"If it is so damn trivial, why are you fighting it so hard?"

This comes up time and again.

"Gays just want the word marriage"

If the word is so trivial a thing to want then why are you fighting to keep it. It sounds like the word actually means a lot to you, so why is it so fucking petty for someone else to value it?

"Raising taxes on the rich doesn't raise very much money."

Good. Then the terrible economic effects you predict as a result won't really amount to much.

"Chained CPI costs a beneficiary only 0.0000001% of nothing"

If that's true then it can't plausibly save much money... so why keep pushing for it?

I wish they would.

If they were answered, it would prove them to be disastrous for the American people, and highly beneficial to those who don't have to worry about eating, staying warm and somewhat healthy.

I wish these questions were asked over and over again until they became a meme .
