Why I Could Never Be GOP or Libertarian

Finally poor and middle class conservatives are waking up and realizing the GOP and the rich have FUCKED THEM! No one is buying this "liberals did it to you" shit anymore. Clearly the rich have taken over. Every law passed in the last 16 years has come from ALEC and the ACA was written by corporations. How dumb are you Rustic?

The GOP planned a dynastic restoration in 2016. Instead, it triggered an internal class war. Can the party reconcile the demands of its donors with the interests of its rank and file?
The Great Republican Revolt

What does any of this have to do with libertarians?
Unregulated Free Market Capitalism would hurt the middle class. Don't think that the free market created the middle class. If it wasn't for liberals there would be no middle class.

Well Regulated Capitalism works though.

Democracy - Not "The Free Market" - Will Save America's Middle Class
 
Why I couldn't care less......see post #1.

You're probably so old and set in your ways old man.

No, I'm just sick of the extreme idiots on this board posting a bunch of BS nonsense and trying to pass it off as mainstream ideals.

Your party has been taken over by radical Ayn Rand thinking selfish people gramps. Trying to destroy the Middle Class. Came awful close too. Maybe you don't care because you are old and retired and got yours? Selfish prick. Typical righty. My point exactly. And I bet you enjoy social security and medicare, you ass. You don't realize if not for those two programs, you would die broke.

It isn't my party trying to destroy very popular programs like social security and medicare.

Think about that when you accuse us of being extreme or radical. You are in a fringe group gramps.
You keep mentioning Social Security and Medicare like its some sort of government hand out that people should consider welfare. Its not. Social Security and medicare are separate items on the taxes taken from the paycheck.
People pay into these things their entire working career to collect for what? 20 years max?
Welfare and the other government programs that the left seem to love pay out more than social security, and it is paid to people that have never contributed or paid into it.
Im not sure you have the ability to see the difference, but really, there is a big difference.



People should NOT be compelled to participate in SS nor medicare.

I agree, and there should be no safety net for those that dont, and at the same time don't provide for their own retirement.
If you were foolish while working, eat cat food under an overpass when you retire.
But regardless of that fact, SS an Medicare are specifically targeted by the money taken from the paycheck. Those programs are not supposed to be funded by the tax dollars at all.

During the Clinton Administration it was disclosed that SS funds were commingled with general revenue funds - there is NO separate account for SS and medicare those people on SS are in for a rude awakening.

I know, the money was used to cover welfare and medicaid. but, the accounting still puts it in a SS and Medicare column

The only way tax dollars are used for SS now is in repaying money borrowed from the fund.

Congressmen have used the surpluses in SS for pork to get re-elected and now when the money is needed it has to be repaid from current tax revenues.

So, yes, tax money is going to SS but only to replace money " borrowed / stolen " by Congressmen.

It isn't that most people WON'T save ... it's that they CAN'T save.

With people working two jobs and many couples both working two jobs ... those who work for low wages don't make enough to keep a roof over their heads and the family fed and clothed and put money away too.

It just can't be done.

And when they do try to put a little aside .... just about that time the car breaks down or a kid breaks their arm or something and they are right back in the hole again.

That is another good thing that unions do.

Not only do they help them get a decent wage and benefits, they usually take some money from the negotiated wage and put it in some form of retirement account etc. to help them save. If they never see the money they can't spend it no matter how much they need it.

Yes for sure there are those people. Not saying there aren't. But then there are also those people who could be putting away $5 a day or $100 a month but they don't.

The way the banks have us so screwed on interest rates it makes no sense to put money in a savings account.

Inflation runs 4% or more and the banks pay .01% on most savings accounts so if you put money in a savings account you are actually LOSING money these days.

I understand and agree with the principal you are talking about, but the banks have bought so many Congressmen to write laws that let them pay almost zero interest on saving it make no sense to put money away. You're better off spending it.

However, if they use a savings account to accumulate enough to buy stocks then you have a whole different story. But most people don't have the time or ability to study stocks and the markets and they know it so they don't even bother.

As the old saying goes " never invest in anything you have to feed or paint ". The concept of investing for retirement is great but most individuals don't have the capability to invest properly / wisely. Although investing in houses < can > be good even though you might have to paint it. That old saying was before the housing market went crazy some years back. But even so, most people don't have the expertise to make money investing in Real Estate.

Again a point for most unions because most of them have investment funds members can participate in and they hire the MBA's to run their funds for them.

Yep, we are worse than Republicans.

If you don't work for a living then you starve , a Libertarian administration will not help you.

So continue to vote demopublicans.

It's not entirely their fault. Since Reagan, Republicans have been borrowing our platform planks for their campaigns (and tossing them out once elected). And every other populist idiot wants to call themselves libertarian (usually to distract from their otherwise authoritarian ambitions).

Seriously, for anyone who thinks they could never be libertarian because of something some teabagger said - at least go to the party website and confirm your assumptions. Maybe you do get what we're all about and just don't like it. That's fine. But at least then you'll be informed. Most of what has been said in this thread is wildly off base.

To be fair, libertarians are contrary enough to be hard to fit into a box. I think a lot of the concepts are so alien to them they simply can't understand.
 
Why I can never vote GOP? Because to to them the Bush years leading up to the Great Recession were great years but Obama sucks. Yea, sure he does.

The Obama Economy Sets Another Record As Job Growth Streak Surges On


Bush had a democrat controlled congress. Obozo has a republican controlled congress. Nothing more needs to be said.
Barry's era is over, it sucked time to move on...
Much better than Bush's era but even if Obama walked on water, which he did, you'd be saying the exact same thing. We understand. It's just politics. We get it.

Economy Gained 242,000 Jobs In February; Unemployment Rate Holds Steady

Thanks Obama.

Lets not go back to the Bush era. That's what Rubio or Cruz would be.
The last 7/8 years have been lackluster at the best...
The exception is in guns and ammo sales...

:dance::dance:
Pretty good from where I'm sitting. What NO ONE wants to do is go back to GW Bush era style governing. That's why the GOP are losing their shit with Trump. LOVE IT!


It might help if you crawled out from under your rock once in a while and actually looked at the mess obozo has created in this country.

1. more racial division than ever before
2. doubled the national debt
3. more on welfare, in poverty, and on food stamps than ever before
4. more unemployed or under employed than when he took office
5. weakest military since peanut Carter
6. terrible foreign policy that has made radical islamists stronger
7. destroyed the best medical system in the world with obozocare
8. catered to the far left loons and killed thousands of jobs on Keystone
9. Lied about Benghazi, obamacare, Syria, Iran, and everything else
10. tried to rule as a king and ignore congress

just for 10 starters.
