Greed knows no political affiliation, Chula, that's just dumb.

I didn't say they monopolize it. But you ever wonder why it's the GOP who always votes to relax environmental safety issues, relax OSHA standards, push for fracking, pushed so hard for the Alaskan pipeline, fight against increases in minimum wage, fought so hard against mandatory health care for workers, etc. etc. etc.

My boss is rich and he votes Dem because of his values when voting GOP would probably make him more money.
Which is the party that votes against oil industry regulations? Automobile safety regulations? Gun safety regulations? Pollution regulations? Employer assisted birth control programs? I'm reminded of the Papa Johns dude. He's worth $600 million yet stated he was going to cut back workers hours so he wouldn't fall under the Obamacare guideline for mandatory health for his employees. And ya, he held a huge fundraiser for Romney. Papa John's CEO: 'In a Bunch of Trouble' for Obamacare Job Cuts | DiversityInc

I don't know what centering your ass has to do with the Republic but you have got my interest flapjacks. Obama is a moderate democrat though, he wasted all of his first few years "reaching across the aisle". Only to get it slapped away consistently. He only wised up in the last three years or so to realize they won't ever work/compromise with him. Yeah, when they are so like kids with their hands stuck in their ears about things that they rather shut down the government than work with him, there is a serious problem.

Yep
Why do the dems fight for common core? Why did LBJ go bonkers in Vietnam? Carter was a good dude. Why did Bill push for the most brutal welfare reform in modern history? Why has Obama bent over backwards to bail out the banks and auto industry? |

LBJ was a large man from Texas with a ridiculous ego. He really was GOP at his core. Carter was in over his head. He did an incredible job with foreign affairs though and is amazingly respected for that to this day. Clinton signed PRWOK into law to try and fix an incredibly broken and abused welfare system. I actually supported that at the time. Still needs to be done. We need welfare but we have to stop the massive abuses that makes it cost way more than it should for US taxpayers. Obama consulted with all of the top economists at the time who all basically advised him that if the banks and auto industry failed it would push the US back to the dark ages once the smoke cleared. And really, I'm not talking about politicians, I'm talking about voters and who they place their vote with.

There is nothing wrong with regulating things.If it's for the greater good, (really for the greater good.) However you are not really understanding what these particular regulations are doing. They seem like they should help the people right? One would think that but they don't and they are not there too. For example gun safety is great (safety means a class on how to use one properly.) but it can not infringe upon the right to own a gun and your right to own a gun is so that you are never ever more out gunned then your government. END OF STORY, so to try and implement a tax on something that is right in this country is ****ing bonkers and what the under lying subtext is saying is it's trying to get rid of guns by making them retardly expensive to own and buy legally. That will not stop criminals from getting them and NOT PAYING THE FRIGGING TAX. (Also if you look at that, really look at that they are trying tax our rights. WTF. WHAT IF THEY INTRODUCE A BREATHING TAX, YOU GONNA PAY IT?) There is nothing wrong with loving the earth bro, but taxing people on such things like uhhh I dunno the strange tax in Denmark on meat or trying to put the coal industry outta of business is ludicrous.It's insanity. With the technology we have today coal can be very clean burning. Carbon dioxide for exsample is the gas of life without it everything dies so why in places like Australia are we trying to have a CARBON TAX? Employer assisted birth control?!!!! ![]() GOVERNMENT, ALL GOVERNMENT IS ESSENTIALLY TOTALITARIAN BY NATURE. THEY CAN'T HELP BUT MEDAL IN OUR AFFAIRS. BUT THEY ONLY WAY THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS IS UNDER THE GUISE OF HELPING US. TAXATION IS ****ING THEFT. I shouldn't have to tell you the dangers of smart cars, and self driving cars. THAT ONE IS SO OBVIOUS IT HURTS. Quote:
