So you want to live in a commune and not get paid for work? or you just don't want to work?Listening to everything the GOP and Libertarians have to say, I have to say I viamently disagree with the direction they want to take America. They are a very selfish group.
Paul Ryan, the father of a Republican budget initiative that seeks to destroy Medicare and Social Security has continually invoked the name of Ayn Rand as his philosophical mentor and guide. Many other Republicans have do so too. They are embracing a philosophy which, according to Ayn Rand herself, is one of selfishness and is against all forms of Spirituality. The question any thoughtful Americans must ask themselves is: Is this the America we want?
And how do they get evangelicals to go along with them is beyond me.
Its a very selfish every man for himself mentality.
And Libertarians don't believe in the Commons. What are the Commons?
The Commons are resources that are owned by all of us. That includes the Grand Canyon, oil rights, power companies, roads, public airwaves, schools, etc.
Here is how they think. Libertarians think if we all own the land on which our sheep graze, we will each add one too many sheep until we destroy the land for future generations. That We the People can't manage the commons.
Libertarians think that if one person owns the land and charged everyone else grazing fees, he would be more committed to preserving it for the future than a village of farmers.
I disagree.
Liberals want to control everyone and you call us selfish....wow.
How can we ever trust or believe Republicans? For years they defended the Bush’s. But now, all of the sudden Republicans are voting for a person that the former Republican presidents won’t endorse. Are Republicans essentially admitting that liberals were right all these years? I think so. Because look at Trumps Tariffs. That’s liberal. And last night Trump said black communities need more cops not less. We’ve been saying that for years! And it was Republican governors who slashed budgets so that places like Detroit had to cut cops, firefighters and city employees & services. Under GOP Governor Rick Snyder's budget if you called 911 in Detroit it took 4 hours for a cop to show up if they even showed up at all. Watch 1 minute in.
What a bunch of disingenuous fucks Republicans are. But I don’t think they even realize they are this ignorant. They aren’t just being intellectually dishonest with us. They are being intellectually dishonest with themselves.
But thanks for finally admitting us liberals are right. The Bush’s agree with us that Trump should not be president and Trump agrees with us that inner cities need more cops. Apparently the way to win over voters is to agree with us. Go figure.
It really bothers me that Republicans are allowed to defend Bush for 8 years and then now try to distance themselves from him. At what point did they stop defending Bush? When was that moment? Republicans are just like Trump. They will never admit they are wrong. But their actions speak louder than their words.
so you have to ask yourself, who runs the Detroit police department, the Mayor or the Governor. I know this is a trick question for you. But think really really hard. I'd like your answer please.
Edit: and where does the money come from for their salaries? The state, or local? Who negotiates with the unions for those salaries, the state or the city?
Mayor Mike Duggan would love to hire more cops if he had the money.
Oh, so you think paying cops less means you can hire more cops? Here's a trick question. You are out of your fucking mind?
P.S. I wish all cops could see your post. Most cops don't give a shit about other unions because they think their union is the one union that is off limits. I wish they knew that you would like to cut their salaries. I wish they knew you Republicans believe even they are making too much. You think even cops are TAKERS!!!
BTW skinney, when did I say anything about what the salaries were? I asked who negotiated them. it's now obvious you can't read either.
