This might not be the same but I have a very close friend who is a total obama loving, Demoncratic loving Lib who just hates to tip in a restaurant. It's puzzling because that's what his party advocates. Give to others…but with someone else's money.

You sure you're on the right thread?

That said, I don't like the idea of tipping either. I do it, I just don't like it.

Not following.... I've not seen that Democrats advocate tipping. I've seen exactly the opposite. Tipping would involve them spending their OWN money.

The reality is that only time a liberal reaches across the aisle tax wise is to reach into my conservative pocket for more taxes..

Most government taxation and spending, (especially in one-party cities like Minneapolis and Saint Paul and, really, in de facto one-party states like Minnesota) exists primarily to take wealth from the producing class and give it away. And they give it away not so much to people who need it as much as back to the political class.

As I like to tell a certain other poster with some regularity, if there isn't enough money for the poor, or for the government, or for the growth policies you desire, you can pay more!

Please ensure your checks indicate "to support the bloated Federal Government" in the memo field.
Bureau of the Public Debt Department G P.O. Box 2188 Parkersburg, West Virginia 26106-2188

Plus, don't forget to file a simple 1040 and put the amount of your income, the amount of tax your owe, compute the difference, and pay at your full rate.

You won't do this though, will you?

I've informed the leftists of this before when they are calling for us to give more and they seem to ignore it. Like always they are willing to talk the talk but not walk the walk.

When YOU want to take my hard earned money and give it to someone who didn't earn it then you are a leftist.

Exhibit A

No, he's exactly right. That is what defines the left. Takers. Do you want to take from me and give to someone who did not earn what I have labored to produce? Then you are of the left. That's really all it boils down to.

Sigh. Why is it folks on the right always act as if they're the only ones who pay taxes and it's always THEIR money and THEIR labor.

At least he corrected his mistake, which is more than can be said about you leftists when it comes to your boilerplate gun control talking points you trot out every time there is a mass shooting and get proven to be false time and time again.

sorry, but as a centrist that agrees with the both of yaz on economics......

erc is a simpleton propaganda nazi....

there's no other way to look at it....his passion disgusts me in rhetoric....it's the wrong way to fight the battle IMO....it defines the way the masses view the 'sip.....and it's not like that anymore....wtfe.....

however, yep....he did admit it....

Funny.....don't recall you calling out Lazytom, gsu, johnnyzero, etc. when they were taking the suffering of the folks in Orlando and trying to score political points.

I wonder why you wouldn't call out the leftists when they do it but jump on a conservative when they do, what with you being a moderate and all.

He is anything but a moderate. He vounteers his time to be active in the Dem campaigns. His words not mine.

I'm a Democrat, do you expect me to volunteer in Republican campaigns? The Democratic Party is a big tent party. We have progressives, moderates, liberals, business conservatives centrists but I don't think any of those labels really work very well. Most people are a blend of differing positions. Moderate probably fits me more than any of the other labels. I don't normally take extreme positions and am very pragmatic.
