Many of us learned in Kindergarten that you cannot buy friends. Most of the rest of us — the slow learners in the back of the room — got that lesson down pat by Fifth Grade.
Even if the lesson itself didn’t take (bought friends require a constant salary) the penalties for snitching the money from Mom’s wallet or little brother’s piggy bank made sure we didn’t repeat that particular error.
And that we didn’t sit down for a while.
I wish there were fewer Democrats.
See they haven’t learned you cannot buy friends.
And they insist they can do it with the money they steal from MY wallet and my kids’ piggy bank.
What?
It’s not stealing if it comes from the Common Weal?
Oh.
OK.
Never mind.
Au contraire. You can indeed buy happiness.
— But, sometimes you have to go take shots for it.
