I am sorry there Cliffy, but I can not understand at all why you made this jump. I think socialism and socialist policies are a disaster and extremely stifling to self motivated people. That in turn, will harm those that depend on them for opportunity. I don't think there is a kick in the balls anywhere in this idea.
Well, there's a reason charities exist. Donate away until you feel like you're treating your fellow humans with respect. The unfortunate side effect of things is that welfare breeds dependency which is not at all treating fellow humans with respect.
I bet your muscles were aching from lifting boxes and you died early! Oh wait, you're pretty plump now... There are tens of millions of us who did the same for life...and who don't count ordering subordinates around as work.
Not your typical liberal, socialistic crowd...maybe if you live in Los Angeles it seems like Oregon is not diverse but it actually is.
so you want to be taxed more and get free shit? or you want to keep more of your hard earned money? I'm confused here...
No it's called "living the American Dream". I've been to many countries around the world and I don't see any that can have someone completely broke to being rich off their hard work. In a communist society, that work is redistributed and rewards those that don't.
The people that don't mind paying more in tax for these social programs should just donate the money to others instead of harming everyone..... /wish
Well, he is close to right. I left Oregon in 75, I think. A very conservative State then, a terrific conservative governor in Tom McCall and both houses of the legislator. When I returned, this state was not recognizable and going south.
No, my father (60) and brother (36) died early. Thanks for making a joke about that. I was fortunate enough to find ways to channel my stress through meditation and psychedelics.
I could say the same thing about states in this country...there are communities where the poor will always remain the poor..you don't have to travel the world to see that. I have traveled the world too and strangely enough, most of the countries are not communist...Taiwan has millions of rags to riches stories. We're not exclusive in that respect. My neighbors emigrated from India and invested here and are much wealthier now coming from nothing...you are just going to play the us against them role and if that's living the dream...why are you so unhappy?
Once in a blue moon you actually spout something that makes sense....and is irrefutably true. Thank you!
Ironically, those cities vote in democrats that give them promise to be pulled out of their poverty. Instead, they are given welfare and education funds are channeled out of their communities. They've been oppressed and will still be oppressed. It's really sad.
Thanks bro... Many don't know my true story. They see a rich person and don't realize what my family has gone through
