All Pool Players are Democrats ?

[Cdryden]

No, this is not an NPR thread.

So, in my opinion all or at least most pool players are Democrats.
Why???

I say this because there is no way the are Republicans. Most Republicans do not believe in handouts, welfare or things like that. But pool players in tournaments and gambling environments all ways want hand-outs. Whether it is form room owners or sponsors they are always begging for more money added to tournaments, discounts on table time and spots during games. A republican would never want this so therefore pool players are Dems.

Just my observation.

Anytime you lump people into one blanket observation your going to get allot of pissed off folks.

How is this NPR as it is definably pool related.

I am tired of hearing:

"I need a spot"
"I play here all the time shouldn't I get a discount"
"I paid 50cents for my 1st cup of coffee why do I have to pay for a second cup?"
"I am not playing in this open tournament unless it is handicapped cause I am a weaker player than Joe Blow"
"I am not playing in the tournament cause they are only adding a thousand and they should add more money"

Etc, etc, etc.

You're trying to extract political philosophy from financial interactions, not from pool. If you said Democrats were more apt to go for three rail banks and Republicans were more likely to kick safe, or vice versa, or some kind of comment on the pocket size preferred by different politicians, that would be vaguely pool related.

What you've got here is a pretend political rant that's actually about entitlement mentality, and oh yeah you're an idiot. NPR.

Also, PERSONS work and pay, THINGS don't.

Add in all the employees taxes paid, too, for a more honest take on it.

Maybe both sides fudge the numbers in govt and in pool?

Actually, the legal definition of a "US person" includes companies incorporated within the US. So, yeah, things pay taxes.

But "legal" isn't reality.

Maybe false definitions are part of the problem here?
