Republican Traitors Declare War on the American People

[teapartysamurai]

These Randians need to be stopped in November!!!

Yeah, how you libs plan to do that?

Like this??????

they dont belong to the democratic party do they.

Who were they supporting?????????? IT SURE AS HELL WASN'T MCCAIN!!!!!!

It wasn't McCain's DOJ that let these thugs off scott free, IT WAS OBAMA'S!

Keep trying!

 

[teapartysamurai]

That's your thoughtful retort?

That is about all that poster deserves, and you're getting there.

dittos to that

Which says a LOT more about you and Rinata than about us!

 

[teapartysamurai]

so blatantly lying doesnt botther you as long as you presume it benefits you politically. it hits a nerve thus boosts your ego for some perverse reason

Blatantly lying??? That means something very different to you. Blatant lying to you is something that is true but you don't like it. Nice try though.

Are you really dumb enough to believe we're going to let you get away with nonsense you spew?
One of your most infamous deeds is to make up shit as you go along.

It's worse than that. She's dumb enough to believe she's really helping her side, instead of revealing how intellecually vacuous and paranoid they are.

The way anyone with a half a brain sees it as both parties are in it for control. For the money. There is a concerted effort to keep the average worker down. If the masses in this nation ever wake up what is happening with OWS will seem like childs play and I for one hope to witness it. After 75 years of living here I can say this is the first time this country truly disgusts me.

And you think OWS is the answer?????????

 

[teapartysamurai]

Their has not been a republican interested in government of the people by the people, for the people since Eisenhower.

The attack dog GOP has their nose so far up corporate ass they cannot see when the sun shines.

Yeah and the only way to end that is have Obama take over all corporations, right??????

 

[teapartysamurai]

Why the GOP is so into protecting billionaires one can only guess. Why does a billionaire hate those who make $40,000 a year? Answer? To get the wages down to $30,000. What a sick, ill, anti christian bunch of people. How dare some worker make $40,000. They arent worth that. america has the most ill conceived business owners in the world.

Here we have another small person, fuming that there are people who exist that have more money than him, and exhibiting his frustration and greed that he can't get his hands on it.

Thus, he wants to the government to get it. It won't put another single penny in his pocket, but he has the "satisfaction" that those eeeeeeeeeevil people who dare to have more money than him, will "get what's coming to them."

That's what behind OWS and class envy. Greed Greed Greed, and the entitlement mentality which oozes out in an over the top jet stream of arrogance.

"The average worker in the US is wealthy compared to about 95-98% of the other nations on earth. We need to be grateful we have it so good; and many other nations laugh at our spirited campaigns for national office. Neither candidate proposes a fundamental change in our underlying economic system. "

You are correct. The ultra wealthy are laughing all the way to the bank. ANY business owner who believes in cheaper labor to make his product should be forced to leave the country. Of course if you are for a living wage you are a socialist. What a joke this country is.

"living wage?" What the hell is a "living wage" and who decides what is a "living wage?"

Yeah, why would we call it socialism, when we have people who think they can decide what is a "living wage" and ignore the realities of the market?????

Then move the **** out, asshole.
Living wage. You morons refuse to define what a living wage is.
You can't.
All you know is that someone has more or earns more than what fits inside your comfort zone. So instead of figuring out ways to assist people to improve their skills so they can earn more, you seek to tear down those in higher tax brackets.
You people invent things such as living wage in order to have something to complain about. That is your contribution. Complaining.

The GOP’s war on Americans has been going on for some time, but it started in earnest in January 2011 when Republicans assumed control of the House of Representatives and several state legislatures. First it must be emphasized that in recent memory there are no instances of Republicans passing any legislation that helps the American people, but they have worked tirelessly to help the wealthiest one percent. It is expected that during a normal campaign season, candidates and political parties would promote their agendas by stressing what they will do for the people, but Republicans have abandoned any pretext of helping Americans and are blatantly campaigning on enriching the wealthy and corporations.

