Slavery is gone, at least until people realize that you're making slaves out of the top 50% by forcing them to pay for the "wants and needs" of the bottom 50%. After all, that's what you think rich people are, right? Your personal property, the people who you've enslaved through the tax code in order to pull the cart you get to ride in.
That's just nonsense... I pointed out Government is a mismanaged and corrupt monopoly that loses money hand over fist and your rational for that is that we elect them by the "will of the people", so that makes corruption, mismanagement and the infringements of our rights OK... because we can replace one corrupt, fiscally irresponsible and rights trampling party with another. If you think you'll get anything but what I've described with either of the statist parties, you're in for a rude awakening.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.... Your bipartisan effort to artificially manipulate the housing market is at the root of the problem... that's what happens when you get "moderates" working together on altruistic projects. And, BTW, that bad paper was divided up, repackaged with other credit, and sold. Defaulted loans brought down the value of loans that were solvent. We've been over that before but you still don't get it...
It was regulation that started the practice of issuing high risk mortgages... Why can't you understand that the problem wouldn't have happened at all if the government hadn't regulated the practice into existence? And why do you still cover for Democrats like Barney Frank, who said the regulation to prevent the collapse wasn't necessary... even after it came out that his lover was cooking the books?
I donate my own money to the things I believe in... you're the one who demands that other people donate their money to the things you believe in funding. And, FYI, Churches and Charities would have more funding if people like yourself would donate to them instead of demanding government raise taxes on other people to do the same job. When are you going to listen to Obama?
"Government can only do so much...And if we’re just waiting around for somebody else to do it for us... if we’re waiting around for somebody else to do something, it never gets done." - Obama
Listen to Obama! He commands you! Stop waiting for somebody else to feed hungry children and house them, do it yourself!
Obama has adopted Bush's "failed" policies... And now they've magically transformed into "good" policies.
He'll be great for Unions, the bottom 50% and other special interest groups.
Some subsidies... like to the industries and corporations you like... screw equality and fairness, you got an agenda to push. You've got "wants and needs" that you see as someone elses responsiblity to fulfill...
You may not have noticed, I stopped imitating you after the election because unlike you, I respect the office if not the man. I'll leave the childish character assassination to you progressives... you guys are so good at it.
You ignored all the facts related to deficit spending as "stimulus" and why its not going to work this time around.... Pidgey offered facts, where are yours to support your belief that it will work?
I didn't ask for his resume, I asked for his senior thesis... Have you read it, or not? Do you have a link for it, or not? Has it been released yet, or not?
When the country LOVES somebody?!?! We already know the media has lost all objectivity... If the public doesn't have objectivity, this administration is going to be a disaster for our country.
