"What I choose to do and to whom I choose to help is my business."  While grammatically funky, a this is a truism that should be tattooed on the forehead of all politicians.  Unfortunately, the biggest offender is probably the guy Chosied is backing.

Yeah i had brought this up in another post as well. Screw the americans in poverty , raise thier taxes to help out other foreign countries.

Someone brought up something about nobamas brother living in poverty, living in a hut somewhere. The comment was about nobama saying ya need to take care of your family, the comment was made if nobama gave his brother a 20.00 it would double his monthly wage. His brother lives in a hut, if he wont help his brother do u think he is gonna help any of us?

If stockboy davie opens his wallet and finds, lets say 300.00 in there and gives half of it to someone who needs it more, without getting pissy, i would buy into the obama thing. But since nobamas biggest supporter wont give away half his paycheck every two weeks, DONT ask everyone else to do it either!


Above is gta1's post. I see nothing in there about how much walmart employees or stockboys make. In fact, walmart isn't even mentioned. It's that old reading comprehension thing again, guys. You totally missed his point, a common ailment for choken.

If stockboy davie opens his wallet and finds, lets say 300.00 in there and gives half of it to someone who needs it more, without getting pissy, i would buy into the obama thing.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say you're talking about me. First of all and with all due respect never assume you know what I make. Secondly what I make is none of your business. You must have some ego to challenge someone else to support those that have less. In helping others it is not my wallet you should concern yourself..... Take a peek inside your own wallet and at your own self worth. If helping others  is  with in your ability and desire more power to you. What I choose to do and to whom I choose to help is my business. 


No one here asked what you made, davie...to make it any of their business.

"If helping others  is  with in your ability and desire more power to you." But what if a politician were to make that a mandate (like nobama wants, davie), whether it was within your spending ability or not?

 

 

 

Don't Republicans redistribute wealth when they create 10 trillion in national debt and pass in on to the next generation?

Com'on rocket man, show us the difference. 


Rocket man???, davie. But yet you assimilate wealth to debt? I thought they were opposites. Besides, democrats have controlled the spending for the past two years. Look at the percent of escalation during that time vs. republicans in a longer time in control. Remember davie, that 10 trillion national debt you mention only went over the 10 trillion mark after the bail-out with liberals in charge.  Those are your heros. Now, who is leaving what bail-out costs for the next generation, davie?

Sort of like you posting that gas prices went down before the Bush re-election when they are on public record as otherwise.

Rocket man??? Man-O-man!
