3 stupid myths republicans believe

[KevinWestern]

1) Tax cuts pay for themselves.

Well the argument I make is that the only way you're going to cut out the waste is to cut funding. It sucks we're at that point, but when it comes to the government it's really easy to expand and infinitely difficult to contract. Some people would rather have the businesses keep those tax $'s as they will usually do something with it that will directly impact the community in a positive way vs. shipping it to an overblown, bureaucratic Fed Gov't that spends $650,000,00 on a website that doesn't work and $90,000,000 on accenture to fix it, lol.

Liberals are socialists/communists

Agree, but I think the size of our Federal Government, and the level of control it has on businesses/people is becoming concerning. What's also concerning is that many Americans are perfectly OK with this. We need to get better at taking care of ourselves, and not always relying on the Gov't to come ot the rescue. The government ISN'T the solution for everything in our lives.

The wealthy are not too wealthy.

Start by working to end crony capitalism, that will help. But many of the "solutions" proposed by left-leaning people will do more damage than good (ie increase taxes, more regulations, etc).

Contraception leads to abortion

Who said that? lol

Paying people less makes them richer

Well, I thought about this for a bit, and I think this is an interesting statement.

What happens if the government tells McDonalds that they need to pay each employee $15, and as a response McDonalds lays off 1/3 of it's workforce and replaces them with machines to save money?

Or what happens if the government forces a company to pay all their factory workers $15, and can no longer sell the product at a competitive price and the company goes out of business, or moves to China?

Are the workers who are laid off "richer" in either of those scenarios? We must consider all sides of the argument here..

Gay marriage devalues hetero marriage

I support gay marriage and the right to individual choice.

I'd be shocked if you ever had 3,000; lifetime.
Sarah does what she is intended to do...drive you brainless kooks crazy. Seriously, you guys can't help yourself.

For the record, her petitioning Congress to have her insurance plan cover contraceptives didn't cost you a dime and never will. This was a lie created by talk radio and shitted into the trough you guys eat from every day.

Oh? Won't cost us a dime.
Before I get to my questions....The fact that she got in front of Congress with a personal problem that SHE should have solved on her own, is a mystery.
The fact that you and only you seem to think this self entitled hussie had any gravitas. The proof is in that she got her 15 seconds of fame and has been long forgotten. So much so, that you even forgot her name. You referred to her as "Sarah".....

Goes to show that you think more about her than I do. I love it!!!


It won't cost you a thing skippy.


Insurance premiums cover the cost. The ones she pays/paid. Fuck you're stupid.


Her life is not my avatar. But as long as the avatar causes grief and gets you guys to expose your deep seated hatred for women...it's working beautifully.

Remember. No one else even cares a lick about this parasite. Only you. Nobody cares.
You must lead a very shallow life if you feel the need to channel your very existence through another person.

You bring her up in every post skippy.

Ok, I'm off to go and objectify a few women. Maybe I will make some sexist remarks. Let a door slam in a woman's face. Steal a cab from some woman who's been waiting longer than I....

Why should today be any different?

If the insurance companies are forced to subsidize birth control, and it will be subsidized, that cost will be passed along to all insureds just as all other mandates are passed along.
I think about who? Are you not the one with that suck starter of Chevrolets in YOUR avatar?
The avatar tome is a sad commentary on your undying worship for a private individual whose notoriety was " I have a lot of unprotected sex"...God help you if you have daughters.
Today ISN'T any different.
Oh, I was at the grocery store today and took a lady's shopping cart when she turned her back.

One of their biggest myths is that if you don't spend any money, you can pay down debt.

Every businessman knows that it takes money to make money. How did Republicans miss that lesson. I guess their economic policy is just as good as their foreign policy and their understanding of science.

LOL...what every businessperson "knows" is that you can't continually spend more than you take in and stay in business for very long. That's a lesson that people in government haven't quite grasped yet because THEY get to run deficits and simply print money to pay their debts.

And why you think liberals excel at foreign policy is a mystery to me, little buddy...God knows that Barack Obama doesn't have a clue what he's doing on that subject. "Leading from behind?" Seriously?

