Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, Congressgirlie, woman, person...Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has issued the following decree ‘I Don’t Want To Hear The Term Free Stuff Ever Again.’

Sure thing,

Sweetie.

     A much wiser person than you once said, "Never spend your money before you have earned it."  Putting these simple words of Thomas Jefferson into today's context, something he and his fellow founders never anticipated for their future children of this great land...Mister Jefferson's words of wisdom for irresponsible offspring such as Miss Cortez, might be better understood by her generation, if read as follows:

"Never spend your other people's money 

before YOU have earned it."

 

 "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money."
Margaret Thatcher 

     

     Someday, down the road, perhaps only a few miles more, when people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are faced with the realities of this short lifespan we are loaned upon our arrival--she and her like minded Socialist friends will pull up her little girl panties and come to understand, you cannot operate a civilized human community by having more takers, than givers.

 

     A reality check seems in order for every generation--sometimes unmotivated slackers need a friendly kick in the ass to get them moving into a higher gear.  For others, nothing short of a tough-love slap across the face will awaken their hidden talents.

     And so, to unappreciative whiners like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and her fellow Peter Pan travelers, get off your ass, spare the grown ups your never ending pity party rants, and start living, the short free gift of life you have been given.
