No, it's because you believe in socialism. You're a Marxist.
We already have tons of socialism in the country.
You don't seem to know what you believe in. Because you're just making this shit up as you go.
No, it's because you believe in socialism. You're a Marxist.
I didn't know until after I read your article. And, apparently you acted in bad faith because you didn't realize total SNAP spending had increased 330% since 2000.
If total spending increased and individual benefits decreased, more money must be going to Dept. of Agriculture bureaucracy, which is good reason to cut total spending.
You ignored the point of which who refused to raise it.
Fucking moron, this whole discussion has been about how you're misrepresenting that figure.
So of course I acknowledged it. We're debating the merits of that very argument right now.
What a fucking fraud.
By "you assholes" I assume you keep assuming I am a Republican which is not true. However, it was last raised under Bush and not raised under Obama although he had a Democratic House for two years and a Democratic Senate for six.
You were deceptive and misleading by stating "you assholes refused to raise the minimum wage" because "you assholes" also refused to raise it.
First, you obviously can't recognize sarcasm.
Secondly, what is hypocritical about my position?
I made no conclusion. I simply stated a fact---total SNAP spending increased at a rapid pace since 2008 and was not cut which you refused to acknowledge.
You stated individual benefits were cut which I acknowledged.
This is a compositional error (at least not involving people as the class this time). You are making vague and generalized arguments and applying them across entire classes improperly. It is the same kind of error that causes bigotry (when you involve people as the class
The entire EPA is discretionary spending. So is the entire NEA, CPSC, most of the FAA, most of NASA, most of the FCC, and the elimination of other entire departments. These departments should eliminated entirely. The Federal government has no authority to implement them, and such things are better handled by the States themselves. These parts of government should eliminated. I realize it won't happen of course.
Government doesn't produce anything. Spending by something that doesn't produce wealth does not increase wealth. It wastes it.
No, all you contract is that part of the economy that is not producing wealth for the people.
Cell phones didn't happen because the government bought them. Neither did the personal computer. Neither did website construction (the Federal government STILL has trouble with that one!). Neither did the automobile. Neither did slide rule, horse breeding, house construction, TV sets and flat screen displays, paper making, etc. ALL of these happened because of consumer demand for the products and by the innovation of many talented people that didn't work for the government.
I already listed some of them. Pay attention.
The point of America is not taxes.
Why? That doesn't raise the price of gasoline
WRONG. They are taxed to drill, to pay their workers, to use the land, to pump out the oil, to transport it to the refineries, to refine it, to store the finished product, to transport it to the distributors, to add the chemistry for that area, to transport it to the gasoline station, to pump it into the ground, again when you pump it out of the ground, and again when you buy and license your car.
No, they wouldn't, because they aren't as big as you think they are. Most tax credits and subsidies pay for researching more efficient uses of oil products, and finding a greater variety of oil products, such as plastics.
