Democrats

[El Correcto]

Was just responding to being called a "failure".

Felt it necessary to provide proof to the contrary, since in the eyes of the TrumpTards here, all of us Libs are dirtballs, who've made nothing of their life, and are looking for a handout.

Liberals are not failures. In fact, I'm pretty sure we've got a higher net worth, and yearly income on average, in relation to Republicans, but I'd have to check to be positive.

I consider conservatives to be failures, because of the fact that they've managed to go through their entire lives without learning the one simple lesson that we should all live by - the golden rule. I see liberals and democrats put that forward and live by it in most instances, and I see republicans and conservatives ignore it, pretend to abide, or flat out all over the concept.

If we all followed the golden rule, even if it was just in this country alone, the world would be a 1000× better place to live, and we wouldn't have those bum encampments you TrumpTards love to hold up and deride...we'd be feeding, sheltering, and getting these people the medical attention they needed - contrary to popular conservative legend, these people on skid row are not lazy, they're ing sick. They have mental issues and diseases.

We've pushed them aside and isolated and villainized them like modern day lepers, instead of taking care of them and using our wealth as a nation helping them.

As I've said before, you measure a society by how well they treat their lowest members. You don't need to worry about the wealthy and the vast swath who make up the average - of course, they're fine, and have a voice that's taken into consideration - they keep the electorate in office, and wining and dining at the DC power spots.

Poor people in the US don't have a voice, and conservatives wanna keep it that way.

No Larry we don’t have time to take care of those poor people. We got undocumented dreamers we need to worry about first.

Failure, huh? Me?

I make $2k per week, my wife is the former homecoming queen of our high school, and she's both educated and cultured - she speaks a second language fluently, and she's still hot at the age of 37 years old - plus she likes to . So my home life is pretty successful.

I own 2 beautiful cars - a used Infiniti G37x with less than 50k miles, and a brand new fully loaded Honda CR-V, and I also have a vintage motorcycle too - a Suzuki that I've converted into a cafe racer, plus a garage to put them all in, which means that I'm doing pretty good in the transportation dept as well.

I don't rent, and I have no mortgage either - the house/living situation is all paid for, and owned straight up, so I'm in the market and looking for a second vacation home on the water.

I have an appointment to go look at this house on the lake tomorrow: View attachment 253644
View attachment 253645 View attachment 253646
And if the price is right, I think this could be the one...

I'm not rich - but I am the American Dream, bitch...I live and breathe success every day of the week, Freddy Boy.

Failure isn't in my vocabulary.

But then again, I don't work for FredEx, and top out at $12 per hour below what UPS is paying the big dawgs who are full-time top rate, of which I am one. So I don't have to sweat poverty, and live on hot dogs - cause I'm a union teamster working for Big Brown and being successful just comes with the territory.

I don't think I even need to get into my investments, which you guessed it, are successful. They're up large and in charge. This kid is on track to bust out early. Boom.

Don't come at me, Fred. Especially with that failure bull. I don't play when it comes to working hard to provide myself with the 'good life' as I know it.

I hope you're doing well in life too, @Fred's Myth...All of you, for that matter. But I especially worry about you FedEx boys - it's tough to make ends meet on Fat Flab Freddy's express slave wage, and even harder if you're one of the contractor's indentured servants, er employees on the ground tip.

Just to add a conclusion to last night's post, which might have gone a little aggro, or been a few beers beyond nice - I went and toured that house, and while there's a lot about it we loved, the size in relation to the price tag isn't one of them. The price tag, in general, wasn't something I loved either...in fact, without some serious sacrifices, I definitely could not afford it.

While I have very little debt, and my expenses are fairly low, this house was $600,000, and I cannot really justify that without living there year round. I do not want to live that far from work, even though the area is fantastic, and it has every amenity you could really need within a 3 mile drive or so. But the winters here are a bitch, my family lives where I currently live, and driving 45+ mins to work and to visit them isn't what I want to do at this point in my life - after I retire, or shortly before, this might change.

I am really looking for a second home, to live in for a few months per year in the summer, or to periodically stay in, like you would treat a cottage. This house wasn't that. At least not on what we make, that is.

Oh well. I'll continue to look for the right fit. Perhaps it might have to be on a smaller, less popular lake. If I don't want to pay a half-million bucks or work exclusively to pay for this 2cd home until the day I retire, and beyond, at least.

You are a complete load of crap that talks out of both sides of your mouth, and have a textbook case of superiority complex.

Please explain this superiority complex to me, and if you'd be so kind as to cite the textbook you've gotten your information from, that'd be appreciated too.

Bullet points of the criteria your textbook lists as necessary for this superiority complex will be fine, since I'll probably read about the whole diagnosis once I can get my hands on that book - it's probably widely available at a discount retailer, I assume, if a simpleton like yourself had access. Maybe they were selling it at Ollie's or something? They deal in a lot of old, ty books, that nobody wants to read anymore, but I digress.

I am definitely looking forward to gaining some insight into my psyche from a half-wit who took an intro to psychology class at his local community college - it'll be better than a decade in therapy with a pro, if my intuitions are correct.

No citations needed as you just tried, and convicted yourself with your own post(s). My last question is this: When people at work see you coming, do they run away?

 

[LarryBird]

Some jobs are not meant for careers for 30 years. And if you choose to make a career out of Walmart you should move up the chain to management but if you don't move up whose fault is that.

