Here's the original, it's from the Wall Street Journal. I think they included the black couple on the top right to show how "poor" people aren't getting hosed over like the rest of them! These tax increases are such a burden, who can possibly live with that? Won't someone PLEASE think of the rich people?!?

This is from a guy on my list who seems to believe that all terrorism is fake, because if it were real that would mean Muslims were bad, and thus he was bad.

FreudianSlippers posted:I don't think people get the Islamic ban on pork. It's the exact same thing as kosher. You aren't supposed to eat it unless you're starving but eating it isn't some grievous mega-sin that excommunicates you or something like that. Muslims are also supposed to avoid eating donkey, whale, shellfish, wolf, scorpions, monkeys, turtles, elephants, bats, dogs, bears, and a bunch of other animals but you never see any memes about shooting Muslims with bear blood infused bullets. The real question is when is ISIS going to get with the program and start force-feeding Christians beef on Good Friday.

snergle posted:Some states already have this. If you're on foodstamps you have to look for work and they help you find a job. Then when you inevitably get hired by some place like walmart or winco they get a huge rear end tax break they do not need for hiring you. California even counts an unpaid job like volunteering at a foodbank as work in this situation. That wasn't what I was talking about. I was talking about just kind of inventing work for people who don't have any and would like some and if there isn't enough to do then just pay them anyway. PA does something very similar; if you are on welfare or unemployment you must be actively looking for work and prove that you are. The problem is that the job market in the state is absolute, complete poo poo. The Republican meme of "there's just so many jobs everywhere!!!!" is complete nonsense.

And the bomber weighed less, went slower, and had less fuel that was also less reactive. And the bomber hit the Empire State Building's side, compared to the planes hitting the WTC dead center.

The building was on fire and put out in 40 minutes, and one of the bomber's engines shot through the building and took out a penthouse a few blocks over.

SkinCrawling posted:2016 is off with a great start! I love this because the premise isn't even correct. Most of the Continentals were not armed when they signed up. They had to be armed after they enlisted. Finding arms, ammunition, and powder was actually one of the greatest challenges of Washington's command and there was a perpetual shortage in the early years of the rebellion.

A single mother making a loving quarter million a year has to pay a little over three thousand more dollars and this is portrayed as a Bad Thing while the media finds it OK to mock a single mother on food stamps struggling to pay her bills and rent and tries to portray her as some welfare queen living the dream on taxpayer money and somehow this is all Just and Right

There were jobs programs during the Great Depression like the WPA and the CCC that created work on public projects. We could do that today. There are lots of projects in the public sector that need doing, from bridge repairs to national park maintenance to digitizing archives.

He wasn't one of those weirdos who goes around trying to "poz" people. As for the Woody Allen thing, I'm a fan of his work but I have to admit that his personal life is hosed up and people should be more concerned about the molestation charges. I don't think that the Cosby case is a conspiracy against the black man (don't conspiracy nuts generally think the government is more powerful than to sit around bound by statutes if limitations before finally arresting him only very recently?), I think it's because everyone knew Cosby and he assaulted over 30 women.

People would love it in principal and then some academic would say like, "the socialized work program is remarkably effective" and people would go, "Whaaaaaaaaat? Socialism?!" and burn it to the ground.
