Are republicans opposed to the leftwing simply because they don't understand it?

[hortysir]

Republicans seem to only use labels such as "socialism", "communism", or "facism" in regards to the left. They make outrageous claims like Obama and democrats want everyone to abandon their jobs and live off welfare. They think liberals wants to end capitalism as we know it.

None of this is based in reality but they believe it anyway. They just believe what they want to believe. Do they even understand what liberalism stands for? I think if they did understand it, they would embrace it.

When will facts permeate their stupidity bubbles?

Quite the opposite, really

We oppose leftwing ideologies because we DO understand them

 

[Ame®icano]

I haven't seen this post before I replied. You explained it more efficiently.

There is thing called "discipline in constant dealings". Who doesn't know what is it, Google it.

Over years, liberals gained this reputation of shameless and compulsive liars. Every time they got caught in the lie and people abandon them, they pull back, regroup and change name, then come out again with the same tactics. American voter recognized them for what they are and is now in abandoning phase...

Interesting idea. Can you give a list of those names, and the years when they were changed? The specific lie that caused each change would also be helpful. I'm sure you have that information easily available, but I just can't find it.

Are you saying that classical liberal teachings of Locke or Hobbes about economic freedom and small government are exactly what today's liberals stand for? Read few history books that don't require democrat stamp of approval.

Don't try to change the subject. Your statement didn't mention Locke or Hobbs. I'm asking for clarification of your claim. It was your statement. If you don't know what you said, go back and reread it. What was the series of names used? When were the names changed? What specific lie do you claim to be the cause of each name change? I won't call you a liar who just makes up crazy stuff yet, but it's really beginning to look that way.

There was no "official" name change. Lefties are not doing that, they usually "evolve"... from Democrat Liberals to Democrat Populists to Democrat Progressives to Democrat Liberals (again) to Democrat Progressives (again)...

Again, read some books...

Not really the specific name change brought on by a specific lie that you claimed, is it now? What about the rest of it? You essentially described it as caught in lie/change name............caught in lie/change name......caught in lie/change name....... Come on now, surely you have some details don't you?

I gave you enough to think. To hard for you? Here is bit more... After Wilson, there were no progressives anywhere on the map for hundred or so years, except La Follette for few years that countered Coolidge. Why, because they did so much damage and they were too similar to commies in Europe that nobody wanted to be associated with that name anymore. Suddenly in recent years we have them again all over... What do you think where they were all that time, vanished or re-branded to something else? Still to hard for you?

Oh and had Obama been successful in raising the minimum wage, far less people would be eligible for food stamps. You didn't know that did you?

They would still be poor and the food stamp limit would have to be raised Ass hat

Why would they still be poor? If the minimum wage was increased to 10.10, the price increase on goods would be pennies on the dollar. Not only that, but the boost to consumer spending would keep prices down.

FACTS!
In 1979 6,912,000 or 13.4% of all hourly workers worked at minimum wage
In 2009 there were 3,572,000 people working at minimum wage of the total work force of 72,897,959 at hourly wage or 4.9%

WHERE would the consumer boost in spending come from??? 3,572,200 people? BIG INCREASE in spending to do what? Prices down???
How dumb are you? When the supply of a product increases does that also follow an increase in prices?
For you economically shrift LIP...
You said boost spending keeps prices down...right?

Prices go up when the supply goes down. Called law of supply and demand.
So in your lame scenario more consumer spending means less supply which means....DUH prices go up not DOWN!

Good god dude. I've already explained this to you. If you boosted the wages of everyone making under 10.10 per hour, that's 18 million People. The 4% making 7.25 are hardly the big picture.

IDIOT... YOU were describing MINIMUM WAGE workers... 3.5 million make Minimum.... NOT 18 million !

You dumb shit. There is such a thing as a state minimum wage. 18 million make less than 10.10 per hour. If the FEDERAL was raised to 10.10, 18 million people would get a raise. It's simple.

Um prices go down when demand is up. That allows businesses to sell stuff cheaper.

YOU are definitely NOT involved in any of the supply and demand activities...in other words YOU are so f...king DUMB!!!

