.
I sure hope so. Do you think he'll ever address:
The world's activities that cause terrorism,
Mass shootings. Illegal-drug related deaths/shootings, and all murders,
Parents senselessly taking the lives of their kids. Vice versa,
Overpopulation: Fewer people in this country to clog-up/chew-up our road systems, causing accidents, etc.
All transportation 'accidents',
Cheats and thieves to stop their practices, both in the gov't. and out,
All the shenanigans occuring in the courts ?
If the all the above are what God blessed, I don't want any part of this system.
(or, is God more important than even the President of the U.S.A.?)
Happy I-Day Everyone!
Me, I went and bought a Lucky for Life ticket hoping that when I check it tonight it will literally be Independence Day 2016 for me.
IN GOD I TRUST.
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
So these are the problems you have? LOL! You'd really be pissed if you were born a hundred years earlier. Just imagine life without a smart phone and government assistance.
Yea you would. Spoiled child. Never had a hard day in your life.
You are an idiot!
.
I think all of us have or deal with, in one way or the other, the problems I listed.
Smart Phones? Gov't Assistance?
Believe it or not, I've never owned a smart-phone. (that may change soon, idk)
And, I always pay my taxes.
And, my birth-day is last century some time. I was born before commercial Internet use.
Mr. Groppo
Happy fourth of July LPers. God bless America.
Happy 240th Birthday America, Happy 4th all.
God, Guns and Guts made America. Let's keep all three!
NICE!

Typical, common response from a typical, common person without reasoning.
Typical common response from a typical, lunatic without reasoning.
I understand the value of the dollar and the value of the vital programs that the crazy Christian Taliban love to cut. I'm not gonna complain about my life, but I'm not spoiled. Without the SOCIALIST program called emergency rooms i would not be alive.Without the "extreme" socialism of Social Security and Medicare, my grandparents can't afford to feed themselves or pay for their medical needs. Capitalism and Socialism work best when there is a healthy balance and we have way too much Capitalism.
Kingofearth,
Here's how the 'extreme,e socialism' of Social Security and Medicare work.
After not getting a COLA for the last couple of years people on SS, veterans on disability, etc...are going to get a $2 raise and Medicare is going to go up $27. A healthy balance you say?
Oh yeah, the excuse for not passing a COLA last time was lower gas prices.
We need a healthy balance, we don't have one. America has absurdly low taxes, we need to follow the path that the rest of the developed world.
He's not the one who believes that a bearded sky fairy controls our lives and that fatal cancer in children is a sign that this sky fairy is good and we need to worship said monster. Religion is mind slavery, simple as that.
Being a Liberal/Progressive is a Mental Illness!
You are a Christianphobic Bigot
Groppo & Kingofearth:
You two need to live somewhere else, and then come back and complain, since your condemning this Country's Independence, by virtue of the both of you complaining about this Country's Ideals. In the first place this thread was put up to celebrate this Country's Independence, not your two cents on what America should be.
Secondly , if that's the way you feel, why haven't you stood up when the elections were around? Your complaints will fall on deaf ears simply because the two of you are not part of any solution, because thoughts like yours are part of the problem. The premise of Independence was built by people who stood against Tyranny and Taxation, not by people who squatted and complained about the system.
In Other words, I'd Love to offer you some Cheese to go along with your Whine..
Maddog.
Thank you for your common sense!
Idiot alert!!!!!!
It's a good thing I'm neither. Those terms are used by the center-right and center-left respectfully to distinguish themselves from the Christian Taliban. I'm a capitalistic socialist ( No, that centrist Bernie is NOT a socialist). I hate all religion equally, and all they always say, I love the brainwashed and hate the brainwashing.
Neither of us said America was worse then most of the world ( although it's far from close to the top five). I've voted in every election that I've been eligible for.... So You think that tyranny is bad but that it's not ok for people to question or complain about the <snip>ty aspects of America? Do you understand what irony is?
