Reply #12: Well, if Reagan and Bush* balanced their budgets... The 20% of tax [View All]

[Deja Q]

currently collected wouldn't be needed to pay back the debt and could go back to the people or provide other services.

Republicans are exterminating this country for all but their special interests (big business).

And quite wilfully as, by getting us this much into debt, it gives them the excuse to say that the government is spending too much. "Too much" meaning all those social programs people need. As a result, they get cut. Swing voters and many Americans still haven't grasped this horrible, horrible reality.

They're killing off lots of aspects of America which benefit all but big business and the big corporate executives. Their hatred of and the callousness toward the working class only makes me more hateful and callous of them in return. The wealthy/corporate element are engaging in something that makes Hitler's treatment of the Jews and (perceived homosexuals) look like a romantic summertime picnic by comparison. At least the Jews got a quick death. The pukes want the rich to remain rich by eliminating our jobs or setting up a situation where we, the working class, get paid much less for what we do. And then there's the poor and homeless situations; these are people they hate far more than any other group.

And don't forget. Big corporations like wal-mart (and others) have extermined towns and such by moving into a new area, mercilessly killing off the "mom'n'pop" businesses with their "lower prices" (or perceived appearance of lower prices), and then suddenly realizing the area they just moved into isn't "economically viable" due to an unsurprisingly small customer base so they move out. The result is such upheaval that the town does not survive. This has been documented, even on "60 Minutes" - you know, that liberal "tv magazine" show. You think these big corporations have Estimators and other positions which analyze the areas they intend to move into... :eyes: Personally, such corporations are simply callous, greedy, and malicious.

A lifetime of misery, poverty, and the associated pain is what the pukes want for the majority of us. The prevalence and dominance of big business makes the small business' ability to survive virtually impossible, yet alone thrive... (as a small business, I could make $40/hr or more for what I do. But Best Buy, CompUSA, etc, provide the same service for less, pay their employees much less, and have better advertisement and much better coverage. I have no hope - and the employees who do the same work for "much less" know it too.) Dunno how you feel about the issue, but to me poverty and misery a fate worse than death.
