things I will never understand

[wehav]

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

I hear ya man. Farmers bitchin about ARC, PLC, ABC, Crop Insurance, Pollinator, NRCS...on and on.

Why the hail can they not stand on their own 2 feet ???

That is what I was thinking when I was reading that list judge.

Farmers complaining about 'socialism' while they go to their mailboxes for the next government cheque.

Farmers complaining about the government looking after poor by feeding them and going to the mailbox for their cheque which would feed many of those who are hungry.

Multi multimillionaire farmers, you need to add. Just like Trump taking his share after 9-11, when none of his properties suffered any damages. More fleecing of America - steeling from the poor, and giving to the rich....

Tick Tock....

I'll never understand how my fellow progressives, who are supposed to have love in their hearts for all people, can support such ruthless war mongers.   Barak was supposed to wind down Bush's wars, instead he has just expanded it.   Hillary pushed for more warfare as SecOState, she'll be worse than obama.  The usa has been at war for like 15 years, no end in sight.   How can progressive face themselves after voting for these people?

That the american worker should be content with a third world pay check?

If you want the american workers to be self efficient, you need to favor higher wages for the work they do. The poor get tax exemptions. Yes the same exemptions that you get before you pay one dollar in tax. You're doing a whole lot more whining than the working poor.

Questions:

Are there more troops on the ground in foreign engagements now or before Obama?

Are more troops coming home in body bags before Obama or during obama?

[hdr22clintonem]

Reread you questions and think beyond your nationalism.

More troops, more dead, in more places. 

And its a false question, can't a person be against war campaigned by both Bush and Obama.

Do you pity those killed by bush, but cheer those killed by obama?

[OKdon]

we have fewer troops in harms way and fewer body bags occupied by dead americans. how can it possibly be worse?

[OKdon]

But would rather have it all. Do you understand those folks?

I have trouble with those that crab about low income folks not paying taxes but their frequently oppose them getting a raise.