You are an adult, start acting like it. You know everything I said are basic facts and so you have no defense.
Thank GOD people like you are a minority in this great country. I worked my way through college years ago.... And you?
No one can work their way through college in today's world. The Christian Taliban wants only the wealthy elite to go to college and thus I'm gonna leave a public college $80,000 in the hole. I have to leave this second world before it becomes a third world country. That is why I need a big jackpot.
Your knowledge of taxation and economics is at the 1st grade level LOL!
And in Lottery News, the was a bump to $454 Million, $319 Million CASH!
Your manners and reading skills are at a 1st grade level. The top tax rate in the 1950's was 90%, we need politicians who will advocate for reasonable rates like that. Personally I'd say 70% is enough to be able to keep America a first world country, anything less and we wouldn't be able to keep up.
I've got my tickets and I'm ready to get it!!
No money for Zoo York Slobs!
So when Harding and Coolidge lowered all tax rates we had unemployment as low as 1.9% ........ and no, that prosperity did not cause the Depression as your mythology alleges ROTFLOL!
Some circumstances are not fully understood on the Independence Holiday:
http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2014/06/19/what-you-are-not-being-told-about-the-invasion-of-america/
The US was getting flooded with debt repayments from the allies, unemployment would have been lower with higher tax rates. Ummmmm the 1920's did bring on the Great Depression. Do you have any idea what the word "facts" means?
Oh batman, my brain is melting at the absurd nonsense. How much do the scammers in control of it make every year?
Who founded this country? Migrants...
What did they do here? They conquered the previous inhabitants (American Indians)...
The world has changed a bit since the 1600 and 1700's.
Yours is the world of Myths and Fairy Tales!
Yes, I understand what Irony is. It's Ironic you didn't catch my last sentence huh?
More ironic is that between your ranting and raving about 2nd world and 3rd World you've forgotten a crucial part of History known commonly as Independence.. But, I guess your Independence is more important Huh?
The Post was about Independence of the U.S.. A Birthday celebration. It wasn't supposed to be infused with 2nd & 3rd
World Geography, or other ramblings..
What goes around comes around: Open Borders: Migrants Pouring In: It's Just a Matter of Time: Goodbye Country!
For starters, Emergency rooms are not a Socialist Program. You still owe the Doctors and Hospital, it is your responsibility to pay your bills.
Second, if your Grandparents paid into Social Security and Medicare , they are entitled to it. they are not Socialist programs.
Medicaid is however a Socialist program.
Third, it would be a cold day in %^^$ that I would let a family member go hungry, I do not expect others to feed me or mine. Seems your family should be making sure grammy gets her snack.
There is not such thing as a healthy balance of Socialism and Capitalism, Socialism does NOT work, eventually you run out of other peoples money.
Socialism promotes lazy, people who don't want to work will sit on the couch waiting for others to feed them.
Charity is great, but excessive forced taxation, causes people to stop producing.
And if you didn't pay any of your medical bills, then you capitalized, actually you stole services, not okay to expect Doctors, Nurses, or any medical facility to work for free.
ER's are not allowed to turn anyone away, that isn't capitalism. The minimum wage of a server is $2.15 (That's where tipping comes in), do you want the streets to be filled with starving people begging for food like in many parts of the world? Not everyone is a rich miser like you, work for $2,15 and see how long you'll survive without socialism coming to the rescue. Oh yes because Kim Kardashian and all the inherited wealth crowd totally worked hard for their money. Socialism believes that everyone deserves access to basic needs such as health care and food. Capitalism is the rich get everything and everyone else is as worthless as dirt. Top tax rate in the 1950's was 90%, stuff was produced then. Most countries have most medical care be totally free, America's health care system for the uninsured is on par with war torn west African countries or worse. Facts are facts.
And if you weren't alive and they needed support? You think a person should die off if they can't support themselves and have no one to support them? The right really has fallen off a cliff.
You are wrong, just because ER'S cannot turn people away doesn't mean it's free or even Socialism.
