I Am A Bigot And A Terrorist

[ChrisL]

I just wish people would be honest instead of pretending to care . . . just say what you mean. I'm a greedy fuck and I don't care about poor people. I would rather keep all of my money to myself than have one iota of it spent on those scumbags. I think instead of focusing on and attacking your fellow Americans who are less fortunate, it is time that we started to examine our tax dollars that are sent out of the country.

Please Lady. I'm in the top income tax bracket. Why is it that the folks who pay 86% of all the income tax in this country are told by those who pay no income tax at all that they are not paying their fair share? Mind Boggling.

Are you kidding? I pay taxes too, buddy. You aren't so special. Once that tax money leaves your hands, it becomes OUR money. That's right. Now, it can go to all the stupid things that lobbyists like and want, or it can go to a good cause like helping those less fortunate than you. Given the fact that there are more than 300 million people in this country (and counting), and there are not NEARLY that many jobs available, anyone with even half a brain could see that we, unfortunately, are always going to have jobless or those who are underemployed. That's life, and no one ever said it was going to be "fair." I'm sure many, many poor people would much rather be in your shoes. Perhaps you should be more grateful for what you have and think about those who have MUCH less for a change. It would be refreshing to hear from a conservative who doesn't despise the poor.

 

[ChrisL]

Thank you for your service, but so what? You can believe whatever you want to, just don't try to force other people to live by your personal belief system. It's not realistic nor feasible for some people. As I keep on saying time and time again, and I'm starting to feel like a broken record, there are more than 300 million people in this country and not nearly 300 million jobs. You should WANT to help your fellow Americans who are not as fortunate as you. It only makes our country a better place in which to live.

Please point out here where I have tried to impose my beliefs upon any of you professional victims.

Why are you anyone's "worse nightmare"? You certainly aren't anywhere NEAR sounding like my worst nightmare. Lol.

Well, from the hate expressed he

More proof you're a dumb ass .
No one can buy clothes alcohol or tobacco products and about a thousand other things with an EBT card.
Handy tip: learn something about what you are trying to talk shit about , you'll look less a dumbass.

It's done everyday in convenience stores all over. It's simply charged off to something else which gives the store owner a lot more profit. Look around you. Get your head out of your computer or wherever you have it stuck and see the real world.

In reality no its not , those cards are tracked (one of the wonders of chip technology)
Any attempt to purchase non approved items is loged in a data base and the user and store owner are fined and do jail time .
How do I know this my wife works for DPSS.
The government agency that issue's those cards .
But you go a head and swallow that regressive propaganda.

I realize you are a genius but the reality is that they just recently closed down a couple of stores locally for doing just that. They scan a milk carton, a box of cereal, etc that equals more than the cost of a pack of cigarettes and hand the guy with the card a pack of cigarettes.

So what? They are allotted a certain amount of money per month or week, however they calculate it. If the people spend their money/food stamps on something other than what they were meant for, then they aren't getting anymore money or food stamps. They go hungry or without something else that they need. There are going to be people who take advantage of EVERY system. Also, as you noted, those stores were closed down.

Yes they were but there are many more that are still doing it. The point is who is the loser. The guy paid more for the cigarettes than anyone else who had the cash would have paid. The store owner made a great profit. It was the taxpayer who got screwed again.

Many more people are helped than are harmed by social safety nets. Ask anyone who has ever NEEDED it.

 

[ChrisL]

I don't know, but if you think for a moment that we are going to do away with social safety nets and that the government is going to give you BACK your tax dollars or lower your tax rates, you are truly delusional. Lol. If you want to have a rational discussion, we should discuss where the money should be spent. What is important to you? How would you like to contribute to your country's success?

Religionists want this country to be governed according Religious Law. Known in Muslim World as Sharia Law.

My post(s) stand and yours is yet another in long line of epic fails.

You mean the founders? The ones that built the nation on Christian values you lefties are so desperate to claim had no religion? Laws have to be based upon some kind of moral base. Law is morals. Without morals you don't have law.

False learn some fucking history.
The founding fathers were mostly Deists .
That about as far from what passes as Christianity today as Atheism.

Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were Deists.

I have never understood how people can actually believe that the "Creator of the Heavens and the Earth" is so completely and totally and absolutely dedicated to just one small planet in the hell's half acre of the Milky Way Galaxy that the creator would ignore the rest of the universe.

It is Man who created a fictional Male God Head.

The U.S. has never been a "Christian Nation." One of primary founding principals of this Country is there is no Religious Test for Public Office and no State Religion. There is no form of Religious Law (aka Sharia Law) in the U.S.

The Right to Freedom of Religion is NOT the Right to force Religion down the throats of people who don't want it.

Being a "Christian" does not make a person more moral than non "Christians". Especially when all those so-called "Christians" use their version of their god as weapon against people they consider less moral than they are or believe that because they believe in a fictional god have the right to decide rights for others.

Actually I prefer to choose for myself who gets my money. Organizations such as the DAV, the American Red Cross, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, Waterfront Mission, etc. Since I'm also a hated Christian by you folks, I also support my church through its outreach efforts. The churches in my area mobilized to render aid to the victims of Ivan, Katrina, etc. But don't let me stop you from telling others what they should do.

