Why Are Republicans So Relentlessly Cruel to the Poor?

[Billo_Really]

Lorenzo is not worth Phil Jackson's time, so he probably has talent, but do you really want to deal with his father's baggage?

All I can say is...

Lonzo the Laker.................and..................what can we get for Russell?

According to the New BS GOP, he made it all up and was wagging the dog...great job!

So you got no answer, thanks for the stupidity.

Again, your claim is the reports were written two years before the attacks, why didn't Clinton have a plan in place? Seems to me if the threat was as serious as claimed, the Clinton administration would have been all over it and would have captured Bin Laden when he had been given the chance.

If you can't answer the question or don't understand the question or just want to play stupid, it is all good with me. You are confirming what everyone already knows.

Only fake news says Clinton ignored any clues, dupe- unlike W. He was also busy defending himself against a tidal wave of GOP bs propaganda for 8 years. You and your party are a disgrace.

Dude, you are the one saying he knew ahead of time, go read your post!!! LOL! You don't know what the hell you post? Are you really as dumb as you appear to be?

Bush was totally incompetent. So much evidence of that, NOT for Clinton. DUH.

healthy food is NOT more expensive than processed crap
Soda is not cheaper than water or even iced tea you make at home

like I said if you eat off the dollar menu for every meal every day you spend more than enough money to buy real food for the week

Processed food is fattening, unhealthy crap. Look at the packaging. Sugary crap. All you can buy in the inner city.

uh huh.

Why do you think diabetes is an epidemic, esp. in black areas? DUH.

because the fat people CHOOSE to eat like crap

Thanks to the NEW BS Racist GOP, they have no real grocery stores. And all processed food is crap.

yes there are no grocery stores in any city anywhere in the entire country

but all those people have smart phones computers and the internet

[LTCArmyRet]

One of the seemingly defining qualities of leftists is that they assume they know everything, merely because of their assumed "moral superiority".

We evolved into a society where two breadwinners are essential because leftists have imposed their worldview on everything via the government.

Tax money that evaporates = How dare you selfish bastards think you own your income instead of the government owning it and giving you what it decides you need!

As far as your bitterness regarding the fact that people dare to influence state government contrary to your wishes simply because they outnumber you, I am not aware of any legal restrictions on you picking up and frigging moving to someplace populated by people who agree with you. Try that.

Bwahahaha! You'd make a great 'church lady'.

Maybe you can move somewhere else as well when the odious stench of liberalism creates policies you don't like.

No, I can't, because liberals insist on invading and infesting ******* EVERYWHERE, and take great offense to the idea that people who disagree with them should be allowed to live without their influence. Witness, for example, your insistence on living in Utah and demanding that they change things to suit you, instead of leaving the Mormons alone to do their own thing and going to find like-minded neighbors.

In case you're unaware of the history of your own state, Chuckles, the Mormons followed your advice, and they picked up and moved somewhere away from "the odious stench" of policies they didn't like, and what happened? You frigging leftists FOLLOWED THEM, and then started bitching.

Liberals are everywhere... You could leave the country if you hate that influence so much. Unfortunately for you, just about everywhere worth living is more liberal that the U.S.

If you are referring to European countries, yeah, they're more liberal and look at the shit problems they are having. Greece, Ireland bankrupt, Germany about there under the weight of their social programs, and France..... 43% tax rate. Not for me!!

43% is about what I pay now for taxes, retirement and medical. If I had student loans, I'd be paying even more. France isn't a bad deal and much more liveable than the U.S. IMO.

If you're paying that much, you can afford it.

Sure didn't accomplish very much considering the MILLIONS of people who have dropped out of the workforce. Please don't throw up that debunked Progressive talking point regarding the baby boomers retiring. You are "forgetting" that millions come into the workforce as they reach 16 and millions enter our country by way of legal and illegal immigration.

40 million baby boomers retiring kind of kills your theory

Can we talk about stay at home moms, the handicapped and students now?

only the mentally or physically handicapped are due government assistance. Students are students by choice. moms are moms by choice.

And families would be able to survive on one income, and have stay-at-home moms, if the government weren't so intent on picking everyone's pockets to give money away.

Don't even get me started on the government's encouraging of the proliferation of single mothers.

One of the seemingly defining qualities of conservatives is that they misidentify 'the enemy' about 90% of the time. We didn't evolve into a society where two breadwinners are the norm because of government. It's because of the constant pressure that corporations put on increasing profitability.

Totally wrong. In the 60's most households were single income. In the later 60's and into the 70's, it was the feminists that pushed for working moms, single-parent households, and professional women in the workplace.

It started seemingly harmless. The moment taught women that they were raised to be slaves by their fathers who's only worth in life was to bear children and give the man the family he felt he deserved. But that was just the beginning. It became more radicalized as time went on.

The feminists kept pushing for women to brake the shackles that restricted them from real life. Real life had much more to offer than give a man children and wait on him hand and foot. Not long after, women entered the workplace family or not. Divorce became commonplace to otherwise secure families. Women were living the dream they were told was possible by viewing the man as a sperm donor and nothing more.

