Why are Republicans desperate to have a billionaire "elite" to run their lives?

[MeBelle]

I really want to know. They defend someone who says he likes to fire people. They want leaders who promise to throw grandma under the bus and slash education. What is the goal? To "undiscover" fire? Cause it sure seems that way.

'They' given your posting history means Republican.


California budget proposal contains deep spending cuts - Jun. 29, 2011

Capitol Alert: Jerry Brown tells Legislature to 'man up,' make cuts


Capitol Alert: Republicans propose California budget with state worker pay cut

Weak tax revenue to increase California budget deficit - Taxes - The Sacramento Bee

Dan Walters: Democrats tax the rich -- and help some get richer - Dan Walters - The Sacramento Bee


Enough? I have many more!

California's major problem is CALPers...following is CalSters... accomplished by "Leaders must be the example" ie Leg's PAY and benny cuts, including their staff. NOT PEOPLE cuts....bunch of Cali idiots!

You don't want to know crap.

You've already made up your mind and ask your questions in a way that simply puts your smear out there in an "innocent" light.

Hey ! I am just asking.

 

[MeBelle]

Jerry Brown 'fires' lots of people, usually the low man on the totem pole. It's not enough. He needs to REALLY deal with annuitants and CalPers.

One difference between Brown and Romney:

Brown uses fear tactics, allows the state unions to 'sway' his 'budget' decisions; "people are going to die', 'children will go hungry' 'the ability to afford an education is silly'...means raise taxes on all! Not a business decision, a political decision. His 'decisions' will cost the PUBLIC (taxes) more money out of pocket.

Romney 'fires' people...to save PRIVATE monies.


See the difference between PUBLIC monies and PRIVATE monies?

Rdean ran away from his own thread. Simple question Rdean, did you support Kerry? You are aware the Democratic party nominated him and supported him right? Is that somehow DIFFERENT?

Why are Republicans desperate to have a billionaire "elite" to run their lives?

They’re desperate to have a republican in the WH, any republican, even an incompetent fool like Romney.

Remember: for republicans it’s about power, not what’s best for the Nation. With a republican administration they can return Bush Era retreads to positions of authority, determining important policy issues for the entire country.

Indeed, it would be exactly like having GWB back in office again.

News flash CC, it's about power for all of them. Power and money. Republican and Democrat.

They envy the rich and think one day they might be rich too. Rather than be smart and realize there is a better chance they will be one of us and rely on social security and medicare, they vote that they will someday hit the lotto. Because you would have to be very very rich not to need social security and medicare. Even with medicare, the costs on my parents are staggering. Lucky for us they have money.

These right wing voters think somehow they would benefit from a free market. Good for them having the confidence to think that they would succeed in an every man for himself society. That's confidence. But what if you aren't? And what about the rest of us? Republican free markets produce a small rich, small merchantile class and big working poor class. Many of these righties think they would wind up in the merchantile class, and many of them are wrong. Arrogant and ignorant.

But we take care of them regardless. When they need social security and medicare, its there for them, despite themselves. We didn't just earn sick days and vacation days for ourselves. They get them too.

And maybe some of them are "rich". Parents sent them to private schools, 6 figure jobs, will enherit a fortune, etc. Good for them. But there are a lot more of us than there are of them. That is why they also use wedge issues like god gays and guns to con over other ignorant middle class voters. Like the racist who works for a union. Who does he vote for? LOL. Or the Catholic Teacher who's pro life? Who does she vote for? If she votes GOP her pay goes down. If she votes Dem then abortion stays legal.

Or they don't realize the government has helped them in many ways. They think their tax dollars are going to the poor who didn't work for it and are lazy.

Poor does not equal sad
Rich does not equal happy.

I know they do in your fantsies but not real life. Who are the envious ones?

If America was run like the Game of Survivor, I would envy the shananigans pulled by the GOP. How they stole the 2000 and 2004 elections and got away with it, even though the media is liberal. How they were able to lie us into Iraq. How they were able to obstruct Pelosi and Reed and obama and win back the majority in the 2010 midterms with their tea baggers. How the got Citizens United passed. How they were able to bankrupt the country with Bush and blame it on Obama. How they used their money to influence our politics.

But I don't admit them because we didn't start out with the same amount of monopoly chips as Romney and Bush did. And you don't think they should pay their fair share of taxes. You must envy them very much.

Interesting Freudian slip. Does the left really think the president "runs their lives"?

So all of those retired state workers in forced union states are very very rich? Because they certainly do not need SS and Medicare......oh, denial coming...Hold on, this is what you posted...."Because you would have to be very very rich not to need social security and medicare. Even with medicare, the costs on my parents are staggering. Lucky for us they have money. ".
You are so misinformed. Most financially responsible people have opened IRA's or if self employed Keough accounts for their retirement. Many have 401k's. Many have stock options with their employers. These things will all allow them to not have to rely on SS which was NEVER meant to be a full retirement fund. Rather, it is a supplement.
Now let's get to the real deal. The problem with you libs boils down to rhetorical questions you spew out of your constant hand wringing and perpetual state of misery..
Those are "But what about" and "What if"....
These two questions have created the scourge of dumbing down, lowest common denominator and political correctness.
Yiu people are so worried about things that are none of your business, you make them everyone else's business. If you are so worried for the "But what about's" and "what if's" by al means, worry about them yourself. But do it with YOUR OWN MONEY.
We do benefit from the marketplace. The open market permits the creating of wealth.
The marketplace knows no political party. Ask Bill Gates and George Soros. Both very wealthy. Both very liberal. Every time you spew class envy these names and the names of well known super rich libs has you talking out of your iowa sized ass.
"Merchantile"? Every computer has spell check...USE IT!
You are truly a hysterical individual who knows very little but is full of emotion. And not much thought.

That isn't the purpose of the government our founding fathers created.
It shouldn't be the purpose of the government now.
I'm disgusted by people that want the "government" to take care of them or their needs.

Run away from what?

You can support someone who is rich. It's not the same as desperately wanting them to run you life. We both know that right wingers only care that someone figured out a way to get rich, not "how". "How" doesn't matter. It's exactly why you people feel good about cutting daycare, health care, food programs for children and education just so you can give a billionaire another tax break. And you defend them. Oh, they are the "job creators", but they aren't "creating jobs" because there is "uncertainty". Who could believe such bullshit? Seriously? You guys can't possibly believe your own "spew". It's just not possible.

[Avatar4321]

Why do you presume that getting the government out of our lives, ie some rich politician controlling things, means billionaire elite run our lives?

Did you ever consider that we want to run our own lives? That we dont care whether we are wealthy or poor, we just want to run our own lives and not have some wealthy big government politician deciding everything in our lives?

You whine about the rich controlling things, but then you support them controlling every aspect of our lives through big government. If you truly want the rich our of your life, you cannot be a progressive. Because big government is nothing but some elitist trying to control your life.

 

[chanel]

Tip to avoid the rubber room:

Don't lie.

A. Romney is not a "billionaire" (I know libs have trouble with decimals)
B. Only leftist loonies expect a president to "run their lives" Even sane Dems would take issue with that

You're welcome.
