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.

Don't give me that poor crap. Close to half the country is not contributing to the revenue base and that's economically unsustainable. Stop pleading poor at every discussion on just how far out of whack the numbers have become.
+ 1 We are now in a spot where half the people are "too poor" to contribute to the federal revenue base and liberals don't see a problem with that? Sorry, but if a poor person can afford to buy a $200 pair of sneakers, he can pay $100 to the government instead and "sacrifice" with a $100 pair.
Right, the "poors" should be REALLY suffering. They deserve that.
You probably think "trickle down" works too.
WTF? Having to "make do" with a $100 pair of sneakers is suffering? How awful we are, expecting poor people to go without a $200 pair. Heartless!

Most people outside of the coasts have no idea what net neutrality is, and will not be effected by it. On the other hand, if they have good jobs and growing wages, they will have no desire to change the course.
Trump hasn't yet hit that mark. And your optimism about how you think that will be some kind of great milestone achievement that we haven't seen in decades and will be a massive boom time is out of touch with reality. Conservatives have been selling the "Obama's economy was horrible, less than 1% growth" myth and it's complete bullsh*t. We had 4% growth several times over the last couple of years, and yes, under Obama. In fact we hit 5.3% GDP growth 3Q2014. Yet oddly none of you conservatives seem to remember that, instead you get lies about how "horrible" things were under Obama. Heck, even the Koch brothers more than doubled their wealth under Obama. Obviously couldn't have been all that bad. But sadly conservative hate is so bad and so strong that you all feel compelled to lie about it, you just can't help yourselves.

It's insanity.

Only when you stop pleading poor at the 1% who own 34% of the wealth in this country. If only those allegedly benevolent business owners actually paid some of their massive earnings to their workers, perhaps those workers could be more economically sustainable.
They own 34% of the country because you keep doing stupid shit like creating stacks of regulation in the name of "fairness". The more you do, the more "unfair" things get. Since you're economically illiterate, how about you step back, donkey, and let someone who knows WTF they're doing unscrew what you've screwed up royally.
