Why do Republicans think the purpose of government is to turn a profit?

[Ernie S.]

They don't believe that.

They believe there is no purpose.

No food inspectors.

No speed limits.

No laws except to keep women from getting an abortion.

No safety regulations.

They want to abolish the EPA.

Let him die.

No Social Security.

No Medicare.

No help for the poor.

If they elect people into office that believe these things, then they must believe it to.

They do believe in subsidies for corporations. And apologies. Because corporations are people. Do we need links?

And you apparently believe and repeat anything you hear.

I believe what I hear from the Republican leadership. Is that so bad?

Bachmann said that as president, she plans to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, or as she calls it, the “job killing agency.”

Why do you guys always say I'm making this stuff up? You sit in front of the Internet. You can read the same things I read. You can watch the Republican leadership saying the things I said they are saying.

And it doesn't even need to be edited like the GOP does with "you didn't build that".

Michell Bachman didn't get the GOP nomination, did she?
I do support scrapping the EPA. At its inception, there was a need for some environmental regulations.
I don't believe, however, that EPA should have become a Cabinet level department and I can't see the sense in prohibiting land owners from using their property because someone finds a rare snail or some rodent.
EPA has way too much power and needs Congressional oversight.
Keep it if you must, but subject every regulation to Congressional vote as if it were new legislation.
When I lived in Connecticut, there was a stream bordering my property. A strip mall 1/2 mile away dammed it up for more parking, turning 1/2 acre of my land into a swamp. I bitched to the city for relief and not only did they do nothing to return my land to usable condition, they designated the swamp "wetlands" and forbade me from any drainage project or even excavation to turn the swamp into an attractive pond.
I, in effect, lost 1/3 of my land and thousands of dollars in real estate value to the EPA. Fuck 'em!

No, so when did republicans say they wanted no government (which we call anarchy, because we think it's a bad thing)

Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub.

[rdean]

This guy gets owned and owned....I mean he calls us facists and anarchists....so which one is it????????? I've argued with Starkey and Saigon over this point......they say liberals never call us anarchists....well rdean just did......game, set, match!

Fascists when it comes to Civil Right.

But not anarchist. Plutocrats with a touch of Christian Taliban. Does it really need to be explained?

guess you thinking using big words on the internt makes you look smart? guess what it makes you look like a jack ass.... just saying....

I suspect I know what you think a "big word" is:

Good for her, she would be a better potus then the dipshit we have now.

You're talking about former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, right?

The same.
Though Marion Barry would be a better President than the current resident of 1600 PA Ave.

The epa fines home owners for not doing as they are told

Then when the the owners win in court, the epa ignores the court orders and ups the fines.

the epa does need to be pulled apart and then rebuilt with harsh limits in place

Disagreeing with a policy is not making a prediction.

But feel free to find a quote saying that the government should turn a profit.

the other half of the equation, my uneducated little Socialist waif, is that spending cuts, and I mean deep cuts AND eliminating unconstitutional program-type cuts, need to be implemented. politics be damned. The Federal government has its slimy tentacles in areas it clearly does not belong. And here's a shocker for you. This is both Social and Corporate welfare that needs to be severely curtailed.

you fools on the left claim that raising taxes will help businesses, when has that ever worked?

to the OP, balancing the budget or having a surplus is not "turning a profit". We are 17 trillion dollars in debt, why not run a surplus and use it to pay down the debt?
