shrike82 posted:Heh, I literally made a 10 grand bet on Obama beating Romney on inTrade. Didn't Arkane make something like a hundred grand betting on the election? Anyway lots of rich people have no idea what middle class is or what its like not being Mega-rich. These people often think a person making several hundred thousand yearly is middle class. Not to mention we should probably be more concerned with our working/lower class then those in the middle since the former out number everyone. Edit: Also McCain's best out of touch moment was not being able to remember how many houses he owned.

I was masturbating over the idea of Abrams rolling in and wrecking their poo poo but really the authorities absolutely made the right move in backing off. The fact that these people are turning on each other now proves it. I mean let's face it militias are filled with various types of unstable wackos looking for any and all reason to become violent, its only natural that if the feds wont give them a reason to become martyrs then they will find one amongst themselves. The only problem is that there are children in their group and I don't really see any good outcomes for them  I guess we can hope they just get bored or run out of money and go home but I don't know if the odds are good of that happening.

It's pretty telling that people who want more government "efficiency" always try to do it by cutting social programs instead of corporate subsidies, tax breaks for the rich, or that 1 trillion dollar f-35 shitheap.

Amergin posted:No, I'd rather local governments work with local businesses and shelters/social workers to figure out what training could be provided to the homeless, what skills they currently have, and what roles they could fill in finding jobs to find an apartment themselves. Businesses want there to a large segment of society impoverished and desperate so they can keep them paid as little as possible. Anyway you were just given a link proving that it would save the government money to simply give housing to the homeless instead of keeping them on the streets, which is why I used quotations around the word efficiency in my last post, you don't actually want it and in fact support government waste as long as it keeps the homeless just that.

The reason welfare programs even exist in the first place is because charity wasn't cutting it. The wealthy and the businesses they own don't give anywhere near the amount required to provide a decent safety net. And just to preempt it, please don't try to sell me a line about how they totally would if it wasn't for some crushing tax burden (that lower then its ever been in modern America).

A Winner is Jew posted:Only "service guarantees citizenship" is literally the Dream Act minus the provision that "service or a college degree guarantees citizenship" that Obama has been pushing and the right wing screams about because anything Obama does is the devil. It doesn't matter what the mechanism for achieving citizen status is, Republicans just don't want any non-whites in the country period, especially if they would probably vote Democrat.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:Also, isn't it the case that the rich are more likely to donate to stuff like operas, which they predominantly use, while the poor give a higher proportion of their income to charity for the poor than do the rich? On this topic wasn't much of Mitt Romney's charitable donations to his church which used the money to fight against gay marriage in California?
