1. Lao Tzu, founder of Taoism

not Confucius and definitely not Jesus Christ.

[Pobeka]

2. Republican ideal: invest - in - education?

3. Jesus actually gave them a bunch of free fish.

“Magic” free fish. And loaves. Many, many loaves. Sounds more like socialism to me.

4. Teach a man how to fish and you won't see him during Bass season.

Women have used that philosophy to get men out from underfoot for ages.

[dobleremolque]

5. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and you create the opportunity to monetize the process by opening a private college of fishing, where you can get rich off government guaranteed student loans, AND charge exorbitant prices in the College Bait Shop for mandatory rods, reels, fishing line, sinkers, lures, flies required for classes and labs.

And then send your graduates into a job market where fishing income declines by 12% a year and global fish stocks are declining by 4.1% per year, and their degree in pescatology will become more and more useless, and they'll eventually wind up working at WalMart part-time hours in the sporting goods department for minimum wage.

6. Sorry, it wasn't Confucius . . .

That quote is from Lao Tzu.

7. Republican ideal: Steal everything not nailed down
