So, is it my impression, or some people here WANT the debt ceiling to be raised? | |

But I can't believe people here on GLP also want to raise the debt ceiling. What happened to GLP? People here are now ROOTING for a debt ceiling increase? Unbelieveable... |

Make the rich pay their taxes instead of giving them infinite loopholes and workarounds. If the government actually collected the same tax percent form the politicians that they do from the working class...we wouldn't be in this situation. There is a problem when a single mom pays in 15k, and a career politician makes millions a year and pays zero in. |

Quoting: unbelievable 48450846 So, some people here WANT the debt ceiling to be raised ONCE AGAIN? And then, when the debt ceiling is reached again in 2015, what you're gonna do? Raise it again? And again, and again, and again? So, why is there a debt limit after all? Can't believe it... People on GLP want Obama to keep spending more money than the government actually has, generating a deficit, and increasing the public debt, so the future generations will have to pay for it... Unbelievable.. People on GLP accepting the debt ceiling to be raised... Bunch of COMMIES. Raising the debt ceiling is for liberal spending-freak commies. People on this forum are slaves with a short attention span. Only reason it is even being talked about because MSM and Mods are. tomorrow it will be some kind of meteor or sun flare and nobody will fucking care or remember. It is how the world works now not just on GLP and it makes me want to puke on everyone. Just fucking pathetic. Yet I did make a shit ton of money off those people. So I can't hate.

Look at it this way. Romney brought is 13.5 mil in 2012 - he paid 14% income tax which is just under 2 mil. IF he had paid the same 30% the working class pays, that would be 4 mil. Multiply that by the 500 assholes on capitol hill, I think we would make an effective dent in things. |
Resister User ID: 36421936 United States 10/16/2013 11:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I certainly don't but I understand why so many people are so bassackwards. This morning on my local TV news, one of the anchors held up a dollar bill and began to explain its value. The guy emphatically argued that raising the debt limit would instill confidence in other countries and investors in the dollar. He compounded that lunacy by insisting that not raising the debt limit meant not paying our bills and thus would lead to a reduced confidence in and devaluation of the dollar. I was so pissed I whipped out the laptop to email the station before I went to work. Only in America could begging for a higher credit limit when you can’t pay what you owe in the first place equate to more trust. For every other person on the planet, the way to encourage trust is to pay your bills and not need a higher credit limit to float a loan you can’t pay. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |
