Liberals are just disgusting~!

[Sunshine]

The St. Jude Dream House giveaway was yesterday. It seems a fairly well to do person won it. As of last night, people were responding to the announcement that he should donate the proceeds of the house all to St. Jude. Jesus H. Christ. Liberals even want to tell people what to do with their winnings in a charity raffle. The posts have been removed, but the talk on Paducah Topix has started up. It isn't up to the donating back part yet, but will be soon, they did the same shit last year.

I, too, bought a ticket both this year and last. That was a $100 not tax deductible to St. Jude's both years. They raised $500,000 last year and $700,000 this year. I had to retire early due to my health, and if I ever win it, I won't feel obligated to donate once cent of my winnings to anyone.

Liberals are just disgusting. What's theirs is theirs and what's ours is theirs! I would bet at least the cyber dollar hat none of the critics even purchased a ticket.


..

What is disgusting is the person who posted the OP.
and ten bucks it wasn't liberals. 20 she made the whole thing up.

Of course being a welfare queen yourself you would know nothing about the St. Jude Dream Home raffles that take place all over the country.

Now, give me the 20 bucks. Never mind. I would just have to give it to you first. I'll just keep it.

Successful people have a social responsibility to make the world a better place and not just take from it because they have the God given ability to do so, something many of us don't have. There is nothing wrong with suggesting the wealthy give back to those that are the source of their wealth. Despite the headlines dedicated to donations made by the super-rich, data shows that the most charitable people in the U.S. aren't those making six or even seven-figure salaries, it’s lower-income people.

Buying a non tax free charitable raffle ticket IS giving back. I'm not sure where you came up with your other data. Out of the air as usual, no doubt.

Those that have less give more of what they have. Households with incomes of of $50,000 to $99,000 give 6% of there income. Those with incomes over $200,000 give to 4.7%.

They still wouldn't get the house cuz they couldn't pay the taxes up front.

Not taking that bet.

Again, making my point for me.

Me and my family, "liberals" all, probably donate more to charity each year than you make.

You have this ridiculous idea of what the term "liberal" means, and keep expanding to take in everything you don't like. Rather than taking responsibility for yourself (or even demanding that others do), you instead attempt to lay blame for all of your problems on a political ideology, rather than the individuals responsible.

Ummm...she's saved money all her career(s) so she can take care of herself during her retirement.

Remind me -- how is she not taking responsibility for herself?

Conceded.

Are you also defending her ridiculous broad-brushing of "liberals"?

Oh wait... you're as bad as she is with that shit. Of course you do.

I really don't see too many conservatives as passionate about their envy and covetousness as liberals seem to be.

Could you maybe point out a statistically-significant number for me, please?

 

[daveman]

The sheer number of threads devoted to attacking George Soros seems to belay your claims...

Soooo...attacking Soros for spending millions on politics = bad.

But attacking the Koch Brothers for spending millions on politics = good.

That about cover it?

It's funny watching you try to put words in my mouth.

You could maybe provide links proving me wrong.

 

[daveman]

I'm not seeing multitude links to all the disgusting soros attacks.

Must be an oversight.

You've been a poster for as long as I have. You've seen them.

Pretending they don't exist isn't going to work.

Oh, you mean like pretending the attacks on the Koch brothers don't exist.

 

[daveman]

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

Wait for it...

I could try to use simpler words, if that'll help.

"Personal Responsibility" is a two-way street. You can't claim to be all about "personal responsibility", then attempt to make the actions of an individual the "responsibility" of an entire political ideology.

Successful people have a social responsibility to make the world a better place and not just take from it because they have the God given ability to do so, something many of us don't have. There is nothing wrong with suggesting the wealthy give back to those that are the source of their wealth. Despite the headlines dedicated to donations made by the super-rich, data shows that the most charitable people in the U.S. aren't those making six or even seven-figure salaries, it’s lower-income people.

How would giving this home, with its attendant tax burdens, to a poor person be helping the poor person?

It wouldn't. Gambling is gambling whether it is in Vegas or through St. Jude. Winnings are income and taxable. Real property also has county taxes to contend with, and the person living on $500/month and food stamps could not come of with the $4,000/year for the property tax.

When it comes to gambling I have enjoyed my share. It was never high stakes, but just one trip each to the casino in Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and Metropolis. $40 limit. When that is gone go home. All three times, I managed to make my $40 for the evening last several hours. It was fun, but not a way to better ones self. When I lived in TN my across the street neighbors lost their house because they were taking out home improvement loans on it and gambling the money away in Tunica. It sat empty for 2 years while the banks fought over it. People are just stupid.

Poor people don't know how to handle money even when they get it. I know one in TN who got 2 million in a lawsuit. Settlement money in TN is not considered marital property, but he went out and killed his wife so she wouldn't get any of it. No doubt his lawyer got the bulk of it and the guy rots in jail. If they had the reasoning skills to be rich they would be rich or at least not 'needy.'

My mother could have been a Wall Street tycoon. I've never seen anyone manage money the way she did. You wouldn't have guessed she had a dime, and you would have been as flabbergasted as I was to learn how much she managed to put back. Poor people don't have to spend every dime they get their hands on. Designer sneakers, tats, fake nails, braids, and grillwork are not necessities. Neither is spending $100 of your utility budget for a ticket on a house that you couldn't claim even if you won. That is just stupidity. So is expecting the person who won it who could claim it to give it away.

Liberals are just disgusting.

People who engage in gross generalizations are disgusting.

Most of them are, at least.

Prove what wrong? That you've created value judgements in your head and assigned them to me?

This might be the funniest post I've seen in a while.

You make a ridiculous claim based on your own imagination and anecdotes, then ask me for hard data to "prove it wrong"?

Are you confusing conversations in your head with reality? Where have I "pretended" that the Kochs aren't attacked?

Of course the Kochs are attacked. Constantly, all the time. I get 10 emails a day from Liberal organizations attacking the Kochs.

But that doesn't change the fact that Conservatives attack Soros for how he spends his money - which is all I said.

You sure think you know all about me.

Oooh..how dishonest of you. That's not what you said. You said there were a plethora of soros attack threads at USMB.

Changing history only works if you're a teacher.

 

[koshergrl]

I don't think any lefty on this site actually knows what tolerance means.

Pssst, a hint...it doesn't mean giving any criminal anything they ask for.

And I stand by that statement.

Notice I said nothing about the Kochs.

 

[koshergrl]

Meh. Dishonest as the day is long.

 

[koshergrl]

I doubt the doctor is in, either.

I think habitual lying is a good character trait for mods. And it's a good thing!
