2018 Midterm Election Thread

No I wouldn’t. Someone that has no idea how the real world works has no business becoming a politician. A career one at that. Maybe you can pay her first couple months rent until things pick up.

The people that don’t know how the real world works inevitably gravitate to politics and education.

Sales taxes are terribly regressive. The poor, who need to spend all of their money on goods, pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy do, who have the luxury of excess money to save and invest.

The poor also make bad life decisions and expect everyone else to bail them out. Sales tax is the only equal form of taxation.

True. Politics is her security blanket. Luckily she lives in a district full of idiots.

There is a lesson in what you just posted.

Yep she’ll be fine. $174k a year, pension, lifetime healthcare, and she’ll go back to her constituents and tell them how Amazon is screwing them over. Lol.

Please just stop it. Without a doubt, some people are poor from bad decisions, but most are poor because they've been born into crappy situations and surroundings. You think out of work coal miners in WV only have themselves to blame? You think a kid growing up in the projects with a single mother crack addict is to blame? Give me a break. If Trump were born into a poor family he at best would have been a street hustler and likely behind bars by now.

Which, as the article I linked earlier indicates, are doing a lot better economically than most places in the south.

Don’t have kids if you can’t afford them.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

When’s the last time you heard about someone from the south retiring and moving up north?

Im moving to Cali so i can pay more taxes

Gotcha, so the kids of poor families should blame their parents for ever being born. Gotcha.

I feel sorry enough for people to give them help to get on their feet. I don’t feel sorry enough for anyone to give them a lifetime of free support.

You'll also make a lot more, have better job opportunities, more of a social safety net, cleaner air....

Gotcha, so the kids of poor families should blame their parents for ever being born. Gotcha.

But then tbey go and make more. So they are incapable of learning from the mistakes of others. The world needs ditch diggers too Danny.

Looks like Nelson's days are numbered. Highly unlikely to prevail

Yep. Instead of hating me and trying to take my money they need to realize they have **** parents.

Lol. Um, no. They will just take more because i can live amywhere and i make the same $. And have you ever been to LA? Not exactly pine fresh breathing there Cletus

My take home would actually go down.

Did you steal that quote from Jesus? That's from Romans, right? Or the sermon on the mount?

The coal miner should move to where the work is...... as for the kid with the coach ack addicted mom..... what do you think the money we give her gets used for?

Obviously since they don’t know any better than to elect a wannabe socialist moron.

who else do you blame for being born except your parents?

Basically only chance he has is if the 26k undervotes were because of machine error. Broward said that wasn’t the reason

This sounds like a pro-choice argument
