[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very worried about the direction of our country. There seems to be an accelerating drift toward socialism with the forced distribution of wealth. The famous quote about socialism working until you run out of other people’s money keeps coming to mind. What are people’s thoughts on this? [/quote]

My thought is....is there someone with too much time on their hands starting all these threads just to get people riled up for their own entertainment? Or is someone or some organization funding an effort to go on various popular message and discussion boards and start threads to get people riled up to increase the perception of strong political divides, reduce confidence in the government, and generally contribute to the negative climate in the US?

There was a great podcast posted last week here in the Money forum. The take-away as it applies to this thread is that 70% of Americans are basically centrist and want to get along. But there is 15% extremists on the left and 15% extremists on the right who live in an echo chamber of their own beliefs and are highly vocal and demonizing, making the 70% fearful of speaking out. This makes the country seem more divided than it is. [/quote]

I don't see how that can be true when somehow the 15%managed to get rid of my daughter's abortion rights.[/quote]

, forgive student loans with taxpayer money for individuals who signed an individual contract to pay the loans back, printed trillions of dollars resulting in runaway inflation, allow rampant crime to explode with little legal repercussions, attempt to ban gas stoves, provide free health care to illegal aliens, etc etc[/quote]

Back up your claims.

Who printed the money?  PPP and ERTC was approved under Trump, right?  Did you or your employer take this money?  Not that I think it was the wrong thing to do.  But yes it has consequences.
Who is banning gas stoves?  BANNING.  link?
Free health care to illegals?  How do tax payers pay for that.  link?
Open border?  Who just tanked the border legislation?  
Crime is trending down. https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p00099/nypd-january-2024-citywide-crime-statistics

You just spew hate talking points with no research behind your mental diarrhea because you come from a place of fear and hate, not reason and facts.[/quote]

Biden officials PROPOSED to ban gas stoves to cow tow to the climate activists. Well know fact. Just see the well circulated video of VP Harris standing in front of her gas stoves telling all of us we can’t have one.https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/13/house-passes-bill-block-gas-stove-ban-00100492

[b]Free health care to illegals — go visit an ER in a major city. Liberal California govt just passed legislation to provide minimum health care to illegals because it would be cheaper than them going to an ER[/b].https://apnews.com/article/health-california-immigration-gavin-newsom-medicaid-b09edcb2b89ab041b520f431f8aab4b6

Open Border - you clearly haven’t been paying attention if you were not aware of the millions of illegal aliens who have entered the country in the first 3 years of the Biden administration in an effort to fundamentally change the demographics of the country to keep Dems in power. The legislation you were referred to just happened in the last two months. What’s your excuse for the first 3 years of this disastrous Presidency?

Crime —- you posted a link from an ultra liberal city that is on the defensive because people and businesses are moving out (also due to ridiculous tax rates). Here’s a link referring to San Francisco. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/03/politics/san-francisco-crime-rate-what-matters/index.html[/quote]

1) We probably SHOULD ban gas stoves. They're dangerous and cause cancer. I'm not really sure how you fools made this a partisan issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you want your "rights" but when your rights infringe on my safety and my wallet, screw your "rights."

2) I love that you want to keep illegal immigrants sick. You really want the cook at the restaurant you frequent to have untreated hepatitis? YOU DO YOU.

3) Biden doesn't have an "open border" policy. That's just a lie, especially given the completely invented bullshit about trying to deliberately change the demographics of the country. Also, by all accounts, Biden's presidency has been extraordinarily successful. Just this week he was ranked 18th among all presidents. You know who was dead last? His predecessor.

4) Crime is down across the country. In nearly all major cities. I have no idea what you're prattling on about, but your fear narrative around crime is bloody hysterical. But by all means, run on it in 2024. It sure netted you wins in 2023's Virginia elections. LOL[/quote]

Note the key word you cite….”illegal”. Come to our country legally. Their first action was to break the law.[/quote]

I really don't GIVE A SHIT. They're here, they're doing jobs Americans don't want to do, they're paying taxes including FICA when they'll never get benefits, and in many cases they're fixing my food in restaurants. I want them to be healthy. Why you don't is beyond me.

Your stupidity is breathtaking.[/quote]
