A young woman was about to finish her first year of college... Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words, redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even sh ow up for classes because she's too hung over." Her father asked her, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend Audrey, who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea. How would that be fair? I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work. Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Amen!! So simple, yet the libs can't seem to grasp it.

Perhaps ss12 could enlighten us as to just how this is not a direct correlation to what the liberal dems want to do.

Reminds me of my grandson just a few short months ago, getting his first real paycheck... he worked 30 hours @ 17 bucks and hour, he figured he'd get about 500 bucks.. he was wrong, he went to his boss for an explanation, boss told him that's what it costs him for all the deadbeats that don't work... instant Republican ....

[ss12]

Mud you should have told him what it cost for the industrial military complex which cost more than the deadbeats of the USA budget. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/c...united-states/ Then remind him that the republicans are the war mongering party. USA spent more on corporate welfare than the deadbeats another republican ideal. Another statistic that the lower educated white male also votes republican. Then tell him how the republicans hate a minimum wages and he should be making at least $20 an hour but thinks to the republicans who are helping keep his wages low. Then remind him of the schools he went to, the road he drives on, the protection and safety of the police and the fireman are not free.

Republicans are outraged for all the wrong reasons.

This past Friday, $5 billion was automatically slashed from the federal food stamps program, affecting the lives of 47 million Americans.

The USDA estimates that because of these cuts, a family of four who receives food stamps benefits will lose about 20 meals per month.

But these enormous cuts to food stamps aren't enough for Republicans.

They still want to slash an additional $40 billion from the program in the name of reducing spending and federal debt.

Republicans love to argue that programs like SNAP - the federal food stamps program – and other social safety net programs put an unfair burden on American taxpayers, but if they just took a minute to crunch the numbers, they'd realize that's flat out wrong.

In 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program.

That's just ten cents a day!

That's less than the cost of a gumball.

But Republicans think that's still too high a price to pay to help the neediest and most vulnerable Americans.

And when it comes to funding the rest of America's social safety net programs, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 a year pays just over six dollars a year.

Simply put, the American taxpayer isn't paying much for social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicare.

But we are paying a lot for the billions of dollars the U.S. government gives to corporate America each year.

The average American family pays a staggering $6,000 a year in subsidies to Republican-friendly big business.

And that's just the average family. A family making more than $50,000 a year - say $70,000 a year - pays even more to pad the wallets of corporate America.

So where does some of that $6,000 that you and I are paying every year actually go?

For starters, $870 of it goes to direct subsidies and grants for corporations.

This includes money for subsidies to Big Oil companies that are polluting our skies and fueling climate change and global warming. Compare that to the $36 you and I pay for food stamps a year.

An additional $870 goes to corporate tax subsidies.

The Tax Foundation has found that the "special tax provisions" of corporations cost taxpayers over $100 billion per year, or roughly $870 per family.

But in reality, that number is much higher.

Citizens for Tax Justice found that the U.S. Treasury lost $181 billion in corporate tax subsidies, which means the average American family could be out as much as $1,600 per year.

Finally, of the $6,000 in corporate subsidies that the average American family pays each year, $1,231 of it goes to making up for revenue losses from corporate tax havens.

This money goes to recouping losses from giant transnational corporations like Apple and GE that hide their money overseas to boost profits and avoid paying taxes to help the American economy.

The bottom-line here is that American families are paying $6,000 or more per year to subsidize giant transnational corporations that are already making billions and billions of dollars in profit each year. In the past decade alone, corporations have doubled their profits.

Republicans on Capitol Hill keep suggesting that we can't afford to help the poor in this country, and they're wrong.

What we really can't afford is doling out $100 billion each year to corporations that don't need it.

litey as far as your brother getting laid off that's just a part of capitalism. Nothing to do with the government. Go ahead and vote for Trump because he really is not a republican. He just ran as a republican to help Hillary out. It wasn't hard for the democrat party to "out fox" you republicans.

CNN, Fox, and ABC/WashPo polls reveal that Americans with more education are less likely to support Trump’s presidential candidacy. Most strikingly, the ABC/WashPo poll finds only 8 percent of college-degree-holding Republican voters plan to vote for Trump, compared to 32 percent of Republican voters without college degrees. Moreover, those with college degrees (56 percent) are about 6 points more likely to believe that Trump is wrong about immigration compared to those without college degrees (50 percent), the Fox poll finds.

Another thing to think about....Ginsburg will probably retire within the next couple years.

Or die of old age first.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Did you lose some food stamp benefits or did a family member??

If we don't have national defense and security with border enforcement. Countless billions will keep going to illegals and someone is going to NUC our lights out. And then we all will be without food. Your socialism dreams will then hit you with their horrible realities.

But you will never realize it unless it really happens. Sad.

[ss12]

CW please explain why the USA spend more on their military budget than the next 6 nation combined. I don't mine spending tax dollars on the military to protect us but I don't think we need to be the world police. As far as socialism goes our military is socialism at is best. Didn't you worked on a military base? You also indicated it was a union job but you refused to pay union dues even though you benefited form the union contracts. This just shows what a hypocrite you really are.
No I didn't lose any food stamps benefits but think god if I needed them they would be available. Fortunately I had a career which was a form of socialism and was a union job which I paid dues and received a pension.

[old fan]

because we are the police of the world one of the main job the POTUS has is run to run the military why hasn't he done that
