But it's not wrong for you personally to take that money and keep it, knowing where it comes from.
As you have said.
That's called an exaggerated sense of entitlement - another trait of the disorder

oooaaah! We is good. They is bad. ooooaaah! Just like an extremist Muslim, we are good, they are infidels.:roll: Seems to me G Dumbya had the same either/or viewpoint, too. "If'n you isn't mah fren, you is muh inimy".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.
Most libs are like that they will rant against the Conservative government wy of taxing but when it comes to them they all say this.....:lol:oooaaah! We is good. They is bad. ooooaaah! Just like an extremist Muslim, we are good, they are infidels.:roll: Seems to me G Dumbya had the same either/or viewpoint, too. "If'n you isn't mah fren, you is muh inimy".
Wrong again, as usual.Harper government is taking from the poor and giving to the rich. In my opinion that is wrong, though that is the classic conservative philosophy.
But it's not wrong for you personally to take that money and keep it, knowing where it comes from.
As you have said.
The money I get by legitimate means is mine to do as I choose.
Quite so. That is exactly why it is only proper for the government to give tax breaks to 'the rich'.
No it is not. Transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich is always wrong. And that transfer is going on in a big way under Harper.
So it's wrong if Harper does it, but it wasn't wrong for Martin or Chretien to do it. uhuh :roll:No it is not. Transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich is always wrong. And that transfer is going on in a big way under Harper.
lmao Good point."No it is not. Transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich is always wrong."
EUREKA- That is the stupidest statement for this week so far. The poor don't have wealth.
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.

Now, now Soc Puppet, you don't want to have to apologise again do you?CRAP.........................................................BIG CRAP........................................
If you want to talk social benefit, the Liberals are on record protecting the Canadian common man, by introducing four key mechanisms in Canada to protect human rights: the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and provincial human rights laws and legislation.
Yep, and he was the last true Liberal PM this country ever saw.Also Prime Minister, Pearson's minority government introduced universal health care, student loans, the Canada Pension Plan, the Order of Canada, and the current Canadian flag.
I wasn't worth saying the first time, let alone repeating twice more. And yes, Liberalism is good for the common man, but the LPoC isn't.You see Iroside Liberalism is not a fungus, it is a sound political way taking care of the common man. SYou see Iroside Liberalism is not a fungus, it is a sound political way taking care of the common man.
Yes Soc Puppet, keep repeating that to yourself until you get it.So admitting you are wrong is a good start.o admitting you are wrong is a good start.
I'll second that, lol...Anyone who's ever committed a crime certainly knows his rights ... and every loophole to get them.
Excuse me?Good day Ironside, before you start throwing rocks on Liberalism, understand one thing. California is on the ROCKS because of the Conservatives, Arnold is a Republican
Why Is California Broke?
Most of those reasons have nothing to do with conservatism or Republicanism and a lot to do with social liberalism. And it started before SHortzpecker got in.Inquiring minds are asking "Why Is California Broke?" It's a good question. Please consider ...
- California has the 3rd highest state income tax in the nation: 9.55% tax bracket at $47,055 and 10.55% at $1,000,000 - Tax Foundation 2010 State Business Tax Climate Table 2
- California has the highest state sales tax rate in the nation by far at 8.25%. Indiana is next highest at 7%. Table 15
- California corporate income tax rate is 17th worst in the nation with a rate of 8.84%. - However, of the non graduated states, only Pennsylvania at 9.99%, Rhode Island at 9.0%, and the District of Columbia at 9.98% are higher. One size fits all (and a very high one at that) is exceptionally hard on small businesses. Table 8 and Table 2
- California ranks 13th best in property taxes. However proposition 13 causes massive distortions for new buyers. Table 2
- California has the fourth highest capital gains tax 9.55%. - Capital Gains Tax Rates By State

- California has one of the highest state vehicle license car taxes, 1.15% per year on value of vehicle, up from 0.65% in 2008. [expired link]
So where's the money going?
- 1 in 5 in LA County receiving public aid, nearly 2.2 million people as of February 2009. 20% in Los Angeles County receive public aid
- California has 12% of the nation’s population, but 36% of the country’s TANF (“Temporary” Assistance for Needy Families) welfare recipients – more than the next 8 states combined. Unlike other states, this “temporary” assistance becomes much more permanent in CA. July, 2009 California has more recipients in key welfare category than next eight states combined.
- California prison guards highest paid in the nation. The maximum pay of California's prison guards is nearly 40 percent higher than that of the highest-paid guards in 10 other states and the federal government, according to a study by the California Department of Personnel Administration. Cal-Taxletter
- California teachers easily the highest paid in the nation. National Education Association
- California now has the lowest bond ratings of any state, two steps above junk. The new rating affects about $72 billion of general obligation and lease-supported bonds. July 15 California bond rating cut again
- California ranks 44th worst in “2008 lawsuit climate.” Institute For Legal Reform
- California, a destitute state, still gives away college education at fire sale prices. California community college tuition is by far the lowest in the nation. Nationwide, the average community college tuition is 4.5 times higher than California CC’s. This ridiculously low tuition devalues education to students – resulting in a 30+% drop rate for class completion. Moreover, 2/3 of California CC students pay no tuition at all – filling out a simple unverified “hardship” form that exempts them from any tuition payment, or receiving grants and tax credits for their full tuition.

- California offers thousands of absolutely free adult continuing education classes. In San Diego, over 1,400 classes for everything from baking pastries to ballroom dancing are offered totally at taxpayer expense. San Diego Continuing Education
- California residential electricity costs 13.81 cents per kilowatthour. The national average is 6.99-8.49. US Department of Energy
- It costs 38% more to build solar panels in California than in Tennessee – which is why European corporations have invested $2.3 billion in two Tennessee manufacturing plants to build solar panels for our state. March 5, 2009 More Solar Companies Producing Elsewhere to Sell to California

There's a reason it's called the left coast.Excuse me?
Most of those reasons have nothing to do with conservatism or Republicanism and a lot to do with social liberalism. And it started before SHortzpecker got in.
I could probably take apart the rest of your fallacious arguments, but I don't feel like it.
In Canada Turdeau started the habit of big debt.
"But then the "religious right" would be without a home."
Of course, so would the immoral, atheist Left.
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.
