Barack Obama is a very generous man, with other people’s money.

As Joe Biden said,
“It’s the patriotic thing to do.”
“And if you don’t believe in patriotism, just remember, this damn gun is loaded.”

Even though very little of the money spent on welfare makes its way to the recipiants, that little bit often does more harm than good. Welfare has become a subsidy for behaviors that harm individuals and hurt this country.

That is so true… I have said this all along… it’s not enough more money to make a difference… the middle class will see NO extra money… only the low income will get a bigger “check”… which is only enough to keep the poor, poor… you need hardwork and determination to make something of yourself and I hate to say it but most of those who will see any money are those who have absolutly no motivation… just as long as they have some new kicks (sneakers) and some drinks for the weekend… they are good to go… so it only fuels the situation… I do NOT believe I should have to give any more money than I already do to those who don’t contribute to the system already… it’s ludicrous!!!!

Why the hell do you think that domestic automakers are being driven into the ground you idiot.

Go check the employment costs of the competition. An autoworker’s labor costs more in Japan and Europe than it does here, “you idiot.”

Obviously, you’ve been sucking on a Union Breast for a while.

I have never been a member of a union.

When unemployment skyrockets,(like You without a Job) because Companies move fron the U.S. enmass trying to keep expenses in line from High Taxes.

The correct phrase is en masse. In your screech, you incorrectly capitalized the words “You,” “Job,” “High,” and “Taxes.” Oh, and tell me something: Where is Wal-Mart going to move? To Canada?

Even George Mcgovern [sic] calls that undemocratic.

Who cares what George McGovern thinks?

I’m okay with our ever so mildly progressive tax structure, and with the estate tax

I would strongly disagree with your statement that our tax system is “mildly progressive.” Under our current system, the lowest 30 percent pay no income taxe, and many get a government subsidy called the Earned Income Tax Credit.

The problem these days is that unions are virtually extinct in the private sector. That’s why Obama’s card signing plan for unionization is such a great idea. I think this will be one of the first things to be enacted, and I think it’ll be great for the country.

Obama’s card signing scheme is an invitation to abuse and bullying. What it essentially allows unions to target individuals until they finally submit.

I’ve spent a bit of time in Europe, where unions rule the roost. Their economies are doing a lot worse than ours. Why? Because their union dominated economies can’t adjust to changes in the marketplace. As a result, a lot of qualified 30 year olds can’t get a job, and end up living at home until they’re middle aged. When I was single I was encourged to go to Italy and find a wife, because so many Italian men my age couldn’t afford to get married.

I think labor unions are a much better redistributive mechanism.

We don’t need any redistributive mechanism…period. The fact is that the marketplace provides all the distribuive mechanism that’s needed.

We’re a choice based society.

Kids in school can choose to study, or choose to slack off. Those who chose to study hard will make more money. Thos who slack off will make less money. Those kids who are busting their asses studying shouldn’t have to subsidize those who would rather listen to their i-pods and party.

Women have a choice to have kids before they are are married and economically stable and married, or have kids when they are unmarried and can’t afford them. Those who choose to wait until they are married and financially able to care for children should not be forced to subsidaze those who make poor choices.

People have a choice to do work that is more demanding, or work that is less demanding. Those who do jobs that are more demanding almost always make more than jobs that are less demanding. Those people who choose to become actuaries or doctors shouldn’t be forced to subsidize someone who wants to do a kick back job.

When you redistribute

It’s always people like Magic Dog who want to stick it to the “rich.” What exactly is “rich,” MD? According to BO, I’m rich. Funny how I am desperately trying to keep my business open, so that I can actually pay to keep my employees, being rich and all. By taking away more of my money you are only hurting the people who work for me. They would like to keep their jobs. And this bs that we need this union card signing deal. That is just thuggery. It invites union people the opportunity to go to the homes of the workers who oppose and bully them. Read some real history, Mad Dog. We have had people that opposed the unions beaten, their families threatened, even their houses burned down. I don’t want to have my hard-earned dollars taken from me so that people w/o any incentive to do better on their own can continue to draw checks and sit on their asses. It is nothing more than class-envy he is trying to stir up. He is the one causing divide in this country, not bringing people together. Making jokes and mocking what socialism and communism are, comparing it to sharing toys and sandwichs by children is not in the least funny. People who have fled their home countries to get away from this are probably beyond shocked. Mad Dog, you sound like someone who is a total under-achiever. This country is great because it allows anyone to have the American Dream, through hard work, not by whining and sticking their hands out for freebies someone else has earned.

Obama trotted out that line about being a communist because he shared his toys and peanut butter sandwiches as a kid

Truth be told, Obama was probably profiled out by the school bully for a daily wedgie if Barry didn’t give up his PBJ’s. Obama sounds like the kind of neighbor who asks to borrow your lawn mower, then turns around and gives it to another neighbor just to make him look like he’s a good guy.