Socialism, takes from those who work and gives to those who make bad choices, lack desire, lack ambition, lack education.
Socialism punishes people for being successful. I don't know where you get your info, but our tax rate has never been at 90%. There would have been a revolt like non other.
Medical is not free in other countries, like I said they take that money from working families. Those countries are either bankrupt or on the verge of it.
I have been working since 1977, I live within my means and have been saving my money for my retirement.
I will never look to other people to support me.
See, I come from people who believe in looking to the future and making good choices.
No one in my family needs to take from others.
In the Spirit of the Birthday of our Independence, I will give a brief statement on Capitalism.
Let's take little Johnny, grew up wanting to be a professional Hockey Player.
He worked very hard and practiced everyday, went to a College that promotes the sport.
He became so good, that a NHL team, like the Detroit Red Wings drafted him.
He proved to be a valuable member and was given a sweet contract, He is now a millionaire.
Well, Johnny married his sweetheart, and is now starting a family.
That means he is going to need a house, this is where rich people help out.
See the home sale helped the sellers, helped the sales agent, helps the bank that needs to pay the staff.
The house needs some work, plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters, all make some of Johnny's money.
But, Johnny still has lots of cash so he'll invest in a restaurant, that puts lots of people to work.
Yes, now he needs a tax deduction, so he donates a big pile of cash to a Children's Hospital that helps cancer kids.
Capitalism works every time, lots of people benefit.
Socialism takes from everyone and gives everyone what they need. How capitalistic is running a building that treats everyone regardless of their ability to pay? Our tax rate was 90% in the 1950's.The top tax rate of all American history was 94% during the height of WW2 but it didn't last long. LOOK IT UP. Typical far-right loon, say a fact is wrong and just keeping saying it's wrong even though it's very clear that i'm right. And for those who can't support themselves? I don't want the us to become like Bangladesh. What's next, you gonna advocate we return to hunter-gathering?
You want capitalism, look at Somalia. THAT is unregulated and absolute Capitalism. What you posted is just nonsense fairy tales that never happen. Who insures that the plumbers,electricians, painters and carpenters are who they say they are? The Socialist concept of needing a certificate to do a job. Who insures they get their basic needs taken care of if they can't find enough work? Socialist welfare programs. Who makes sure that Johnny's restaurant obeys basic health codes, The Socialist government who takes everyone's tax dollars to pay for inspectors who will ensure he is compliant. Iff the hospital can't get enough donations? It should close and send the sick children off to the streets? Capitalism is beneficial and necessary in conjunction with Socialism
You are so wrong on every statement, you want to justify being a taker, and now you are not worth anymore of my time. Go check the mailbox, your welfare check is here.
Typical far-right loon.When you have no defense go " WAHHH Stop Saying Facts WAHHH" Because of you voting in anarco- cavemen like yourself I have $80,000 in loans from a public university and i'm graduating early.
No actually your so dumb it makes my head hurt,, Somalia is not a Capitalist country, it is one of the poorest in the world, life expectancy 46.
The highest tax rate in the 1920's was 17%, for those making over 4 million.
The lowest, was .32 % for those making less then 100,000.
Your 80 k in debt, wow you are a monumental failure. You could have bought a house. You will probably never repay that debt, but why should you care, someone else can pay your medical, buy your food pay for an education that did nothing for you, your dumb as a rock. Go slap your libtard teachers, Socialism is a tyrannical Government forcing those that succeed to pay for those who don't even try.
Yes i had a Wonderful 4th of July hope everyone else did also.
Now these people are still setting OFF Fireworks all hours of the night, i suppose they will be doing it all The Month of JULY!
Somalia is Capitalism without Socialism. In the 1950's the top tax rate was 90% because we had two sane parties controlling the government. You say you've been working since the 70's but you sound 8 years old. Unfortunately i had to be born in this declining second world (soon to be third world) crazy land. The next time you need police, fire or ambulance, don't call. You obviously think basic governance (Socialism) is tyrannical so don't call those socialist programs.
