Why Are Republicans So Relentlessly Cruel to the Poor?

[rightwinger]

She's not ******* fortunate you retard she has something to offer a company that is willing to pay those vacation days. And the fact you think we should go after a company like that and force them to take those vacation days away and give them to someone else is pathetic. You. Are. The. Problem.

You're a teacher right? Admittedly probably not a good one but let's say you are as you claim. You have some pretty sweet healthcare and retirement benefits along with the salary you're stealing for being such a failure in your profession. How about we just take your money, home, retirement, savings and just give it to someone less fortunate? I think that's a pretty good idea right there. All government employees lose all of their benefits until we help the poor get to an equal level of income.

I think I have found the problem here. It's not those out there trying to work and make a living that need to pay. It's any government employee at any federal, state, city or county level that should work for free. In order to help the poor people.

You will note that earlier he was bloviating that by law we should be getting 4 weeks off or more. And that's why we need unions.

Now the tune changes because I work in healthcare and get 6 weeks. Which is average for most corporations BTW.

It's not average for corporations - not even close. Most corporations top out at 4 weeks. One that I've considered working for tops out at 5. I've never seen 6 in an American corporation. Here's one more reason that healthcare costs go up way faster than inflation and are bloated beyond any other industry.

Another good example of why pharma in particular is a scam is that they hire former beauty queens to go around a flirt with doctors. I knew one about 15 years ago that made 60k for a part time gig. She'd finish by lunch time and go home and drink rum and cokes all afternoon.

That's interesting because even the federal government give employees 6 weeks.

Maximum is five weeks after 15 years

Plus holidays

Weekends too

I'm not the dupe of greedy idiots megarich GOPers, dupe. You and your New BS GOP brainwashers have ruined the middle class and the country the last 35 years. After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?

You are an old hypocrite. You do no more than anyone else and yet you constantly point fingers and cry.

Your party is a lying cheating disgrace, and you're an idiot. LOL

China is cruel to the poor by switching to Republican capitalism and eliminating 40% of the poverty on the planet!!

It's

Never. Be careful, he is a 6'4" 215 lb mean fighting machine.

I had no idea pure ******* stupid could stack that high. 6'4"? Pretty impressive.

Not stupid, dupe. 35 YEARS of Reaganism= After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole? Progressivism was BEFORE that. The rich taxed fairly, investment in the people and our infrastructure. THEN: Anything for the rich and giant corps DUHHHHH...

100+ years of the progressive policies have brought us to this point. How is that great society working out? Reagan give us a few years reprieve from the failures of progressives but of course they didn't like it. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that so...

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the 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% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 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% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

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% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 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 Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Somebody needs to inform him that the conservatives of the past were even more "selfish" and to drop his faux philosopher act.

So does that mean that today's selfishness is ok because it is of a lesser degree?

My point stands, you are a hypocrite. You don't do anymore than anyone else does. Grow up old man.

I'm not the dupe of greedy idiots megarich GOPers, dupe. You and your New BS GOP brainwashers have ruined the middle class and the country the last 35 years.

It's like you've never heard of a democrat before specifically a Clinton.

LOVED Carter, JFK, RFK, Truman, FDR, and LBJ. The only Good GOPers were Lincoln and TR. Ike was an Indie.

I'm a hypocrite? I'm lying? BS. I never call you a liar, just a dupe. I call Murdoch, Adelson, Moon, Scaife, Bannon liars. Read the book.

Loved Carter. Anyone else need more information to know why we're dealing with a moron dupe? Anyone?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

The facts are the industrialists cashed in short term profits while they refused to invest in the modernization of their facilities. It was management who designed and built crappy cars nobody wanted.....the workers just did what they were told

Short term? How many decades was the auto industry based in and around Detroit building plants and turning out tens of millions of automobiles?

You have yet to point out how those manufacturers "used up" Detroit. The Unions forced our cars to be more expensive, leaving a huge market for lower priced moving into the market.

To be competitive, they were forced out of Detroit causing the collapse of a formerly great city.

Ford has been paying more for health insurance for their employees and families than they have been paying for steel, since 1977. Oddly enough, that system of employer group health plans, instead of single payer plans, like Medicare for all, is just peachy with the Right. But, when I hear that the Right blames the unions of the demise of American auto manufacturers, instead of on the ridiculous employer group health plan system, I marvel at the hypocrisy.

No one starts/runs a business just to hire people… Dip shit

I don't have the slightest idea of what your point is. My point is simply that the republicans, by blocking single payer health insurance, have, instead, saddled employers with the cost of health insurance, making manufacturers uncompetitive in the world market, and then blaming unions for the decline in sales of American cars.

Try to focus.

Single payer has to be paid by somebody... they will object

Single payer actually means everyone will be paying for the single higher government types getting all the healthcare and everyone else get's nothing. But you get to pay for it so maybe the term should be changed to single beneficiary.

I don't have the slightest idea of what your point is. My point is simply that the republicans, by blocking single payer health insurance, have, instead, saddled employers with the cost of health insurance, making manufacturers uncompetitive in the world market, and then blaming unions for the decline in sales of American cars.