“Magic Dog” works his magic with the facts, I’m okay with our ever so mildly progressive tax structure…

“Ever so mildly”:

The problem these days is that unions are virtually extinct in the private sector. That’s why Obama’s card signing plan for unionization is such a great idea.

“Great idea” = no more anonymous balloting. Instead, intimidation and bullying.

We need Wal-Mart to be organized, and then we need some strikes. That’s the way to redistribute the wealth, and it can’t come too soon.

Goodbye freedom, hello intimidation and bullying.

No, I think we’ve got to redistribute, or there’ll be too much concentration at the top. If you have a mass production economy, you need to also create the means consume its output or it will collapse. That was the lesson of the 1920s, and it was slowly forgotten.

Please explain the “lesson of the 1920s”.

Right wingers hate unions because they have the illusion that wealth and income can be concentrated without consequence.

You do not look good when you attempt to speak for others. It just makes you look like an ass.

Yeah, well, once Obama gets in, those same people are going to be a lot freer to join a union.

No. We’ll be a lot less freer to say “no” to unions.

Magicdog:

The reason unions are a good mechanism is that they are industry-specific. Unions that represent highly productive industries, i.e., the U.S. automakers before they were outcompeted by everyone else, can negotiate high wages, while those that represent relatively unproductive workers (Service Employees), can negotiate moderate wages.

Why the hell do you think that domestic automakers are being driven into the ground you idiot. It’s because of the extortionistic demands placed upon them by the UAW. Have you noticed at all that it’s the most heavily unionized industries that are in the most trouble right now? I thought not. Say no to democrats and say no to unions.

Yeah, well, once Obama gets in, those same people are going to be a lot freer to join a union.

Magic dog,… I said, “get a Clue”,.. not the Flu..

Obviously, you’ve been sucking on a Union Breast for a while.
When unemployment skyrockets,(like You without a Job) because Companies move fron the U.S. enmass trying to keep expenses in line from High Taxes.. Good luck on your Job search.

This Obama is the old time Snake Oil salesman. I’ve said it before. Raise the tax on the rich and they raise the cost of their services. Which costs the middle class more to hire them. The Government is happy because they make more in taxes, the rich are happy because they make more money, the poor are happy because the Obama government will give them more for free. And the middle class gets screwed again.
How come not one time has Obama said he would make government smaller. Oh..he did say he would take a scaple to the budget. What…save $3 dollars somewhere. We need to take an axe to the budget. A vote for Obama is a vote for less money in your pocket within 2 years. What idiots……

Selfish?

These statements are highly insulting and deeply offensive to the citizens of the country he wishes to preside over!!

It’s always easier to give away other peoples money.

Have we forgotten that, as a nation, we dole out the MOST foreign aid of the world’s nations?

From condoms to wheat, from medicine to educational material, from a to z, no other nation can match what we provide each year.

This beyond what we give through private donations! Also THE MOST IN THE WORLD!!!

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!

Whose Illegal-Alien, deportation fugitive, Auntie, lives in a slum in Boston?

Yours? Mine?

Nope!

B-Hussein-Obama’s!

We’re a selfish people? Not one bit!

So FUCK YOU Barry-O!

…..and your Communist, Ass-Clown, Groupies!

You know the whole thing about when you point out somebody being an idiot you have three fingers pointing back at you, well, here ya go:

General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG’s Chrysler Group officials say that closing a roughly $25-an-hour labor cost gap between Detroit and Japanese rivals will be a key issue in talks with the United Auto Workers this summer.

The three American automakers generally pay about 30 percent more per hour in wage, pension and health care costs than Japanese automakers.

Ford, according to its annual report, paid $70.51 per hour in wages and benefits to workers last year. GM’s annual report says its labor costs average $73.26 per hour, while Chrysler’s costs average $75.86 — all well above the average $48 hourly cost incurred by Toyota, Honda and Nissan.

How about not even f’ing close.

The left thinks wealth is a constant that doesn’t have to be generated. Like the US mint produces X amount of dollars and then passes it out to the rich people and they just screw the people at the bottom. What do you expect from a bunch of morons who couldn’t make it past the first week of Econ 101 when you talk about incentive, opportunity costs, and utility.

Please, can we have more unions. The three most screwed-up industries in the United States are being run into the ground by unions: education, the airlines, and the automotive industry. Don’t get stuck on stupid, Magic.

Go to 13:46 on the audio to hear just how selfish you really are.

^ not to keep repeating myself, but I’ll say it once again, as a whole the laziest labor you’ll ever find wears a free tee shirt to work baring the union logo.

So if you don’t want government confiscating your earnings and giving it away, but you pay taxes, provide for your family (and some not immediate), and donate to charity your selfish? Oh, and unpatriotic?

What a hypocrite. If he could see his own selfishness with his aunt and brother, then maybe he could help other’s with similar selfish tendencies. As it is Obama just sounds foolish.

Yeah, well, once Obama gets in, those same people are going to be a lot freer to join a union.

How are they going to be freer after Obama takes away their right to a secret ballot.

All Obama is going to do is to enable union activists to bully them.