And here we have an example of the aforementioned conservative myth that the Federal government’s budget functions like the budget of a private business or household.

Amazing.

Using your "logic" and I use the term with it's broadest possible definition....you've been paying (personally..giggle) for medicines that everybody needs through elective means. A guy breaks his leg mountain climbing and needs morphine; a lady breaks her leg windsurfing and needs some Motrin 600mg... you think you're paying for it.
But you only have a problem paying for contraception because it's a woman's issue. Your being a sexist is fine...that is your right and your idiocy but the facts are that you've been paying (again, using your "logic") for others' medication for your entire life.

I think about who?

Sandra Fluke, apparently. You keep bringing her up to tell us you don't think about her.
Calling you "shit brains" does a dis-service. There are no brains between your ears.

Are you not the one with that suck starter of Chevrolets in YOUR avatar?

No.

The avatar tome is a sad commentary on your undying worship for a private individual whose notoriety was " I have a lot of unprotected sex"...God help you if you have daughters.

Worship?

I wrote this in another thread where i bitch-slapped your ass.

Now that I can agree with. If I ever met Ms. Fluke, I probably would find her annoying. Single issue people are often annoying and she looks to be one of them.

And another one:

Yeah, Sandra will probably be a 6 figure attorney for the next 30-40 years. I've stated several times that if I knew Ms. Fluke, I'd probably find her annoying...single issue people (as she seems to be) rub me the wrong way but I'm sure she'll have a fantastic career; sort of like Gloria Allred (sp?).

Today ISN'T any different.

Wouldn't surprise me. Basically most conservatives are small minded prostitutes for their well compensated thought leaders.

It should.
government policy requires all money for each department is spent right down to the last penny. If not, the department not using 100% of funding will have its budget reduced by the amount left over.
In government, nothing is ever saved for a rainy day.
Because most governments create budgets for the next fiscal year it is imperative the numbers for the next year's projected revenue be available.
Now here's the problem, if revenue falls short of projections, a budget deficit is created.
Then government must borrow to make up the immediate shortfall which in turn created even more debt. The system is broken. In fact it never worked correctly in the first place.
Now if government were operated like a business, there would first be an incentive to find ways to reduce expenses. Items such as consumables would be stockpiled and saved for instances where excess would be needed. Instead of going through multiple levels of purchasing procedures say if an office computer craps out, someone could simply order a new computer from an online seller of course after finding one at the lowest price possible.
A few years ago when the Chicago Air Traffic Center's computer system went down one supervisor anonymously quoted that he could go to a computer store and buy a desk top that had more computing power than the old mainframe they had at the center.
But of course the federal government does not work like that. Logic and reason are prohibited in government. That might cost workers their jobs.

Hey dummy...Contraception is the responsibility of BOTH parties. Not just the woman.
Very arrogant of you to think that.
Umm the only bitch around here is.....not you. You don't rise to the level of bitch.
You are just a malcontent who thinks the world is out to get them.

 

[hazlnut]

1) Tax cuts pay for themselves.

Wrong. Every dollar lost in revenue is one more dollar the government needs to borrow to pay their bills. It's so obnoxious when repubs complain of gov spending yet are too ignorant to realize tax cutting leads to more borrowing. You think over spending is the only reason for our debt? No, it is also because of Bush's tax cuts.

2) Liberals are socialists/communists

Also wrong. We are talking about fundamental definitions of words here. Saying liberals are socialists is just as stupid as saying conservatives are liberals.

3) The wealthy are not too wealthy.

95% of income gains have gone to the top 5% of earners despite the fact that the lower classes are responsible for most of the productivity. In fact, productivity has grown exponentially in the lower classes since the 30s yet wages have remained flat.

Only five?

They think you can ban abortions and cut food stamps simultaneously and not have any problems like a massive crime wave down the road.

It's OBVIOUS that the Federal Government's budget DOESN'T function like the budget of a private business or household...that is the reason why we are trillions in debt. What's ridiculous is the liberal notion that debt isn't a problem...

 

[Billy000]

1 ) Please explain why revenue went up after JFK's and Reagan's tax cuts.

It's the Spending that causes debt you dolt.

2 ) Today's liberals are socialists and Communists. They simply won't admit it.

3 ) So you are one of those idiots who think that, like the bitcoin, there is a finite amount of money and if I have dollar, that keeps you from getting one also.

You really are a simpleton, aren't you?

How about you explain why job growth under Bush was so pathetic despite being responsible for the biggest tax cut in US history. I would say other factors were at play during the time periods you gave. What is with all this talk about finite money? No shit it is finite. My point is that people should be paid fairly regardless of whether or not it affects the pay of the bigwigs.

And yet you can't even explain the definition of a liberal. How about you give me an objective definition.

Easy.....for most of Bush's tenure the unemployment was minimal. Between 4-5%, of those 4-5% would be the people who weren't going to work for whatever reason. So basically the US was nearly at full employment. It wasn't until the democrats took over the Senate and Congress did unemployment start to rise in 2007.
I hope this helps you.

Um no the unemployment rate got as high as 6% and either way it is completely retarded to say most of that 6% didn't want to work. Either way, if tax cuts were so effective, and given the size of the cuts, why didn't the unemployment rate even budge dramatically during his tenure? It didn't. Also, you fail to account for the 2.3 million jobs lost in his final months.

It is completely retarded to blame dems for the crash. If that were the case, why is it that 2.5x more private jobs were created in Obama's 5 than in Bush's 8?

Republican leaders don't believe this crap. It's just the nazi style propaganda they use to bullshit the ignorant. It's mind boggling that the GOP has 33% of this country that is that stupid. What's worse, is half of that 33% are poverty stricken in those red states. That's like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

If you're not in the top 10% richest, you are a moron for voting republican. The GOP wants the poor and middle class to pay off their $12 trillion deficit spending that Raygun and the Shrubs ran up with their war mongering.

Whew get over that hangover

Yeah, the cons are really hoping voters don't see who the real deficit spenders are. They are counting on the poor and middle class to pay off the national debt. Cons need stupid voters to get them elected. And the stupid southerners pull the red lever. Bigots are such morons.

 

[Wildman]

the TRUTH about unemployment !!

In a memo to clients provided to Secrets, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of those not working at a sky-high 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government.

Marotta, who recently advised those worried about an imploding economy to get a gun, said that the government isn't being honest in how it calculates those out of the workforce or inflation, the two numbers used to get the Misery Index figure.

Be prepared: Wall Street adviser recommends guns, ammo for protection in collapse | WashingtonExaminer.com

A top financial advisor, worried that Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and spiraling national debt is increasing the chances for a fiscal and social disaster, is recommending that Americans prepare a “bug-out bag” that includes food, a gun and ammo to help them stay alive.

David John Marotta, a Wall Street expert and financial advisor and Forbes contributor, said in a note to investors, “Firearms are the last item on the list, but they are on the list. There are some terrible people in this world. And you are safer when your trusted neighbors have firearms.”

any logical, reasonable, honest questions from you libertards ??

How can you expect to have a debate when the Left spends so much time LYING TO THEMSELVES?

Matthew implies that cutting food stamps will lead to a massive crime wave; and of course the implication is that mean ol Republicans are or will be responsible.

what idiotic STUPIDITY
we currently have RECORD WELFARE AND FOOD STAMPS.
...at a time when Democrats are bragging they created 7 MILLION NEW JOBS; and something like 50 months of "consecutive job growth".
all Republicans are asking is for food stamps to be scaled back from their CURREN EMERGENCY LEVEL FUNDINGS set at the end of the Bush years the Left loves to remind people when so many jobs were being lost; and how things are supposedly SOOOO much better now. but the Left is incapable of honest debate; so they portray it as mean ol Republicans trying to starve people. what idiots libs are; this kind of politics first rhetoric doesnt serve ANYBODY well except the PANDERING JACKAZZ PARTY.

lbis are losers who lie to themselves

so how you liking that change now?
