Why You DON'T Want Hillary Indicted (and a long, vented rant I need to get off my chest)
To me, it's pretty obvious. Things suck pretty bad.

Obozo has destroyed us to this point. Those of us that make decent money through ordinary income (not the loophole BS) are taxed to death. Yet, we can still barely manage to get by here. While it would be nice to give us more breathing room and have someone like Carson or Trump in office, I sincerely doubt TPTB will let it happen.

It’s either going to be Rubio or a Demorat.

Rubio’s tax plan sucks. It does absolutely nothing to help those making a living through ordinary income and maybe provides slight relief to those in the lower brackets, but here’s the kicker: 0 capital gains will cause an already over inflated real estate and stock market to skyrocket. Basically, he would keep the status quo.

On the Demorat side you have a choice of a third term of Obama or Sanders. Do you want a continued slow decline of the country and the capability to maybe eek it out like you are now, or do you want total, instant destruction?

Large corporations and high net worth individuals have already left the US and/or shelter their earnings overseas based on today’s insane policies.

Now take a guy like me.

I ain’t filthy rich, but do fairly well. And unfortunately, I was stuck in the 100K-250K per year bracket for a long time. Now I know what you’re thinking, that’s pretty decent.

Well no it ain’t.

I have to work my ass off for it and risk capital investments going back into my business. When all is said and done, tax is paid on the corporate bottom line. Then out of my income, the Feds get 39.6%, the state gets their cut, plus tax on all the other shit I have to pay for on income I am spending that I already paid tax on.

On 150K yr (which is pretty damn good by most people’s standards) you’re left with the same amount as if you were to sit on your ass, do nothing, risk nothing, and collect from the gubbermint.

You need to bust through 500K per year to live the lifestyle we had way back when, and quite frankly, the stress is high and so is the risk.

ONE MORE FUCKING CENT IN TAXES AND I’M DONE. I either join everyone else collecting free shit, or leave and take my business elsewhere. There is no way in fucking hell you are going to take a 500k per year salary and give me the same living standard as someone making 100K or less.

Now if that’s what’s going through my head, how many other people in this country making over 100K a year are thinking the same thing?

How many won't even want to become professionals because the salary is just not that attractive after taxes?

How many will either leave or throw in the towel?

And after all is said and done, where does the money come from to pay for this free shit Bernie is proposing?

It ain’t coming out of my pocket, because I’m already contributing more than my fair share. And don’t give me this line of shit that the uber rich will pay for it because they either already left or will leave for reasons stated above.

Now let's address another of his asinine proposals: Minimum wage.

If you think corporations are going to shell out more money to pay you to do the same menial bullshit task, you are dead wrong. You will either be replaced by automation, or expected to do the duties of someone getting $15/hr, which may mean 2 cashiers at McDonald's instead of 4, so you will be hustling.

But let me share a small, light bulb moment:
For the past few month’s I’ve been using the Starbucks mobile app to place my order 5 minutes before arriving at the store. A few clicks and everything is ordered and paid for. My stuff is waiting at the end of the counter when I get there. No cashier necessary.

And here’s where I see things going:

Aside from being expected to do more to be paid more as an employee, as a consumer (me in the Starbucks example) you will MOST LIKELY BE FORCED to use that mobile app which eliminates an employee, or there will be a surcharge for ordering at the counter to pay for that person’s increased wage. Ipads, Kiosks, and mobile phones will quickly replace cashiers. Advancements in robotics and other automation fields will replace the burger flippers and other low-end jobs.

And yes, there are tons of other costs that will passed up and down the ladder if this shit flies.

Now ask yourself this:

If you are a struggling person working at a minimum wage job (and those jobs are really meant to be temporary anyway while you gain a skillset) what FUCKING DIFFERENCE does it make to you if you get a $3 raise or if you had a tax cut giving you the same take home pay?

Is it not obvious you get the same net pay without causing hardship and increased cost through the entire chain? If you're going to rant about not having enough money, protest against the one's taking it away from you (taxes) not the one's giving it to you.

So… you do not want Hillary indicted. You want her to win the fucking nomination because even if she wins the Oval Office it’s way better than Sanders, and Sanders has a much better chance of beating the republicans than Hillary. Just look at the last two elections. Free shit won out, and will again, only worse this time.

I’d rather take the corrupt lady, the slow decline, and continue to go about my business. I’ve been at the breaking point for a long time, but Sanders would drive me over the edge. As mentioned, I want Trump or Carson (based primarily on economic policy) but you can wish in one hand, shit in the other, and see which comes true first.

Let’s here from all sides on this…
If you are forced to have a demorat, who and why?
Do you even think we have a say in the matter or has our course been pre-planned and under way?

You don't get it.

There has to be a balance.

I'm all for helping others and paying my fair share of taxes, but it's reached a limit. People like me are already paying too much and the system is out of whack.