You are dumb, my property taxes pay for Police and Fire services, there are not Socialist programs, boy you are dumb, 90 % tax rate in the 50's wrong again, be back later with tax tables.
Well, skippy went to see where you got your info, Thinkprogressive really.
Yes tax rates were historically high in the 50's, you would have our gentle readers believe all Americans paid 90% to the Government, wrong! that rate was for the very highest earners and they didn't actually pay that after standard deductions. the National average was about 56%.
Many Americans back then, like today, pay no Federal Income tax at all, that would be you.
47% of Americans today do not pay Federal Income tax.
Now go figure out how you're going to repay you student loans.
Lol lol I see ones like him who are in their 40's and 50's and still have student debt. I went to a great school and they paid my way! I have a woman coworker with 4 children and all got full tuition through either academic or sports scholarships. One turned down Harvard to go to a state school since the state school was paying for everything.
Some people should not go to college.
He didn't understand my story on the Hockey player and how Capitalism works.
I know. Lol.
Everyone pays for a service and that service provides it free of charge to everyone. And you are so uneducated as to not realize that isn't Capitalism? Your entire life is reliant on Socialism working hand in hand with Capitalism, but Capitalism is acting cancerous and overwhelming the Socisalism in America. We need to reverse it fast before we become a bigger Bangladesh.
You say the rate was reserved for the highest earners (true) but then say the national average, do you understand the difference? The vast Vast majority of the 47% are 2 groups 1) Old people who rely on Social Security, 2) Poor people in the (Largely solid Republican) Confederate states.
Fiction is fiction. Reality doesn't work like that.
I have bigger ideas than working in McDonalds for the rest of my life.
Enough with your Bull $HIT, What you are is a racist, one who wants Government programs that are there to support you.
Poor people are poor because they make bad choices, pure and simple and they are in all 50 States and your tone, with the Confederate BS tells me everything I need to know.
The 47 % are the lazy AZZHOLES WHO DON'T WANT TO WORK, LEAVE THE ELDERLY OUT OF IT.
What's that? A new line of infant wear?
Been done already, sorry.
Mike, Kingofcrap is to far gone, none of his thoughts or his words are his own, all the crap libtards and racists shoved into his head.
He wants Socialism, but is going to make something of his self, let the Greedy bloated government take all his money and give it to someone else.
You'll get what you ask for Kingofcrap.
Are you sure you're over 13? Adults discuss using facts. I stated basic facts, you just say nonsense.You are such a child with your "WAHH Stop saying facts WAHH". Poor people are poor because rich as holes like you squash and destroy anyone who threatens your wealth and you pay your workers $7.25 an hour. The 11 Confederate states have 82% of under 65 people in the 47% category. Lowest is Left leaning Vermont by the way. Elderly people on Social security don't pay federal income tax, thus they make up a big chunk (30%) of the 47%.
I thought you were 8 years old, looks like you're even younger then I originally thought. You don't understand the difference between socialism and communism. Or any thing about any economic system at all.
Our economic system can't survive under the type of socialism you want. How do you intend on supporting this? Higher taxes? LOL! Yea sure, take from the producers and give to the takers. See what happened to Greece? And don't bring up the high taxes back in the 1950's...They had deductions back then that they don't have today. Back then a doctor who made 50K could (on paper) deduct that entire amount, which means he paid no taxes. Don't listen to your liberal professors who never had a real job or had to make a payroll their entire lives.
That is what compromise is for. The Denmark style utopia won't work in the US, but there needs to be politicians who will advocate for it so that the middle is actually in the middle. Instead we have center-right moderate conservatives like Obama and Hillary advocating far-right positions and then needing to fall off a cliff in order to meet the Republicans half way. No economic system can function without a healthy dosing of other systems. Venezuela, Somalia, North Korea, The United States, all failures because they don't have a balance.
obama and hildabeast are center-right moderate conservatives? OK, thats a lie. In 240 years the US became a world economic power. Because of socialism or capitalism? And when the economy prospers, so do the people.
