Texas : "Socialism save meeeeeee!"

[idb]

Most Dem voters have very limited reasoning power. They are motivated by their hate and fueled by their ignorance. Every time that there is a natural disaster they slither out from under their rocks and start ridiculing the victims.

Should we eliminate FEMA type programs ? Simple yes/ no question .

Why won't any of you answer ?

Timmy, most Democrat voters are angry left wing bigots like you. FEMA is used to help people during natural disasters. No one is against helping people during natural disasters.

Friday, Congress finally approved a $9.7 billion package to pay flood insurance claims from Hurricane Sandy. The measure was supposed to come to a vote earlier in the week, but was tabled by House Speaker John Boehner, drawing much criticism from both Democrats and his fellow Republicans alike.

The measure passed unanimously through the Senate, but 67 members of the House of Representatives voted "no" to assisting people who were left, at best, powerless or homeless by a hurricane in November. All 67 are Republicans:

• Justin Amash (R-MI)

Here Are the Republicans Who Voted 'No' on Hurricane Sandy Relief Funds

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Oh, so if you've ever paid taxes , using a welfare program is OK. Glad we agree !

Keep missing that point. It's just right over your head.

You blew that point because 50% of Americans do NOT pay taxes. In fact, some actually get a refund even if they paid ZERO!!! (EIC).

 

[francoHFW]

Texas has the resources to not need the feds. Looks to me from reading this forum all liberals do is cry about things and lie.

Now that would be a first!

like I said....

ONE Lib lie? As opposed to nonstop GOP ones, dupe...

Wrong, superdupe. That's total GOP BS propaganda, and refers only to Fed income taxes. If you count ALL taxes and fees, everyone pays 18-30%, and the richest pay less than much of the middle class on average.

Yes. In this situation and with all federal social programs, federal taxes are at issue, which 50% of the people do not pay. Don't mix federal welfare issues with state and local tax issues.

Dude...

That is one hell of a Texas-sized strawman you just threw into Harvey's path.

Only the most extreme anarco-libertarians would argue that protecting citizens from natural disasters is not a proper function of government. The very purpose of the U.S. government was for protection of its citizens from military invasions of foreign powers.

Courts
Military
Highways
Power Lines and Utility infatructure
Police
Fire protection
Disaster Relief

All of these services are proper functions of government in the minds of people much more libertarian than I am. Your huge strawman is either poor trolling or you have failed to understand the argument against socialism.

Let me know which before I waste time responding any further.

"Disaster relief" is also known as "catastrophic insurance."

IOW, you think that the government should be involved in insuring its citizens from catastrophe and death.

So how's that any different than health insurance, which is also insurance from catastrophe and death?

If the government should be in the business of insuring citizens against catastrophe and death, shouldn't it be insuring against all catastrophe and death?

And if not, why?

With hurricane Harvey being sent by God to
Punish the right wing state of Texas , FEMA is already in position to help.

I say stop! We don't want to offend our anti socialist Texans now do we . Obviously they can take care of themselves . If they don't have flood insurance , well that's personal responsibility now is it?

FEMA sending supplies to South Texas ahead of Harvey: NBC Dallas-Fort Worth

I may be flooded in for a few days, will likely lose power for a week or so, I don't need a damn thing from the government. Just send that crap on down to the folks that voted for the bitch.

"Disaster relief" is also known as "catastrophic insurance."

We have differing opinions on what constitutes, and the nature of, disaster relief.

I have worked for and with Lloyd's syndicates and have seen just about every type of catastrophic insurance known to man. NEVER have I seen an insurance policy with individual people that covers and provides immediate, first-response,emergency water, food, and shelter. In fact, I know of no insurance coverage that requires much immediate action at all. Catastrophic Insurance deals with costs after the fact. Disaster Relief provided by FEMA is akin to EMT/Fire/police/military response.

Nobody wants to touch the "military is socialism" argument. Why not go there too?

Who are you kidding . Texas will be begging for fed funds in a hot minute .

You righties post anti socialism threads 24/7 . What am I lying about . Socialist programs like FEMA are just the type of thing you want to eliminate .

Y'all talk big , but when push comes to shove you'll have your welfare hand out for help.

This is the best thread of the day lol.

I was without power for 16 days after Ike, had many trees blown down. I ran 2 generators 24/7 to run refrigeration, the well, the RV for the wife and mother in law so they had AC and took care of the downed trees myself. I'm in better shape now, I have a propane whole home generator and unless a tornado spawned by the storm destroys my house, I'm good to go. If that happens I have good insurance no need for uncle sugar, it's called being prepared.

Of course they're closely attached, Reaganism has raised state and local taxes, which hit the nonrich, to make up for less Fed Aid. DUHHHH> Count all TAXES! That's how the rich have been getting all the new wealth for years and the country falls apart. All for the rich, GOP dupe. Change the GD channel...

Luckily, we're a civilized, united, intelligent socialist (with ACA) country that help the unfortunate. Not everyone has an RV etc. Just the basics for help.

TX has a multi-billion dollar rainy day fund, that should be exhausted first. It's a State responsibility. I guess you regressives don't think the State should be responsible for its people, even though the founders said that's exactly how it should be.

As if any more proof were needed that libs are vile.

Why am I vile? Just describing what cons want . I'm all for helping fellow Americans . It's the "vile " republicans who don't want to help .

I bet you feel sorry for all the n!ggers who are going to be flooded out due to the storm while all us white people will be high and dry.

You're wrong. You live in Texas and you don't even know what's going on there? "Sad."

Oh yeah, the governor of Texas declared a statewide disaster already. He's ready for the federal funds to roll in now.

They always hate big government right up until it is the only thing that can't save their hypocritical asses.

What part are you not grasping Texans pay federal income taxes? LOTS of taxes

That's for bullets and bibles, not things people actually need.

Where do you think your gas comes from cum dumpster?
