Republicans like to think they understand the concept of “free shit” but actually don’t

Lol you keep talking about supporting lazy bums when you really aren’t. The large majority of us pay taxes.

So then what is the problem? If you’re so successful and you’re paying all of these taxes, pay for your own fucking education and your own fucking healthcare. What’s the problem?

Uh because idiot the large majority of people can’t afford college unless they take out loans they can never pay back.

So, you're saying that the taxpayers should be forced to pay for someone's college education when they will not end up making enough to make it worth the investment ??? (Otherwise, the increase in earning power should be enough to pay off the loans!!!)

That sounds like typical liberal logic!!!

But if you're really that interested in "FREE SHIT", maybe you should consider moving to San Francisco... I hear it's laying around in the street all over town, and they're just BEGGING people to take it!!!

Gee, you DO understand how the government works, don't you???

The appropriation bills (and tax laws) begin in the House of Representatives...

Maybe you should call Pelosi and ask her to do her job, instead of wasting time and money being butthurt over losing an election...

That way, YOU can help pay for those wars too (like the Constitution requires)...

 

[DBA]

I understand the concept perfectly...

I work, and have the government take the money to pay for lots of shit the lazy Democrats aren't willing to work for...

Right???

Right and in return you get government services you goon lol. Also, the left is more likely to have a higher education therefore they have jobs idiot.

Um...no. Republicans make more money on average and have a higher employment rate than Democrats. Got any other excuses?

Hell, if the Democrats have jobs, they can buy their own shit, instead of demanding that I pay for it!!!

(And BTW, having a degree in Gender Studies, which teaches you that you can't look in your pants and tell what gender you are, isn't an education... The typical kid in kindergarten can figure THAT out!!!)

They pay taxes too you moron. God you people are so dense.

Hey, did you know that you can actually send the government EXTRA MONEY to pay for all that FREE shit you want to give away, instead of trying to force ME to support a bunch of lazy bums???

Maybe the Democrats should try that, since they're so generous...

(But, sorry, the government doesn't accept food stamps!!!)

Lol you keep talking about supporting lazy bums when you really aren’t. The large majority of us pay taxes. But I get it. It makes you feel manly and superior deluding yourself in that way.

Me giving more money to the IRS by myself won’t magically pay for these programs. It’s a waste unless it is a collective fund.

Close to 50% pay no income taxes. Guess who make up most of that 50%? Yeah, that would be Democrats. You see, there is a nice little spin put on it by Democrats when they say things like most welfare comes from red states and most who don't pay taxes come from red states. They are implying that is because Republicans are the welfare and no-tax crowd when, in reality, those states do tend to have many lower income folks who vote Democrat.

"In 2008, Obama lost Georgia by 5 percentage points but he won 70% of voters who earned less than $30,000 -- which is precisely the demo most likely to owe no federal income tax. Obama lost Mississippi by 14 percentage points, but picked up 66% of voters who earned less than $30,000. As a general rule, Republicans win among richer voters -- both in the red states and the blue."

Liberals tend to fall for anything, but we all know the truth. The poorest of the poor, the most uneducated and the least successfuly vote overwhemingly for Democrats, which is why Democrats want to bus people from the projects to the polling stations. You don't see them going to upper middle class neighborhoods and picking them up because they know that would be detremental.

I know you guys know this, but it hurts you feelings to know that you vote for the same loosers that the loosers themselves vote for.

Free tuition means the people who are going to school don't pay...the taxpayer pays.

That means you pay for school whether you go or not. If you decide to NOT go to college...tough shit, you are going to pay for it any way...and you will continue to pay as long as you live!

That's what "FREE" means!

On average:
People who go to college earn substantially more than people who don’t.

People who go to college contribute more to the economy than people who don’t

People who go to college are less dependent on government services than people who don’t.

And yet still, as income grows, the more Conservative one becomes. Demographics dont lie. The brainwashing by the liberal educational system only goes so far. Most people who are actually intelligent, break away from the childish beliefs they are taught by their petulant professors when they get into the real world(something most professors know nothing about).

