Was this study completed at the White House over the last 8 years?

I believe the investment firm Motley Fool used a monkey to choose stocks to see how it would compare against the average stockbroker. The monkey won. Prez Bush is not as good as the monkey.

Xoynx,
Socilism was is NOT why the USA was founded.
America is a Rebublic.
There''''s plenty of Socialist Countries, one can move to any apply for citizenship AND 78 percent tax rate!

Wasn''t the US founded to escape religious persecution and to throw tea into a harbor because they thought Gaia needed a caffeine buzz?

deacon20081,
GREAT Point!
We should pay very little in taxes NOT Hundrerds per paycheck.
We''ll take care of our own affairs.
Health Care
Travel
Food we consume.
Drugs.
Just to get rid of a few.....to start.

I have a Parrot that likes to give and recieve.
I give him food, He gives me a cage to clean.
Like Republicans, we give them Tax Dollars and they give us crapola to clean up.

"Study: Monkeys Like Giving And Receiving". Proving that even monkeys have a great sense of compassion than Republicans.

This study reinforces my belief that socialism can work only when confined to very small communities. We just don''''t care about those whom we don''''t know.

Like a politician once said. We''re not a society. Only individual men, women, and families. I hope that politician doesn''t get any taxpayer money.

8 adult females seems like an awfully small study group. I''d like to see the results with male-male, female-male, and male-female pairings. Also, various ages could be used to see when this behaviour begins. In human children, the level of selfishness tends to decrease as they age.

Too bad none of the monkeys are congressmen, senators or oil company execs. They only know to receive.
