The Democratic party. We are told that they are here to stand up for the little guy. We are told that they are here to stand up for the oppressed poor and oppressed masses. They support raising taxes on the wealthy and middle class to pay for programs for the poor. (Programs that are generally useless and promote apathy and dependence) They advocate forcing employers to pay more through minimum wage hikes regardless whether or not they can pay for it. Liberals also want to take taxpayer funds for free food, housing, insurance Ad Nauseum in the name of the greater good. Liberals like Hillary want our homes and property taken away for the greater good.
The reality is that whether or not they know it, (believe me they do know) They are doing more to hurt the very people they claim to help. The Working poor. Not only by theft of money but also for theft of freedom and our jobs. They not only want our property, they want our freedom lest anyone would dare speak out.
Look no further than the new communist dictatorship we have in our own US of A than Maine. In Bangor Maine, a socialist fiefdom in central east part of the state, we have those who think its the government's job to take care of everyone, that it is the duty of the government to tell us what to do and how to live our lives. Here there is tolerance for every form of perversity but little tolerance for religious values, for liberty, for guns and for the values of the founding fathers. Portland, Lewiston and Augusta as well to some extent as Brunswick are the only other blocs that rival its liberal agenda. That's not to say there are those who are starting to wake up. But there is much to be done.
The Democrats in Maine like the way things are and want to keep it this way. Maine has the worst business climate in the nation, has lost jobs, has its living costs skyrocket, and has had its liberty trashed. Our jobs have gone overseas and over the state line to New Hampshire, that low tax free state the libs keep saying is a bastion of conservative fascist bigots that no one want to live in despite that it is superior in every way to Maine. Maine is also the poorest state in the region and is 4th poorest in the nation. Michigan, Louisiana, West Virginia and one other state are the only states behind and trails behind Tennessee and Mississippi. Of course liberals like it that way. They can always blame Bush.
But don't you dare speak out as one hard working member of the working poor had done in Bangor. The man who we will call Charles worked at the Edwards Shopnsave in Hampden. He was fired from his job for complaining about the economy and the high tax burden we have. Despite earning food stamps and earning less than $184 a week part of the check is taken out in pay roll taxes. Charles would be making $220 a week but was employed for 32 hours rather than the 40 he used to get since his employer can't afford it thanks to the Democrat tax economy. His wife was unemployed and his kids couldn't get a job either. At customer service where he picked up his check he was conversing to his co-workers about how bad things were. He complained about Baldaci and about the taxes and the economy and how hard things had become.
Well, a woman who had overheard the conversation and who was a Democrat was not too happy with what was said. She decided to leave a message to the manager complaining how offended she was of all that talk about lowering taxes and smaller government and freedom. Sounds just too republican! Well She complained and whined and the next week his manager brought him in and informed him that because he offended a customer with his talk, he was fired. This guy is already dirt poor and receiving hand outs from charity and welfare, now he has no job! Good job liberals! That'll help!
So as we can see, liberals don't care about the poor and the weak. Maybe if this man and his wife were unmarried crack fiends in housing projects and 12 bastards and maybe if he refused to work they'd be more sympathetic? They always are!
Now, with Obama and both the house and senate, they are going to be moving that war on up the line in their sickening qwest for a marxist utopia that will, like all othe rmarxist attempts, end in misery, economic collapse, and butchery.
Communists did the same thing...they want to keep the masses hungry, ignorant and ill so they can remain in power. Isn’t that much like the plantation American Blacks have been doing for decades...they keep voting in the massa that keeps them down.
Should I put my family on as much taxpayer tit as possible, to starve the beast faster?
The beast is already running on fumes. Here in Maine the system is on the verge of collapse. The libtards want even higher taxes but that isn’t happening. Baldy is making cuts as we speak. Very deep cuts. Soon Maine is going to be worse than Europe.
I personally experienced this when working at a public school. The school seriously launched an investigation that lasted for days when a janitor who was in my classroom fixing a faucet that a student had deliberately broken started talking about how this particular alternative school was a waste of taxpayers money and the kids should have to make it at the regular school like everyone else, etc. I was put on leave for not contradicting and reprimanding the janitor. The public schools have been anti-free-speech for years. Now it is moving into all sectors.
That's the quandary now isn't it?
Doing so goes against your conservative, self reliant principals. But on the other hand, how are the libtards and American Idol viewers going to get the message that government is the problem, not the solution. And then there's the ever escalating part of the equation. How much (time AND money) is it going to take to drown the beast (while in the process feeding and growing it), and then can we recover and roll it back after it's dead when far too many American Idolators have become accustomed to it?
I fear the remedy will be ugly, very ugly. Not saying it doesn't need remedying, just saying no matter how we do it; it's going to get ugly. Cause the STUPID CLASS (rich or poor) just doesn't get it, and will scream bloody murder.
I take it it wasn’t you who ratted the janitor out, so who did?
Meanwhile I had consulted a lawyer who advised me to resign from this insane asylum. I did so and gave them a letter that said I intended to take further legal action if they in any way let this ridiculous incident affect my future employment. I worked at one other public school after that before I decided that I couldn't be part of such a system anymore. Now I teach for private online academies.
Good for you!
Last year, a very conservative Supervisor in my county saw the writing on the wall. He has advised his extended family to apply for any program for which they qualify. Besides starving the beast, you paid taxes. If you qualify, this is just a tax refund. If it will make it more acceptable for you, donate a portion of what you did not have to spend from your wages to a suitable charity.
I think liberals ought to have to support conservatives. After a suitable period of time, they should also be informed that they are doing so. Maybe after the money runs out and they are trying to hire personal security.
