Can't subsidize them forever, even though you would like that to happen.

Intergenerational welfare has to stop.

Then why are you bitching about shoes?

That was ME talking about poor people wasting money on $200 shoes....not the PP you're replying to. Why do liberals always assume they are talking to ONE conservative? Can't you tell the difference in writing style and content? Jeez.

You mean there is more than one f-ing idiot dotard?

You dotards all want to punish people for their sins - being poor, getting pregnant, etc.

You call me an idiot? How many times do I have to tell you that expecting a poor person to go without a $200 pair of sneakers is not a punishment. "You are going to have to wear a $100 pair of shoes as punishment for being poor!" These liberal attitudes that poor people are entitled to throw out (taxpayer) unnecessarily or otherwise they're being punished is the source of a lot of problems.

This is today's Russian talking point. Distract with some stupid example that is pointless and worthless.

The big story TODAY is that the rich 1% and wealthy corporations are STEALING middle American taxpayers' money to enrich themselves even further because of this tax steal they PAID for by buying (or threatening) Republicans in Congress. (I'm betting the Russians have all sorts of dirt on every Republican who accepted their dirty Russian money.) The 1% owns 34% of the wealth in this country. If that's not oligarchy, well, we're getting there.

Count another win for Vlad. He's the richest man in the world, and he wants to become the most powerful man in the universe by taking over the US government. He's got his Orange Puppet and his GOP puppet congress -- can't wait for his next move -- dismantling Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security??

Trumpkins are going to love that!! But they'll be dead from their loss of health care benefits, so who care about them? says VladTrump. So. Much. Winning.

You are unhinged and wrong on just about every point you attempted to make.

I hate disingenuous, strawman arguments. Newsflash, apparently breaking: many liberals know poor people - sometimes, liberals are poor people! - and poor people frequently go without. Not without $200 shoes, but with one or two pairs total. From Walmart. Handed down. TJMax. Goodwill.

You make assumptions about the behaviors of poor people based on the stories you hear from right wing media and it's total baloney. If businesses shared the vast profits they reap with people who actually do the work, you'd have fewer people needing assistance. Evidently this is a difficult concept for most Republicans.

FIFY

And this means....?? How is this relevant? It's an opinion from 230 years ago, a vastly different America.

Do you want to reinstitute slavery too?

FTFY

O. Mi. Gawd.

You're bringing back HILLARY!!

That's sooooo sad.

That quote reminds me of something I was thinking the other day... Rs love the whole "pull yourself up by your boot straps" mentality. There is no clearer example of that than the Clintons. You can say whatever you want about their policies or their behavior (which I have criticized in the past), but those two people came from humble beginnings and used their intelligence and hard work to get where they are at. For those who claim HRC rode on her husband's coat tails, I don't know how true that is because if you read about her past, and how she graduated magnum cum laude, and how her college classmates thought she would be the first female president, I think it shows how tough and intelligent she is. I'm thinking she was an asset for Bill more than anything. He had the charisma, but I think she had the smarts.

Trump, OTH, is the anti-thesis of the R battle cry.

BTW, I used to be a R, and voted for both Bushes and highly criticized the Clintons during that whole Lewanski scandal. I remember when people used to call her Billary, but I never understood why they did that and was actually kind of offended by it. As a female, I think men just didn't like that a female could be so ballsy and intelligent. Up until then, FLOTUS were pretty quiet and unassuming.

Sorry, totally off topic, I know.

Not off topic at all.

Also, someone called the Great Ganzo (I think I'm getting that right, but I can't find it, so probably not) said on twitter one of the nights that the Tax Scam bandit Paul Ryan sorta announced he was maybe quitting that Paul was going to go open up his dream amusement park, Ayn Rand Land. And there would be one ride: pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

The elected Republicans are largely of inherited wealth, and where they are not, they definitely believe in pulling the ladder up behind them. I'm with Paul - Wellstone, that is - "we all do better when we all do better." DH and I are doing great and I wish I could share this feeling with the people who aren't.

I'll only be angrier if TreasonGOPTrump succeeds in getting Russian sanctions lifted and The Orange Grifter gets his $13 billion payout from Vladimir Putin.

I know, it's a shit box. But chin up. There's a bigger fight, and if twitter rumor is true (and it is, given the fact that NO ONE save billionaires, bots and MAGAts wants this atrocity yet still the GOP rammed it through, illegal kickbacks and all, like they don't really have to work for their constituents) they'll largely be gone in under a year and we can begin to undo this.

The GOP is no longer a political party. Let's crush it.

The GOP is owned by the Russians and the oligarchs.

The people will rise in 2018 (get to work all of you democracy-loving folk -- elect Democrats all over the USA) and get rid of these treasonous traitors.

Once they are out of office, Trump will be impeached, and the Democrats will fix Obamacare or pass single payer (that can't be undone by the next POS fascist administration) and raise taxes on the rich (as it should be -- they don't need the money) and fix the tax loopholes so corporations and filthy rich people pay their fair share of taxes.

This will only happen if the masses rise up and VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2018.

I'm carpooling to my neighboring red states to canvass, register voters, knock on doors, pass out literature, work phone banks, get out the vote on election day. Please, everyone who cares about saving our democracy -- JOIN ME!!!

We will take back our Democracy from the grifting oligarchs!!!

Why do libs always take things to a ridiculous extreme in a failed attempt to make a point? There is a big difference between questioning why people on welfare buy $200 sneakers (more than I've ever paid!) and saying they have to live in rags and eat gruel. All we are saying is that people who are living off other people's money need to stop buying crap that even upper-middle class people wouldn't.

Also, anybody who is spending $200 on shoes and then claims he is too poor to pay even a few dollars in taxes should be ashamed.

I'm pretty sure you're getting it already.

This post you're responding to was a Russbot troll who's trying to paint democracy-loving Americans as violent. We democrats do not believe in violent uprising. We do not want guns in our society. We want peace, and we want a working democracy where politicians with differing views compromise instead of ramming tax scams through with no input and not a single vote from the opposing party.

The Democrats are the ones calling for gun control, NOT the Republicans, who are perfectly happy with the constant gun violence in our country.

So, go ahead, get your guns. You're more likely to kill yourself or a family member with a gun in your house. Check the statistics (the ones the NRA has not succeeded in supressing so the gun industry can sell more guns and let more Americans commit suicide and shoot their family members with the gun industry's products) and you'll find this is true.

150,000 Americans have died from gun violence since the Newtown shooting. Is this acceptable to you? It's not acceptable to me, or to the majority of Americans who want sensible gun laws and definitely do not want private citizens owning assault rifles.
