The Family is Not Broke.
The Republicans say that the family is broke. Well, it isn't. That is a lie..
.. There is a rich brother that has lots of money to donate to the family's problems. So his lawyer says he don't want to. Make him. He has got billions, make him help out the family. It ain't rocket science.
..No he may cry like a baby that he don't want to help, but the family and its good luck helped him to get rich. Make him help out those in the family that need it. If the family really is desperate and in crises, and it is a question of survival, like it was 70 years ago, (check out December 7, 1941) then everyone will understand, even if the brother cries like a baby that he don't want to help..Fuck Him.......

1. And the rich brother inherited the farm, threw everyone off the property
then grabbed everyone's bank accounts.

2. He is selfish beyond belief..and there are many brothers..
And it is very sad. But we all know he must be forced to help. He is to selfish to understand it.

3. A Different Argument
when I hear people say the government should balance its budget and/or tighten its belt "just like American families" I thought that it was hogwash.

Sure, if an American family has financial hardships, they may have to make some adjustments. But, if the roof is leaking, they are going to fix it. If their child has cancer and needs treatment not covered by insurance, they are going to get the life saving treatment for their child. If grandma loses her home, they are going to take her in and not leave her to die. Perhaps Mom or Dad will take a second job (if possible, if available). They'll likely go deeper into debt. And maybe they will cut back on other things like entertainment, or other small luxuries.

Of course, if they have a rich brother/uncle, he should do more to help, it's the ethical thing to do.

Of course, the arguments should be moot anyway. Unfortunately, it is easier to rely on analogies rather than trying to explain to the American people why you don't apply micro-economic principles to a macro-economic problem.

4. This entire puke arguement is based on this family view.
Edited on Mon Jul-18-11 07:24 AM by Stuart G
Yes, we can all tighten our belts, like the pukes say.
Their studies on how the public would react have motivated the pukes to take this stand. I believe that. Much money was spent on
focus groups and studies on how to go about this. The pukes have done that part of the homework assignment.

Sure, explaining micro-economis and how government can actually stimulate the econmy to revive itself is the way to go. That is the truth.. But it don't work for the most part. Too complex But in our guts, deep down, the family is not broke. If we stimulate the economy and take some cash from the rich brother, we will be ok. No matter what puke the pukes put out. We took that money before and we can take it again. Fuck Him.

and I might add this...the rich brother knows it.

6. We don't have all that many billionaires you know.
403. If you divide that by 300 million, each has to take care of 744,000.

7. 403 Billionairs, how many millionairs? How many people have incomes
of over $500,000 that could afford an extra 5 percent? That would be twenty five thousand more to the federal government on a $500,000 income. Selfish pukes. :puke:
