He has a point... :francis:
:stopitslime:Really?
I’ve been holding up the constitution as a holy grail?
Receipts please?
It came up in a discussion about what is or isn’t a right...
Please explain what race has to do with inalienable rights and/or how my comment about healthcare is at odds with my demand for reparations.





In other news the authoritarian left has emerged again demanding a poster at odds with the liberal agenda be forcibly silenced(bushed).

I feel bad for anyone who has to work past the retirement age. I am trying to make sure I have enough money to retire at a decent age, but it truly is all so confusing (i.e. 401Ks) and we have no idea how much things will cost in the next few decades.

State governments have been struggling to pay pensions since 2008. This GOP tax plan is going to force city and state govt like New York to cut spending and lower taxes. Which will make the pension crisis worst. Smh America is heading toward dark times.

The reason is Republicans brag on cutting taxes then cut things people won't notice like infrastructure maintenance and pension payouts. Then, when the bill finally comes do, they cry poverty. If you have a pension system, you KNOW how much you have to put in. Our pro-corporate government made it legal to declare bankruptcy and shed pension obligations though. That's how Romney made all his money.

The standard of living is dropping in America.

Rapidly.

In direct proportion to the rise of the standard of living in China, India and shyt.

SOHH

People are so terrified that they can't afford their 3 story house on half an acre.. when prolly 10 people could live on that plot.

Which is exactly where we're headed. Just have to posse up and make it work. It's actually smarter to fill an empty house with people. Have the younger ones help care for the older ones... et cetera.

'But I won't be able to own two or three cars of my own!!'

Nope. 10 people like 3 cars amongst them. Boom. Solar panels. No $300 shoes. Grow a garden.

Anyways. It's like tryna stop a river with your bare hands. Might as well learn to swim.
