You know what they say about assuming.
Whatever you say champ. Guess weâll have to agree to disagree.
Well I was giving you the benefit of the doubt Mr. Fury⊠The alternatives are that you didnât understand it or you purposely ignored it. He was mocking people recovering from a huge natural disaster many of whom are dead or without homes and doing it in an intellectually idiotic way to boot.
Or, (again), itâs simply a shot at people who were very vocal about NOT helping other states in times of crisis (hurricanes) while wanting help themselves when the time came. You seem to be under the assumption that only your interpretations of something are whatâs valid, and not only are others not valid, but they donât exist.
Guess weâll have to agree to disagree.
Getting some of your own tax money back from the federal government that took it is EXACTLY what a fiscal conservative would want. As already pointed out by others if you are right wing enough to consider taxes stolen money, your point is that they shouldnât accept back the money stolen from them. Itâs idiotic. If it shouldnât have been taken from them of course they should accept it returned to stay consistent with their own beliefs. Nor do I know of any large number of people who were against hurricane relief for other states. Certainly not all Texans who were accused here.
Regardless. People are dead. shut the F up with the pedantic political point scoring.
It is still not but I guess that wonât keep you from insisting it.
It can be whatever you want to make it I guess.
I think the alt right would say youâre acting like a snowflake. Oh no more political points attempting to be scored every post is me lining up for a political three pointer.
But yes 0 to do with deaths of innocents. By your logic all of your posts dealing with the military through these years are political point scoring over deaths.
Cmon man. Move on. Quit trying to make a post that didnât say anything like that be what you want. But Iâm just some random dude. Were you writing to the Texas legislators who voted against Sandy relief? Were you in an uproar of them making political points over deaths? Damn I even said I was fine with fiscal conservatives asking for needed help. Not so fine with those same people voting against help because it didnât hit them.
Consider the NK problem solvedâŠ
You mocked people who died and are suffering from a massive natural disaster. The âvoted against sandy reliefâ thing is a total crock. The bill voted against wasnât about sandy relief, it was pork spending with sandy relief tacked on to get the pork spending passed. Votes against the bill were votes against politicians using sandy relief as a political tool to get pet projects passed. Something totally unconscionable. All the same people you are talking about were PRO sandy relief without using the suffering of others as a political tool.
Again all your ignorance aside, there is a difference between not people PC and just plain being an ignorant asshole. You are the latter.
Priceless observation! LOL
Damn, where do I sign up!
The âmarketsâ respond to a pithy, shaky little thing called confidence. Policy wonât do shit if the markets are not confident in the future. Nobody invested more into the economy than FDR and his policies made very little difference in the overall depression. It wasnât until war preparations demanded labor and lots of it, did the market forces start to get confident in the future of the economy.
The markets are bullish on deregulation and tax relief, which gives them the confidence to move forward with future projects that they may have been holding on to for a while. Basically, government can most definitely hurt economy, but they cannot make the economy bullish. It can provide protection, but it cannot give people confidence in spending. And spending is the key, from Joe the Plumber to Google, money has to be spent for economic outlooks to seem bullish.
The one thing I was hoping I would see Obama do, after the smoke had cleared from the 2008 recession was start to identify and prosecute the foul players, especially in the âto big to failâ companies. Rather than just fill their coffers with billions in relief money. I realize that was a chess match of sorts. There were a lot of uncertainties, but we know there were some unsavory individuals, doing some unsavory shit. And those folks, should have been arrested and prosecuted.
I know a Republican would not do such a thing, but I thought a Democrat might. I mean, give that job to Elizabeth Warren, she would salivate at the chance to go after those guys.
I am very far from her politically, but the dressing down she gave the Wells-Fargo CEO was a beautiful sight. Her finest hour.
Um, yeah I read what she wrote. Fuck her. She might as well have pulled the trigger.
Didnât mock people who died. Read better. It was a tongue in check comment about some Texans who want no part of our great union. It wasnât directed at anyone who died or hurricane victims. Youâre acting like I pissed on the tomb of the unknown soldier.
My aunt lives in Houston and I have already donated money. Youre bending over backwards to try and make it about dead people for whatever reason
Laws donât apply to politicians and rich people (nearly always). Taxes being the major exception. Thereâs no way anyone was ever going to be prosecuted in the system we have.
You said âTexansâ. Even then there are certainly secessionist/small government activist victims either dead or without homes. And even then your criticism is totally ignorant as already pointed out.
Damn snowflakes man. Always finding a way to play the victim and get upset about what other people say.
Like I said it was a tongue in check remark not intended to act like I didnât give a shit about dead people or victims. Which only you apparently would have immediately leapt to that conclusion. And you have no idea what any of the deceased thought about secessionism so stop trying to âscore political points there.â
The taxation is theft and we want to secede have many things in common. Namely that when they are in their air conditioned homes on the internet they say they donât want government involvement. The moment that house catches on fire they want the fire department to put it out and they want the ambulance to be there in no time to drive them on public roads to the hospital where the doctor will save their life before seeing if they can afford it.
âOh no you hate people who have burning homes and are in the hospital!â
But sure continue to take whatever you want out of my words and claim Iâm for whatever you want.
AHAH!! got me. Iâm a total snowflake. Itâs like youâve know me inside and out.
Assholes going to asshole.