I'm like Donald Trump in the fact that we really do have a bunch of stupid people running this country. They negotiate us right into the poor house. They don't think anything through or take a widescreen view of any thing. Take Obamacare for instance. Yes, it did provide a means of acquiring health insurance for a number of folks. It also did a whole lot of collateral damage.

Obamacare resulted in a huge increase in the rolls of Medicare, Medicaid, disability recipients, SSI recipients, EBT recipients, etc., while decreasing the total numbers of folks within the workforce. It also stymied wages for workers, shut down some small businesses, decreased small business startups, increased the rolls of persons holding part-time employment, and stymied the growth of existing businesses. Meanwhile many of those who did receive medical coverage under Obamacare cannot use their insurance because of the high deductibles placed upon them. But it's exactly what you Liberals wanted.

Actually, I have not forced my religion onto anyone on here. In fact, I have hardly mentioned it at all. In return, I have been scolded and ridiculed, called a tightwad and told what I should do with my money and my life.

I certain you would be more than willing to instruct me in how I should spend my money. That's the Liberal mindset. Have I even mentioned how I think you should spend your money. No, I haven't. It's actually none of my business.

Actually I find you amusing. Pathetic, but amusing. Where are you getting all these issues from? Out of thin air? I have mentioned none of them. As far as contributing, I would venture that I have contributed and continue to contribute. One might say I gave my right arm and part of my right shoulder as a contribution. I have paid plenty in taxes and have created jobs that support not only my own family but the families of others as well. But you continue with your mad and uninform ravings. You amuse me.

All of these are mentioned in your OP. If anyone is pathetic here, it would be yourself. Read your OP. Lol.

Now, if you don't want to discuss any of these things, what was the point of your OP??? Do you think you are intimidating or something? What? What compelled you to make such a thread?

Why are you anyone's "worse nightmare"? You certainly aren't anywhere NEAR sounding like my worst nightmare. Lol.

Well, from the hate expressed he

In reality no its not , those cards are tracked (one of the wonders of chip technology)
Any attempt to purchase non approved items is loged in a data base and the user and store owner are fined and do jail time .
How do I know this my wife works for DPSS.
The government agency that issue's those cards .
But you go a head and swallow that regressive propaganda.

I realize you are a genius but the reality is that they just recently closed down a couple of stores locally for doing just that. They scan a milk carton, a box of cereal, etc that equals more than the cost of a pack of cigarettes and hand the guy with the card a pack of cigarettes.

So what? They are allotted a certain amount of money per month or week, however they calculate it. If the people spend their money/food stamps on something other than what they were meant for, then they aren't getting anymore money or food stamps. They go hungry or without something else that they need. There are going to be people who take advantage of EVERY system. Also, as you noted, those stores were closed down.

Yes they were but there are many more that are still doing it. The point is who is the loser. The guy paid more for the cigarettes than anyone else who had the cash would have paid. The store owner made a great profit. It was the taxpayer who got screwed again.

Many more people are helped than are harmed by social safety nets. Ask anyone who has ever NEEDED it.

Who said any different? Are you on drugs?

Well then what is your point? You point out a person who bought cigarettes with his welfare money? How do you know how many actually do this? Again, do you have any supporting data to back up your statements? How is the taxpayer getting screwed? Like I told you, those people get an allotted amount of money and food stamps every month. If they spend it on something other than what it is meant for, they are the ones who are screwed, not you. You are not paying any more for that pack of cigarettes. I don't understand what your issue is, unless you just don't like the fact that some welfare recipients might abuse the system? Well, that happens with pretty much everything. There are always going to be those people who try to screw the system. Rich people do this too with tax evasion, foreign bank accounts, etc., etc. They end of trying to screw the system so that they don't have to even pay taxes.

Yes they were but there are many more that are still doing it. The point is who is the loser. The guy paid more for the cigarettes than anyone else who had the cash would have paid. The store owner made a great profit. It was the taxpayer who got screwed again.

Many more people are helped than are harmed by social safety nets. Ask anyone who has ever NEEDED it.

Who said any different? Are you on drugs?

Well then what is your point? You point out a person who bought cigarettes with his welfare money? How do you know how many actually do this? Again, do you have any supporting data to back up your statements? How is the taxpayer getting screwed? Like I told you, those people get an allotted amount of money and food stamps every month. If they spend it on something other than what it is meant for, they are the ones who are screwed, not you. You are not paying any more for that pack of cigarettes. I don't understand what your issue is, unless you just don't like the fact that some welfare recipients might abuse the system? Well, that happens with pretty much everything. There are always going to be those people who try to screw the system. Rich people do this too with tax evasion, foreign bank accounts, etc., etc. They end of trying to screw the system so that they don't have to even pay taxes.

Take a couple of Midol's and a nap.

Well, from the hate expressed he
I realize you are a genius but the reality is that they just recently closed down a couple of stores locally for doing just that. They scan a milk carton, a box of cereal, etc that equals more than the cost of a pack of cigarettes and hand the guy with the card a pack of cigarettes.

So what? They are allotted a certain amount of money per month or week, however they calculate it.

No, I don't do drugs. Are you on drugs?

Hardly. I'm not the one on here bitching about everything.
