Why do dems want the government to be their daddy?

Question

They believe that if we raise taxes and just go to work to pay higher taxes that the government will give everything to you, free healthcare, free welfare, free everything. We cant get the things we need on our own despite the fact that it has been working for over 230 years.

They think socialism is different from communism and that having the government nationalize everything and just paying to a centralized fund which si teh government and leave the wealth re-distribution to them.


Why do you want Hillary to be your new daddy?

"We don't necessarily need tax raises.

We need to quit wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on war in another country! "


Are you aware that even in peace time the military uses over half of that???

And the only reason that money has been authorized to be borred and then spent is because of a war, were there not a war we would not be able to obtain that money?

.

"So centralization is bad? That's odd for a right-winger to say. Isn't most of the country's wealth in the hands of a few rich men? And is it surprising that they vote Republican or are in the Republican party itself? "




- Yah bro its called the real world, we are not all created equal. Some are more hard-working, and obtain better education instead of doing drugs, therefore they get rich. There are just less smart people than stupid people.

And successfull, educated people with work ethic DO vote Republican.

"Actually, dems just really want to raise taxes to pay for your boy Bush's war. Are you going to blame a democrat for raising taxes to pay for the Iraq war? Or do you think someone else should pay for that? "



Lol, they keep DENYIGN funding unless Bush also approves all the added pork like millions for peanut storage and a bunch of otehr stupid items and a timetable for withdrawl. They did this because they knew he wouldnt pass it, he told them!

Bush is trying to pay for the war, and raise in taxes is not even on the table.

Answer 1

Why do Republicans want the government to be the Sex Police? The Preacher? The Welfare System for Corporations?

You have just misrepresented the Democratic Party, which is par for the course.

Answer 2

Oh come on. I'm no screaming Democrat, and not a Republican either. And even I can see that Both are necessary. The Dems push us towards a more "Socially Responsible" way of Living, and the Rep. push us towards Living under the slavery of the Corporations. Neither, in and of themselves are worth a ****! So we need both to push against each other so the rest of us can live somewhere in between. The system sucks, but it does happen to be the best one around, so we deal with it. Throughout your life you'll see all kinds of examples of people who just cannot be held to the rule of the Corporations, with the calenders and schedules and want of anything and everything to be based on Money... check out CEO Pay these days. 1 Guy on Wall Street is making $32,000.00 an hour! That's more than 10s of 1000's make in a year in this Country! And if they're lft unchecked (the Corp.s) we'll end up having a copy of the French Revolution. So instead, our system will swing the other way, feeding the Poor and taking from the Rich. Not really that big of a deal to someone raking in 10's of Million of Dollars a year compared to someone who's hurt or damaged in some way or another or maybe they just live in an area where there's no jobs available. If you just let em starve... they turn into suicide bombers... nobody wants that!

Answer 3

TANSTAAFL -- There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. How can we trust such psychopaths with our money, which we work our butts off to earn? You are absolutely right. I wish people like you were more numerous and vocal.

Mr. Chomsky -- assuming that is you several posts up the line -- centralization is bad. Wealth is not concentrated in the hands of the few; if you hadn't noticed, most Americans are living like kings compared to the common folk of the days of the true oligarchy. Please tell me, how would that be possible if the common man is so poor and depraved, while the rich man is wealthy beyond anyone's wildest dreams? At any rate, this question points out that we could very easily obtain many of the services which it is evidently necessary for government to provide, on our own over the course of this nation's history. Why must that change now? Instead of lowering the successful to the level of the poor, thereby elevating the administrators of such a program to elite status, why not encourage people to raise themselves to the level of the elite? That will solve the poverty issue and your supposed equality gap with one stroke. Incidentally, how wealthy are you, Mr. Chomsky?

And the thought of Hillary as my mother is terrifying. As my father -- well, I won't go there.

Answer 4

The comment about Dems raising taxes to pay for the war is rediculous. Out of one side of their mouth they tell you that we can't afford the war and out of the other they tell you how they'd spend the same money we can't afford - mostly through their failed government social programs. One term limits for Congress and a national flat tax rate would go far in allowing this country to survive for a while longer.

Answer 5

Say your relatively educated and you never voted Republican.

You watch your countries tax dollars and investment monies fly overseas in pallets of hundred dollar bills and then "POOF" they disappear.

In the meantime, you watch the National Debt go from a 3 trillion dollar surplus to a 9 trillion dollar deficit.

You watch U.S. poverty rates go from a 23 year low to a 32 year high in the course of one Administration.

You see the taxes paid by the Fortune 500 companies on their profits go from 30% to 5% and in some cases 0% depriving our Government of 30% of it's overall tax revenues in the course of one Administration.

And even as production and work hours for U.S. workers goes up---wages remain stagnant or decline and in some cases the jobs attached to them disappear overseas.

If I was your daddy--you'd be over my knee!! You would definitely comprehend the concept of voting against your own best interest.

Answer 6

Both sides seem to want to parent us, just in different ways.

The Republicans want to legislate morality. Fascfiter is right about the right-wing's sex-police but wants to ignore that you are also right about the left-wing's desire for a nanny government.

Actually, I believe liberals have a desire for a Utopia but are closer to creating an Orwellian society.

Answer 7

We believe that the government is us "We the People" that we are all in this together and the government is not some boogie man out to get us. Taxes are an investment in your country, don`t you love your country? Are you not patriotic? Or is it every man for himself? We believe in social safety nets that help our fellow American back up after they fall down. We do however fight so you have the wages to pay taxes.

Answer 8

Actually, dems just really want to raise taxes to pay for your boy Bush's war. Are you going to blame a democrat for raising taxes to pay for the Iraq war? Or do you think someone else should pay for that?

Answer 9

So centralization is bad? That's odd for a right-winger to say. Isn't most of the country's wealth in the hands of a few rich men? And is it surprising that they vote Republican or are in the Republican party itself?

Answer 10

Its about power and control for them. People giving to charity isn't good enough b/c people can choose to give or not or to whom to give and why. If the govt taxes for 'mandatory' charity the liberals feel *they* can determine who, why, and how much 'charity' should be given. Individual Will does not compute with social engineering. (allows for troublesome things like resistance) and besides, if liberals tax and appropriate 'generosity" *they* get credit for giving *your* money. Talk about buying support with other ppls money.