I don't know, whose fault is it?

You seem to be implying it's the person passed over for the promotion or the people who don't make it to management(aka the vast majority). But me? I'm not so sure of that.

What if they guy who was doing the promoting had a taste for the latina flavor? Then, what do you know, there were a couple hot boricua mamis up for the spot, and he gave the promotion to the one with the nicest ass.

Maybe the next time it came time for promotions, the boricua mami with the nice ass, she’s in charge now, and she's got a bit of a thing for black dick - there just happens to be a young Denzel-looking brother on the scene at Wal-Mart #653, and although he's fairly new, he's got what it takes to move up in this company.

And the next time...




You see my point hopefully. It's not always a person's fault that they don't fly through the ranks and scramble up the corporate ladder like they were avoiding a fire under their ass. Things happen. Unfairness happens. People are passed over for any number of petty reasons, some of which are downright illegal, and if not quite, then certainly morally and ethically questionable.

Plus the vast majority of employees never advance to position of power, even lower level management. There might be 10 management people total, at your local Wal-Mart, and there's 200 employees at a given time - so how many truly have a chance to advance, and what are the chances something doesn't stand in their way, even if they do their absolute best and go above and beyond the scope of their job.

Be real, dawg. Generalizations and projections like that just make you look basic.

No, I was invited to a party at a coworkers house this evening, in fact. But it's rainy, and I'm not sure I feel like attending because of that, in combination with the distance to the party.

Don't wanna hit the tippys too hard, and then get popped for a DUI, coming from a party full of professional drivers who need a license for our livelihoods, no less. That would be so ty.

I might go in a little bit though. Set myself a 6 beer limit, and only break it once or twice at the most.

In the coming years millions of Trumptards Consercuks and Bible Thumpers will come to the end of their working lifetimes only to discover that they are nowhere near well enough off financially to NOT be in need of New Deal and Great Society social programs designed to help the poor and elderly achieve a basic quality of life including medical care But, if they don't believe in those programs they DON"T HAVE TO ENROLL IN THEM. Much of the anti liberal rhetoric you see today is driven by foolish pride . One of the reasons you don't hear much out of the so called "Tea Party" today is because it's platform called for massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid Social Security etc but when it's members many of who were enrolled in the programs saw where this so called "political movement" was headed they all went in the other direction as fast as their aged bodies could carry them.
Many will still continue to bash the Democrats , liberals and progressives because it's trendy and fashionable as well as try to hide their embarrassment over the fact that they spent their entire adult working lives making somebody else rich and know have come to discover that when corporations talk about a " reduction in legacy costs" they're talking about them in terms how they can dispose of them along with the pensions and healthcare costs they represent.

And when that time comes we’ll still be offering free healthcare to illegal immigrants and neglecting American people. Democrats today are out of their minds. Offering them free healthcare, giving them a drivers license and who knows what else they can get. Only damn thing they should get is a free flight back to home country.

So, in your ideal society a sick person doesn’t deserve healthcare and it’s Democrats that are out of their minds?

Not illegal immigrants

 

[LarryBird]

Huge companies can afford to pay more it's the small business owners it hurts. So take for instance illinois it obviously cost more to live in or close to Chicago but downstate is cheaper. so you tell me should someone at McDonald's in southern il make 15 when the cost of living is lower.

I see a lot of conservatives, but also just people in general, saying how little a job is worth/what the minimum a job should pay is, when it's not their job - when it comes to their job, they're overworked and underpaid - but the other guy who works at McDonalds or Target, he's not worth $15 an hour, they don't do .

I didn't quote your post to single you out for this, only to bring up the point in my post that this is an epidemic, and we should want people to make as much money as is feasibly possible, while allowing the companies to turn enough of an operating profit, that it doesn't deter entrepreneurship and potential business ownership moving forward. The wage increase will only help all workers, especially if you are as valuable and skilled as many of you(people in general) think you are - if Wal-Mart is paying an 18 year old kid $15 an hour, then surely the _______ who is in the prime of his career deserves a little bump too.

The income and wealth gaps in this country leave some meat on the bone for employers to pay higher wages across the board without passing along a significant increase in the cost of goods or services to us along the way.

Everyone works hard. Modern day business optimization has insured this - if you're not justifying your cost and proving to be an asset, you're gone. Companies carry very little dead weight, and they're demanding more work and increased production for stagnant wages and COLA raises.

You're not being truthful. The Tea Party didn't call for massive cuts to those programs. They called for the end of massive spending that threatened the existence of already established programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Bringing in huge numbers and giving them taxpayer supported benefits so that they can compete for jobs and keep wages low while we have homeless and veterans needing assistance certainly qualifies as Democrats are out of their minds.

Once people realize that there actions have real consequences they may value education and it all starts at home. Asian and Indian people value education so good for them that they get into great college and great job.

@TheBrownFlush, and the rest of the bible boys, should be asking themselves these questions at church tomorrow, while they're hopefully doing some soul searching: HWJV? WWJTT?...How would Jesus vote? What would Jesus think of Trump?Report back with your answers after mass.

I can answer now.
Jesus said " My kingdom is not of this world."
When Rome was the world power, during the time Jesus walked the earth, many wanted Him to "take over"... He wasn't interested then and he is not interested now. His kingdom He reigns over is a spiritual one, not physical.
