OT: Wealth Redistribution Experiment

[an]

How come none of the major Obama supporter on this board are able to communicate their point without cussing and name calling? Do you think you’ll sound more intelligent or get your point across better by cussing? I just posted the link from CNN, who definitely are more favorable to Obama than McCain. BTW, I’m voting for Barr, so… you know what they say about assume.

I’m not a major Obama supporter but given the choice between him and McCain I’ll choose Obama. Barr has good stands on most of the issues but I don’t think I could live with myself if McCain won because too many indepenents voted 3rd party. 2000 was bad enough.

As for why we curse and call names it is simply because we are frustrated and angry with these ridiculous divisive tactics and false arguments, like the one you posted. Sure, you will get a $200 larger tax cut under McCain, but at what expense? A good chance of losing your employer-provided health care, for one. If you don’t want to have cussing and name calling then use geniune arguments, not phony ones. And do a little thinking before you post. Yes, those families do receive a whopping 200 additional bucks in their tax cut but they are likely to be worse off. I’m sure most of the people that post this stuff realize this but they choose to omit it because it doesn’t help their argument.

Also I wasn’t calling YOU a dummy, but rather I was calling everyone who would be swayed by your SILLY, DISINGENUOUS argument a dummy. If you’re on this board, you’re probably like the rest of us and you pay off your credit cards in full every month, you have a good paying job, and you save a ton of money (yet we STILL can’t afford to buy the house we want — go figure). There are no dummies on this board, but there are people who are using and repeating arguments designed to influence dummies. And that makes some of us F***ING ANGRY.

Being angry is not a valid excuse for cussing. Sorry, but I’m no longer in High School. Learn to express your anger in a way that will persuade others who don’t agree with your point of view.

You’re blaming CNN for coming up with ridiculous divisive tactics and false arguments that favor McCain? Wow, that have to be the first. I didn’t put any of my own argument in that post, just a link to CNN and regurgitate their fact. Can you prove that there’s a good chance of losing your employer-provided health care? Healthcare cost have been going up every year, do you see companies dropping healthcare from their benefit list? Is the chance of losing your employer-provided healthcare because of increase in healthcare tax be as likely as you being “let go” because employer taxes are going up?

You complained about not able to buy a house you want and yet you’re support a guy who voted for the bailout? Sorry to break this to you, but you can’t always have what you want. Deal with it. If you really hate it that much, then vote for a guy who actually didn’t vote for the bailout.

The right has framed all of this as giving handouts to bums and crack whores on the streets. It’s hardly that. This “wealth distribution” is more better described as investments in alternative energy, investments in infrastructure, investments in health, investments in education, investments in our youth, and paying down our debt.

Most agree that we need to do all of these things, but no one wants to pay for them. This nation is on the brink of insolvency, yet when the bill comes due everyone whines about having to pay it.

Lets go back to the original metaphor used in this post. Imagine you go out to dinner every night for 8 years, but you always charge it, never pay cash, and never pay down your credit card balance. All of a sudden your credit card company says, “dude, pay up, or else.” Are you then going to sit there and whine and moan that you have to pay the bill that you’ve spent the last 8 years racking up? You’ve had “free” meals for the past 8 years on someone else’s dime, yet you complain when your wallet is on the line. I think it’s time to grow up and face the reality of the situation.
