(20,871 posts)I think the movie Robocop and the corrupt corporatist's portrayed in the movie are foreshadowing what the GOP/Koch/religious right wing has in store for us. We must stop them big time in 2014 and take this country back to the people. 90% of the country wants gun background checks and we can't get them. A large percentage wants a infrastructure bill but the corporatist's in the republican party won't allow it. When are people going to get angry and fight back? Do we want our first responders only beholden to wall street who who's only goal is corporate profits at the expense of our state and local communities?Do we even have it in us anymore to fight back?

(80,693 posts)Remember romney complaining about President Obama - how annoying and expensive to want to add more firefighters and police, and teachers. Naaah, we don't need 'em. More from the "you're on yer own 'cause I don't wanna have to pay for it" society.
I think we should ship all those folks to Somalia and let them build their brave new "you're on yer own" world there. And they can revel in their no taxes/no services/no government/but all the guns you can eat and all the robber barons and pirates you can shoot at, to their - uh - well, I was going to say "to their hearts' content," but I sometimes find it difficult to believe that people who believe this stuff actually HAVE hearts.
"Heart like a BB." My mom used to say that a lot. Sure fits the grover norquist/ayn rand/paul ryan crowd.

(57,936 posts)public employees' pensions are just too much of a burden. I do not understand that mentality. The pensions are part of the employee's pay-- deferred pay.

(5,103 posts)I feel that if we could eliminate the fraud, then we wouldn't bitch about it.
Nobody wants to be ripped off just because the budget is too big to control.
I'm IBEW and do support the earned pensions.

(39,191 posts)it gets to the point in a very few easily understood words and a picture. If they need crayon drawings we can provide them,.
In that case I'm not sure they will understand something this sophisticated.
They just sort of pavlov out on the following terms
Terror
Torture
Guns
Liberty
Taxes
and of course the big one AMERICA!!!!

how wonderful of you to let us know WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND. and MAYBE WE SHOULD FIND A PICTURE WITH AFRICAN-AMERICANS, ASIANS, HISPANICS AND MAYBE SOME EASTERN EUROPEANS TO SATISFY YOU?
It isn't about you. But of course you disagree.

(39,191 posts)goodbye. I don't give a shit how long you've been here. Trying to make a big deal out of something so simple is a problem for you not me.
Take your offense and start up with someone who will agree with your position, I simply won't be bothered.
