I support people who work to EARN money and things to be actually bought and paid for...not handed out to lazy losers who sit at home all day and collect a check from Obama that comes out of my pocket.
What a joke!
No, here's the jokes:
Most Republicans won't consider retired citizens some of those "lazy losers who sit at home all day and collect a check," when in fact, they are. Yes, they paid into Social Security, enough that would last 5-8 years, the lifespan expectancy 'back then.' And then went on to live 30-40 years. The Ryan (now called Romney) "fix" is to let those who bankrupted social security and medicare, continue to collect, but end it just AFTER the last baby boomer retires.
Most of this economic crash began just before Bush's second term... the ball was rolling downhill then, and Bush did nothing; if he'd done something "in time" it may not cost what it's costing now. There's an old adage about a stitch in time saves nine that can apply here, just substitute sewing thread for dollars.
Most physicians agree that many of the most costly illnesses would be less costly if caught earlier, and that's what Obama's initial plan wanted to help with, to catch things earlier so they cost less in the long run.
When companies reduce or eliminate health benefits because they CAN, they also reduce or eliminate the average person's ability to get into Group healthcare that costs less than every individual family in American purchasing it. Obama initiated something that addresses that... it got warped by Republicans but there are still aspects of the Affordable Care Act that DO make health care insurance more affordable to those who had no health care insurance. Basically, Obama's plan acknowledges that we can't count on Big Business.
"Big business" that Republicans want to protect at all costs, have absolutely zero patriotism.
If they did, they wouldn't take our jobs overseas. If they hadn't done that, more people would have jobs and not be 'lazy losers' sitting at home. Also, if "big business" wants to avoid the higher income taxes that is just fair at a time when they're about the only ones who have any money to afford a little more, then they could hire some people here, and write off the expense of employing people, lowering their profit which in turn reduces their taxes.
Of course, that does not address those who are fraudulent about needing assistance, but cutting it all out because some few commit fraud - the Republican plan - isn't right either.
Obama's plan was to take us back to Reagan tax rates, which worked, rather than Bush tax rates, which led us into economic decline. And if you want to scream at that because it will cost "the rich" more money, take a better look at Romney's plans; he won't directly increase the tax rate, he'll just reduce or eliminate the deductions for your house, your medical care, your childcare expenses... all those things that help the little guy, including the small business owner, stay just a little above drowning.
America was NOT founded to help the rich guy get richer while the poor guy dies under the weight of no home, no food, and no one caring. The opposite is true, it was founded to escape the weight of Lords owning All. Present-day Republican plans want to undo over 200 years of history, and its working because anything less than "rich get to keep it all," and the scream of "socialism" has people rallying to their cause... like the rats that followed the Pied Piper.
The Republican party today wants to insist that women who happen to get pregnant (maybe they didn't have health care to get a birth control script, hmm?) should under almost every circumstance, have the child. Then the Republican party today does not want to help ensure the child is fed, clothed, housed, or educated properly.
Ike, Abe, and even Ronald are turning over in their graves at what is called "Republican" today, because instead of strengthening the Republic, this party is doing its best to tear us apart.
also a registered Republican who thinks it's time to disown them
