I have a 1942 Mosin that kicks like a mule. Those things keep chugging along. Many were manufactured in barns and basically hammered together.

A while back Century arms had some decent Romanian SKS rifles for $210.00 for 3 with free shipping. My good ole C&R license came in handy that day. Luckily they eat Wolf like candy.

I think the occupy movement would cease if they aquired wealth individually. Nothing more here than the have and the have nots at odds with each other.

There seems to be two schools of thought on wealth creation. One school believes wealth is created by working, saving and investing. The other believes that wealth is acquired by taking it away from someone else.

His point is that some groups think wealth can be created by the government, which actually only gets wealth by taking it from someone else. Wealth cannot, under ANY circumstances, be created solely through taking. It does not happen both ways.

All wealth is built on the backs of labor. You cannot create wealth, only amass it by taking it from those performing labor.

You miss one point.......you can built weathy thru your own hard work, be it your labor, or you long hours..

Let us not forget risk. And by risk I do not mean the risk of the government confiscating it but the risk of investment and return.
