After reading this thread I wanted to vote straight-ticket republican ~ unfortunately there aren't any straight republicans anymore.
I'm so sick of hearing this "poor people shoulder the burden" crap. The economy is proof that Republicans know what they are doing. Yeah, tax the hell out of rich people and give it to poor people sounds great and noble. Too bad it doesn't work.
The people disagree with you. GDP is not the be-all, end-all measure of the economy. When the vast majority of Americans are making *less* money per hour than they were 6 years ago, that's not a strong economy for them.
Who the hell says poor people shoulder the burden? It's always the middle class... This economy is only poof that bending over for corporate interests is good for profit. Surprise!
What happens now is Democrats declare war on big business in the name of the middle class and poor. They want to Robin Hood the money and the economy will tank. And they will point to the Republican's past as the reason why.
A quote from tom delay (poster boy for all that is wrong with gov and politics): "we would have won but they wanted to send us a message"
they = the repub base. But really it is anyone, if you are elected and don't give a **** about the people sometimes it comes back and bites you. Amazing he didn't seem to understand that
I'm smarter than most people. And yeah, I heard that Pelosi wants to raise minimum wage. If anything, we should be ending minimum wage laws. Sometimes I wish Bush would just grab his balls, declare martial law and change our government into a constitutional monarchy. Whatever, McCain in 08.
Look at me! Look at me! I say stupid **** to get a reponse! Your act is old. Bigtexxx did it much better.
Most economic studies show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, minimum wage increases tend to spur the economy and don't cause any losses in jobs. You apparently aren't quite as smart as the people that did those studies.
