    Wrong on ALL counts again!

    Programs DO help the poor.

    The environment would be trashed by now if it wasn't for those protections.

    Blaming the victims for the GREED OBSESSED Wall Street Casino Bosses outsourcing their jobs is ridiculous. We the People are way more important than corporate profits.

    Name all of these imaginary "god's rules" that are in the Constitution.

    He is not even mentioned anywhere in the Constitution whereas Science is mentioned TWICE!

    Tell that to the 50 million fools who are retired and can't afford to pay for private health insurance.

    Entrepreneurship is dying in America because Venture Capitalists can SAFELY make more from taxcuts than they can from investing in new startups.

    Some do some don't. In fact the overwhelming majority don't.

    What do you mean by survive? You think you'd literally die without 40 000 dollars a year?

    Villains say things in a point-blank way that cuts through the bullshit wonderfully.

    Ursula the sea-witch from The Little Mermaid: "Life's full of tough choices, idn't it?"

    Auric Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

    Darth Vader: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

    Maleficent: "Now you shall face me, oh prince, and all the powers of HELL!"

    Lady Macbeth: "Screw your courage to the sticking place."

    The Wicked Witch of the West: "I'll get you, my pretty. And your little dog, too!"

    The Terminator: "I'll be back."

    Tuco (Eli Wallach) in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

    The Penguin to Catwoman: "Just the ***** I've been looking for."

    Barack Obama: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

    Hillary Clinton, talking about her failure to come to the aid of our diplomats in Benghazi: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right."

    When people come right out and tell you they're evil, it's quite refreshing.

    You mean liberals ... The feminist spinsters who don't have kids to rely on, and the couples who's kids live in their basement, don't have jobs, don't pay rent, pay taxes or contribute to SS. :lol:

    How do you explain the super rich Lefties who are calling for tax increases? Could it be they will make sure they are included in any loopholes?

    Just because you think of money in your pocket as the only priority, doesn't mean that other people would have to think the same way. There are people who do not care about the amount of taxes they pay if they already have a life of riches that even Kings could not have dreamed of 500 years ago. In fact, many think that those taxes are a small price to pay for living in a civilized, safe and prosperous society.

    Saying one is better than another doesn't support either one.

    Saying that Trump is better than Biden doesn't mean I support Trump.

    This country was founded on libertarianism.
    Each man nearly an autonomous self ruler and self provider. It worked spectacularly until big government started getting involved.
    We need a massive reduction in government authority.

    Are there more or less people on government assistance now?

    How often do people get out of poverty based on government assistance?
    Please site sources?

    The environment if all screwed up. In spite of all our environmental laws.
    I lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest and am an avid/professional sport angler.
    Oregon and Washington for the last 40 years have been heavily regulation everything about salmon and their habitat. We've spent many billions of dollars, restored habitat, destroyed industries and given tens of thousands deep hardship trying to save salmon runs.. all of it has failed and salmon runs are at an all time low, many are extinct and most of the rest care ESA listed as threatened or endangered..
    Our environmental laws do damn little good.

    Or perhaps the PhD who used to be my warehouse janitor. Parents paid all his college costs, but he still lived at home and off them at age 40.
    It wasn't lack or education or smarts in his way.

    Who is starving you out? Anyone holding you at gunpoint, demanding you buy their products? No. You have the power to decide how you will live, where you live, what you will buy. Closest thing to someone forcing you is government, taking your money by force of law, and giving you damn little in return. Give the government power to get more power, and they will- and soon you will find you have no power at all. Then you WILL be starved out, because you won't have any choices left.
