Democrats want everyone utterly dependent on government.  The more people dependent on government the better.  Its how they get their votes.  It's also their blueprint on how to eradicate personal freedoms.  Along with being too lazy to work, most freeloaders are thankfully too lazy to vote as well.

Again, whether 47% or 49% not paying income taxes (i like how the author said initially pay no taxes at all, nice bit of distortion there), no data on how this almost 50% votes. Further, the fallacy of saying recieved federal benefits also at about 50% means both that they are a moocher and they are basically the same as the aforemnetioned group... older people receiving benefits they paid into their whole working life renders this attempted linkage false.


First I established beyond dispute that lower income people tend to vote Democrat quite overwhelmingly.  So now you are trying to say that is because there are a lot of seniors on low fixed income.  But that is also disputed by the facts.  People over 65 vote more Republican than democrat by quite a large margin.  In 2010 it was 60-40 for Republicans.  You are spinning so hard you will soon be a Chinaman.
Quote:
Thus, to defend this comment is totally out of touch as well as elitist to paint almost 50% with such a broad brush. Why doesn't he be honest and say less than 10% of the pop are moochers who more or less steal from a cookie jar with less than 10% of the federal budget in it? Bc to acknowledge reality refutes their ignorant and vile propaganda and perceptions of the majority of poorer people, who do work full time and/or try to find full time employment if they don't have it,  and often at far more labor intensive jobs than he does.


You want Romney to lay block?  Again, just because you work full time doesn't mean you aren't a moocher.  Half of the population lives in a household that receives some kind of federal payment at my expense, not at all the expense of 50% of the population who don't pay any income taxes.  About 2/3rds of the other 50%, people who pay some income taxes, do not pay enough to carry their weight of the federal budget. 
Quote:
P.S. That 10% or so of the federal budget also includes some of the funding for countless persons scarred physically and/or psychologically used as cannon fodder (and/or their families left behind) for the profiteering racket of 1%, the greatest racket in history and a much larger drain on resources. Good to know that GOP elitists consdier these losers government dependents who will never learn what personal responsibility means.


And just how large a part of the 10% (what 10% are you babbling about, anyway?) is that?  I have no problem at all with taking care of the realtively tiny number of wounded protectors of our freedom. 

We are all well aware of your willingness to disband the police and military functions of the federal budget which, by the way, employ millions of people with good paying jobs.  Do you have any idea what would happen to all the losers if it weren't for the police and military?  They would be utterly destroyed by the winners who would be forced to be even more competitive just to protect themselves.

I must say, Romneys not my first choice, but I def like him better then Obama. Im voting G J, but am impressed with Romneys speeches. Maybe he is to Obama what Obama was to Dubya Bush. Maybe he is to us what Stalin was to Berlin, a moron replacement. We are kicking out Castro and throwing in Batiste, we are kicking out Batiste and throwing in Castro. We are faced with a difficult choice  we have to take a chance or face certain annhialation.

Zapp lives in a world of horse shit he thinks only the richest beaurocrats are making money from this mess driving yachts and buying mansions. He clearly doesnt understand wall street and executive owners of large business. He lives in the same fantasy world that he claims everyone else does. He wants to work on 10 million dollar houses but doesnt understand that you dont have to own a 10 billion dollar company to buy a 10 million dollar house. I could sit here all day and explain to him how trickle down theory doesnt benefit the middle class. Rich people arent hurting right now, everyone else is.

If you live near Manhatten you get this idea that Wall Street is awesome because you want to build 10 million dollar two floor houses with nice swimming pools. Who doesnt. The fact is Wall Street right now is hurting itself, its sitting on a ton of cash and could be creating new jobs. Well, with that being said Id like to see Romney or G Johnson give it a shot, they might fix things. If they dont oh well we wont have them as long as Cuba has had Castro. If we dont take a risk we get a for sure loser for another 4 years

And you think Obama wont treat a corporation like a person? No president will be against capitalism. If you are so obsessed with anti capitalism then make a thread about senators and governors, congress does half the damage. Do you know who Bill Nelson and Rick Scott and Marco Rubio in Fl are? Without good state legislature it doesnt matter how dumb or smart the president is.

Corporations don't pay income tax, they pay corporate taxes.  Or they don't.  What does this mean?

Quote:
Seventy-eight of the 280 companies paid zero or less in federal income taxes in at least one year from 2008 to 2010…In the years they paid no income tax, these companies earned $156 billion in pretax U.S. profits. But instead of paying $55 billion in income taxes as the 35 percent corporate tax rate seems to require, these companies generated so many excess tax breaks that they reported negative taxes (often receiving outright tax rebate checks from the U.S. Treasury), totaling $21.8 billion. These companies’ “negative tax rates” mean that they made more after taxes than before taxes in those no-tax years.


