Maybe you should figure out their interests instead of telling them what their interests are?

Even worse, it’s that groups of folks will be blessed with their money, not individuals. We have taken the notion of the individual out of our collective thought process, and now require group membership. Which explains the group-think of grasping for cries of discrimination, as it’s now the only prescribed member…

It’s because he has made several false assumptions. The biggest one is that keeping your own money through less taxation is subsidization.

If he has a job, then his taxes helped pay for a lot of that.

lol u got me, now go ahead and refute the point

Maybe, just maybe a lot of them actually didn’t vote against their own interest, and are getting particularly pissed off at other people/”the other side” constantly telling them what their own interests are.

Marxism is a dead ideology and has caused more death than any fascist could ever dream of. Please gas yourself.

Go the Australia route... mandatory voting! Sure, it could lead to some wonky results but better than letting only the zealots decide who governs.

But it’s not people voting against their interests. It’s people voting against what you decided their interests should be. Personally my interests don’t include a complete social safety net for the society I live in. Moralistically it would be an amazing thing for people of all walks of life to benefit from. …

Is it racist when I’m asked for my ID when doing literally anything else?

Still wrong. Continue.

When you earn a dollar, how much of it is yours, and how much is it OK for the government to take and give to someone else?

Medicare and Social Security are at least Ponzi schemes disguised as retirement accounts. Put money in for 40 years, and get a payment until you die.

The rest are just giveaways. It is a good…

Texas where we’re taking the bull by the horns and trying to fix Houston’s and Dallas’ public pension problems. I moved from CA two years ago.

Tough titty. It was the unions and their wholly bought and paid for politicians who caused the problem. The taxpayers were locked out of the negotiations. And nobody’s going to die from their pensions being cut.

Well the poor as a bloc largely voted for Hillary, so step one would be to not view the poor as the reason Trump is in the White House.

And yet, this crisis has no solutions from either party. The VISA process has to be better, the path to citizenship should be easy for those here already, the criminals need to go back much faster, and the border needs to be shut completely. Is that so hard to put all those ideas together? Because until then, it’s…

I’m not talking about what President Obama did. I’m talking about actual legislation from the legislative branch from either party.

Show me the legislation that actually called for an increase in border patrol to stop the flow of immigration without proper documentation that was sponsored by a (D) and voted on by a majority of Democrats. The Democrats have called such a solution “racist”. The Republicans are morons because they think a wall is…

Most of these pensions that are short are government pensions at the state and local level that weren’t funded correctly or gave away too much during union negotiations. CA and IL and NJ can suck a dick before we bail their asses out.

And yet, not a single solution from Democrats that enforces the laws in the books. Nope, they want an open border without it being law.
