DOW drops 634 points

[Sheik]

So we cant cut programs that feed the poor.

We cant raise the taxes on the super-rich.

We cant cut the defense budget.

The answer is Joe Jerkoff working minimum-wage needs to pick it up? Really?

I just don't get why it's okay to put it on the super rich.

All on them = restoring their tax rates to pre-bush levels at least?

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

I mean, cant you at least get close to what the pre-Bush levels were and use that money to get the first responders some medical treatment for their cancer? How un-American is that?

The way you were talking, "Tax up the super rich, if they don't like it they can get out", it sounded like you thought that the way to fix the mess we're in is to just have the rich put it on their tabs.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Oooooh.

You thought I meant "Hey, were 10 trillion in debt. Line up and gives us teh monies until were all square"?

No, this is gonna be a long fight but taxing the extremely wealthy is a start. Getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan is another step. They got to cut the defense budget and enough w/ NASA. I feel like Ive read 100 different variations of articles revolving around Mars and water. We get it. Legalizing marijuana will help California. I think I read $240M if they did.

I still respect you.

No.

Yes. If you bought more house than you could afford it is no one's fault but your own. I bought a house in 2007, at the height of the market, but I was smart and went with what I could afford instead of what the realtor told me I was approved for.

That doesnt make any sense whatsoever. The little guy, who does pay taxes, doesnt have a right to know who is stealing billions of dollars? He doesnt get to say whether or not the county is going to get further and further into debt, which affects him greatly? This shit affects all of us and our grandkids. Its not monopoly money.

I was speaking in terms of what you want to happen. No representation without taxation. You see what I did there?

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

2 late. Sheik and I already solved the debt crisis.

government created jobs are like a dog chasing it's own tail.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

The rich won't create 1 more job then they have to to maximize profit..

why would they? Why would a company/business create an unnecessary job? Doesn't sound like a smart way to stay a company/business/rich.

It can work to stimulate the economy. A drop in unemployment would increase consumption and raise the GDP.

I learned that in ECON 211 last week!

I also like the Idea that well spend so much on defense but won't spend that on health insurance which would save more lives. You poor dummies are going to have to choose between health care, a car, or shelter.

Government has absolutely no business being involved in healthcare. Its absolutely ruining the best healthcae system in the world.

Obamacare is a huge loser, hopefully it will get repealed or obliterated by the courts.

Obviously your ECON teacher is an Obama/Pelosi loving socialist then, because creating more government jobs does not stimulate the economy.

 

[Plymkr]

No comments from the peanut gallery. You will be loving socialism when you are retired.

lol. Not counting on it there bro. The only money I have going into that socialist crap "retirement" is what the govt FORCES me to put in. I will be fine on my own thank you very much. See, some of us live the old way. BY SAVING. Not writing checks our asses can't cash. Like your Congress, President.

Blind ass, too bad there are so many more just like you.

We have the best healthcare system in the world? God you are stupid.

Lowering the unemployment rate does, jackass. Go back to burying your head in the collective asses of Faux News.

I don't think the USA has the best, I agree with ya there. But, who has better? Possibly India? I am just wondering.

Hilarious how health care has become a big deal in the past few years, since the jobs have dried up...

It's the economy......stupid.

Oh.. like those worthless 65k jobs the "govt" created and that they were all excited about. ?

Yeah, they were called CENSUS assholes bothering the tax payer..

STFU, seriously, you are out of your league.

 

[dbair1967]

So why do world leaders from all over come here when something goes wrong for them or family members then asswipe?

Its by far the best system, and the government will do nothing but jack it up.

And just fyi dipshit, I grew up working within the healthcare system, and have continued in the field since I got out of college.

Who pays for government jobs fool? Or like your dipshit econ teacher, do you think you can just print more money to cover it.