Did you know that you, too, can income average over several years if your earnings go down?  It's true.  I've done it myself. 

Corporate taxes are stupid.  So are capital gains taxes.  Income is income.  Period.  Say, do you have any idea how much payroll taxes Pepsico and its employees paid?  Plus the income taxes paid by its employees?  You see a dollar and think you should take it.

You can't even sell tile, dude, and you think you're gonna tell me how Wall Street and trickle down economics works (or doesn't)?

I know for a fact that I and my wife make millions of dollars providing services and products to Wall Street machers, among others.  Can we afford to live in the houses we build and sell?  No.  But we can live the way we do because of them.  It's a lot easier to build and sell 10 homes a year for millionaires than it is to build and sell 1,000 homes a year for chumps.

:lol:

Like you know I cant sell tile? :lol: you shouldve seen the phone call I got today. Its funny to me how many houses your family sells a year, and you cant even live in such a type of house? :rolleyes: pathetic

Keep waiting for wall street to pay your bills. TRUST ME, they couldnt give shit less about you. You could bum change in front of Wall Street and theyd walk by and spit on you. And you will too when your fantastic republicans fail you and your bubble fantasy bursts. So go vote for Romney

Btw, your one sided opinions and lack of a broader view as well as incessant one way dictating of twisted facts without cessation is probly the reason you never succeeded in sales. Cant understand how a "service man" dictates economical key values, you do understand wall street succeeds soley on sales right? Or what shall you argue drives stock interests? Tidal forces?

I cant wait til Romney topples our economy like Obama. But Obama will probly win anyway. Which will be great for you, because we'll have a great depression, and youll be building shacks

My grandmas house is worth 5 times what your shack is worth. Dont believe me? Pm me and Ill give you the address you can google earth it and Ill prove it.

Let me know when you run for something, Ill vote for you, then buy a pistol and a black suit and you can hire me as your body guard, Ill take a bullet for you. I think your a lousy person but youd make a good politician, your very pro debate and little bipartisan compromise unlike Obama.

However, I wouldnt be your bodyguard if you ran for governor or senator, only president or mayor or commissioner. Why? Because I dont support lobbies. I know you do, not because your a bad person, but because you live in a pretentious fantasy that those people are good people.

Then why president if I dont support lobbies? Because you live under the assumption that only congress really gives in to lobbies. If all the pretentious fantasies that you support hold up our country are pursued and actually work, then well be living in the paradise that communism couldnt support in no time.

Just remember, HIGH state spending, LOW federal spending you silly old man. Get out there and make it happen

the point is who are the biggest moochers


If that's the point, business owners*/executives are clearly the biggest "moochers".

What is a moocher: someone who lives off of others.

What is a business: an organization of people, tools, materials, and methods to produce enough of a product or service to sell to others to 1. Sustain and increase these means of production (meet expenses and invest in these means to grow the business), and 2. Skim and route wealth to the owner(s) of the business.  Owners tend to create self-operating systems, requiring little input, effort, work from them.  Wealth accrues to the owners based on how efficiently they exploit two things, 1. The expense of the means (including usually the largest expense, employees), and 2. Customers/demand.  This is why business owners/executives (like Mitt Romney) look at us as moochers:  we see ourselves as productive--the product or service wouldn't exist without us.  The owner sees us as an expense, usually his largest and most irritating to deal with expense.  The larger a business gets, the more control it has over both the means (employees, materials & methods) and the customers (the market).  The larger the business, the more wealth is routed from both the productivity of workers and customers (whose wealth is usually a function of their productivity).  Essentially, businesses are self supporting/growing systems that siphon wealth from both workers and customers to relatively much less productive, often unproductive, owners.  They're like tumors.  So, maybe, if these business owners want to call hard workers "moochers", we should call them what they are, "tumors", and we should "treat" them accordingly.  Businesses are organized to feed off us and grow bigger and bigger; that is why we need to organize, to shrink them, to starve them, to steal back from them the vitality they steal from us.

Also ... No wonder business owners hate (fear) unions, they know that human organizations have fantastic power: pyramids, skyscrapers, cruise ships, Disney World.  If workers harness that power for themselves by organizing, they are on an equal footing with businesses: 1. workers access that fantastic power of organization and all its potential, and 2. they decrease the power of businesses to exploit them.  This is why the idea if unions drives business people nuts, makes their blood pressure go up; they become seething & hateful.  They machinate and propagandize to great extent to prevent people from accessing the power that makes them feel so comfortable and special, like life is geared for their benefit.  Romney said as much, listen to how he explains that Chinese work to put a silver spoon in the mouths of Americans--disgusting.
