It's Conservative Economics That Breed Govt. Dependency, Liberal Economics Would Lower It.
With all of their talk about lowering govt dependency, conservative economics actually creates it. When your policies are about keeping wages low, slashing pensions, crushing unions, forced childbirth, cutting education, cutting healthcare, outsourcing jobs, destroying social benefit programs like SS and Medicare, allowing Wall St. to raid retirement savings, defunding investments in science and technology, infrastructure and transportation, starting endless wars, corporate welfare, and defunding America by giving tax breaks to the wealthy,
What my mole would say:
wages low? My consumer dollar will decide what wages are supposed to be.
slashing pensions? The last generation bought votes with promises the new generation can't afford to keep.
crushing unions? If not being forced to pay money to something I don't want to be a part of is "crushing" then I'm all for crushing.
forced childbirth? Did we also force recreational sex? You don't get to snuff innocent human life to subsidize irresponsible actions.
cutting education? No, we're cutting crony unionism.
cutting healthcare? It's your party that has now priced tens of millions of Americans out of the insurance market and is making it harder to seek care.
Outsourcing jobs? If you want to pay burger flippers $20 to be vocational equivalent of high-functioning retards their entire life then that will drive up labor throughout the economy thus making foreign labor more attractive.
destroying SS and Medicare? More promises made by previous generations to bribe their way into office while leaving later generations with bills they cannot afford.
allowing Wall St to raid retirement savings? That was a government function. More government just doubles the amount of poison we're drinking.
defunding investments in science? If it was viable you wouldn't need to ask for a grant, investors would be beating down your door. If you really need money for important stuff maybe you need to stop funding studies on how much men and women stare at women's breasts.
Infrastructure? Where the **** is all our money from the "Stimulus" you promised would be used to fix the infrastructure and put people to work? Since we're operating on 5 Continuing Resolutions you've gotten a new Stimulus every year. WHERE'S OUR MONEY YOU ****ING CROOKS?
starting endless wars? You mean like the 2 that just ended? And what planet do you live on anyway?
corporate welfare? That's a government function. Get government out of business and business out of government. Again, you just want us to drink twice as much poison.
defunding America? Liar. Tax receipts are at an all time high.
then like Bill Maher recently said, "if Colonel Sanders won't pay a living wage, then Uncle Sam is going to have to".
Because some unfunny comedian says so?
Lemme guess, Maher would bristle at the idea of a federally capped wage for the entertainment industry so the sexually harassed intern who brings him coffee can be paid a higher wage.
Conservative economics makes the American Dream practically unattainable. The conservative idea of the American Dream is: be born rich, and if you're not, then serve your corporate masters with hard labor and low wages.
On the other hand, Liberal economics would raise the living wage, therefore cutting govt. dependency, fund education, technology, and science, which would lead to a smarter, more productive and well paid work force. Making healthcare more accessible which would lead to a healthier population and further financial stability, both of which would also lower govt dependency.Strengthen SS and Medicare, pensions and retirement investments, which would lead to less of the population needing food assistance and welfare programs to get by in their senior years. Strengthening unions which allow for a thriving middle class earning decent wages. And of course, NO MORE WAR, which not only bankrupts our country, but creates far too many war veterans who not only have to use the already stretched VA medical, but because of low pay and possible disabilities, must also use far more govt assistance programs. Liberal economics makes the American Dream far more attainable, and not only for those born rich, but for all. And a thriving, educated, healthy workforce and population leads to much less govt dependency and far more tax revenue. Which not only makes our citizens physically happier, but mentally happier as well.
Your every solution is government imposed...
...but it reduces government reliance?
Note: I have absolutely no problem with my tax money going towards these social safety nets,
Because you're a stupid lying whore who really means: other people's money.
I actually prefer it any day over my tax money going for war or corporate subsidies,
Go create your liberal Ewe-topia sans military.
I double dog dare you.
BTW -- your ObamaCoup policy will die without government subsidies of the insurance companies.
because we are not playing by the rules of Liberal economics, we are still playing in this broken system of conservative trickle down economics, which has made our citizens far too thirsty due to lack of "trickling down". So as long as we're in this broken and obviously failed conservative economic system, I am all for helping those adversely effected by the negative effects of such a system and will fiercely defend those marginalized voices over pandering to the wealthy any day, 24/7 365. The conservative alternative would be to cut all assistance programs and let the people suffer. Conservatism is cannibalizing our country.
We must destroy them to save ourselves.
