You know what Mach, this shaq is getting real old real fast. People here are asking thoughtful questions, discussing the nuaces behind some of these claims, and thinking for themselves.

You are insulting us as some collection of ignorant plebs and posting links to google searches.

If anyone here is not thinking for themselves, it's you.

Loopholes....

My main question is why do liberals care if people or companies get to keep more of their own money? Seems like letting folks keep more of what they earned would be agreed in by everyone.

Awesome. Capitalism is economic Darwinism. That’s what is best. Good companies thrive. Bad companies adapt to become good ones or they go out of business.

I tell myself just to worry about me. Me personally I have never had it as good, but I worry about the future. We are well on the path to straight fascism. When will labor get a win? The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Middle class shrinks.

Hate the game not the player.

I figured out that the Democrats had still failed to buy a clue when they talked about forcing a government shutdown over the "dreamers". I'm sympathetic to their plight but I'm not casting a vote for anyone based on where they stand on that issue and the only people who would are so hardcore for or against they are locked in votes for their current party.

How's the head feeling this morning Mach?

My guess is because several of the main pillars of the democrat party’s platform are envy, class warfare, “you didn’t build that”, and wealth redistribution as they see fit.

That is the crux of it......they are trying their damndest to become the pigs that "are more equal".......they choose the winners and losers, and of course, they are way on the winning side.

I have no clue whats happening in this thread anymore.... we went from playing football to playing golf....

Well see what had happened was that Mach is using the Dem talking points and instead of defending his point he tells you to Google it yourself. Everyone is blind but Mach who's currently drinking Bourbon that's been aged at sea or so he's been told since it costs about $50/fifth.

He'd be drinking vodka if that's the case.

I have some $50 bourbon, but it wasn't aged at sea. It was aged in a single barrel in Kentucky. And I got it on sale for $30.

The bourbon was about the only thing interesting Mach posted in this drunken tirade.

I haven't done my full research on it but I often wondered how they aged it at sea.

But hey whatever floats your goat.

What a hypocrite. Doesn't he realize that the $50 bourbon is putting money in Conservative pockets. Cons drink bourbon, Libs drink wine...for the most part. Anyway, that's how it is with my friends.
