Starting to lean left

Still have not figured out what my liberal definition of fair is though. Can someone help me?

Leftist fair is when everyone pays their fair share ... except for those who pay much more than their fair share in order to cover those who don't pay anything.
 
I'm a libertarian-leaning lefty.

The law of averages dictates that I make a higher salary than about 80% of the people on this board. With my wife's salary added in, about 85-90%.

I definitely pay a much higher tax rate than Mitt Romney, or most people for that matter... The key difference being that I don't whine about it all day.

I would also like to see spending go down, starting with the bloated defense budget.

But I am happy to pay taxes to pay for things like education, universal health care, and, yes, even some welfare programs.

But yet you and the missus aren't altruistic. BS, yes you are and I will never ask how you sleep at nite - I already know it is deep and well.

The treasury will welcome your donation, but don't expect a deduction for it.
 
ME, ME, ME is definetly the lefty call sign.

Sorry there TN but you just wouldn't fit in. LOL

List threads where leftists ate demanding things for themselves as individuals rather than things such as rights for oppressed groups.
Much as you'd like to not admit so, that's demanding things for yourself.

Altruism is a lie.

What would you call a parent that puts their life on the line to save their kids? If that's not altruism, your doing a 1984ish revision of the word.
 
I have decided I like the lefty ideology. I just turned in my 2 weeks notice at work. Decided it would be easier if I just sat on my ass and make just as much if not more in benifits. "Share the wealth" has started getting my juices going. Just because they are successfull does not mean they shouldnt pay more in taxes, right? Just because we are spending ourselves into oblivion does not mean we should stop spending right? Fuck spending cuts! Thats for the birds!

amusing, hack... let me know when you pay what i do in taxes.

:thup:

That's just the parent acting on their highest value....Noting more selfish than that.

Have you started your drug habit yet?

Obama recommends Cocaine and Pot...

Oh gosh.. This is coming along so fast! I will start that tonight! Next I will try to collect a Mexican citizenship then move back to the US! I wont even have to worry about being illegal! Cause now I believe illegals do not need to be punished!
 
Huh? Not so. There would not have been successful gay marriage initiatives if 100% hetero lefties such as myself didn't push for it.

But you don't push for it out of altruistic motives. You seek to destroy the traditional Judeo/Christian culture of America and the morals and values of the nation as a means of eradicating individual liberty and civil rights so that a central authoritarian system can replace the constitutional republic with a socialist dictatorship.

Your action is purely selfish, you support this only as a battle in a war you already waged against America and liberty.

Then there's nothing even remotely libertarian about you, let alone leaning that way.

Day-um! You almost make me scared of my little old self! I don't have those powers. By joining wiith like-minded people I can help move the country Forward so that America can progress.

That is the power of my lonely Floridian Democratic vote. It's a freedom thing - you wouldn't understand.

OIC! Only the politically correct have use of the word 'freedom'. All the while bitching about how bad political correctness is.

Brainwashed much? Just sayin'.