The women who stayed with the family enjoyed the extra income and the things the extra money could buy. The new single mothers needed every dime they could get to raise their children because of course they took over the position of their husbands by being the main breadwinner.

And there you have it. Feminism is how we evolved into a two-income family. Today, more women graduate college than men. Most office buildings and industrial areas are equipped with daycare centers for mothers to let other people raise their children while they go to work.

no it's because people wanted more shit
bigger houses, 3 cars, central AC, computers smart phones 5 TVs expensive vacations every year etc etc

Not true.

Simply look at the total federal tax rate from the 1950's and today. Social Security was 3%, no Medicare and today the total is 15.3%

In 1955 my parents bought a basic starter home in South Miami for $12,500. Range, no refrigerator, no dishwasher, no carport or garage, no AC/Heat, terrazzo floors, no carpet. Today that home would cost $115,000.00. For about that price here in Tallahassee today, you could buy a 3/2 1,200 sq. single car garage, HVAC, range, dishwasher, carpet or vinyl throughout, nice neighborhood. So a much nicer house, more amenities.

 

[Markle]

I think the overall message here is that my bias against the LDS church should probably equate to a bias against most churches.

I'm curious why you have such a special hate for Mormon's. They're really good people.

 

[Markle]

I thought I made it clear the I saw different members of the church in different ways. Did you miss that? Or does everything just get filtered through your black and white lens?

Why?

 

[Markle]

The they that I mean is church leadership.

Why?

43% is about what I pay now for taxes, retirement and medical. If I had student loans, I'd be paying even more. France isn't a bad deal and much more liveable than the U.S. IMO.

In France, you'd have a heck of a lot more in taxes. Your "retirement and medical" is that Social Security and Medicare or other expenses? How do you figure you'd be paying more income taxes if you had student loans?

France is not nearly as "livable" as it might have been in the past. They are having a terrible time with immigration and Muslim communities refusing to blend into the communities.

European 'No-Go' Zones: Fact or Fiction? Part 1: France

• In October 2011, a 2,200-page report, "Banlieue de la République" (Suburbs of the Republic) found that Seine-Saint-Denis and other Parisian suburbs are becoming "separate Islamic societies" cut off from the French state and where Islamic Sharia law is rapidly displacing French civil law.
  
  
• The report also showed how the problem is being exacerbated by radical Muslim preachers who are promoting the social marginalization of Muslim immigrants in order to create a parallel Muslim society in France that is ruled by Sharia law.
  
  
• The television presenter asks: "What if we went to the suburbs?" Obertone replies: "I do not recommend this. Not even we French dare go there anymore. But nobody talks about this in public, of course. Nor do those who claim, 'long live multiculturalism,' and 'Paris is wonderful!' dare enter the suburbs."

This entire conversation is the result of a (largely successful) effort to redefine the debate over taxes from "how much in taxes do you pay" to "how much in federal income taxes do you pay?"

Once AGAIN your desperation is duly noted.

Why is it so hard for you to understand, as desperate as you are to win, you cannot.

Federal Income Taxes are all you can compare. They're the same in every state, county, and city in the country.

Are you aware that state, county and city taxes vary widely within states and even more between states?

Grow up, compare apples to apples rather than to artichokes. This will come as a shock to your little system but the state and local taxes I pay in Florida are widely different than those in New York City and wide too between here in Florida and those in Alaska or say Wyoming.

If you now want to compare state to state. Open a new thread.

Well surely controlling them for the good of others assumes they're too stupid to realize that someone doesn't want to be murdered and that they need the nanny state to tell them not to murder, or some religion to tell them.

The problem we have here is that we're not talking about telling people what they can and can't do. We're simply stating that healthy things have less tax on them than things that are not so healthy so that people can make a choice. You know, I could murder or I could not murder... hmm... well I might go to prison or be executed if I murder, so I'm not going to do it. I could buy a snickers or I could buy a salad, both are okay, however the snickers is cheaper, I'll take that as I don't have much money, oh, wait, the salad is now cheaper, maybe i'll go for that.

Tax policy as social engineering.

Already exists....

The question is why shouldn't you have social engineering, the right use it, the left use it, you probably even support it when it engineers what you want.

so just because it's used it's alright with you?

And it's not abut what you want. People have the right to choose what they want and what anyone wants is none of your of the government's business

No, that isn't what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying it exists already and you're probably fine with it being used in certain ways, you just don't realize that it is being used like that.

Yes, people have the right to choose what they want. At no point have I said people couldn't choose what they want.

This is about accepting the fact that the US has a major weight problem, and a major problem with sugar all over the place, and taxing things higher which cause problems. I understand that you have a problem with this, and I doubt I'm ever going to convince you of this. If I can't convince you of something when I have all the facts pointing to my argument and you have no facts, how am I going to convince you that sometimes you have to do the right thing?

huh? facts? what facts are you referring to?

Well you can just go find the thread which I am referring to and have a look, can't you?

You're the brainwashed functional idiot. The graph shows the average in the whole country. The rich don't pay enough and so the rest and the country suffer. Thanks greedy idiot GOP and sily dupes like you.
