My economic interests are directly tied to the opportunity for me to work to earn my living, and on how much of my earnings I have to spend on the things that I need and want. There are other interests, of course, which are also of importance to me, but this is pretty well near the top.
But you keep voting for people who want to make it easier for the rich to pay you less and give you less rights at work. Event one in the Decline of the White Middle Class was when Ronnie Ray-gun fired the PATCO workers, and gave the signal that Republicans would take the side of the investor class over the worker class.
You have never come anywhere close to making any credible case that the policies that I support are detrimental to my interests, or that the policies that you support are anything but seriously detrimental to my interests.
Well, I have, but you were too stupid to understand them. I mean, I get it, Mormons aren't terrible intelligent or they wouldn't be Mormons.
Let me give you ONE example. In 2004, George W. Stupid was about to get thrown out on his ass because he lied us into an unnecessary war in Iraq. Then he suddenly discovered that gays were getting married in just one state!!! GASP. Because the Republicans Mormon Governor of that State let it happen, but never mind, they were getting married in just one state and we had to put a stop to that! He was going to put a constitutional amendment out there to stop that shit, defining marriage as one man and one woman.
And then after he BARELY got re-elected, Bush suddenly forgot about that. Nope, his next priorities were 1) Escalating the war in Iraq, and 2) Trying to turn over the Social Security Fund to Wall Street investors. (The latter was further than even Republicans wanted to go). He appointed people who outright ignored the looming recession caused by an overinflated housing market.
And in 2008, most of those dumb white people found themselves with busted 401K's and underwater mortgages. But at least they stopped the gays from getting married...until they could.
You seem to think that I should believe that pandering to criminals, perverts, and invading foreign criminals is somehow in my best interests; that deliberate sabotage of the economy is in my best interests, that destruction of essential freedoms is in my best interests, and that a general pattern of social decay and degeneration is in my best interests; and that I am foolish for voting against all of that.
Guy, you miss the point, as you always do. How do gays getting married have any effect on your economic life?
And I've demonstrated time after time that the Prison-Industrial Complex is an economic drag on our economy.
You see, when you whine like a little Mormon Bitch about "Decay", you forget what made us great to start with. What made us great was a series of progressive Presidents stood up for the working class against the investor class, which is why we went from this...
to this
in a generation. (For white people at least.)
This didn't just magically happen. It happened because of government programs (middle class entitlements) preventing people from slipping into poverty and support of unions giving a fair wage to working people.
