It's such a pleasure to know they're not allowed on DU, at least not for long. If they join DU, they have to remain silent. The moment they subscribe and spew their venom, they get punted back to their hellhole where they can fester their little black hearts out.
Actually Sarah, it doesn't matter weather or not we spew venom or not. You act like we are the hateful ones, you really need to just sit back and take a look at DU3 one day. If you don't see all the hateful post's there, then your sight is so skewed there isn't anything anybody can say that you would even consider. Anyway, what I was saying is if we even tried to have decent debate at DU we would be banned, I have seen long time DUmmies get posts deleted and or banned just because they disagreed with the majority.
I am the "middle Class" and actually low middle class at that. I can tell you one thing, I won't be very long. A little back story: My parents started dirt poor, and we were poor my whole life. It wasn't until after I left home that my mother found a very successful career. I would say she makes between $200,000-$275,000 a year. Do you know how much she paid in taxes last year? ~$89,000... And I think I am off a few thousand, its probably in the ninety's. So over a third of her income went to the government. You could probably care less... Do you know how many people she employees? About 5, WOW!!!! A rich repug does create jobs???? What? Say it ain't so.
I could go on and on and on.
My uncle grew up with an outhouse in his backyard in a poor part of MS. He now owns several 5 star hotels. Do you know how many people he employees? ~500... OMG!!! Another rich repug creating jobs. Do you know how he started? Washing dishes in a Holiday Inn. I don't even want to know how many 100's of thousands he has paid in taxes.
I say all this to say, we... the poor, middle, and upper middle vote for what is best for us. Because when I finally get this promotion I don't want to pay nearly %35 in taxes. Because when my mother and father finally do die, which is probably ~50 years from now, I shouldn't have to give 50% of that to a government that is so thick in bureaucracy it cost $4.00 for every $1.00 they redistribute of our taxes my mother and father worked their butt off for what they have and already paid the government a few times over. Same with my uncle and his family, and me and my kids when I die.
We vote for what is best for us, we want less government, less taxes, more work, more personal responsibility, we love our guns, we love our religion and yours, for that matter, whatever it may be.
We love Freedom.Edit: And guess what? My Parents and Uncle in the above story give thousands upon thousands to the needy. My parents have taken in homeless families since I was a kid, even when we were poor. My mother cooks for the elderly and sick a couple times a month. Also my father travels around the world on his dime and donations doing charity work. I guarantee you my parents have done more with their money for the needy, homeless, sick, and elderly than the government has done with the 100's of thousands the government has taken from them through taxes.
Sarah, please get a clue.
