          Disclosure statements last week revealed that a couple dozen rich folks donated ~50% of the money to Super PAC's for the republican primary.... but the great fascist threat to the USA is food stamps?

          What books have you been reading

              ObamaCo is a mix of Marxism/Statism/Fascism , although it would be Fascism in the purest sense

                    If you think the police are going to make it in time to save you when an intruder is kicking down your front door, you are gonna be in for a rude awakening. Plus it technically isn't their job.

                    Just one example: Warren v. District of Columbia

                    The three women sued the District of Columbia for failing to protect them, but D.C.'s highest court exonerated the District and its police, saying that it is a "fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen."
                    Bolding is mine

                    It is your responsibility to protect your family and yourself.

                      How do you figure? They have no money - their only political influence is their vote. The poor and uneducated don't vote.

                          46.3 million people living the AMERICAN DREAM!!!

                          DUHMURIKA is nothing but a bad joke, a nation in severe decline. The only reason why you're not rioting like the Greeks is because you're a bunch of pussies that live in a POLICE STATE. You'd rather shell out $1 TRILLION to kill Bin Laden than invest that money within your own borders. You can now be detained in the US without being charged and be held indefinitely if they consider you a "terrorist"!!! Land of the free?!?!?! MY FUKKIN ASS!!!

                          And why is Uhmurika the self proclaimed greatest nation in the world again?!?!? HAHAHAHAH SUCKERS!!!!!

                              (Reuters) - The Greek parliament approved a deeply unpopular austerity bill to secure a second EU/IMF bailout and avoid national bankruptcy, as buildings burned across central Athens and violence spread around the country.

                              Cinemas, cafes, shops and banks were set ablaze in central Athens as black-masked protesters fought riot police outside parliament.

                                  46.3 million Americans on food stamps, there are 33 million total people living in Canada.
                                  your are kidding arent you? or are you serious in which case i have to ask - were you born that ignorant or do you have to work at it? if you think living on food stamps is such a great deal why dont you go on down and get them.

                                  keep voting republican goober and we will all be on the street. when clinton left office every store front you passed had a help wanted sign on it, salaries were rising, and everyone was working. ten years of conservative incompetence and you see what we have.

                                  maybe you can get the cons to outlaw your girlfriends birth control while your at it - bet you'd like that just fine wouldnt you, sure you would - thats some real big brother government.

                                  all you know how to do is bitch and whine, get over it.

                                    that means 64% of the stimulus was in the form of TAX RAISES which means overall Obama INCREASED TAXES with the stimulus by 28% (64-36=28 incase you arent smart enough to figure that one out)!!!!

                                    yeah REAL FUKKIN SMART raise taxes in a recession!

                                    and then when you raise taxes what happens the DEFICIT INCREASES yeah REAL FUKKIN SMART AGAIN

                                      The "deficit" is the difference between spending and income... so by raising taxes you raise income and make the deficit smaller... (assuming you don't raise spending as well)

                                      But you're wrong about 64% of the stimulus being tax raises. We used borrowed money for 100% of the stimulus, so it just added to the debt and deficit. It made the deficit larger, but not because taxes were raised - it made the deficit larger because taxes were lowered. It sounds like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how taxes and spending work.

                                          In the average gallon of gas sold in the US, Exxon averages 2 cents of profit per gallon, while the government gets an average of 48 cents per gallon.



                                          Who is really taking the public for a ride?

                                          And Exxon will make about 8% margin while Apple makes about 40%. Hope you're piping in from an Apple product, retard.
                                          Hilarious. Ran Paul had this number at 7 cents when it was proved to be wrong and you have it at the neo-con talking point of two cents what does it feel like to be controlled by people who laugh at u behind ur back?

                                            Probably many posters on here collect food stamps as well. If the books would acccept the EBT card, no doubt people would deposit that way also.

                                                  How many of those people really can work but choose not to?

                                                    The only thing that's exploding are waistlines.

                                                    Would really like one of you people who weep on the poor's behalf to describe all the starving faces of poverty-stricken American neigborhoods.

                                                    Principle #2: blame "the rich".

                                                      A freeloading no talent KROQ comedy intern who had the job cuz of family connections and only got on TV because his **** buddy Jimmy Kimmel had even bigger family connections. ....So a 1%er "entertainer" is disrespecting a large community of people who never had his breaks, even though he is no more talented than ....well....probably 99% of them.

                                                      Corolla and Kimmel are both worthless trust fund entertainers. Sad for the nation when lack of talent is rewarded to this extent. I'm guessing Kimmel has a bit more brains than to lose focus on the gifts he's received based only on birth than jackass Corolla though. ....I doubt Silverman would let him be this level of hypocritical douchebag at this point.

                                                                Well, they have bought into the tired old line of "they are the job creators". I owned a business and no amount of tax breaks were gonna get me new customers. Money in peoples pockets were gonna get me the customers. This the eno-con thinkers haveyet to figure out. The economy starts to improved when the greedy start complaining because they are to greedy to realize that their smashing of the middle class creates this mess. Walmart starting giving shit to the oil companies about six months ago and gas prices starting to decline. Operation run Obama out of town is now underway tho with the gas prices getting ready to hit all time highs. The economy started showing a little life so the oil companies are gonna put a halt to that. Only in this country can a greedy rich asshole somehow get a clueless middle class asshole fighting against another middle class person and laugh all the way to the bank.

                                                                      You anti-establishment heroes in this thread probably pay a combined $0.00 a year in taxes.

                                                                      Again, Adam Corolla has you nailed: envy and shame. You resent the hell out of what others have because you have no game of your own. So rally around the "everybody wins" style of government.

                                                                      Well, I got news for you. The fundamental problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money to spend.

                                                                      In 3 years Obama turned a $10 trillion deficit into a $16 trillion deficit. And his only solution to anything is spend more. Game over, Barack.
