  1. I was thinking about trying on a gay black woman identity for a while. See how that went.

  2. Liberal "virtue" is all about making someone ELSE pay. They want to be the middlemen between Peter - whom they rob - and Paul - whom they reward.

  3. Yes. It appears that Californians aren't content to leave the shithole behind, but they insist on shitting all over their new digs. Texas SEEMS to be winning with low taxes and reasonable regulations, but it's turning more and more blue with every Californian immigrant.

  4. Mix of lies and truths, dema gog, which is what one would expect from one with such a handle. By "other more mature societies giving America "leeway" because we're young and ignorant," remind me who started 2 world wars, again. Remind me who gouges America at the trade table, year after year. The U.S.A. was formed by people who were Very Well Aware of over 2,000 years of elitist bullshit in Europe, and we CHOSE NOT TO BE THAT WAY. Get off your high horse.

  5. Justin Harper: You see the problem. You offer the same Dimocrat solutions. The solutions that turned the city into a shithole.

  6. kosh 963: Those are sad numbers. But they're BECAUSE of government interference in everything. People who can't afford a $400 emergency are the PRODUCT of welfare-state and entitlement thought processes and policies. And if YOUR idea of "good government" weren't already in force, then $400 would still be worth $400. How does inflation happen? Pretend that you can just throw money at problems to make them go away, and then print money when it costs more to fund your bullshit ideas than the government takes in. Then, rather than question your profligate spending and the dependencies it creates across the entire society, you conclude that people just aren't taxed enough. Let me let you in on a secret. People will always want more stuff than they can afford, and will always jump on board, when somebody promises them something for nothing. There's NEVER enough money. Go ahead and take all the money from all the rich people. Next year, you'll have the exact same problem you had, before, only then you don't have an economy to address even the SMALLEST problems. You guys.

  7. The church has been minimized by government programs that displace their humanitarian role. Government is now God to most Progressives and Dimocrats, but they'll never admit that fact.

  8. I feel sorry for them, because they know no other way. They're been steeped in collectivist/socialist dialectic since they were children, in state-controlled schools. They are what we made them!

  9. Once you get outside of the city, most people have some common sense and know about life. In the city, people are trapped in an echo chamber.

  10. Taxpayers don't pay. Not right away. Government pays with money it doesn't have, then raises taxes and worse - inflates the currency. Then the taxpayers pay double or triple. But that's OK. We'll just run up the debt, some more, die, and leave our children and grandchildren to pick up the bill for our selfishness, which we insist on characterizing as "virtue."

  11. Patti Morris: Great idea. But by the time the City Fathers figure out how to make the building fit for human habitation, the cost incurred will be greater than just building something new. That's how this sort of thing works. The fallacy at the root of your statement is that government knows how to run anything.

  12. Conservatives welcome the downtrodden into their homes to help them. Give to charity. Democrats virtue-signal with other people's money, then race for tax shelters if THEY have a nickel to hide from the tax man. 2-faced, lying sumbitches, who profiteer off the poor. Their kind have been in and around power since government was invented, and they never change.

  13. Hunter Jones: There's no incentive to provide quality services at low prices when you're a government bureaucrat. In fact, just the opposite. If you're absolutely corrupt or incompetent, that means the program YOU administer gets MORE MONEY! "Our schools are failing. We must spend more on education!" LOL! That's just so administrators can hire more staff, and get paid more because they're responsible for more staff, and their "program" is the only thing Democrats understand as "growth industry." The latest is the diversity offices springing up in education and business. They do nothing to make better products for people. All they do is look for sinners to crucify, for their own prestige and to justify hiring more Thought Police flunkies under them, because racism/sexism/you-name-it-ism must be destroyed!

  14. Maybe if the Dimocrats would do away with minimum wage lunacy, a shop owner would set aside a cot for a guy who sweeps the place, and just kind of helps around. If it MUST be a $15/hr job, the homeless guy stays homeless. If it's a safe, warm place to sleep and some honest work, maybe just for the cot, a place to get cleaned up, and a few bucks, what's the harm in that? There's only harm in that if you're a Dimocrat.

  15. Modernization doesn't chew into jobs. It creates NEW jobs. But you're going to have to actually, you know, improve yourself and gain some skills if you want the new job. Still, the old job that was lost was primarily lost because of the high cost of hiring people in Dimocrat's upside-down universe. So, you automate. All goes back to "Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938." Nobody thought, then, that it would mean knocking the bottom rung off the career ladder. But my dad remembered... Nobody's crying about automatic pin-setters in bowling alleys. But that was a pretty cool gig for young trouble-makers, about 70 years ago. A nice first rung on the ladder to prosperity. Dad lost his job as a pin-setter, due to the 1938 law, which made it more cost-effective for bowling alleys to install the pin-setters we all grew up with. The generation that used to set pins by hand - their first job! - are all mostly dead, now.

  16. What businesses, other than Amazon?

  17. You really think that will affect Amazon? Hell, no. They'll pass it on to their customers. What you're really saying is you don't think PEOPLE are taxed enough. Your zero-sum view of the world is very flawed.

  19. That's right, Skankhunt42. I saw that story, too.
