I find that I sometimes want to comment. When I do, my intention is to comment about the stuff here, not in other threads.

I speak of threads started simply to throw out the daily righty talking point and provoke a reaction. I am simply stating what I think is a sound strategy, but is one that has been widely ignored. That's OK though, a burgeoning work load will keep me away from here more now.

I guess I'm a little right (which is obviously wrong here).  I have a closet full of gold, silver, and lead and don't need to lock my doors when I'm gone. If you guys were 10%ers you might feel a little different about paying for things for people who have no desire to work. Who prowl the streets at night killing each other. Who use EBT cards at casinos and strip clubs. When will it be enough is all I want to know? 50% 60% 75? It really doesn't matter a whole lot to me either way because in a year and a half I'm retiring in Belize. This isn't the America my old man went and fought in Austria for. Let the moochers and con men have it.

Alas, you'll have to take yourself with you when you go to Belize. So you'll find it is hell, too.

A happier man you'll never meet. I have a beautiful wife, 4 fine dogs, a record player, and at 52 I'm strong as a bull.
They do have those nasty botfly things down there, so I'll probably get a net for the bed.

You're a little bit right and Bernie Sanders is a little bit left.
Is the use of EBT cards at casinos and strip clubs an urban legend, or do you have some actual documentation of it happening. And if it happened, are you sure that no authorities took action once they became aware of the abuse? It is illegal to use that benefit for anything but food. Just think how much trouble Wal-Mart would be in if food stamps weren't around to keep its employees from coming to work hungry.

D-Ray

It's a total load of right wing crap is what it is.
I started a thread on it down in the economy forum.
