A Quote by Stephen Colbert

Clearly, America has no shortage of metaphorical opportunities for the poor. — © Stephen Colbert
Clearly, America has no shortage of metaphorical opportunities for the poor.
Shortage of time is not your problem. Shortage of money is not your problem. Shortage of Connection to the Energy that creates worlds is at the heart of all sensations of shortage that you are experiencing.
America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves... It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters.
Trump is a cultural candidate for president, not an economic one. He clearly loves America and wants America to stay America. America won't be America if it has open borders and mass Muslim immigration.
We economists don't know much, but we do know how to create a shortage. If you want to create a shortage of tomatoes, for example, just pass a law that retailers can't sell tomatoes for more than two cents per pound. Instantly you'll have a tomato shortage. It's the same with oil or gas.
The poor, no less than the rich, stay tuned in to the Dream Machine in bad times as well as good....By 1995, millions of the poor were left without housing, medical care; jobs, or educational opportunity; six million children-one of every four kids under 6 years of age in America-were officially poor. Mired in Third-World conditions of poverty while video-bombarded with First-World dreams, rarely has a population suffered a greater gap between socially cultivated appetites and socially available opportunities.
I just like, when you look at people who have long careers in film, they're able to make films that are far away from themselves, because they're metaphorical. It creates more opportunities, I think.
Among idealists and visionaries, there is no shortage of good intent, but there's often a shortage of discipline.
The only shortage we have today is the shortage we have between our own two ears.
There is no shortage of opportunity. There is only a shortage of those who will apply themselves to the basics that success requires.
Food shortage will be to the 1990's what oil shortage was to the 1970's.
America's leadership is essential. America's resources are vast. America's opportunities are unprecedented.
There is not a shortage of assets in northern Syria but a shortage of targets.
America is facing a looming shortage of doctors, nurses, and physicians' assistants.
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
A great opportunity is often hard to be explained clearly; things that can be explained clearly are often not the best opportunities.
In my experience, poor people are the world's greatest entrepreneurs. Every day, they must innovate in order to survive. They remain poor because they do not have the opportunities to turn their creativity into sustainable income.
