Monsanto runs the government?!?!?!
I understand fiscal conservatism, but why do Republicans insist on destroying Michigan?
Snyder is doing what any fiscal conservative would do with a budget shortfall--increase taxes thus increasing spending.
OK, So who will be facing cuts?
Seniors and low income.
1.8 billion
Who gets the money? The budget shortfall? No, big corporations with big taxes.
Yes, Republicans should be VERY proud that we continue the spiral of fattening the wealthiest among us........
So, I also get cutting back on salaries, government workers, etc. But if we pull funding from local officials only to replace them with appointed Republican Snyder cronies... Uh oh.
Anywho, would to hear from the other side too.
And not the 'Republican' side, I think Democrat or Republican both have been selling out.

Unions are Communists in Disguise
What?
Please, stick around for a conversation, unlike the Democrats who high-tailed it out of Wisconsin. But please, don't be an idiot and liken unions to communists.
You're unfortunately an uneducated fool if you do.
In the case of Madison its the public-sector unions in the spotlight. Maybe we need more private sector unions to help out the wage gap. Do CEOs really deserve 100s of billions in bonuses every year? It's a rock and hard place dilemma in Madison cause it seems that there is a conflict of interest in public-sector unions fighting against the tax payers and voters by trying to effectively overturn the election results in Wisconsin.
I'm not naive to assume the Unions are simply defending the workers well being and their livelihood, there's always a bigger picture. But it had nothing to with patriotism or communism.
Follow this closely, it might start something in the US that will make us all better off, wel lmaybe not the top 1000 wealthiest, but they can go live their days in Cuba if they think this country is ripping them off.
Anyways, I gotta head off and pick somethings up at Wal-Mart. after all, they do have the cheapest prices, post the biggest profits, have the largest bonuses, and pay their workers the least. I like (not.)

The devastation is unimaginable. Keep them in your prayers. And don't send them socks....

We aint broke
Wouldn't mind seeing evidence for his claims about the top 400.
I do agree, however, that it' sightly clear there is a huge wage disparity in this country....

Opposing Freedoms
Someone recently asked me why the political left oppressed freedoms?
I sorta sat stunned, but only for a second. You can certainly post here how the political left is a step away from communism (that's fear mongering and not conducive to any form of intellectual dialogue).
But for the rest of us, here are a few ways the conservative RIGHT makes WRONG when it comes to freedoms.
They bar freedoms from: equal rights movments, muslims, gays, immigrants (AZ), marijuana (that one is a bit sketch), marriage, abortion, medicare, and heck, if your'e poor, then capitalism too !
(Ok the last one was tongue in cheek.)

Obamacare Legit?
Forget the fact we pay the most for healthcare than any other developed nation (maybe not the most, but it's among the highest), and that includes those with universal healthcare.
I want to know how we'll pay for healthcare (we can't do it now) when the majority of the population needs it (baby boomers anybody?)
I'm scared cause it's my taxes that will have to go to those old farts who put me into a mountain of eternal deb.t
But one more thing, the COST of medicare.
Would you chose to have medicare for all for the same price, or pay more for health that's available only to some?
I know it' snot that simple, but there's something to be said about the money we spend and the lack of services we receive. It's a huge deal.
