Liberal phobia and the cause….
- Thread starter Socrates the Greek
- Start date
What I find interesting is the confession of one 'rich' person that they personally benefit, but don't feel guilty, although they are happy to blame the conservatives for abusing 'the poor' and making 'the rich' richer...but no mention of, say, donating all of that money to the poor to make up for it.
That's the attitude I love: I'm personally benefitting, and I feel it's wrong, so I won't DO anything about it, I'll just complain about the government.
I'm not sure it's the politicians who should be ashamed of themselves.
But but but but the politicians do it and say it is ok so that's good enough for the rest of us, right?
But then the "religious right" would be without a home.........................:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Liberalism is bankrupting States like it is doing to countries in Europe. Liberalism is like a creeping fungus on life that steals from you with out any benefit other than to itself.
California, New York and other states are showing many of the same signs of debt overload that recently took Greece to the brink -- budgets that will not balance, accounting that masks debt, the use of derivatives to plug holes, and armies of retired public workers who are counting on benefits that are proving harder and harder to pay.
And states are responding in sometimes desperate ways, raising concerns that they, too, could face a debt crisis.
New Hampshire was recently ordered by its State Supreme Court to put back $110 million that it took from a medical malpractice insurance pool to balance its budget. Colorado tried, so far unsuccessfully, to grab a $500 million surplus from Pinnacol Assurance, a state workers' compensation insurer that was privatized in 2002. It wanted the money for its university system and seems likely to get a lesser amount, perhaps $200 million.

Hey Y.J. Is there something wrong with being an atheist (agnostic if you want to get technical)?
Hey, if the government is foolish enough to give me money, I will take it. But why should I donate it all to charity? The right solution is to vote the government out of office, not to donate everything to charity and be done with it.
Donating everything to charity is not the solution, it does not solve the problem of transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, which is happening big time under Harper. The solution is to vote Harper out of office, so that the transfer of wealth from the single mother on minimum wage to the rich billionaire playboy ceases.
Indeed. The solution of the 'transfer of wealth from poor to rich' certainly would not include a self-described rich person donating this money to the poor.
That is totally unacceptable.
The correct solution is to blame someone else, and do nothing that requires any personal sacrifice or effort. That is the way, the light, the truth.
Europe is doing fine, ironsides. So is Canada. You give example of Greece. But what about Germany, France, Britain? Are they drowning in debt like Greece? Greece is a small country of 11 million population and as such forms a small part of Europe. Most of the European countries, while having debt (many of them smaller debt than USA) are far from drowning in debt or are on the brink.
Greece makes international news because it is a separate country. However you gave example of New York or California. Both are much bigger than Greece and have problem similar to Greece. They do not make international news because they are part of USA and not independent countries.
So you are magnifying problem faced by Greece all out of proportion and thereby implying that Europe is in trouble. Nothing of the sort. Most of European countries are doing just fine.
For that matter, what about Canada? According to Teabaggers, Canada would be at least a fully Socialist country, if not a fully Communist country. Socialist or Communist Canada is doing much better than USA.
It is not the liberals who are ruining USA; it is the Americans who are ruining USA.
For that to work, most wealthy people must agree to donate the money, an impossible task. A much better solution is to get rid fo the perpetrator, namely the Conservative government.
So you don't think that the person who works hard, studies hard, invests well and is willing to take risks is deserving of wealth? As the old saying goes you can not do the poor one iota of good by hurting the rich. That is an old Socialist wives tale.
It's got to start somewhere. Bell? Cat?
...or is this just another cat-among-the-pigeons post?
Most of the left is religious YJ, not Atheist. They just don't wear their religion on their sleeve, they don't claim that they have a monopoly on knowing what God wants, and that anybody who disagrees with them is the disciple of Devil (which is what religious right thinks).
Perhaps a more accurate designation may be 'self righteous right' and 'religious left'.
But it's not wrong for you personally to take that money and keep it, knowing where it comes from.
As you have said.
