Dear MAGA dumb-f**k, here's a pro-tip: a rising tide lifts all boats.

No, it's a zero-sum system. Ds take from those who have, to give to those who don't have, often without rhyme or reason apart from a fundamentally Communist notion that nobody should have any more than anyone else, without regard to merit, effort, or initiative.

Money taken from those who have it sinks them; it doesn't cause them to rise along with those standing there with their hands out.

But I'll bet you're all about being a good little "Christian," while steadfastly refusing to consider those less fortunate than you.

I'm neither Christian, nor a Communist. I believe that people should take personal responsibility for themselves, not looking to others to "raise their boats" for them. "Less fortunate" is all too often simply code for having made bad life choices in education, employment, childbearing, personal financial management, and personal relationships, and/or being lazy, or unmotivated. Nobody else needs to dig them out of holes they have dug for themselves.

Those who suffer unavoidable misfortune through no fault of their own are a different matter, and deserve a base level of support from any civilized society.

What I don't understand from your post is - who gets to decide? What makes you believe you should be making these decisions about other people? What's a "bad life choice" versus a "learning moment?" What about making the best decision you could with the information you had at that time, even if turns out to be wrong? And how do you square making "bad life choices" like childbearing, with the MAGA anti-abortion, oozing toward anti-birth control stance? How do you square with deadbeat dads, leaving women to deal with the entirety of child raising, letting them off scot free, without accountability (this is starting to sound familiar...). How does one make "bad life choices" around education when resources aren't allocated evenly from one school to another, when those with money have very separate and distinct advantages in schooling? What's a kid to do? You seem to want to lump it all with being lazy and unmotivated, etc. because it's so much easier to ascribe it to being a character flaw, and therefore all their fault, when we KNOW you simply can't always dig your way out of those holes. But you seem to see all holes as self-inflicted.

It’s much easier to pull yourself up with your bootstraps when you… have bootstraps.

Not to mention those who volunterily indulged in addictive behaviors which consumed them. They made their beds, not anyone else's problem.

FWIW, immigrants typically pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits (including illegal immigrants) and so, actually help us reduce our debt. Deporting them will be net harmful to our economy, GDP, and actually causes harm to our ability to be fiscally responsible

Just saying....

Honestly. Not miserable at all. Worked alongside my liberal boss this morning, had a nice lunch together and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Not sure 🤔 where you’re getting all this hate and division. For what it’s worth I’m in a small town mixed red and blue area and we all get along pretty well.

MAGA and QANON were against the international elite pedo ring when they were hoping to bring down Democrats, but now they're fully supporting the international elite pedo ring since it appears the main perps include Trump and his circle.

I really don't think you need to look beyond that symbol of their moral depravity and relativism.

They would rather abdicate all virtuous principles and suffer economic loss if it means their perceived opponents suffer more than they do. That's what they truly want. Nihilism.

Be careful what you wish for. You most likely would be a serf. Your children world beg for scraps instead of going to school. Your DH might get an arm severed at worried on the job.

Read some goddammed history about life in the gilded age.

What are your feelings on racism and pedophilia.....just curious.

PP has a serious point, but you can’t answer it with any substance so you come back with the irrelevant name calling, pathetic as usual.

BTW, why don’t you ask Bill Clinton, what was it 17 White House Epstein visits ? What was going on there.

Help for the poor is more of an American tradition than you think. The first compulsory education and public schools were in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Bellevue officially became a public hospital in the early 1800s, but had been used for quarantine and medical education purposes before that. The English Poor Laws were brought to the US by colonists.

Please student some history is both recent past and earlier past.

Based on US Census Data (CATO Institute) https://www.cato.org/white-paper/immigrants-recent-effects-government-budgets-1994-2023#immigrant-public-revenues-expenditures

Every year from 1994 to 2023, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they received in benefits.
Immigrants generated nearly $10.6 trillion more in federal, state, and local taxes than they induced in total government spending.
Accounting for savings on interest payments on the national debt, immigrants saved $14.5 trillion in debt over this 30-year period.
Immigrants cut US budget deficits by about a third from 1994 to 2023, and fiscal savings grew to $878 billion in 2023 (Figure 1).
Noncitizens accounted for $6.3 trillion of the $14.5 trillion debt savings.
College graduate immigrants accounted for $11.7 trillion in savings, while non–college graduates accounted for $2.8 trillion.
The cohort of immigrants entering from 1990 to 1993, just before data collection began in 1994, was fiscally positive $1.7 trillion, and was still positive after 30 years in 2022–2023 (Table 1).
Even including the second generation (see Box 1 for definitions), who are mostly still children who will become taxpayers soon, the fiscal effect of immigration was positive every year.
Immigrants in all categories of educational attainment, including high school dropouts, lowered the ratio of deficit to gross domestic product (GDP) during the 30-year period.
Without the contributions of immigrants, public debt at all levels would already be above 200 percent of US GDP—nearly twice the 2023 level and a threshold some analysts believe would trigger a debt crisis.

Are you making so much money now that your wife can quit her job and stay home where she belongs pumping out babies? Is your child no longer gay? Are you paying less for health insurance? How has your life improved?

Absolutely nothing will make them happy except they really seem to enjoy the cruelty to others by this administration and ICE. They really seem to get off on that.
