The GOP must save America; Until then, I'm ashamed to be a patriot

[bodecea]

If you are waiting for the GOP to save America, you are part of the problem.

Get off your ass and do something to save this nation yourself.

I am doing something, Im a job creator, Im not a TAKER. Only Democrats like you want to live your life off the taxpayer.

I say privatize 99% of government.

HOA's do a better job governing their own neighborhood than the local government. Each city and county can have a PRIVATE HOA style government, that enforces ordinance through civil fines, not GUNS and TAXES. The only government worker we'd need is civil judges. Nothing else. We'd save a lot on taxes, and have some basic, limited rules. People serving on that "HOA" type board would be randomly selected, like a lottery, each year for 1 year of term.

Wait...are you holding up HOAs as good government??????

 

[TooTall]

When was the last time the GOP actually cut spending? And that means they actually spent less one year than they did in the last.

Total federal spending in 2012 was $3.611 Trillion, and in 2013 was $3.455 trillion. Can you say 'sequestor?"

According to who?

I've never been much for online forums, but, I cant hold it in anymore without venting. If this country goes much longer with Democrats in control, we're doomed. Unlike Michelle, this is the first time I'm ashamed of my country.

Government must be slashed at all levels. Every department, every level. Period. There is nothing the government does- nothing, that I and my fellow citizens cannot do better. Enough is enough.

Taxes must be slashed. The job makers and creators pay the bills. Enable that. Not handouts.

Rand Paul will get my vote, or Ted Cruz. Either one.

But cut government and taxes. Period.

Taxes are the lowest in 50 years. Government has shrunk under Obama by 800,000.

Stop drinking the Kool-aid.

What makes me ashamed is we could have a major political party like the Republicans, who have caused such terrible damage to the entire world.

What was it that had altered in the faces of the pigs? Clover's old dim eyes
flitted from one face to another. Some of them had five chins, some had four,
some had three. But what was it that seemed to be melting and changing?
Then, the applause having come to an end, the company took up their cards
and continued the game that had been interrupted, and the animals crept silently
away.

But they had not gone twenty yards when they stopped short. An uproar of
voices was coming from the farmhouse. They rushed back and looked through
the window again. Yes, a violent quarrel was in progress. There were shoutings,
bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The source of
the trouble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington had each played
an ace of spades simultaneously.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question,
now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked
from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already
it was impossible to say which was which.

The ending to Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Great book.Give the new guy some time here. Let him read some. We all at one time or another were blinded by loyalty to certain groups of politicians. Only when it hits us in the face with their policies do we wake up.

Let's assume this is true, despite the fact that it's coming from the government and doesn't account for off-books expenditures: It's still only a paltry decrease in the rate of increase.

 

[Jackson]

No, Democrats have sold us out. The GOP will cut spending, cut government, and protect us.

Im talking about all government. We don't need 99% of what we have in government. Look at volunteer fire departments. They don't take tax money. Most government could work the same way. In a free market, free people will eventually take up to volunteer for the crucial roles in government.

If we want it bad enough, we'll volunteer to do it, and not pay TAX money for it.

There shouldn't be contracts in the military. Make it truly voluntary. We all have a right to bear arms. If we NEED to fight a war, we'll all come together and volunteer for it. If we decide a road needs to be built, we'll all do our part, or, if we don't, we must not have wanted it that bad anyway.

To force others to pay for things that they don't want done in society is wrong.

All the time, and not just in Washington. Republicans all over America at smaller governments have been cutting waste and cutting unnecessary government.

99% of government should be abolished and replaced by private sector, who can do it all better. Its my tax money, and no one should be entitled to it.

You don't want the main stream Republicans. You want the Tea Party Republicans. The Tea Party Republicans have an ideology that conforms with what is best for the country not the party. But they aren't good at compromise which sometimes is necessary. They are idealists. But high in integrity, which is what you are looking for.

Just because Democrats are in the White House, you're ashamed to be American? Get the hell out of my party. If you hate it here so bad I challenge you to find a better country to live in.

[Kosh]

THE gop and Reaganism have been a disaster for the nonrich and the country. Pandering to the rich isimmoral AND idiotic, hater dupes. See sig para 1.

Dems are slowly turning the stupid ship of greed around...The first thing that had to be done was getting Big Health UNDER CONTROL AND PEOPLE ALL COVERED- with the rich paying more. NEXT- IMMIGRATION REFORM THAT WILL HUGELY HELP THE ECONOMY. The GOP argument against that is hate and envy...

The rich got rich in a FREE America, and so can anyone else. Its not their job to support your entitlements or to fund your protection or education

BS- tHEY GOT RICH IN A usa THAT FAVORITIZED THEM- AND RUINED THE NONRICH AND THE COUNTRY- CHANGE THE CHANNEL AND GET SOME REAL NEWS- gd shift key-....

Memorize the facts, hater dupes:

1. WORKERS past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):1950 = 101%1960 = 105%1970 = 105%1980 = 105% – Reagan1990 = 100%2000 = 96%2007 = 92%A 13% drop since 1980A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.Share of National Income going to Top 10%:1950 = 35%1960 = 34%1970 = 34%1980 = 34% – Reagan1990 = 40%2000 = 47%2007 = 50% TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.Household Debt as percentage of GDP:1965 = 46%1970 = 45%1980 = 50% – Reagan1990 = 61%2000 = 69%2007 = 95% An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.1950 = 6.0%1960 = 7.0%1970 = 8.5%1980 = 10.0% – Reagan1982 = 11.2% – Peak1990 = 7.0%2000 = 2.0%2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

4. Household Debt as percentage of GDP:1965 = 46%1970 = 45%1980 = 50% – Reagan1990 = 61%2000 = 69%2007 = 95%A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%and the bottom 80%:1980 = 10%2003 = 56%A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.The Probabilityy of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:1945 = 12%1958 = 6%1990 = 3%2000 = 2%A 10% Decrease.

Zeke... bend over, grab your ears, then give a good, quick, hard pull. If you hear a popping sound, then you have successfully pulled your head out of your ass.

We can NOT continue with the status quo. Every fucking economist in the country agrees with that. We are on an UNSUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL PATH, period.

So either catch up with current events and get the facts, or continue with your low information voter crap.

Don't look to Establishment parties to fix what ails America. They may tinker around but I don't expect a whole lot from either party in the way of changing the way business is done in Washington ESPECIALLY Republicans

Love him or hate him, if you see Michael Moore's "Capitalism...A Love Story" and he "ka-chings" off the dollars that Congressmen on both sides of the aisle have taken from corporations over their careers, you won't vote for either side ever again.

True, though that point belies the title of his movie. That isn't capitalism. Corporatism is a form of centralized planning, which is socialism. Capitalism is economic freedom, in capitalism neither politicians nor corporations are making people's choices for them. It is only government which can restrict choice, and that is because they are the only ones who can use force.
