I make less than all of my old college buddies, but as a Teacher I get to turn off the alarm clock for just about 10 or so weeks in the middle of the summer. Wouldn't trade it for more money, I am frugal and invest anyways!
I guess many retired posters, posters on disability (which would be ironic since they collect from the government they hate - LOL), underemployed people and maybe some disaffected students. I can't imagine anyone would be paid to troll this site. No offense but it is not that influential. Cheers!!
Everyday, I see dozens of new threads started on how you guys hate Obama and Clinton and hundreds of posts agreeing with those OP's.
The question is... do you guys have full time jobs? How do you find the time to post these fake outrage threads and posts at all hours of the day and night?
A forum was put up for individuals to post and you think it's fake outrage becausethey disagree with you. Why are you here?

Based on the comments, most are right wing seniors on or about to be on Medicare and Social Security. This security gives them a sense of superiority which will only be cured when Paul Ryan hands them a voucher equivalent to a Walgreens coupon for 20% off a hip replacement on Tuesday evenings after 7 p.m.
When Republicans start in on entitlement reform (their dream), you are going to see humbled seniors with a whole different attitude while they are desperately shopping for a health insurance policy with low deductibles.
I've seen right wing posters that didn't pay their taxes, negotiated for a reduced amount, are getting $8-10K medical treatments (paid for them of course) every month or two and can't wait to get on Medicare.
Yours and my tax dollars are paying for them:
- Few seniors have actually paid for their Medicare benefits. According to an Urban Institute estimate, the typical retired couple paid $122,000 in lifetime Medicare taxes but can expect to receive benefits worth $387,000. Social Security is another story. There, the average retired couple paid $600,000 in lifetime taxes for $579,000 in benefits. Put together, it's $722,000 in taxes for $966,000 in benefits. (All figures are adjusted for inflation.)

Actually, I'm not outraged at all. I'm just curious how conservatives can find the time to post at all hours of the day? I have a full time job and some days I don't even have time to get on here.
Based on previous posts, I don't think so. Reading posters with any regularity, it becomes really clear. Take away the shield that is Medicare and Social Security, then watch what happens. If Republicans get their way with entitlement reform and Paul Ryan gets his way with privatizing Medicare, I will laugh and laugh and laugh.
But OP, that's why they have the time to post 24/7. They've got Fox in the background and a lot of time to share right wingery.
