One thing to also note is that the logic you describe above couldn’t be more ass backwards than it is. It’s deranged the way poor Republicans are most scared of how much the government is going to help or hurt them when they’re rich. Wouldn’t someone who’s rationale be more worried about how the government is going to help them when they’re poor?
you equate having money with being republican and totally dismiss what republican actually stands for which is a less governed nation state. you've been brainwashed!
Yeah that’s what Republicans say that stand for but it’s far from what their actual policy translates to.
you can claim this all day while your progressives don't make much of a stink over 3 dudes in virginia, a dude in minnesota, an anti-semite in minnesota, another anti-semite in michigan, etc... so ing progressive and sticking to their mantras.
I'm all for the governing. When I walk into your tattoo shop, I want to be secure in knowing your shop meets all health code standards. You're doing good on that front, my friend. My experience was wonderful, especially love the cream you use!
How are more taxes more "governing?" Do you think roads, infrastructure, public services, and the military run on charitable donations? How about building codes? I'm sure when you leased your shop's location, you wanted to see all the paperwork that confirmed you're not going to be doing business in place that has structural integrity issues. Libertarianism only works assuming a populace of ethical and rational actors. That's not the case.
Thanks! I never knew who said it. Read it in forum some long time ago.
def more governing if you're wanting more from my pocket. we all pay plenty of taxes as it is yet we have so many stupid ing social programs and other bs programs eating them up. get rid of the bs and there'd be no need to tax heavy.
The military eats up far more tax dollars than social safety net programs. Social safety net programs can actually be a boon because they give the lower classes more purchasing power. I know it's aggravating standing in line behind a person with 8 kids whipping out their EBT card to pay, but the fact is most people on welfare are indeed working poor and not just baby making free loaders.
if they got 8 kids and have an ebt card then they are ing freeloaders indeed!
as well we need a strong military presence and less welfare lazy s.
btw, i am also talking about all the attention s these days with their bi-polar bs on government assistance. i know a dude who lives in stone oak and is living it up yet he dons a ebt card when he wants to go all out for a bbq or whatever. that has got to stop! people like him!
Do we need it in Europe where they have more than a competent defense? Did we need the Iraq and Afghanistan snafus that costed us trillions? Do we need 800 bases around the world, often in countries that have a capable defense?
i believe you brought up valid points indeed. i believe we need a strong military that is well funded; however, i don't believe we need to police the world, help protect other countries even if they pay us, nor go into bs wars. those are all wasted dollars indeed.
i don't know about you but i'd rather keep most of my hard earned cash in my pockets and out of the hands of bigBrother. i am also of the thinking that there's taxes i shouldn't have to pay like school taxes; those kids they aren't mine!
Dude I post stuff here from cnn also
Hi ducks.
I think most rich people would not have a problem paying down the debt if congress passed a law they can not spend more then what comes in
I want to take care of my family with my money then pay the gov more in taxes
You can call it greed i call it being a responsibly father and husband
lmao because i chose, and i hope it stays this way, never to have kids that it's beneficial that i pay taxes for their schools & more. out of here with that bs especially with the educations kids get today as it is from pre-k out of college.
you claim i'm the low-level thinker here while you throw insults that don't back up your claims. either way, don't you got some kids to feed? go break that ebt card in.
ps: i got tattoos. i got a ton of them too. how about a new name? torso tats.... full legs tats... full sleeve tats... something new? it's been yrs and yall still think yall are clever. nerds in their nerd group online. lmao
are you under the guise that i'm awkward as only to you because you're a ing weirdo to begin with? lmao tattoos make you awkward. last time i gave a what a bunch of gots like yourself thought on a msgboard or in real life was never.
btw, a nerd like yourself calling anyone awkward is too much.
lmao you're another like the rest. i know your kind.
This is simply not true. I agree we spend more on the military than we should but military spending is much less than SS, Medicare, Medicaid, EBT, ETC.
Doesnt really matter. At the rate we are going interest will eventually eat the rest of the budget anyway.
3.0 percent of GDP vs.10% of GDP in 2017, for anyone who cares to know. I wonder how much of the defense budget gets spent abroad and amounts to defacto foreign aid.
Do we really need military bases in 70 countries and troops in another 80?
Non-discretionary social net spending at least gets spent in the USA.
