Do Liberals Really Care If America Goes Bankrupt?
There is pro and con on the spending habits of Congress and Obama. Whatever side of the issue you come down on is now irrelevant. What is done is done and we have to go forward from here. Business is the engine of our economy and business is in trouble. Foreign products are keeping the retail prices down while government tax and regulation policies are increasing cost of production. This results in severely reduced profits (taxable income) and reduced production (less jobs). Without the engine of business to power our economy there will be an even lower return of tax revenue to pay for all of this spending. Revenue taken from the private sector by government stops producing taxable revenue. Government spending on entitlements creates no new taxable revenue, only more expense to the taxpayers. As long as liberals get their entitlements and pay little tax themselves, they could care less about bankruptcy because they do not believe that it can happen. To them the well of money is bottomless. Because they believe this, they dream of a Socialist mecca where everything is free.
Why are some liberals so condescending toward Trump supporters? Do they really feel they are superior?
They can’t believe anyone voted for someone who has spouted so much hate speech, who has so few coherent ideas, and whose tendencies seem too patently autocratic.It’s not about liberals feeling “superior”: it’s about us being morally aghast that you guys got behind a demi-man who called Mexicans “rapists” in his campaign announcement, has degraded women, attacked anyone who dares criticize him, waged a systematic war on the very free press whose constant attention to him probably factored in his victory, attacked a Gold Star family and compared his “sacrifices” as real-estate billionaire to those of the young and dead Muslim-American soldier Humayun Khan, who besmirched John McCain’s status as a war hero — when was Trump ever in Vietnam?, who wants to create a registry for Muslims (much as Hitler did for Jews — bad precedent), who has the zealous support of the KKK, who cozied up to Putin (whose government interfered in the election — in the country whose security the president is supposed to ensure), who has been nominating plutocrats and alt-right loons to very lofty and powerful positions, who promises to deport millions and break up families, to “build a Wall and make Mexico pay for it” (good luck), who will lead us into trade wars and likely encourage fiscal policy that will lead to another huge financial meltdown, calls climate change a hoax propagated by China (and therefore embraces destructive industries and deregulation, and has no agenda to help mitigate the first anthropogenic extinction in our planet’s history), etc., etc., etc.We are disappointed to think we live in a country in which our fellow citizens think that these things are presidential, that they befit the leader of the free world. We are horrified to think that America elected its own image, and that image is this. The man’s affronts to common decency and infantile vulnerability to any provocation should have disqualified him in the minds of all decent and sane people.So what the fuck happened? I am no great fan of Hillary’s. I don’t think Washington is functioning properly. But electing this wholly selfish, power-hungry golem to our highest office was not a wise alternative.It’s not so much about superiority. The feeling is “This is America in the twenty-first century! How could you?”
Libs: Why do you deny that Ronald Reagan was 90% responsible for winning the cold war?
Liberals deny that Ronald Reagan was 90% responsible for winning the Cold War because they know that Ronald Reagan was NOT 90% responsible for winning the Cold War. The number would be more like.. hmm.. 10%...
