I wonder if she wants to eliminate the Prescription Drug Benefit for seniors?

I wonder if she thinks Medicare is Paid for.

I wonder if she thinks Medicaid is Paid for.

I wonder if she thinks 9/11 happened.

I wonder if she thinks Social Security is Paid for.

:confused:

I wonder when you are going to stop being a one party tool.

Everything she says makes perfect sense. Have no idea who she is, not that it matters.

Stop pointless wars, and I love the analogy of saying basically we put optional wars on a credit card for our grand children to pay off.

I also liked the way she explained why taxes are fair and justified. I don't even think many people dispute some taxes are needed; we already have them.

The real question is what is the rate we need to tax at in order to afford the society and infrastructure we desire. And that is where there is debate and disagreement.. legitimately. Arguments can be made for all sorts of sizes of government and taxes.
What is the right plan? :shrug:

Warren is I think running for Mass. senate seat currently held by Scott Brown. Some very strong credentials in her resume, and it's interesting with that background how plainly she talks (to this audience at least). Probably someone to watch...

i guess the business man who got rich never paid any taxes for the road or the police or the infrastructure?

I guess he does not deserve the same rights that every other American receives for being a citizen?

He can bear the brunt of any risk of failure, all on his own, as the community of people around him who benefit from his factory - the jobs, the tax revenue it brings in, will in no way have to pay on any of the debt he will personally incur if it fails.

Yep. Totally fair.

Unless, of course, you are Solyndra. Then, you can get a gov't backed loan, fail and plead the Fifth - leaving the tax-payers on the hook.

Again - totally fair.

A good move. Anything Elizabeth Warren has to say is way over your head.

Way over head--It's quite simple we the dummy productive are trying to you Einstein parasites from reaching deeper in our pockets

Liberal logic at it finest--the ones groveling for that tit - trying to tell us how smart they are.:lol:

You had same chance to use same education roads etc as those actually paying for them (we the tax payors)

Yet when flip side of arguement comes up you losers- do the "it's not my fault" flop as if you didn't become the parasitic leechs of society--"ON YOUR OWN"--as Elizabeth would put it.

Ask Elizabeth why when given same resources some start with nothing to be successful while others are welfares whores--why some do drugs and others don't--why some turn to crime others fight crime--
Does someone force them or do they do it --"ON THEiR OWN"


You can skip all the rhetoric it boils down to simple fact--It's all about--

The productive wanting to keep more of what they earn and the parasites thinking they own them more.

eg: redistribution/class warfare

I'm more productive than you on my worst day.

I'm a professional and you're an insurance salesman.

Any questions? :)

And he is worried about u getting in his pocket like somehow he is in the top one percent :mj07: Everyone when they were younger thinks of being a billionaire but eventually u realize it only happens to a very very small percent. This shithead thoughts of being a billionaire have somehow translated into him believing he is a billionaire. He acts like he is some big productive person but what he really is is a ponzi scheme salesman. Nothing more.

Insurance salesman. Is that one notch lower, or one notch higher than used car salesman?

and therein lies the rub....do you want a nanny state (like this librarian obviously does),overegulating and strangling job creation and society in general ?...forcing one size fits all healthcare down the throat of a citizenry that,the majority of which wants no part of?....

a government that acts like the money you earn belongs to them and they`ll decide just how much of the fruit of your labor(or how little) they`ll let you keep?.....


where exactly has socialism worked?......you can google your ass off and you can`t answer that question in the affirmative...it`s been a failure everywhere...

well,f-ck that...perry`s dumber than an anvil....bachman doesn`t have a prayer.....the only ones in the republican primary i could possibly endorse would be newt gingrich(the smartest guy in the room...practicaslly any room) or romney(because he can out-slick our lying c.i.c.)....

truth is though,that regardless how limited the choices may be beyond those two, i love this country and i`d vote for the muddiest pig in the sty against the socialist in chief..... and crawl through broken glass to do it.....

he`s a clusterfuck of a miserable failure...period...

What I find the most disturbing is that people on here who support welfare and entitlements will bash a guy because of his profession

At least he has a fricking job.

Well we all know his shtick, don't we Sponge?

If you don't agree with his Matt Drudge/Michelle Malkin/Charles Krauthammer view of the world, you're a gov. tit sucking leech and a parasite on society.

It's his only play. It's always been his only play.

Who supports welfare and entitlements? :shrug:

The rest of us have professions too. We just don't feel the need to brag about them ad nauseum on the Internet.

It's interesting that you don't find his ridiculous and incessant claim that all liberals are government-tit-sucking parasites just as disturbing.