Shortly after taking their oath of office, Republicans immediately singled out women for their initial assault, and then set out to increase hunger and poverty with vicious spending cuts affecting the poor, children, and elderly Americans. They used the deficit, budget, and religion to garner support for their assaults and have been unrelenting in pushing austerity measures on the 99%, and they found willing advocates among racists, teabaggers, and religious fanatics. The tragedy the GOP’s supporters will never comprehend until it is too late is that they will suffer as much as the poor people, minorities, and women they hate.

In both versions of Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity budget, the level of cuts to social safety nets is only matched in severity by the plan to privatize Medicare that not only decimates the elderly, but restricts uninsured Americans from receiving health care.

Republican Traitors Declare War on the American People

Great article!!! Hope you all will check it out.

War?

Really?

Hard to believe, considering the vast majority of neo-Republican politicians don't like war. I mean, they don't mind send your and my children off to die thousands of miles away in a foreign war, they just don't want to have to fight one personally.

Actually the truth here is that all Republicans hate war, especially those of us who have been there. Have you checked the status of the military lately? You will be surprised...

REALLY Ollie? Where were all these Republicans who hate war when Bush and Cheney lied us into a 3 trillion dollar war in Iraq?

Ignorance is not an excuse. Ironic, you mention 'realities of the market'. The Godfather of realities of the market is Adam Smith...

In his Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith recognized that rising real wages lead to the "improvement in the circumstances of the lower ranks of people" and are therefore an advantage to society. Growth and a system of liberty were the means by which the laboring poor were able to secure high wages and an acceptable standard of living. Rising real wages are secured by growth through increasing productivity against stable price levels, i.e. prices not affected by inflation. A system of liberty, secured through political institutions whereupon even the "lower ranks of people" could to secure the opportunity for higher wages and an acceptable standard of living.

"Servants, labourers and workmen of different kinds, make up the far greater part of every great political society. But what improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconvenience to the whole. No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, cloathed and lodged."

Smith WN, I .viii.36

Smith advocated that labor should receive an equitable share of what labor produces; According to Smith, this equitable share amounts to more than subsistence. Smith equated the interests of labor and the interests of land with overarching societal interests. He reasoned that as wages and rents rise, as a result of higher productivity, societal growth will occur thus increasing the quality of life for the greater part of its members.

IN OTHER WORDS, you can't answer the question so you go to some cut and paste.

Problem is, that ISN'T THE REALITIES OF THE MARKET, it's just more socialist utopia nonsense.

What is a living wage? What is a living wage, if YOU are UNSKILLED, without experience and looking for just a job to gain that experience?

If you are REQUIRED to pay a "living wage" by bureacratic idiots who have NEVER worked in the real world, are you going to hire someone without experience?

No, you are not. If you are not allowed to pay according to these realities, then you will hire someone with experience. Why train someone if you have to pay them as much as someone already trained?

That is why "living wage" always hurts those it's supposed to help.

I wholeheartedly agree...

we should grab the obscenely wealthy, skin 'em alive in public, disembowel 'em, and hang their dead pasty white asses in the nearest public square...

and, since it won't come near to paying off the federal deficit, take their money for a giant feel-good keg party...

The key is not "rising wages". That's inflationary and at the end of the day helps no one. Because if wages rise so do prices. The net result is a wash.
Not rising wages. It's called increasing one's skills to increase their value to an employer which in turn will allow that more skilled worker to EARN more.
There is no magic wage increase fairy. I wish you lefties would get this through your heads...That the money has to come from somewhere. And no employer has this mysterious pot of money on which he or she sits. So stow it.

Then Smith was a communist and had no clear idea how markets work.

If you invent a product, put all the time, risk and capital into bringing that product to market, you think some grunt who simply assmebles parts should get an EQUAL SHARE to the guy who risked practically everything he had to make it a reality???

The guy assembling parts has no risk in this! The guy who's investing is taking the risk.

That's an EXTREMELY IGNORANT view of capital, risk, and investing in general.

Your Adam Smith never ran a real company did he? Why don't you admit that.

Like all liberal "big thinkers" he just thought he should run a company.
