45338. concerned - 11/24/2012 5:38:59 AM Not with 5% unemployment until late 2008, it wasn't. Face it, for the first time since the Great Depression, burger flipping is now beginning to look like a desirable occupation to many, all thanks to Lefty policies. 45339. concerned - 11/24/2012 5:48:53 AM I recall seeing an article recently where in Greece, a long time graphical illustration professional was forced to move back to the family two acre farm to raise olives and goats due to the collapse of their socialist state. How many Americans have that option? 45340. concerned - 11/24/2012 5:53:53 AM arky -
if you attempt to laugh this off, I will henceforth regard you as a thoughtless, uncaring child, regardless of your age. 45341. iiibbb - 11/24/2012 6:09:46 AM Concerned... it is most funny to me that you, like most conservatives, continue to marginalize the people who would be most likely to vote Republican if given a real candidate.
Hyperbolic comparisons to Hitler and Nazi Germany are not a winning road.
I've got no interest in the Republican party while it's being run by the current cadre of relious nuts, fiscally non-conservatives, and the uber-wealthty. 45342. arkymalarky - 11/24/2012 6:26:33 AM Don't forget the neocons. 45343. arkymalarky - 11/24/2012 6:26:34 AM Don't forget the neocons. 45344. judithathome - 11/24/2012 6:14:22 PM Conn'd, I suggest you read up on the ACA before you predict gloom and doom and eventual olive-raising for America...employers will get MONEY for providing insurance...insured employees will be better employees and more willing to stay with the place they work if they are treated fairly and don't have to go bankrupt over an emergency room visit...children of employees will be healthier...
You seem to think Obama himself is standing over a map of the US, rubbing his hands together, and chuckling manaically..."I've got you NOW, my pretties! WAAAaahahahahahahaha!!!" 45345. judithathome - 11/24/2012 6:16:30 PM Look, your side gave it its' best shot...you lost. To quote a certain poster here who said this for eight years under Republican rule: Get over it. 45346. Wombat - 11/24/2012 6:52:29 PM As noted before--many times--Greece is the perfect Tea Party state: everyone wants their own government benefits, but no one wants to pay for them.
And in general, attempting to compare Greece to the United States in any way, demonstrates the profound lack of seriousness that helped lose the election for the Republicans among people with functioning brain cells. 45347. judithathome - 11/24/2012 6:59:00 PM Amen. 45348. judithathome - 11/24/2012 7:07:36 PM Michigan Republicans Offer Tax Credit For Fetuses After Cutting Tax Credits For Children
November 23, 2012
"Come January," reports the New York Times, "more than two-thirds of the states will be under single-party control, raising the prospect that bold partisan agendas." That's one way of putting it. In Michigan, where Republicans hold a super-majority in the state legislature, we can see how that may play out in the redder states, as lawmakers toy with the idea of a $160 tax credit for fetuses starting at 12 weeks of gestation.
As The Guardian reports that the bill is designed “to recognise that mothers have additional bills to pay.” I think we can all agree with that, but the rationale is hard to swallow in a state that last year cut tax credits for children -- actual breathing, eating kids.
45349. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:05:52 PM Wombat gets it exactly backwards, as usual - Greece's debt financed nanny statism has no relationship at all to Tea Party policies and are often directly opposed to them.
Only fools like Wombat would fail to see the warnings that Greece and the other Socialist European states in crisis are providing to US Leftists. 45350. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:10:28 PM Democrats Are Going To Make It Nearly Impossible To Pass On A Farm Or A Business To Your Children
After all, if one owns a square mile or two of farmland, that make him or her 'rich', even though average income is far below the six figure range.
More examples of how wrongful and destructive Leftist economic ideas are. They want to effectively put an end to small farms now. This is more of the usual Leftist terminal stupidity.
45351. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:13:44 PM In Illinois, a Democrat controlled state since forever, there is no child tax credit whatsoever, so where does that put Illinois Democrats if Michigan Republicans are so 'bad', JAH? 45352. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:18:47 PM Guess that means that Illinois Democrats are 'out of touch', too. They're not handing out money fast enough, according to JAH. That's the totality of her 'gimme gimme oink oink' argument. 45353. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:26:54 PM In the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx said that the government should confiscate all property that would otherwise be passed down from generation to generation. Looks like US Democrats are more than halfway there. 45354. judithathome - 11/24/2012 8:34:02 PM As usual, you miss the entire point...I was mentioning the fact Wis. is taking away tax credit for the living and giving it to the unborn.
It would seem to me this is backward and might encourage more families to procreate...without regard to the fact they might not be able to pay for the kids they already have.
Rather than reading what I wrote, you use it as a way to slam the Dems. In another state.
Try defending the Republican policies I was highlighting, why don't you? Unless, of course, you can't.
45355. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:36:17 PM Here's Wombat accusing 0bama of a 'profound lack of seriousness', since it is generally acknowledged that the European Socialist system is what 0bama and most Democrats wants to model the US after:
And in general, attempting to compare Greece to the United States in any way, demonstrates the profound lack of seriousness....
Wombat - you are an anencephalic partisan hack who couldn't find your ass even with your head jammed up it. 45356. judithathome - 11/24/2012 8:39:27 PM Only fools like Wombat would fail to see the warnings that Greece and the other Socialist European states in crisis are providing to US Leftists.
Do you even have a clue how the people in Greece live? Did you know that the majority of the poplulation there doesn't pay taxes? They just flat refuse...unlike here, where prople who owe taxes pay them or go to jail. No one goes to jail for not paying taxes in Greece.
So you're off on the wrong foot already, with your alleged "warnings" to the USA that we will go the way of Greece...the only people in this country acting like Greeks are the richest people in this country...who get out of paying taxes by parking them in shelters in overseas banks.
But that's just fine with you, isn't it, because they are Republicans.
45357. concerned - 11/24/2012 8:40:10 PM Re. 45354 -
I won't say that I'm in favor of tax credits for the unborn - that seems to be mostly a bit of political grandstanding - but I was pointing out that state tax credits for children are far from universal in the USA. Now, both Illinois and Michigan have tax *deductions* for children/dependents.
