Rep. Keith Ellison - There's Plenty of Money and 'Government Has a Right' To It

[Clementine]

Fucking Marxist thinks that government needs to simply take more money from people, as if they have a right to anything and everything we earned. I honestly think that some believe all the wealth rightfully belongs to the government and they act as if they have been way too kind by letting some people live well off their earnings. Never mind that government does not create wealth, they simply confiscate, redistribute and waste money.

I have a question for liberals, though I rarely get answers. Do you approve of Obama delaying the implementation of Obamacare for the wealthiest companies? Congress, the IRS and unions want exempt because of the high cost. The polls show a majority of people don't want it, yet Obama gave a pass to large companies. Is this an admission that the wealthiest companies are job creators or was it just a nod to his campaign supporters?

You missed few recent threads here.

yes, they feel like they have the right to confiscate your money.

and thy are getting aggressive.

 

[OriginalShroom]

It is the Liberal mindset.

It's all their money and they will let you have what they know you need to live on.

 

[Moonglow]

I live in a republican led state, county and by a city run by repubs, they too have increased taxes. Where is a place that any repubs have reduced taxes lately?

it's a communist/socialist ( in the original meaning) mindset.

you can also call it Marxist.

Liberals ( the native ones) usually are quite to the opposite.

p.s. I know, I know, everything is mixed up in American terminology

Before any think that this is new from the Left.....


The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor:

“[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”




Before Emperor Franklin the First, the citizen was entitled to liberty and property.

Since FDR....the rights of the collective is what matters.

 

[Moonglow]

yes indeed no republican has ever raised taxes.
I believe Lincoln was the first to use the income tax.
But according to the myopic Polichic and her FDR obsession only that communist did everything bad to the USA.

 

[Londoner]

Where was the OP when Bush made the most expensive expansion of Medicare since the program's inception?

Where was the OP when Eli Lilly was awarded a no-bid contract under the 2003 Republican drug bill, virtually locking taxpayer into above market costs for drugs.

He was trapped inside a rightwing media bubble which never draws attention to what his own party is doing.

ObamaCare is a typical screw the poor /feed the rich program. It forces workers to pay into monopolized health care with the world's most inflated premiums.

Washington is owned by the private sector, which staffs government through its funding of elections. The OP has been convinced by his political party that we still live in Ayn Rand's world where Stalin steals the family pharmacy. Here is what the OP doesn't know. The pharmaceutical now owns government. Big business - the pinnacle of capitalism - now wields the concentrated power of government.

This why Eli Lilly basically wrote the 2003 Drug Bill. This is why Chaney's famous energy commission, which convened on the eve of the Iraq war, wrote the Bush energy policy.

Big Business and Big Government have merged, and the OP has been fooled into carrying their water.

Communism is when the people collectively own the modes of production. Monopoly capitalism is when business owns government. The fact that the OP doesn't understand which system we're living in is why we are so fucked.

You've got me wrong, drop-draws.....
...my obsession is research.



Now for another of your misperceptions:
It's about policies, not taxes.
The great Ronald Reagan raised taxes....

...but he saved the world from communisn, and....


...get ready....


increased the wealth of every American!



Proof?
Sure:
1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion

Love that decimal point!


3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

Now...FDR may or may not have been communist....
...but his policies sure were....are.

Government is addicted to OPM.
A big problem with the republicans is that they have become democrat-lite.

Corporations are addicted to OPM, which they get through lobbying.

The point of big business is to get subsidies, bailouts .... and military protection for their overseas supply chains.

When a crisis happens, government bails out the wealthy (TARP) and forecloses on the poor.

FOX NEWS has it backwards... because they are owned by the same big money that owns government.

 

[blackhawk]

The more money government controls the more control they have over the population people should think about that.

So what you're saying is "two wrongs make a right"

If you can't give an answer other than "your side does it too", just shut the fuck up and don't give an answer at all then. You're basically admitting your side is wrong but in an irritating and immature way.

By the way - Bush cut taxes you fuck'n buffoon. A little fact that you 'lil libtard bitches haven't stopped crying about for a decade now...

 

[P@triot]

Not at all - there were plenty of asshole libtards who did awful things to the U.S.: Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama just to name a few.

 

[P@triot]

Communism is when the people collectively own the modes of production.

Really? So the people of Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union owned the "production"? And I suppose you believe the people of Fidel Castro's Cuba own the "production"?

I love freedom of speech. But if there is one downside to it, it's that people this ignorant can open their mouths and spread misinformation.

(Hint ass-wipe: in communism, the people own nothing - it all belongs to the government run by a dictator).

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Communists only have to announce that they've completed their takeover of the Democrat Party

This Muslim Marxist has been taking some Stupid Pills in between his Allah worshipping sessions.

I'm sure his GOP opponent will be playing this again and again next year.

 

[Mojo2]

Strangely, I came upon this thread after doing a search for threads and posts using, "Keith Richards" for a search term.

Today's his birthday.

Anyway...

Keith Ellison is a Muslim.

He took his Senatorial oath of office on a Koran.

He is a sign of the creeping Jihad quietly making inroads into the society forcing us all to adjust to having a cancerous and dangerous ideology in our midsts and not do anything about it.

Imagine having a cancer diagnosis in your body and then being told you must ignore it as it eats away at your health.

That's what it boils down to.

He wants anything that will help bring America down.

He knows what the Koran calls for.

And he is down with that.

Imagine a Neo Nazi or a white supremacist like David Duke* taking his oath of office on a copy of Mein Kampf!

Well, Ellison's oath on a Koran is the same difference.

He is helping to compel America to welcome an ideology that is openly hostile and antagonistic to Democracy.

If a bunch of Communists proposed a measure that would help bring down America he knows that it would also aid his own Islamic agenda of an eventual global Caliphate and Islam being made dominant over all other governments and religions on Earth. Therefore, it isn't surprising he would sound like a Communist. He seems like the kind of guy who would do whatever necessary to bring Islamic values to American politics. And if that means siding with all sorts of malcontents and unsavory anti-Americans, I believe he would sound and appear to be of that attitude and philosophy to help lay another whack on the USA.

He is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Here's a clue to his real sentiments.

I had begun to really look around and ask myself about the social circumstances of the country, issues of justice, issues of change. When I looked at my spiritual life, and I looked at what might inform social change, justice in society... I found Islam."[10][11][12]

Keith Ellison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One doesn't look to any other religion for "justice" and "social change" because no other religion is enforced today as laws and political systems.

The only one that is?

Islam.