LIGB,
When I read his post all I could do is shake my head. There is no point in trying to reason with someone who says stuff like that.
Larry the Cable Guy..."You can't fix stupid".
Yea I know.
Name one left wing position either of them has ever had? The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, read it. Unregulated and uncontrolled Capitalism is very destructive and dangerous. When all the wealth goes to the top, only the rich prosper.
I'm stating basic facts. Only a stupid person responds with ad hominum attacks rather then accept facts.
I read that book, I guessed you missed a couple chapters, The premise is immigrants were treated very bad and many prospered of the their backs, now with that being said, because of this book, we have the USDA
Teddy Roosevelt read the book and was disgusted by the meat stories. This book was written in 1906, while monopolies were at their peak. we come along way since then. And none of it is due to Socialism.
You cannot make equality by taking from one and giving to another. Capitalism has nothing to do with poor people, poor people are poor because they make bad choices, they are responsible for they decisions they make, rich, or wealthy did nothing to them to make them poor.
Kingofcap has low self esteem, low self worth and enjoys his role as victim, who deserves other people things.
Theft, is what it is, stealing, when you vote for someone because they will take from one and give to another, that is theft.
Why do so many people come here from socialist countries and thank God they made it? I guess its because they had the "privilege" of living through your eutopia huh?
Idiot. Go live in a socialist country then come back here and talk about it. Don't tell us what a stinking book says.
I wouldn't put too much starch into what you're saying, because if Hillybag, gets elected yours, or others opinions won't matter much at all. Your demise will be just like everyone else's....!
The Federal minimum wage is set by the Federal Government. Not big Business.
The minimum wage is usually high school kids, if all you are qualified to do is a minimum wage job, who's fault is that, no education, no skills, no ambition, no drive, no paycheck.
The 47 % are working age adults who pay no Federal income tax.
I would rather see more young people get a good education, good job with benefits, why? Because it will benefit me in the long run if our youth are productive. Right now all I got is a bunch of lazy bums living off my tax dollars.
hmmmmm why would anyone want to keep anyone down, when working America benefits all of us?
Your use of the word Confederate, to me that says white people, that's what you mean...well numbnuts, I'm Chippewa, so much for the rich white person you want to portray me as.
Adults discuss using facts, not everyone has a rich parent like you little miss bourgeoisie millionaire.
Which is why I play the lottery, Choosing between a authoritarian queen and Mussolini 2.0, I choose win and flee.
The median age of a fast food worker is 28 and has 2 kids. So unless you want starvation, pay them a LIVEABLE wage. The 47% is all adults, you don't get to make stuff up and act like it's not straight out of your gut. I say Confederate when i talk about the (solidly red) southern states that eat up your tax dollars.
Who told them to have kids they couldn't feed, quite cruel to expose not just 1 kid to poverty , but 2, 3, 4
Who is so effing stupid they keep having kids they can't feed, you cannot blame that on the rest of the country.
And why do you have 2 styles of speaking, are there 2 of you logging on?
He's not here for lottery, his agenda is to push for Hillary, no matter what he says, he's another plant, and I believe he's already someone who has been sent to the Land of no avatar.
There are 2 styles of speaking, can't think of the last pair that pulled that, but rest assured I will try to remember.
Oh, I am not talking about fonts my dear, I went through all your posts, I see 2 distinct styles of speaking...that you acputz?
by the way, this little Indian grew up very poor in Detroit, I will never expect anyone to foot my bills.
I went to 8 outings this year (5 new ones) on Independence Day or Fourth of July [Curry Cravings, Tea Breeze, Pho Saigon City, Rick's Cafe, and Gotta Eatta Pita] along with the classics Ranch 99, Baskin Robbins, and Panda Express.
happy to the florida lottery winners of the big jackpot; mr. mugga the black pop!!!
