The most important question which nobody is asking

[Moonglow]

[Q

You must not have a job or one you don't like. I have no problem finding jobs that pay well...My problem is health issues....

LOL! So you are on government disability????

Not yet, do you need a loan?

So you are planning on going on disability soon? Why not just go done and sign up for welfare now? Why wait?

I am a retired Engineer Director that is living fine on the wealth that I accumulated over a 30 year period and some inherited wealth from my hard working parents

I would be doing much better if I wasn't taxed so much by the filthy ass government and the money given away to the welfare queens. All working Americans would be better off if they were taxed less.

Which one is true. You doing good? Or not so good because of the government.

47% of our workers pay no federal taxes now. How high you want that number?

One thing for sure. If you made MOST of your money under Reagan, you could have done a lot better had you continued to invest your money.

Now you live on social security and savings/investments. Your taxes are much lower than when you worked.

But here you are. Bitching about Obama..LMAO.

47% of our workers pay no federal taxes now.

Exactly. Because idiot liberal socialism creates more poverty and more misery. Incidentally, each and every one of those 47% enjoy all of the same "benefits" that I do from the government (military defense, court systems, etc,) plus a ton I don't (healthcare, food, etc.). Why don't they have to pay their "FAIR SHARE"?!? Half of America just gets a free ride - enjoying everything America has to offer while the other half of us has to carry their asses?

Ridiculous.

 

[P@triot]

Why not have a combination of private and government support of the needy?
That is what we have been doing for 70 years

Why not have a combination of voluntary and coerced support for the needy? Um...because it's not right to coerce one's fellow man?

Who is being coerced?

You vote don't ya?

So if liberals vote that it's ok to rape women (as they most certainly will some day), that won't be coercion in your mind? Women will just be having good sex (against their will) because they had a vote and they lost?

It's just a bad day for you in the USA..

We have had a lot of bad days since Obama was elected.

That means you must be an inbred racist.

That means you must be an inbred racist since color is all you see in every response, every post, every policy.

I am going to educate you. For free.

Gerald Ford and your hero Ronnie Reagan are the reason so many pay no federal income tax.

The program called the EITC was brought to us by Ford and GREATLY expanded by Reagan. Reagan loved that program. Said it was the greatest in lifting the working poor out of poverty.

You disagree with Reagan now?

You got a mouse in your pocket?

Me and mine, we have done very well under Obama. Sorry about your lack of drive to succeed. Must suck to be a.republican loser.

You must be on welfare then.

Most Americans have not done all that well.

The poverty rate in this country has increased under Obama. More poor people than ever.

The welfare rolls have increased under Obama.

The workforce participation rate is at a 40 year low.

The gap between the rich and the poor is greater under Obama.

Obama has increased the Federal debt more than all other Presidents in the history of the Republic combined.

The cost of this filthy ass Federal government is $4 trillion a year, which is more than the GDP of all but three other countries on the face of the earth.

Family income has decreased under Obama.

The economic growth under Obama is dismal. He is the first President in the history of the Republic that did not achieve a 3% GDP increase.

If you are doing well it must be because you are one of Obama's welfare queens or an illegal alien. They two groups have done really well.

Massive misrepresentation of fact!

The earned income tax credit sets marginal tax rates?


And here I thought it was the Clinton tax act of 1993 that raised the marginal floor by 33%

So Willlllbbbbuuuurrrr, were you born stupid, or did you need years of study at the Soros hate sites to achieve your prowess?

Ha! Nice try. But how is Ronald Reagan responsible for Obama and the Democrats destroying the economy? If those people were gainfully employed (as they should be), they would need earned income tax credits.

So I'm not really seeing any liberals stepping forward and advocating for implementing all liberalism through private foundations and restoring constitutional government. Can we all agree that liberalism has nothing to do with compassion for people? Maybe we can all get real about modern-day liberalism and have more honest discussions/debates on USMB?

So how do the political science scholars and historians define liberalism, in this day and age?

Liberalism is the political philosophy of helping the needy, conservatives, not so much, but they play along for votes.....Not for good points with Gawd..
