There goes most families disposable income.



This was the INTENT of the so called PP&ACA ! It had nothing to do with "affordable", "patient protection", covering more people, or lowering costs. Only idiot dupes and TV watchers believed the hype. The DEMS (neo-communists) are counting on complete dependence upon them. However, the useful idiots that put them in power could EASILY take it away from them when a 'great hope' from the other side takes the stage. Question is, will the broken masses continue to follow the assholes who broke them or will they want them strung up w/ piano wire, we'll see ?

Are you saying assets aren't being inflated by fed policy?

Everyone bitches like it's not their fault they have two jobs and can't make ends meet. It's America if your life sucks it's because you have poor decision making skills and lack of motivation.

We really don't have a bad economy.
There are a shite ton of good paying jobs in the south, especially in south TX if people are hungry enough to move and be willing to work.

I'd be pissed if I was his manager or of it was one of my employees.. No place for that shite when working a register..

As to his point.. I think all of us with kids get up in the morning to work and provide for our kids.. I've risked and paid the price to ensure they are well provided for and the overlords in our government keep making it harder.. That's not limited to this admin but they certainly have ramped up the incline.

What have they done to make it harder?

And if you are being fair, can you at least think of a few things that have made it easier for you? Or are you one of the few Americans that doesn't have his hand out?

I had to take a second job for almost a year to buy a boat. My second job pays 60.00 an hour and my boat is Sweet.

Does this count??

Banking regulations, uncertain and ever changing tax climates, continued and ever expanding reporting requirements, new requirements for healthcare and reporting, increased healthcare cost and changing coverages.. More government oversight within certain industries that I invest/deal with that trickle down cost to me. If you don't see the encroaching expansion of government as a cost measure within all business.. Well then you aren't looking..

Less government doesn't mean zero government.. The government serves a function that revolves around security and opportunity.. They go beyond that by miles in today's world.

I am a taxpayer.. One that pays substantially but finds it hard to accumulate wealth fast enough when I pay such sums to the government while balancing risk and liquidity.

Well there's the thousands of pages added to the federal register per year for starters.

I don't have my hand out but I sure as Hell not ever going to turn down anything they offer that I can get my hands on. That would be stupid, kind of like the unilateral disarmament that libs used to push in the 80's.

Take away anything the govt does that benefits me if you take it away from everybody else.

Good point Spidey. Wal-Mart employees are low class scum. Hardly any of them have had a private school education like you have. I'm glad that you pointed that out to us.


I didn't. Those are your words. You own this: "Wal-Mart employees are low class scum" - not me.

It's the suck arse liberal agenda economy where working people pay for all the goods and services of the people who will not work. Not scientific but accurate.

Obama's war on poverty is causing more poverty and misery, but this is to be expected since it's manufactured this way in the first place.


Far from me to defend Obama, but our awful domestic economic policy extends beyond him.