If demand grows, supplies grow, does that mean the prices go down? ARE YOU crazy!
If demand grows and supplies stay the same does that mean the prices go down? YOU are really crazy!

Here let's make it simple.
You make 1,000 condoms. You make the condoms at 20 cents and sell all 1,000 for $1.00 each.
NOW the demand jumps to 2,000 and because the rubber manufacturer says hmm demand going up.. cost to make is now 25 cents.
DO YOU lower the price because DEMAND has gone up and costs go up? YOU as a LIP probably would but YOU won't be in business!

This really is simple to understand. If a business is doing well enough, they are able to lower their prices because of all the profit they are making.

Agree.

They would also still be at the bottom bracket. In addition they would be joined by another 10 or 20 million that used to be above bottom. Liberals are so good at dragging everyone else down...

 

[Gadawg73]

Wrong, just the opposite. Their impact on economics is minimal so why waste any valuable time on giving them a raise that is not equal to what the market sets for their skill level?
The left cries for raising the minimum wage as a priority issue same as the right claims gay marriage is a priority issue. Both of you are wrong. I have raising the minimum wage at 171st on my priority list and gay marriage at 189th. Come back when government has solved the top 170 with your bull shit of income inequality.

HAHAHAHA, how many hundreds of thousands of dollars have you saved working 70 hour weeks for 25 years invested in YOUR business? You FORGOT to add in when you increase production you need more workers and your variable costs increase. No doubt YOU have never owned a business.

A minimum wage people can live off
A moderately regulated market to protect consumers.
Affordable healthcare for the poor
Strengthen the middle class.

COMPETITION is what lowers prices. Low demand is also another reason, high stock shelf life is another. Give it up Billy, you know nothing about business. To STAY in business an owner has a fiduciary DUTY to the employees, the owners and shareholders to MAXIMIZE profits, NOT lower them.

Food stamps have doubled in 8 years with fewer restrictions and you claim Obama is a centrist. NO asset means test on ACA, folks with a million or 3 in the bank can qualify with low income, and Obama is a centrist. Roll me one out of your bag. Obama grows socialist programs.

Oh and had Obama been successful in raising the minimum wage, far less people would be eligible for food stamps. You didn't know that did you?

Pennies add up, economics 101

Um yeah they do. Something at McDonald's may go up 10 cents while a person making $1.50 more an hour can afford to buy a lot more on the menu at a time.

then he will get fatter and his health care may be more expensive....

The law is I HAVE to have health insurance. Called Obamacare, aka ACA. Ever heard of this President Obama? He said ACA would insure ALL the uninsured.
I have paid as much as $1100 a month buying health insurance when I had kids at home. Drove old cars for 15 years, worked 70 hour weeks.

So you are still FACTUALLY wrong!
Also I am sure you don't know this simple fact of business but when the wages are raised to $10.10 the employer will actually be paying
$10.82 per hour or over a year $1,512 MORE per employee not just in wages but SS/Medicare tax on the $10.10.
This is the PRIMARY reason Obama is pushing for $10.10 because he says MORE tax revenue!

YOU are referencing raising the Minimum wage page to 3.5 million people working at minimum wage. NOTHING else. When I pointed out the FACT there were less then 3.5 million working at Minimum wage YOU altered your point i.e. those making less then $10.10 to all that make above $7.25 and less then $10.10.
So you are still FACTUALLY wrong!
Also I am sure you don't know this simple fact of business but when the wages are raised to $10.10 the employer will actually be paying
$10.82 per hour or over a year $1,512 MORE per employee not just in wages but SS/Medicare tax on the $10.10.
This is the PRIMARY reason Obama is pushing for $10.10 because he says MORE tax revenue!
WHICH is such a stupid reason to lay off these low skilled entry level people and them some.

Lol I never denied that only 4% make 7.25 per hour. The point i was always making is that 4% is hardly the big picture if the federal was raised to 10.10. That's it.

We need to raise taxes. Revenue as a percentage of GDP is near the historic low.

Revenue in absolute terms is at an all time high. ANd the deficit is where it was before the recession hit. It's the spending, stupid.

Apparently you are too stupid to understand the concept of inflation.
