How To Turn a Liberal Into a Capitalist - 101

Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:16 PM EDT
politics, liberal, capitalism

When out on the town one can easily create a capitalist out of a liberal by following this example.

 

1) strike up a political conversation with your bartender or server.

when you find a liberal, ask them to explain why they feel as they do.....

look attentive and offer supportive statements like the following:

"I never thought about it like that...

"that is very interesting....

this makes them smile and make bolder statements.

( at this point... they think they are converting you... )

 

ask about the redistribution of wealth.. followed by more of the following:

"I never thought about it like that...

"that is very interesting....

 

 

2) all the while, ask for many refills of your drink.... and run up a monster tab....

3) ask for the check.. and thank them for their political input, as it was refreshing :)

4) when they return with the bill notify them that because of your new political belief in the redistribution of wealth your going to give their tip to someone worse off than they are. like a homeless person.

5) do exactly as you promised.. find the nearest homeless person and give the tip to them

 

you have just created a capitalist who in the future will want to keep what they earned.

 

if your nads and convictions are strong as mine... give it a try

 

cheers

:)

Doesn't wash... the typical "liberal" is more concerned with justice and equality than they are with the mere "redistribution of wealth". So no, ripping off their business would only prove to show them you are a typical Republican selfish prick. Not to say that YOU are a typical republican selfish prick... I'm saying that's someone who willfully rips off a business, just to prove a point.

Only the tip went someplace else, not what was due on the tab, which has profit built into the price. No one was ripping anyone off or was being selfish; quite the opposite.

Let's face facts.

Conservatives think they can go around screwing the "other guy" without screwing themselves. Try going back to that same restaurant, and see how you like it when faced with the consequences of your actions.

Conservatives = short sighted & selfish

I am there at least three times a week... and it is a bar...

hell I will be there tomorrow... live band every night :)

been hanging there longer than any employee has worked there...

but a restaurant would be just as fun..

, and see how you like it when faced with the consequences of your actions.

no consequences yet...

and I dare any server to give me legal recourse to own that bar.

Please provide fact based links of the redistribution you are crying about.

Your entire seed is predicated upon a myth (lie) and you offer no proof. Taking a page out of the Faux News playbook or just emulating Glen Beck?

Hell, I'm willing to bet you don't even know what form of capitalism you support.

No, it is you who needs to explain, first, what IS this Obama redistribution you speak of. Taxes were much higher under Saint Ronnie, remember those halcyon days of economic prosperity?

Second, How is it that you think you can decimate programs like Medicare, Social Security, Food Stamps, Unemployment or the Affordable Care Act without in the end decimating the programs you yourself will take part in. Can you say Ayn Rand? Remember her?? The hypocrite who spent her life denouncing such programs, and in the end, found herself forced to partake in the very same programs she denounced in order to not become homeless. "Welfare queens" "leeches" and "do nothings" are always the other guy. Whenever it's you who use these programs, they become necessary.

I'm guessing the place is big enough to where you can get away with stiffing the bartender and still be able to get service. But most places pool tips and it's a one for all, all for one camaraderie among employees. You'll never realize you've been stinkpalmed until after the fact. Even if you drink bottled beer, there is ample opportunity for someone to slip a nasty finger along the rim of that bottle. And there's always an opportunity for the bartender to turn his back to you. Have fun!

It's not exactly theft of services. It is very comparable to expecting to be taken care of without having paid into the system. Gee, where have I heard that before, Ayn? Congratulations, you have become the very type of leech you spend your days deriding.

Well, captain,

What is obvious is that you have no idea either what a liberal or a capitalist is since you confuse a political ideology with an economic concept.

In other words - FAIL!

yanno??? good point.... that might explain why liberals do not last long there....

maybe the capitalist bartenders run em off to keep their income from hitting the street???

the smallest tip I ever leave - or give to the homeless is 50%

I easily tip about 600 per month or more.

would seem smart for them to run off the liberal ey?

Having been a bartender and a server, I can say with near certainty that you are full of @!$%#.

First rule of bartending - No politics; no religion; sports only if you are in a sports bar and know your audience.

Secondly - a 50% tip? Unless you're buying $2 beers - or you really don't understand what capitalism is - the majority leave a buck a drink.

If you do do this then you're simply an ass and deserve to be treated like one.

I do this....

and am the only person the bartenders let run a cash tab without asking to hold a credit card. and they give me cash out of the till and put it on my tab -quarters and such for pool table.

they know I tip well....

then you're simply an ass and deserve to be treated like one.

