from the peoples budget thread:

inherited wealth is bad for democracy. these are founding principles.

read de tocqueville's 'democracy in america'. he said something along the lines of "america's inheritance tax creates an incentive for the next generation to make something of it on their own."

why do you people only want 'incentive' for poors?

personally, i think paris hilton's little jerk-off brother could use some 'incentive'.



this is a point that an uneducated idiot would make. sure....

i don't ignore evidence. i embrace it.

why didn't you just come out and say that republicans don't think they are voting against their economic interests? instead of starting a fight and posting 25 pages of political science.

did i ignore that? no i questioned why it might be.

that's what smart people do, they question things. they don't just accept everything.

pretty sure you're confusing complex's. if i felt superior to you people, i probably wouldn't be so desperate to prove how ****ing smart i am.

i'm no shrink, but pretty sure inferiority complex is what you should have said.

see guy. i can even insult myself better than you can. probably means i'm smarter than you.

Your thread title implies anyone who doesn't support what you support is either wealthy or dumb. You think you're smarter than the rubes.

How can you not figure this stuff out? I thought you pretended to be smart on the internet.

that's not an implication, it's fact.

you should probably look at both complex's again and get back to me.

who am i debating on these forums, the idiot rubes, or the self-proclaimed upper class?

Problem is, you assume you know the thoughts and motivations of a large chunk of people who you've shown repeatedly you don't understand at all.

You are the idiot rube. Just for a different set of hucksters.

right...

and you know because you DIDN'T read 25 pages of political science. then you follow that up with "look, less than one percent rate abortion as their top issue."

well no **** guy, everyone rates the economy as their top issue.

so if you want to get this debate back on track. why is it that republicans have managed to convince working class morons that they know best about the economy? when anyone with half a brain knows that's bull****.

and i'm still not conceding that wedge issues are one of the biggest factors in working class people voting GOP.

what was W's 2004 platform again? oh... right... not "we're best at economics" it was "family values."

c'mon guy.

goodness low key. most people are superior to some 90 IQ simpleton.

my behavior ITT and on these political forums is indicative of someone with an inferiority complex.

you even fail at insults.

Ha!

“I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, ‘If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain,’ but where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote — who did not even leave the house on Election Day — am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created.” — George Carlin

"the GOP has two kinds of voters, rich people and suckers."

haha that is so cute. Watch I can do that too: the DEMs have one kind of voters, the unemployed. haha, we are both so funny.

that makes no sense... improve your material, or GTFO.

u suck bahbah.

I'm just pointing out that obviously both parties are doing what they think is best for economy and the middle class. To suggest otherwise is just dumb, so I was mocking it.

Just like every single member of Congress voted to give back pay to Federal workers after the government shutdown because it was the right thing to do.

bahbah has a point.

no dem strategist just gives up on R voters because "they're just suckers"

it takes a special kind of idiot to just blindly believe anyone who disagrees with him must automatically be an irrational idiot

that idiot is PtU

it's not that they disagree with me. it's that they disagree with fact, reason, etc.

of course the majority of working class right-wingers are irrational idiots. that is beyond debate.

look at the suckers. abortion suckers, gun suckers, racist suckers. need we go on? many of these suckers have been permanently banished to the lower class (thanks to conservative economic policy). but they're such ****ing suckers they say, "it's those god damn liberals, that's why i don't have any money."

how could a good-looking woman like gizmo fall for a twit like you?

huge cock? never assaulted someone in front of her?

Always get a kick out of PTU using the words "simpleton" "suckers" "idiots" "irrational" or "uneducated" in an un-ironic manner.

when have i ever called anyone uneducated? i'm just as qualified to look down on another's intellect as anyone around here.

you act like writing well means something.

"The GOP has two kinds of voters: rich people and suckers."

There's one kind of voter: suckers.

Besides, like the Dems aren't supported by the rich? That's hilarious.

nobody is saying that we're not voting against our interests too. obama supports TPP. that ****s the working class.

all i'm saying is, we have no delusions. obama is a ****-bag. he's better than romney.

i'm/we're trying to get beyond the 'better than' thing.

If you voted for Obama, you are responsible for not closing Guantanamo, US troops still in Afghanistan and Iraq and wherever the hell they are, the load of crap medical insurance marketplace, slavish government handouts to banks and military contractors, etc.

It's not too different than if you had voted for the Republican, except he would have been more upfront about what he was doing.

Thank goodness I forgot to register to vote, I'd hate to directly be responsible for torture.

Or the first extrajudicial killing of an American via a secretive "disposition matrix."