When it becomes easier to do nothing, abuse the system and collect as much as someone working their ass off than it is to become a working class citizen, something is wrong.

You have any clue as to how many people in the US are perfectly capable of contributing to society in some way, shape or form but don't?

As far as long-term strategies, what Sanders is proposing will put this country further in debt. So keeping my own interests aside, generations to come will be fucked if he gets in.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71346459


Quite a few reasons:

I'm paying because I'm still here.

How many others should be paying, but left to go overseas instead?

Why isn't Zuckerberg a US citizen any longer?

FYI -- The business taxes aren't 40%, but personal is over 50 between Feds and state.

As far as the debt, I'm no economic expert. I guess it's cause the government hands out more money for welfare and Obama phones than they can collect. They spend money on shit I or you probably don't know about, and also probably pay 100 times the market rate for the simplest of things. Take the Obamacare website for instance. It cost $500 million and didn't work at launch. I could have hired a guy on fiverr.com to do it.

I want her indicted for an old reason. Back in the governor race with Bill in Arkansas, the donations were sketchy against the other Democrats in the Party. The state department sketchy activities. Employees with shit checks to themselves. Nobody was kicking them out. The supporters that intend to murdalize people in ignorance. Her killer queer connection, people who would murder americans who opposed her. The Huma hazard.

Don't get me wrong, corruption is all good until they start tyrannizing the people they rep. They did that. Do you still really want a country or a giant shit-rag floating over your lives pretending to govern but really stealing people's personal information for private gain under diplomatic immunity?

Now the pile up to that point.

Rubio isn't any better with the Gates foundation funded Paris Attacks and San Bernardino deaths to cover Rubio's liability of being corrupt....even in his own 3 letter agency he is a shitstai on reputation for years. Hoaxed deaths to have no witnesses in a trial.

I WANT HILLARY INDICTED. MY FAMILY WAS GOOD AT DEMOCRATIC PARTY STUFF AND SHES A RIPOFF THAT WANTS MORE AND HER COWORKERS OF THE TIMES ARE THIEVES LIARS CHEATS AND TRAITORS. Stupid fucking people OPPRESSING others with their friends so that it is TYRANNY AGAINST THE USA.

You know, a website is not government. It's a furry puppet with a hand up its ass pretending to be government with a couple military tards in an office monitoring accounts but it's not government. Sort of like GLP, it's not actual people that care just a few idiots at a forum monitoring things.

Websites aren't government. Do you know how many people want to participate but the government excludes the people that could help the most based on political -- read partisan -- prejudice?

The real lie in the room is the guy who will not abdicate his throne, Obama. You don't have anything to argue for you stupid political paid shill.

I alluded to the fact that Rubio sucks as well and would be the other side of a same-sided coin.

I don't want the corruption either, but to me it just seems better than having Sanders.

Perhaps the title of the thread should have been "Why you don't want Hillary indicted now..." Then she can hopefully keep Sanders out of the race, lose the WH, and go to jail after. That would be a preferable course.

RULE OF LAW IS DEAD IF HILLARY IS NOT INDICTED.

The worst thing for business is the daily uncertainty Obama brings about. No way to plan. We at least need to depend on the constitution and the rule of law. Once that is gone we are no longer a country.

Re: Why You DON'T Want Hillary Indicted (and a long, vented rant I need to get off my chest)
Bernie Sanders will never win. He tossed the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton in their first debate underhanded girl style.

You cannot be the Democratic Nomination if you are not the alpha dog in the Democratic race to lead the hordes of undead that make up majority of the Democratic party.

Up until a month ago Bernie Sanders has never bothered to attack Hillary Clinton, and has allowed her to not only dominate the polls, but also dominate the airwaves unchallenged.

The fact that the race is so close in the polls, Hillary will win. Even if she gets a few points under Bernie in Iowa, she will still cheat, like the Republicans did in 2012 to Ron Paul because the race was also that close.

Hillary Clinton is the chosen nominee, and she will be left untouched by the law as long as she is running. The Democrats have decided who they will nominate and will do it at all costs.

I tend to agree, but there are varying schools of thought on that.

It's really hard to say, because both Bernie and Hillary have big advantages and disadvantages when you compare them.

Hillary has the female vote, where Bernie doesn't.

Bernie also has a lot of young voters, and young male supporters, who tend to be the least likely to vote.

It's a close one.

But Bernie has most of the "Gimme Free Shit" vote, which is bigger than all the rest combined. And I'm not so sure about Hillary having the female vote locked in. Quite a few women I know will vote Trump. Problem is, if he is not the nominee they will revert to whoever the democratic candidate is.

Obozo has destroyed us to this point. Those of us that make decent money through ordinary income (not the loophole BS) are taxed to death. Yet, we can still barely manage to get by here. While it would be nice to give us more breathing room and have someone like Carson or Trump in office, I sincerely doubt TPTB will let it happen.

It’s either going to be Rubio or a Demorat.

