Poor people have a lot of nice stuff that I don't have. I love going into section 8 rentals, they usually have nicer TV's than me, and lease newer Mercedes and Lexus. My favorite had a 48in plasma in every room, I can only hope to one day have such luxury through hard work. But in the mean time I'm happy my tax dollars are supporting such a lifestyle for other people.

Socialism? No I don't like socialism it rewards leaches; I'm a big fan of the work or starve system, dog eat dog, or in some cases shark eat dog. Voting for socialism is just being afraid of the big fish in the pool and wanting to stay in the kiddie pool.

Right now half the country doesn't pay taxes and that's a shame.

So you prefer dog eat dog over one person helping another ?

How does socialism reward leaches, in your example capitalism is rewarding the leaches.

I too thought I could be a big shark in the ocean, and then AT&T taught me I was still a little fish in the kiddie pool.

That little lesson cost me nearly $150,000.00

You and I will never ever be the big fish.
There is a far better chance of winning the lottery multiple times
than competing with the multinational corporations that are taking over our democracy.

But I wish you all the luck in the world.

Logic sucks when it has you painted in a corner...and there's no way to get out of that...

Bush gave the money away. TARP

The rest is "supposed" to be returned to us.
And a good deal of it has been.

Reality sucks when it has you painted into a corner... and bla, bla, bla.

A Democratic Congress voted for the TARP Bail-out...otherwise...it wouldn't have happened.

You're not paying attention in class again, Mr. RichC!

Here's the lesson, one more time...


President yaks...

Congress grants monies/rejects expenditures...

President pisses/moans/congratulates...

SCOTUS re-writes/edicts...

Class dismissed!
