Group 5 rebuttal

Many people think that you have to work hard to provide a living for yourself and your family, but this is not true. In America there are many reasons why you should not work hard.You have no need to worry about a house as there are homeless shelters, for example, Maryhall. Another thing that there is no need to worry about is food. We are living in a country with very fertile soil. On top of that, we have places like Dorothy Day that will provide us food. Why pay all this money to make home cooked meals when you can head to the local soup kitchen and not only eat for free but have the meal made for you. Next, we have the gov't. the gov't has taught me that we dont have to work harder. we only have to work smarter. For example, instead of using your tax stimulis money the gov't gave out to pay your bills off you should take all the money and head to the casino. By doing so you can increase your chances of not having to work hard, or at all, by possibly winning the jackpot. The last reason you do not need to work hard is you can just take out loans and borrow money. It is clearly known that borrowing improves the economy. So, why spend your life working hard when you can get food, money, and shelter for free?

  2. We talked to Brian about it and he told us if they did not have it posted to do it on what we thought they would say. So, that is what we did. we do not have time to sit and wait around for them to post it

  3. I thought you guys did a great job! You came up with a lot of true life examples of why we should not work hard! I think that the only thing you should have done was to write out the word government instead of writing gov't. Otherwise you came up with a lot of great examples for your rebuttal! nice job!

  4. This was an even better post than your first one. I could spend my time writing a thousand words about why everything in this one paragraph is complete and utter rubbish, but what's the fun in that. If all people lived like this though, the only people that wouldn't be in debt would be the Native Americans because they would own the casinos which makes their money, then with that money they would control the government because they are the only wealthy people in the country. And the government hands out the welfare checks, and all that money goes back into the casinos...

    Laughed all the way through this one, great job!

  6. I am glad that you meant this to be funny. The worst part is that I have met people who seriously think like this. Unfortunately thinking such as this is one of the reasons that we are in this financial mess. Everyone borrowed money from the banks and figured they'd pay it off later. Unfortunately the banks were dumb enough to go with this. They wanted to make that extra money and gave out loans they wouldn't have looked at 5 years ago.
