kid do.
The tax (30%)will be Redistributed to her friend at Target, as we go to the toy department to get that toy she wants, she will have to settle for a much lesser toy, and her friend is going to get enough to buy the toy she wants from the tax and a freebie from her Father.
The “Fairness” of those who would redistribute the hard earned income of others will become apparent I think..

Hey, project based lessons, great.
Next weekend you can pay her for work, take 70% of it, give 60% of that to her friends dad, and use the other 40% to buy a slingshot, and then shoot the store clerk with the slingshot just before she buys her toy. That would make you a maverick.
Just a note – Republicans do not appear to be the party of financial responsibility any longer.
Then, next weekend…do the exact same thing. Except bring one of her friends that has a disability and can’t do that work. Then if she wants to share some of her money with her friend…tell her no…tell her if she wants money she should get off her lazy @ss.
Quit spreading the lie that the middle classed people are lazy, it is getting old coming from you conservatives. You should know better, seeing that most of you are middle classed as well.
You’re a brilliant parent.
The best lessons come out of experience, I think you hit it on the nail. I wish my parents would’ve done something like. Too bad the one I was raised with is an open Socialist!
I think you are silly. Are you going to teach your daughter to be a tax evader so the rest of us have to pay more. Are you saying McCain is going to get rid of taxes?
I THINK YOU BOTH NEED TO STUDY A LITTLE MORE .
I KNOW REPUBLICANS PREFER GIVING WELFARE TO THE WEALTHY WALL STREET BANKERS.
TOO BAD
LOL Joe (not his real name) was a plant. Sorry, but big business needs to pay their fair share of taxes. Not take it over seas.
Good lesson
I think you should go tell Fox News about it.
They love covering pointless crap like this.
Just exactly the way that you are doing it. it will hit home. Incidentally, it is not just in Florida schools. My friend has a child in Fairfax County and the same thing is going on there. The teachers are promoting the new Democratic Party, which is The Democratic Socialists. They are teaching the children to all want Obama. Any child who says they are for McCain is ostracized. In this area, they are taught to go home and change their parent’s minds. This makes me sick.
Yes, the “Fairness” of those who would redistribute the hard earned income of others will only become apparent if they experience it first hang. Good for you! Thank God we have parents that are still parenting.
Well, Your well on your way to winning the parent of the year Award, My 7 year old wants Santa to run….I tell him thats a good Idea….Keep it up and your kid will wind up on Oprah…..Life is short enjoy the young innocent age while you can..Don’t expose the greedy polticics to early esoecially at such a young age. They will have their day in poltics soon enough…These Two guys are not worth the loss of innocence of such a young child…
You wouldn’t recognize Marxism if you sat on it. Remember, Marx once said, “Je ne suis pas Marxiste.”
A seven year-old can probably comprehend progressive taxation; get somebody to explain it to both of you.
Part of our current mess is the result of redistribution of wealth upward on a massive scale, as exemplified by the luudicrous ‘bail out.’ Private profits, socialized losses is what we practice now. Most corporation pay less tax than you do, sucker. Wise up.
Undecided “Joe” turns out to be a) not a plumber b) a Republican c) named “Sam” not “Joe”. And you are implying, from what you’re teaching your daughter, that there are no taxes under Republicans, which is untrue.
If you really wanted to teach her to be a good Republican, you’d get her to invite all of her friends over, and give them each a dollar, then make them give the dollars to the richest person and, when they start crying, tell them to stop whining about “class warfare”.
Well, being the political person that I am, I have to say that this is not an accurate assessment of the application of Marxism, not that a seven year old is really prepared to tackle economic theory, let alone biased examples; any assessment of the wealth-relationship as applied to the population at large must take into account what qualifies as truly “earning” one’s amassed wealth. When one takes into account what one personally earns versus what one acquires as “income”, it is quite clear that there is great economic disparity, and, particularly in America, a very great minority of the population has a wealth far beyond what might be termed their having “earned” it.
Case in point: What exactly has Paris Hilton done to earn her wealth….?
