To my fellow Comrades time to face the new normal

[halfmileharry]

I survived it while wearing chem gear and pulling 12 hour shifts, while doing combat turns on A-10s. After we got off duty, we would go out for a quick meal and "one" beer. Next thing ya know, the cycle has started all over again and you are drunk off your ashcan and have to be back on duty in three hours. Thank goodness I was young. It hurts to think about it now.

A bunch of us "Experienced" INGO'ers should all get together for a night out. Everyone throw in $20 in the hat and last one to barf, pass out, or fall over, is the winner.
In my case it would just be throwing my money away. I quit drinking 15 years ago except for one night at home maybe 5 years ago when a female friend brought over a bottle of Mango Mojitos. El Capitan got the better of me. I swore "NEVER AGAIN" but just for INGO and society's sake I might give it one more shot.

Oh the days when we were young and could party like that!
Unfortunately I have to go to work now and can't post for awhile. Somebody has to provide for the "entitlement class".

Corporate Subsidies?

Wait... I thought you had some appreciation for communism and socialism .....

Alright jamil so you think HRC is the better conventional politician which in turn will get more legislation passed.

Well, depends what you mean by "better". I think she's Satan incarnate. So that's not "better". What I mean is that she's not as ideologically bent as Obama. She has no principles that she couldn't break to get something she wants.

I guess in a way we're more fortunate, that if we must have a lefty POTUS, that it's one who just can't compromise on certain issues. Obama is that. But yeah, Hillary will likely get more bad legislation passed because she will play ball with the GOPe, assuming they're still in power, to get something passed. I don't think the GOPe will try to play keepaway like they did with Obama. And they may just lose control of congress, the result of which would be that Hillary gets to be as ideological as she wants.

Would be easier to pass out cigars and bayonets and turn out the lights...

 

[jamil]

Actually HRC knows where all the bodies are buried and has the clout to buy the ones off that can be.

That too!

You may want to study our soon to be established economic policies
• We call for worker and community ownership and control of corporations within the framework of a decentralized and democratically determined economic plan.
• We call for a minimum wage of $15 per hour, indexed to the cost of living.
• We call for a full employment policy. We support the provision of a livable guaranteed annual income.
• We call for all financial and insurance institutions to be socially owned and operated by a democratically-controlled national banking authority.
• We call for a steeply graduated income tax and a steeply graduated estate tax, and a maximum income of no more than ten times the minimum. We oppose regressive taxes such as payroll tax, sales tax, and property taxes.
• We call for the restoration of the capital gains tax and luxury tax on a progressive, graduated scale.
• We call for compensation to communities-- and compensation, re-training, and other support service for workers-- affected by plant and military base closings as stop-gap measures until we reach our goal of creating a socialist society totally separate from the global capitalist economy.
• We oppose the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization as instruments of capitalist oppression throughout the world.
• We demand cancellation of Third World debt.
• We call for a National Pension Authority to hold the assets of private pension funds, and a levy against corporate assets for any pension fund deficits.
• We call for increased and expanded welfare assistance and increased and expanded unemployment compensation at 100% of a worker's previous income or the minimum wage, whichever is higher, for the full period of unemployment or re-training, whichever is longer.
• We support a program of massive federal investment in both urban and rural areas for infrastructure reconstruction and economic development.
• We support tax benefits for renters equal to those for homeowners.
• We call for the elimination of subsidies and tax breaks that benefit corporations and all other forms of corporate welfare.
• We oppose the court-created precedent of “corporate personhood” that illegitimately gives corporations rights that were intended for human beings.

If you believe we have a "right" to things like health care, food, shelter and a good education, then doesn't that also mean you believe we also have a right to force other people to unwillingly provide those things at gunpoint?

If nothing else this thread has motivated me to reread some Friedman, it has been a while and his stuff is very refreshing.

 

[Brad69]

The Sanders camp of the Democratic Party does in fact believe in the basic human right to housing, food, education, health care, phone, Internet and a basic living wage that anyone working a 40 hour week should get at least $15 an hour or more. This is also the platform of HRC after the battle with Sanders. He is a Democratic Socialist if you watched the DNC convention and saw the delegates with the Robin Hood hats on they are even further left.
There will be no gun point actions no need for that they control the IRS which can seize bank accounts and personal property with no court order without your consent or take your payroll check.
You need to pay a "fairness tax" to make up for income inequality. This is not a made up conspiracy theory or crazy talk this is HRC platform. Please don't t forget the "family care act" that provides 12 weeks paid leave and the child care program that provides government subsidies paid for by you to provide for others children look at it as child support.
That is just the economic part of the plan you gotta see the "path to citizenship" that will be happening.

We have hundreds of Billionaires in the USA...yet none of them have decided to be Batman. Such a disappointment.

I'm more than a little weary of people clothing their own jealousy and shame for their lack of achievement in the false morality of "income inequality."

^ libertarian philosophies make sense. There is always a natural way of explaining things which contradicts the tendency to believe that a political monopoly of force is needed to pick winners and losers.

Thanks for slowly bringing these into my daily youtube buffett...

• Restore basic fairness to our tax code. Hillary will implement a “fair share surcharge” on multi-millionaires and billionaires and fight for measures like the Buffett Rule to ensure the wealthiest Americans do not pay a lower tax rate than hardworking middle-class families. She’ll close loopholes that create a private tax system for the most fortunate, and she’ll ensure multi-million-dollar estates are paying their fair share of taxes.

Can I sell you land? I mean her foundation is proof of the idea you posted right? This has to be sarcastic....or you are just trying to get to 50 posts. Thats gotta be it.