Rubio’s tax plan sucks. It does absolutely nothing to help those making a living through ordinary income and maybe provides slight relief to those in the lower brackets, but here’s the kicker: 0 capital gains will cause an already over inflated real estate and stock market to skyrocket. Basically, he would keep the status quo.

On the Demorat side you have a choice of a third term of Obama or Sanders. Do you want a continued slow decline of the country and the capability to maybe eek it out like you are now, or do you want total, instant destruction?

Large corporations and high net worth individuals have already left the US and/or shelter their earnings overseas based on today’s insane policies.

Now take a guy like me.

I ain’t filthy rich, but do fairly well. And unfortunately, I was stuck in the 100K-250K per year bracket for a long time. Now I know what you’re thinking, that’s pretty decent.

Well no it ain’t.

I have to work my ass off for it and risk capital investments going back into my business. When all is said and done, tax is paid on the corporate bottom line. Then out of my income, the Feds get 39.6%, the state gets their cut, plus tax on all the other shit I have to pay for on income I am spending that I already paid tax on.

On 150K yr (which is pretty damn good by most people’s standards) you’re left with the same amount as if you were to sit on your ass, do nothing, risk nothing, and collect from the gubbermint.

You need to bust through 500K per year to live the lifestyle we had way back when, and quite frankly, the stress is high and so is the risk.

ONE MORE FUCKING CENT IN TAXES AND I’M DONE. I either join everyone else collecting free shit, or leave and take my business elsewhere. There is no way in fucking hell you are going to take a 500k per year salary and give me the same living standard as someone making 100K or less.

Now if that’s what’s going through my head, how many other people in this country making over 100K a year are thinking the same thing?

How many won't even want to become professionals because the salary is just not that attractive after taxes?

How many will either leave or throw in the towel?

And after all is said and done, where does the money come from to pay for this free shit Bernie is proposing?

It ain’t coming out of my pocket, because I’m already contributing more than my fair share. And don’t give me this line of shit that the uber rich will pay for it because they either already left or will leave for reasons stated above.

Now let's address another of his asinine proposals: Minimum wage.

If you think corporations are going to shell out more money to pay you to do the same menial bullshit task, you are dead wrong. You will either be replaced by automation, or expected to do the duties of someone getting $15/hr, which may mean 2 cashiers at McDonald's instead of 4, so you will be hustling.

But let me share a small, light bulb moment:
For the past few month’s I’ve been using the Starbucks mobile app to place my order 5 minutes before arriving at the store. A few clicks and everything is ordered and paid for. My stuff is waiting at the end of the counter when I get there. No cashier necessary.

And here’s where I see things going:

Aside from being expected to do more to be paid more as an employee, as a consumer (me in the Starbucks example) you will MOST LIKELY BE FORCED to use that mobile app which eliminates an employee, or there will be a surcharge for ordering at the counter to pay for that person’s increased wage. Ipads, Kiosks, and mobile phones will quickly replace cashiers. Advancements in robotics and other automation fields will replace the burger flippers and other low-end jobs.

And yes, there are tons of other costs that will passed up and down the ladder if this shit flies.

Now ask yourself this:

If you are a struggling person working at a minimum wage job (and those jobs are really meant to be temporary anyway while you gain a skillset) what FUCKING DIFFERENCE does it make to you if you get a $3 raise or if you had a tax cut giving you the same take home pay?

Is it not obvious you get the same net pay without causing hardship and increased cost through the entire chain? If you're going to rant about not having enough money, protest against the one's taking it away from you (taxes) not the one's giving it to you.

So… you do not want Hillary indicted. You want her to win the fucking nomination because even if she wins the Oval Office it’s way better than Sanders, and Sanders has a much better chance of beating the republicans than Hillary. Just look at the last two elections. Free shit won out, and will again, only worse this time.

I’d rather take the corrupt lady, the slow decline, and continue to go about my business. I’ve been at the breaking point for a long time, but Sanders would drive me over the edge. As mentioned, I want Trump or Carson (based primarily on economic policy) but you can wish in one hand, shit in the other, and see which comes true first.

Let’s here from all sides on this…
If you are forced to have a demorat, who and why?
Do you even think we have a say in the matter or has our course been pre-planned and under way?

I am with you on the taxes....I too am in your income bracket...I think of all of the moments in life that I am missing so that people can just pop out kids and do nothing....why in the hell should we miss our families...friends....to pay for others to do nothing.

just welfare....corporate handouts...aid to other countries...and the list goes on and on.

I'm tired of you idiots who still think your vote will have some kind of an impact on the US gubmint. This country is run by the elites and their secret societies. They are wealthy and powerful beyond anything we can imagine and they know they will lose everything if people wake up and start organizing against them. So they will do WHATEVER they need to do to make sure that doesn't happen. They own both race horses, every election. They are masterful at steering the masses in the direction they want them to go. No way in hell would they leave something THAT important up to chance.
