That's not "class welfare" - that Reaganism.

The ones bellyaching the most about class warfare are the ones who are most enthusiastically engaging in it.
I don't mind though. I mean, calling half of the country a bunch of worthless mooches has worked out so well for the Republicans, hasn't it?

Projection. It's not just something you do in a movie theater.

Republicans are for creating jobs period..

Get out of here... I mean... really... oh man... ...

without many jobs being created there is no tax base and no safety net for the poor.

Dude, most of my life, the top rate has been 50%!!! Now its 30%. Historically it has been as high as 90% Do you have any idea of what a 90% top rate and no cut-off could do for America's fortunes? But my point is this... with lower taxes than there have ever been. Ever. Employment is sluggish at best. The Fortune 500 continue to hoard cash, outsource and squeeze profits from productivity increases. What exactly are they waiting for??
A payroll tax amnesty?? Maybe the offshore account repatriation amnest... ooh that's a good one, that's the one where they get to bring all the money they have stashed in the Cayman's and elsewhere into the U.S. and the IRS looks the other way. And nothing else changes. Except that the rich will have gotten a whole lot richer. Again.

Put your money where your mouth is. Tell me WHEN and what Obama said that was positive about success. Your president has such a hard o* for people that are rich even though he is also rich. Obama knows money is power and he wants to take away anything that might be good for Americans.

You said it and I agree. Your president listened to people whine about not getting paid more money to do nothing that he has hatred for the doers.

LOL, it would be a good idea. They can be a seeing eye dog for the blind, house cleaning, cut grass, go grocery shopping for the elderly, how about someone who stays with an elderly person assisting them. There is so much that they can help with but they are just too lazy and expect paid for their laziness.

Anyone who is offended... don't' even think I am the only person who looks down on you. You have no clue how many people feel contempt and disrespect for leeches.

Someone you can blame everything that goes wrong, that you can praise when everything goes right, to calm fearful hearts, and to ignite the patriotic mind of the American. If a president really wanted change and fought for the average American citizen, he would be "taken out" just like President Kennedy and President Lincoln. IMHO
Obama does not care about the middle class folks nor does he care about the amount of debt. Anyone who thinks so lives in la la land.

1/3rd of them rate her as an indoctrinator more than a teacher. Many of them comment that to challenge her would affect their grade, so they don't. The concept of teaching is to allow students to challenge ideas. They rank her high for being "Hot" though, which is very important.



The Progressive Method of teaching.
