Middle Class brainwashed into voting Republican

[Intense]

I swear, I think the right wingers who have jobs must ride a pogo stick to work.

Stop eating the paste and pay attention.

FOX news, Beck, Limbaugh and the like are nothing more than Propoganda machines. Their goal it to convince middle America to continue to pay more taxes in order to justify the tax breaks given to Billionaires. The GOP has been playing the game and their same old song for years. The mindless watching of FOX news 24/7 numbs a person's mind after a period. It is hard to tell how much longer the American voter will be fooled by the GOP misinformation machine.

rdean needs paste in order to copy Huffo to USMB. Also, it comes in handy to glue together rdean's thoughts.

The GOP would rather take the food out of a child's mouth, rather than remove an unfiar advantage for a rich man in the tax code. They have said as much. Don't you people understand that for every dollar that the rich are able to withhold from paying their fair share in taxes, you the middle class, have to make up that dollar.

Obviously you don't mind paying extra taxes so that the super rich can enjoy unfair tax breaks. That is very estute of you. You are being played for fools, and seem to be enjoying it.

Apple, Google, Microsoft seek gargantuan tax break

Congress debates jobs and Jobs

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Cisco, and a host of US megacorps are lobbying hard for a massive tax break – and they're gaining powerful friends in business, government, and labor in support of that effort.

"This is about creating jobs, expanding US businesses and strengthening American companies," representative Kevin Brady (Rep-TX) told The New York Times, lauding his bill that would lower the amount of tax US companies pay on profits made overseas then brought back to the US, from 35 per cent to 5.25 per cent.

When profits made overseas are brought back to the US, it's called repatriation. When a tax break such as the one outlined by Brady's Freedom to Invest Act is instituted, it's called a repatriation holiday.

As might be guessed, this repatriation holiday is wildly popular among US corporations. The Win America Campaign, a group founded to lobby for the tax break, lists 40 major companies and organizations among its supporters.

Win America's argument for the repatriation holiday is based on the four-letter word that is dominating American politics: jobs. "Providing American businesses with incentives to invest at home is a common sense solution that will immediately inject up to $1 trillion into our economy and provide businesses with the security and certainty they need to help get Americans back to work," they claim.

There's one problem with Win America's reasoning: a repatriation holiday was tried last decade, and it didn't create jobs.

Dear America, Why Are We Voting Against Our Own Self Interests?

I don't get it. Most people loath the super rich, and yet they sit around glued to FOX and vote to keep giving them tax breaks and favors. All the while, the buy the same old line of "they are the ones creating jobs" from the GOP. Guess what....THEY ARE SITTING ON THEIR TRILLIANS NOT CREATING JOBS.

At least we don't buy the socialist line of shit from the left. Rather support the rich than socialist assholes.

OMG!!! Google is down to 515.04 !!! Sell! Sell! Sell!..... Never mind.

Here's an analogy I came up with today:

You work hard, make some money buy a house with a nice big piece of property.

Soon, developers come in and build low income apartments all around you.

Pretty soon you have kids running around, people picnicking and having barbeques all over your property.

You build a fence around your property to keep people out.

But, you have so much, and the apartment renters have so little.

I mean, you can't possibly use it all, right?

So, should the renters be able to pass a law that requires you to remove the fence so they can use what you worked to acquire ?

They do it in san francisco all the time.... the "people" want it for open space.

You should have bought a lot more land...

Why does that not surprise me...it's a logical extension of the liberal philosophy...and you can't get much more liberal than San Fran in the United States.

My self interest is conserving and protecting my individual freedoms, so a candidate from the Tea Party would be my choice.

Perhaps the left should explain why they think individual liberty is selfish?

"Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law."
-The Rights of Man


Does that answer your question?

thx for contradicting your own point.

"Self Interest", hunh?
If it is MY self-interest why does it bother you so much how I vote?

Is it because the way I vote may impede on YOUR self interest?
Are you afraid I may elect someone that might take away your 'crazy check'?

Why do you say that "most people loath the super rich"? Really? Do you have a link for that?

Can you tell me why the slummiest of big cities continue to vote democrat, even though they're the ones that created the slums in the first place and do nothing but try to keep people in those slums?
You don't have to because I really don't care why you vote democrat.

I'm just curious as to why you're so concerned that I vote republican.

Long story short.... this property has one of the most magnificent panoramic views of the pacific ocean in the city. The owner has been prevented from building on his property because of "public outrage" of not having it as "open space" The public walk dogs and hike on his property....and were very upset that if he built...they would no longer be able to ....use the land.

The city used emanate domain and forced the sale of his property.
