I Just Want You to Understand What All the Fighting Was For
I'm getting so sick and tired of arguing with greedy conservatives. They ALWAYS have the same dammed arguements whether they are an "independent" conservative or in the freakin KKK. "These welfare mothers are too lazy to get a job and we have to pay the extra taxes for it." "Rich people already pay too high taxes, they worked for their money, and besides they keep our economy running." "Yeah, but what they don't tell you is that you and I would have to pay more taxes for Universal Health Care." "It's always black (those criminals) that do drugs, and I once saw these guys that were high on marijuana that knocked over this guy's newspaper stand and thought it was funny." In 7 years I've yet to hear a new one. And if you keep debating with them, it ALWAYS goes back to their freaking taxes. Heh, and they're the moral ones. Maybe welfare mothers would be able to get a job if there was a LIVING wage and affordable daycare. And why doesn't anyone put two and two together with how children are the largest group in poverty. But do you hear anything about the kids, no. Rich people may pay high taxes, but please tell me why it's so important for VP cheney to get a 20 MILLION dollar tax break when so many working people and their children are in poverty and malnourished? They don't even earn most of their wealth from work like you and me do, No, they inherit it or do illegal insider trading. Studies even show that they don't invest it in the economy, they horde it. Why do you think most producers gear their ads towards teenagers and the African-American communities. THEY are the ones who spend their money to keep our economy running. And what about how the amount of taxes paid by corporations has decreased in the past 50 years. But us taxpayers have to bail their asses out everytime they go bankrupt because they were too corrupt and greedy in their business practices?? As for health care, yes, it does seem a very moral thing to do to prevent children from getting immunizations and medicine because we'd have to pay a little more taxes every year, even though most of us can afford it. How very christian of you. I don't know about you, but the only criminals I've ever known were white: drug addicts, drug dealers, drug producers, murderers, domestic abusers, sexual predators, thieves, you name it. Not saying that there aren't any other minorities committing crimes, just that black-on-white crimes seem to be the only ones anyone ever talks about. And just because you saw one instance of some dipshat on weed do something detestable doesn't mean it's the damn drug that does it, or that's good enough reason to make it illegal. If that were the case, marijuana would be more legal than alcohol, judging from all the accidental deaths, murders and property destruction that takes place every week from the influence of alcohol. Ok, that's it. I'm too tired. I don't want to argue anymore. And YES, in case you're wondering, I AM a Democratic Socialist. That means I believe in the entire country taking care of each other. Americans taking care of each other. Is that so much to ask?
