Sad that you've been brainwashed like this at such a young age. Democrats care for you just as much as Republicans.
The government isn't looking out for us right now. The Democrats are just better at wrapping their garbage ideas up in a "warm fuzzy" bill that makes people THINK they give a damn, but in reality those bills will bankrupt us and not do as they promise.
Think for yourself and get off this "D" vs. "R" garbage.
"They" (the "poor") want the rich to be poor so "they" can say, "see how it feels to be poor!” But what sucks for those (poor) with that mind set is the "poor (formerly the rich)" will get rich again even if they become "poor" because it is in their blood to succeed and it is not likely they, the rich, will sit and complain about anyone else who is rich. That job is left for the lazy.
just remenber there are alot of poor people like my self who do not want the rich people to be poor.the more rich people we have the better this country will be.it is liberals who are pitting the poor against the rich.do not fall in this trap,please!! because only liberals want the rich to be poor
1) Becuase I want the freedom to succeed or fail on my own merits.
2) People are inherently dishonest and base, and to let people take control over me "For your own good" is usually the start of very bad things (Oppression, Genocide, War, etc)
3) Socialism has proven to be a very ineffecent and wasteful economic system, which does not lend itself to high social mobility (in fairness, neither does the crony capitalism we've been practicing either. Free Market my arse).
No thanks.. I dont want the govt being in control of my health care, thanks.. Right now, we pay for our employees' health coverage.. 100% through blue cross blue shield. Cant get much better than that.
Apparently you have not seen the profits of B/S and B/C! It seems like it is a good idea but they are making a killing denying claims and increasing premiums. I use to work there and I was disgusted by what they are doing. Insurance companies are (I believe) behind the brainwashing of american people who are against healthcare reform. It makes sense to me since they are the ones that would lose major money in the deal
LMAO! Yeah, we just tried that for 8 years and the economy is flying high, the middle class is doing great.... oh, wait. That was the '90s when Bill Clinton raised taxes on the rich. I guess facts and proof just don't work on you righties. Or maybe you're paid to post BS all over the Internet by rich fat cats who don't want to pay taxes.
When you lower taxes on the rich, the rich put it in the bank and get richer. I think that's quite apparent by now.
Wasn't that ........REAGANOMICS.....how did that work out?
Because I was born white and male. Democrats hate white males. They might tolerate me if I were gay, but I'm strait. Besides, liberal programs always have unintended consequences that far out weigh the benefits. Look at the sub prime mortgage crisis we are pulling ourselves out of now. It started out as a simple plan (CRA) to help blacks with poor credit purchase homes in inner city neighborhoods, but the end result is that it almost destroyed the economy and the currency with it. Democrats do a better job pulling off white females, but only until they get married. After that they realize that as the Democrats screw her white male husband, they are also screwing her entire family. Besides, anything the government can give they can also take away and screw that!
It worked out quite well. The most prosperous peacetime decade in 40 years!
The American economy performed better during the Reagan years than during the years before or after him. Real median family income grew by $4,000 during Reagan's term after experiencing no growth at all in the Carter years, not to mention the fact that interest rates, unemployment and inflation fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency.
Also, from 1981 through 1989 the U.S. economy produced 17 million new jobs, or roughly 2 million new jobs each year on average. By comparison, the Clinton administration averaged 1.3 million new jobs per year.
Under Reagan, productivity grew at a 1.5% annual rate- lower than in the '50s and '60s, but much higher than in the post-Reagan years. Under Clinton, productivity increased at an annual rate of 0.3% per year.
It provided quite a few jobs ...especially in drug enforcement, which by the way "Mr/Mrs Just say no" and at the same time opened up the cocaine flood gates. This increased incarcerations, law enforcement, prison construction, and everything else related it's maintenance i.e guards,extremely high phone rates/food and services. On the negative/positive side cities like Miami absolutely made a killing during that time b/c of the drug trade, through construction, expensive cars, boats ect..................Come to think about it you are right the eighties were booming!
I agree with you but now Obama is starting to suck up to Wall Street and saying maybe those big bonuses weren't such a bad thing. He sees they are going to be big contributors to his re-election. Politics as usual and when will it end?
One word......Haliburton! They packed up and moved to Dubia (sp)
The goal of the rich is to: 1. make more money 2. keep the the money that they already have
Nowhere in their program does it say "help the little people" so get that part out of your head.
If they make more by paying less taxes that does not mean that they will hire more people, it is just as easy for them invest overseas or simply hide the money somewhere else.
Here is an interesting fact: the poor stimulate the economy more than the rich. The poor and middle class (if they still exist) constantly spend money on necessities, and bills which are payments to big companies which is owned by who?....the rich. Many people are poor not b/c they don't have money but b/c they don't spend what they have wisely. Many of the middle class got into finanacial probelms trying to live beyond their means (see housing). The rich needs are already met, but their wants are a different matter. Wants can be curtailed needs cannot and the poor/middle class are on a neverending treadmill of needs.
