I totally agree. I am over fifty and I'm flabbergasted. Look at the people right here. Even a long time freeper is arguing for socialism. There was an article last night I saw about Pravda saying how the US had turned communist. Amazingly, that article was the absolute truth. And for the newspaper Pravda, there was pravda (truth) in izvestia (the news).
All along I thought maybe we got Obama due to the increasing numbers of people who are on the dole or those who already get welfare money in the form of earned income tax credits but don't pay any taxes so the threat of higher taxes never bothers them. I believe those two groups together are still less than fifty percent of the people. But Obama keeps winning with over fifty percent of the vote. Didn't make any sense to me.
Now I see there is another group of people who, when added to those first two groups, may even have put Obama over the fifty percent mark -- those who work and pay taxes but think they are owed a high enough wage to live. The living wage entitlement group.
Just like the article from Pravda said, when communism is not called what it really is, people in this country vote for it. People supposedly conservative are demanding socialism. They don't want to hear about personal responsibility or developing a good work ethic or judiciously adding skills to their knowledge base to improve their worth. They believe someone should just pay them more money because they want it.
Seeing the absolute epitome of socialism welcomed here is making me sick. Where on earth did all these commies come from.
Well uh, ya...I'd like think I could make enough money to support me and a family...Apparently you figure China sets a pretty good example for business in America...
And of course you guys hate blue collar unions...I'd say it's people like you guys that are responsible for the creation of unions...
I'll bet you however just love the corporate unions...And anti-trust laws??? They were worse than Kryptonite for you guys...
Why is it no one talks about the value of a dollar???
