For Fuck's sake, the vast majority of Americans are doing just fine. Those that find themselves struggling just need to work harder, lift themselves up by the bootstraps, and stop using the government as an excuse for their inability to succeed. After all, America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet. Problem is that the government supports people that could ,but won't pull themselves up . it's not only a matter of people needing to do more ,but also the government needs to do less.

We should cut their benefits and they should "work harder, lift themselves up by the bootstraps, and stop using the government as an excuse for their inability to succeed".

Wait for him to spin this one...

On the second part he was being sarcastic, I would hope you could figure that out.

What sort of bubble do you live in?

That's been the argument from our right minded friends for a while. Funny how the same standard doesn't seem to apply to them.

trickle down doesn't work ... Gard loves the idea of taxing the wealthy as long as it is not him. I pay plenty in taxes ... it's the price of living in a civilized society.

Right now at our local Sam's:
Angus NY strip $11.98/lb (prime $14.48)
Angus ribeye $12.98/lb (prime $14.98) Angus tenderloin $19.98 (prime $22.98) Corned beef $6.38
Do you just make this shit up?
Excuse me. Are you a f..king idiot? Do you think that prices are the same from one area to another? We buy dairy products very inexpensive prices due to the location in respect to the dairies. Whole milk was around $2.50 a gallon a while ago. By the way the prices were off of their websites and were “on sale” prices.
Well, if you're living in a place where strip steak is $19, and I'm where it's $11, who's the f..king idiot?

The people that want the wealthy to pay their “fair share “ of taxes are the ones opposed to a flat tax. Everyone should have an equal proportion of their income taxed.

It's an issue, but not a factor in overall spending.
I guess I don't understand what a "factor " is in relation to this. I thought any spending of money ( of which we have none ) is a factor . I guess I should have said "major factor". Better?

There's work for anybody willing to work. Yes the job may not be your first choice, but putting food on the table while enjoying some self respect should be a good enough reason to work a job that might not be your dream job. Today's society is similar to a spoiled child that must get their way. Until we learn (again) to be self sufficient, a lack self respect and independence from Government interference will run our lives. Meanwhile, there's a lot of workers going out the door every day to a job that's boring, or low paying. Why should these workers be forced to pay for a multitude of bullshit that our politicians just keep kicking down the road. I have heard of many stories of Cuban doctors that came over in the ‘60s that took menial jobs such as custodians to have a chance on re-building their lives. I am sure many of us worked hard labor jobs in our youth. Many of today’s kids want to have a job making 100K from their basements. Ain’t gonna happen.