Single payer has to be paid by somebody... they will object

Single payer actually means everyone will be paying for the single higher government types getting all the healthcare and everyone else get's nothing. But you get to pay for it so maybe the term should be changed to single beneficiary.

RW idiocy. It means everyone pays for their HC in their taxes and the gov't controls the costs. Works great everywhere. Half our cost and better life spans. ACA will work too, just takes time...

No, you're delusional.
No one Can afford these socialist entitlement programs...
Only ******* inbred morons like yourself would trust the federal government.

Somebody needs to inform him that the conservatives of the past were even more "selfish" and to drop his faux philosopher act.

So does that mean that today's selfishness is ok because it is of a lesser degree?

You are an old hypocrite. You do no more than anyone else and yet you constantly point fingers and cry.

Your party is a lying cheating disgrace, and you're an idiot. LOL

It's like you've never heard of a democrat before specifically a Clinton.

LOVED Carter, JFK, RFK, Truman, FDR, and LBJ. The only Good GOPers were Lincoln and TR. Ike was an Indie.

I'm a hypocrite? I'm lying? BS. I never call you a liar, just a dupe. I call Murdoch, Adelson, Moon, Scaife, Bannon liars. Read the book.

Loved Carter. Anyone else need more information to know why we're dealing with a moron dupe? Anyone?

HE didn't kill the Golden Goose- Reaganists did, dupe.
The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 35 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the 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% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 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% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

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% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 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 Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Damn, a repost. Still not meaning much here but congrats on keeping your talking points handy.

And I am kind of wondering how you're going to spin the Clinton years. You always claim they were the best so if that was true but Reagan's boom years weren't then how did it all get worse under Clinton?

So 30 years of progressive policies has produced exactly no progress. Some may call that even more years invested in the poverty prevention system. You have accomplished exactly nothing in helping people with your generous donations of other peoples money. When do you think you will learn this?

Never. Be careful, he is a 6'4" 215 lb mean fighting machine.

I had no idea pure ******* stupid could stack that high. 6'4"? Pretty impressive.

Not stupid, dupe. 35 YEARS of Reaganism= After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole? Progressivism was BEFORE that. The rich taxed fairly, investment in the people and our infrastructure. THEN: Anything for the rich and giant corps DUHHHHH...

100+ years of the progressive policies have brought us to this point. How is that great society working out? Reagan give us a few years reprieve from the failures of progressives but of course they didn't like it. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that so...

100 years of progressive policies...

Like the woman's vote, 40 hour week, workplace safety, civil rights, environmental protection, gay rights......

I thought we were talking economics.

Short term? How many decades was the auto industry based in and around Detroit building plants and turning out tens of millions of automobiles?

You have yet to point out how those manufacturers "used up" Detroit. The Unions forced our cars to be more expensive, leaving a huge market for lower priced moving into the market.

To be competitive, they were forced out of Detroit causing the collapse of a formerly great city.

Ford has been paying more for health insurance for their employees and families than they have been paying for steel, since 1977. Oddly enough, that system of employer group health plans, instead of single payer plans, like Medicare for all, is just peachy with the Right. But, when I hear that the Right blames the unions of the demise of American auto manufacturers, instead of on the ridiculous employer group health plan system, I marvel at the hypocrisy.

No one starts/runs a business just to hire people… Dip shit

I don't have the slightest idea of what your point is. My point is simply that the republicans, by blocking single payer health insurance, have, instead, saddled employers with the cost of health insurance, making manufacturers uncompetitive in the world market, and then blaming unions for the decline in sales of American cars.

Try to focus.

Single payer has to be paid by somebody... they will object

Single payer actually means everyone will be paying for the single higher government types getting all the healthcare and everyone else get's nothing. But you get to pay for it so maybe the term should be changed to single beneficiary.

Single payer means killing off the sick as quickly as possible. No more research into cures. That's unnecessary as the sick will be sedated until they die.

And yet that has never happened anywhere in the world. There is no single payer system on the planet that let's the average person get the same healthcare as the government official. As a matter of fact a lot of these government official's get to come to the US for treatment at their tax payers expense. Everyone paying in simply means you get to pay for something you will never receive. You're paying for anyone but you.

Once you have single payer nobody can complain. They all get the same equally shitty healthcare. Which I guess the left thinks is fair.

How the hell do you think that? Once it's single payer it's single whoever the government decides is your drug company, and they will distribute it to you on a must need basis. So yes, death panels. That's what single payer is you moron. Complete government control.

Nah, we're going to pander to the poor and promise them shit they will never get. Like equal wages to CEO salaries and universal healthcare like a king would get. None of which of course will ever happen but much like Venezuela the daughter of the king will walk away with billions in riches while you all struggle to get bread and paper to wipe your ass with.

Republicans are Cruel to The Poor because the poor have

NO RIGHT TO LIFE.

According to Lefty Logic the only Rights they have are to be Wards/Slaves of The State and then die paying taxes or die sucking up tax dollars from someone else.

Just abort the poor. Now that would be a real War On Poverty Lefty would totally be down with.