I have no problem paying.......Trump cut taxes but didn't cut war costs. I'm sure the Republicans and Trump would support a bill raising taxes to cover the war costs. Not.

It's sad that people get upset that some want to fund things to help people but those same people do not want to pay for their destructive wars.

 

[Norman]

it’s a phrase used by republicans to denigrate the left for wanting tuition free college or socialized healthcare, but they don’t really understand how these concepts are no different than programs already in place.

When a republican’s house is on fire or they need police assistance do they pay the responders personally? Uh no. They keep the “free shit”. You see, something like free tuition or socialized medicine are no different. All of these programs are paid for with tax payer revenue. Bernie, after all, has tax proposals to pay for his ideas.

It's a term for denigrating people who depend on free shit provided by American tax payer, like you.

It is most widely used for people who depend on other people's free shit, yet feel the need to lecture those people how to do shit. Like you...

Seems like there are no gaps in my understanding, oops.

This "free shit" ?

Farmers Got Billions From Taxpayers In 2019, And Hardly Anyone Objected

Securing the nations food supply is a national priority. We need to make sure it is constantly stabilized.

I am guessing you come from the city, and have no idea how farming, and planing on long term planting needs goes. . . . so. . . we don't really need to have much of a conversation on this.

Just trust me, if you want to have stable food prices in the long term, like two, three years out, trust me, this is for YOUR BEST INTEREST, and the nations best interests.

It is a matter of national security. This is why the SNAP program is also in the farm bill.

Except "securing the food supply" wasn't the point of Trump's bailout for farmers.

The entire economy is not reliant on the billions and billions and billions the Fed is creating out of nothing that no one is actually working to create?

Uh no. Anyone going to college in such a scenario pays taxes.

You offered NO argument against what I said.

If they work & pay taxes while going to college, they are still paying for everybody elses college & will do so for life.

And that's what you call "free".

Christ everyone pays taxes. You implied those who go to college don’t. And yeah, this concept applies to any government program some people don’t use. Plenty of people aren’t on Medicare or Medicaid yet they pay for those taxes myself included. You don’t hear me whining. Without tax payer revenue, elderly people and kids of poor families wouldnt get healthcare.

Billy, our founders never wanted anything like this. They wanted free people, not kept people by their federal government. It's the reason they left and found this land in the first place.

Thanks to progressivism (if you wish to call it that) we went from a free people, to a cradle-to-grave government. Government provides housing (in suburbs for many cities) provides food, provides medical care, provides phones, provides daycare centers, provides utilizes, tells us what to eat, what we can and cannot smoke, what kind of cars we should be driving, provides retirement funds, what our children are allowed to eat in school, and even a choice of gender you wish to be.

Does that sound like we are free people to you? And to add insult to injury, it's not enough. Now government wants to provide you with national healthcare coverage and college as well. What's left for you to decide? What color of carpet you have in your home?

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution that grans Congress the right, of expending on articles of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
James Madison, annals of Congress 1794

I support the government providing the large majority of those things. Not even sure what you mean by phones or gender but whatever.

Let me put this way: obviously there is such a thing as too much government. However, there is also such a thing as too little. That balance is important.

Let me interject------------>the education system was designed to give Americans the skills to navigate life as we know it. Even back in those early days, there was higher education, and it was not for free!

Why?

Because higher education back then, as of today, was designed so as you could be MORE successful if you were willing to bite the bullet and finance it yourself.

If you have a highschool diploma, the thinking was------------->you knew how to read, count, balance a checkbook, and had the skills to get through life.

Now explain to everyone why if the pursuit of college is to make MORE money, why we the taxpayers should fund YOUR opportunity to do that? We gave you the skills for free to make that decision on your own. It is your CHOICE, not our responsibility!

Nothing but a vast generalization. There have always been places to get a higher education that did not cost anything up front. Many community colleges started off this way.

Elizabeth is calling for universal free public college and cancelling student loan debt for 42 million Americans. Add your name if you agree: it’s time to cancel student debt and make universal free college a reality.
