I had a conversation with my GOP cousin on facebook after Paul Ryan's Speech [View all]

her: am loving me some Paul Ryan, finally we have someone with adequate experience for Vice President!!! Dear Lord, I pray everyday for our President! I pray he will not be our president for four more years!!! Just in case anyone doesn't understand, I built my Own business, not a soul worked my 14 to 16 hour days, but, me, myself, and I!!! I will surely be voting for the Romney/ Ryan ticket!!!! Let's do this!!!!!

Me:I thank God for Aunt dot, and Alton, your teachers, govt that laid the highways, the customers that frequent your business. those people that made the goods that went into making your business. Thank God for all those people so that you could do well. I thank God than you are doing so well because of all those who have helped you.

her:That's right Kenny, they used my Momma & Daddy's tax dollars to build those road's and I am truly Thankful for my Clients!! Because their tax dollars are spent on those roads as well!!! When you own a small business, you can tell me that you didn't build that, and I'll say yay for the government for you!!! Are you really that dumb? That is so asinine!!!!!

me:all I was saying was that I thank God for your parents who gave you the ethics and moral character, your teachers who gave you the knowledge to run a business, the govt who built the infrastructure to support your business, the fire and
police dept who keep you safe. I thank God that you have all that, which enables you to have your business and be successful. I think that is great that you didnt have to do all that by yourself.

her:By the way, I have worked my fingers to the bone for what I have, I didn't get a handout from you, the government or anyone else for a matter of fact!!! I scrubbed toilets worked in concession stands to pay for my education!!! No one but, I BUILT THAT!!! So kiss my behind!!!!

me:BTW I spent the last 25 years running business's. So I know what it takes. and I know no one does it by themselves. Its impossible. Love ya!!

Tell me your thoughts
