Originally posted by Meat187 I have settled with not voting. I know it technically makes no difference, but whenever the politicians make complete idiots out of themselves, usually right after the election, I can at least say that they don't have my vote. And since ours are already a bunch of clueless and corrupt liars I can only imagine how much worse it is in countries like Italy, Greece, Romania, Afghanistan,... or the US.

I'd rather have German politicians over ours any day. Your right wingers are our democratic party. Which is sad.

That pic has been going around FB all day today

Wouldn't that also mean that our left wingers are actually communists?

Anyway, I could give endless examples of them lying, being corrupt or just stupid.

Your left wingers would be outcasted as communists. Hell, in this country, being a mere socialist (something normal in Europe) automatically equates to communism (since most Americans are too dumb to know the difference) and essentially disqualifies the candidate immediately.

and how is Europe doing after decades of being mere socialists? Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and especially Greece are collapsing under the weight of their entitlements and are going to bring down the Euro with them.

Unlike the US which is just thriving

precisely... the more we emulate the failing European welfare state, the worse we are getting. Europe today is us in 5-10 years if we don't wake the F up.

Germany, Switzerland, and a whole load of other countries aren't doing so bad, especially if they weren't tied to the countries that you mentioned through the EU.

It's kind of like how states like California and New York subsidize states like Alaska (home of Oil) and Alabama (3 car companies, Honda, Hyundai & Daimler-Chrysler in state) through earmarks, and then AK and AL go brag about how business friendly they are because their taxes are lower. Fuck you people...

Federal taxes paid vs. Federal Expenditures, by state - http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/22685.html

And you'd really think New York would be higher because of all the anti-terrorism money that gets dumped here, so apparently we're REALLY getting fucked for actual beneficial things.

I know, we should lower our tax rates more to raise revenue. Maybe even start subsidizing companies to move here by actually paying them. Then we can undercut everyone on their tax rates, and eventually we'll make lots of money by not asking for any (actually giving some). The whole world will move here, because we'd have a -5% tax rate, but we'd get money from their employee income. Which obviously would be enormous, because the income of all of our largest companies, like Exxon, GE, etc. depend highly on their employee numbers since everything's automated.

No, the US is Greece now, except we are such a passified bunch of fucking pussys we dont have the god damn cajones to fucking do something.


The simple fact is if we do not raise the debt ceiling we will default by the end of the fall.

Oh come on, we're not there... We haven't been sucking on the teat nearly as much.

Your latter part is starting to really worry me. I actually am starting to think these Teabaggers are that stupid. The Dems should just start running video ads of what happened when TARP failed and the Dow tanked almost 1000 point before ending down 750+ that day. Only a mere 9% of our economy.

Do these dumb fucks think we get to shirk our debt on August 2nd?
