The Business of Government is to Promote Happiness or Business?

[thereisnospoon]

The business of a Democrat controlled government is to make it as hard as possible for a business in the private sector to succeed.
The purpose of a Democrat controlled government is to impose as many taxes as possible in order to force people to be dependent
on government thereby keeping Democrats in power.

Democrats AND Republicans want to make it hard for small businesses AND labor unions in order to maximize shareholder value; that's why the US economy has "recovered" for the richest 10 percent of Americans.

Labor unions? Please. For whatever struggles unions experience, it is of their own doing.

 

[thereisnospoon]

The last thing Democrats want is for the private sector to thrive letting people have freedom to grow the company.
They want people dependent on government programs in return for votes.

Yet Democrats have controlled the Executive Branch for the last six years and did absolutely nothing to prosecute Wall Street for wiping out billion$ of middle class wealth. Both major parties serve the same one percent of Americans.

Oh...shut up...Your class envy pro union mantra is so worn out.

"The Business of Government is to Promote Happiness or Business?"

Neither.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

liberals believe that "promote the general welfare" means take care of everyone from birth to death, except unborn children that is.

They ( progressives) replaced the word "promote" with "provide".
In that same vein, they replaced "of" with "from" as it relates to freedom to practice one's religion. Except of course Islam. Which is the latest addition to the list of PC protected classes.

A gargantuan welfare/warfare police state where the motherfuckers decide what rights we may have

If rights are human artifacts, and we have no rights without enforcement, isn't government required for rights to have any utility?

Oh boy...Can you be any more dense? Give it a try...
Genius..The point is WE give OUR permission to the government to enforce those laws which protect our rights.
This is why we have legislatures and courts.

You didn't even try to counter his contention that both parties' policies allowed the 10% to recover from the great recession, while the rest did not, let alone suggest how either party addresses the income disparity that has arisen since 1980, after a gradual decline in disparity from roughly 1900 to 1980.

I was in business and never got a damn thing form any government, nor did the govt. get in my way of earning as much as I wanted or needed...

Not necessarily true. Small business is hampered by mountains of regulations. Most of which are in place for the sole purpose of extracting money from said businesses.

You call the guy dense while you so totally missed his point that you inadvertently actually agreed with him. LOL

I lost you there George.

The rights are Life, Liberty, Property and to Pursue Happiness.


The Founding Fathers believe that government should secure - protect - those rights.

But government is not supposed to steal from "A" and give to "B" in order to give those rights "utility".


.

Those 'rights' are considered 'Natural Rights' by the Founders. Rights that NO man and NO government can limit or take away.

Originally, John Locke worded them as 'Life Liberty and Property'.

Property because all men were entitled to enrich themselves as a result of their own labor and that when ANY government tried to limit ANY of those Natural Rights, that men could, and should, rebel.

Well, unless you're a dimocrap scumbag. And that's all they do.

Quite simply, they steal money from people who work for it and give it to people who vote dimocrap.

Simple

Ahh, so those that don't vote democrat and are registered GOP members never have taken welfare?

More accurately, never gamed the system

 

[thereisnospoon]

omg, now I'm going to barf.

I don't need or WANT anyone to PROMOTE anything for me and my life.
I think we are all "Capable" of doing that all on OUR OWN.

Then tax breaks for business should end?

Define "tax break"

No I did not....Read it again wise ass.

Define "tax break"

Why? Aren't you smart enough to know what a tax break IS? If that's the case (and it is), you would never understand the explanation. So why bother.

 

[thereisnospoon]

One party is filled with dishonest, lying scum with dishonest lying scumbags that care only about themselves making up the bulk of their voting block, and the other Party is made up of Patriots who care about the Country.

For "Patriots who care about the Country," Republicans sure act like Democrats when they get in power.

At times, yes they most certainly do. This is prevalent among establishment republicans. Boehner is an establishment republican.

Missed the point. I wanted to see the OP's definition of "tax break"....

Neither.

What is the business of government?

Daily operations as prescribed in the US Constitution

 

[thereisnospoon]

But government is not supposed to steal from "A" and give to "B" in order to give those rights "utility".

If "A" has stolen from "B", should government redistribute what's been stolen? Every western government yet invented has existed to advantage its richest citizens at the expense of its majority. The solution isn't to weaken the power of government, but rather to weaken the power of economic elites who have owned every previous government.

Nice try.
Hey genius...The non producers have nothing to steal. So your point is moot

 

[dblack]

The business of government is to promote the happiness of the society, by punishing and rewarding.

I couldn't disagree more with this view of government.

For the Federal government, it's primarily to provide for the common defense.

Common defense has many more facets today than it did 200 years ago, for example, unemployment and climate change qualify as threats to common defense and the general welfare. You aren't one of those who thinks a literal interpretation of the US Constitution supplies enough answers for a 21st century republic to survive, are you?

oh bullshit...
People in government decided all by themselves that with a stroke of a pen or a check here or there, they could solve all of the problems facing the nation. But along the way they figured out they needed revenue to do the solving. So they created more crises in order to attach more of our earnings. And to solve the crises, people( employees) were required which in turn require even more taxation and regulation.
The whole system of government placing itself in the role of parent and sibling to the people has gotten out of control...
It was never the intention of the Founders to make the federal government the largest civilian employer in the nation. It was never intended for federal employees to make a career of government. The intent was "service to the people"...That one as a servant to the people did so on a temporary basis. Then they went home back to their normal lives and let the next person in line take over.
Finally, the purpose of the US Constitution is not to "provide answers"....The document is the foundation of our nation. Without it, we crumble.
Yes, every so often the Constitution requires adjustments.
Hence the reason for the Amendment process.
Unfortunately, we have a chief executive who views the Constitution as a barrier or an annoyance.
And to answer your next retort.
Obama basically wiped out our duly passed and signed immigration laws by political fiat. HE decided all by himself that our immigration laws were simply "not to be enforced"....
That is just one example.

Yet businesses do better under Democratic control

Only those that get government handouts. All the rest get screwed.

No they don't

They believe in helping people who need help

Everyone believes in helping people who need help. Able bodied people on generational welfare do not need our tax dollars to maintain their drug and booze habits.

Countries like Pakistan also do not need our tax dollars.

We waste billions based on dem/lib feeeeeeeeeeeelings and emoooooooooooootion.

The only ones Republicans are concerned about helping is the one percent

Now, this is the point where you get to point out any GOP legislation from Republicans that is not targeted to the one percent

Tut tut. You are demanding one of us prove a negative...
Tell ya what.....go to house.gov or senate.gov.....There you can look up all the legislation you want. You can prove you are just spouting off class envy whinyness yourself.
