Vote Cliches and other Idiocies

Capitalism is responsible for the greatest economies in the world.
Socialism is responsible for the worst.

The first act of every tyrannical ruler has been the revoking of the right to firearms.
Hitler. Stalin. Mao. Castro. Hussein. Every one.

The most wealthy 5% provide jobs for the other 95%
The middle-class and the poor do not create jobs.

The more money consumers have, the more money they spend.
Spending money fixes economies.

A person is smart.
People are dumb.
The government is made up of people.

Politicians lie.

The nations of the world do not want the best for you.
They want the best for them.

The greatest achievements in history were fueled by self-interest.
Architecture. Nuclear power. Plastic. Computers. Air conditioning. Plumbing.

You have/had a mommy.
Do not pay taxes for a second one, especially one who is incompetent.

Freedom is not a privilege.
Personal liberties are not yours to give away.
Other people are happy the way they are.

I saw the above posted somewhere and could not help laughing (thanx to the poster). Do people in today's day and age really spout this nonsense expecting reasonable and rational debate or am I missing the joke?

Sorry to have to break it to you this way but,..

Cliches often contain factual tidbits but like the big lie I would not take them to the bank expecting a return on an investment.