I am very well taken care of there..... big smiles when I walk in....

cover charge? waived by staff every single time. I still tip doorman also....

in short... your wrong....

SOoo...

You say they've run off all the liberal bartenders. And you run a cash tab which you pay for all at once at the end of the night.

So adding 2 + 2, your story is just a bunch of hot air. Or do you run a tab all night, except for when it's the one liberal bartender in which case you pay for your drinks on the spot, even though you're running a tab?

I smell some Texas B.S.

I always run a cash tab till I leave ...

except for when it's the one liberal bartender in which case you pay for your drinks on the spot,

why would you assume that?

burning a liberal over one a drink tip... no fun.....

I show them the fifty dollar bill I am about to give to the homeless.

and if they look out the window they can watch me give it to them.

So adding 2 + 2, your story is just a bunch of hot air.

the hot air your feelin? yours......

You say they've run off all the liberal bartenders.

nahhhhhh - that was done by the other "capitalist" bartenders... probably just seconds after they complained about me... LOL

ya see my friend in the real world... liberals are the minority... capitalism is not dead yet.

  • So there are no liberal bartenders at this place anymore.
  • You run a tab until the end of the night.
  • You only stiff the liberal bartenders.
  • The bar pools tips.
  • It's no fun to stiff a liberal for just one drink.

It's kind of fun to watch you b.s. your way around like a typical Texan. Oh, and nice editing my words without the elipsis, Chris Wallace.

by the way... 2 L's

as a typical liberal it seems your better at editing my words than I am of editing yours...

but it is kind of fun watching you try to justify yourself,,, are you as insecure as you seem?

certainly your not out to impress me are ya?

so it must be an internal thing....

try to work on that ey?

Awesome analogy COS.

The central core of of modern liberalism has always been "helping" people with everybody else's money except their own. Your skit validates that they'll never put their own money where their mouth is and expose them as the hypocrits that they are..

more like, "how to get banned from a bar. or, depending on the neighborhood, how to get your faced smashed, arrested or both. brilliant! sort of like that gop "governmental budgets are like household budgets" meme, utterly false and ending up with tragic consequences.

LOL... the capitalist bartenders think it is damn funny - they will never ban me even if they could - which they can not... ya see most business owners are capitalists and do not give liberals that kind of power over their business and I pay the tab in full, so why would the owner care?

arrested

no crime is committed changing liberals into capitalists using this method...

how to get your faced smashed,

that would be the day I wind up owning that bar.,.... LOL

I can only pray I am so lucky

So, you where a giant d%$k and pretended to listen to some poor a hole while you got drunk. Then you left without tipping. Wow, I'm sure they have seen the light with that one.

I happen to make a fair living, and I pay taxes because I like my roads, schools, sewers (so I don't have to smell your s#*t), Police, Fire, National parks and on and on. It doesn't bother me that I pay a lower tax rate than in any other industrialized nation in the world for it. Why does it bother you? I mean, the only people that seem to mind are greedy, old, conservative, racists in my tax bracket so I don't really get what your little movement is about. Do you not want to pay anything? I have heard that before. Wouldn't that be an experiment in poor economics. Seeing as how the only countries that don't tax have been in chaos at the time. Maybe the movement is about the loss of Jobs. No, because most iv'e seen are retired and what was that? Live on Social security and Recieve medicare. Something tax dollars pay for. So I guess they must be senile, yep that's it they are just near death and are seeing the light. I guess thats why they think they know what they are talking about. It all makes sense now. Hope they go peacfully so I don't have to care.

    Oh, so you where like Robin Hood then. But you really want to be the Sheriff of Knotingham. Ok I get it, but Robin Hood was the Hero and the Sheriff was a villian. So, If there is a right and wrong, I see which boat your in.

      no I am exactly like Obama and liberals in deciding to redistribute wealth from those who have to those who have not.

      or is it only cool when liberals redistribute conservatives wealth?

      Hi Captain. I was going to add something but you pretty much already covered anything I was going to say with the exception of how your opponents have pretty much brought every other political subject and insult to the discussion. They just don't get it! I have been laughing my ass off.

      Excellent article! I think I'll try that the next time I go to a bar. Maybe I could even get a liberal to pick up the check! Of course I won't hold my breath on that one.

          So apparently you have either turned a lot of Liberals into captialists or as you say "run off" many of the liberals. I would assume that anybody that was "run off" either liberal or conservative likely left because there is more to life then having to spend it being surrounded by arseholes.
