5 Things the Rags to Riches Industrialist Wants You to Hand Out this Year for Halloween
Kids have it too easy these days. With access to free public schools and free wifi they’ve all gone soft and Halloween is part of the problem. I never got a handout just by dressing up in a silly costume and neither should they. What kids need to understand is that we live in a capitalistic society that was built upon hard work and, occasionally, nepotism but mostly hard work. I usually lock the gates to my mansion this time of year but on the 31st of October I’ll be throwing them wide open. There will be no treats however. Instead I’ll be giving the kiddos something much more valuable and I encourage you to do the same for the sake of our great nation.
- A Nickel
When my grandfather came to this country he only had a nickel to his name. It was a name that was thoughtfully changed to something “less ethnic” by the good folks at Ellis Island but that’s another story. Like any self-respecting young immigrant, my grandfather threw his only nickel into the water so that he could bore everyone later on with the story about how he started life in the US of A with nothing to his name. This year give those little tykes a nickel so that they can have a story to bore their grandchildren with for years to come but make sure that they throw it back into one of the fountains in your driveway to keep them legit.
