he's a republican who would "out your shit in a second" and then hope you get "thrown to the streets with the cops waiting".

in other words, he's a bitter little snitch.

I think it's the other way around, in that "corporations" wouldn't pay to adjust laws to benefit themselves, if the government didn't have both the power to enforce, and the vulnerabilities to be exploited for gains. I think if "corporations" were ever at odds with government policies, they would strive to find ways to subvert the policies and/or government... which many have now effectively done, which is part of why things are as they are now, and "corporations" (i.e. contrived business entities representing the special interests of small groups based on establishing profit engines) apparently have more rights than "individuals." Essentially, this amounts to a misrepresented circumstance, in which the will of a "group" is held as more important than the will of "one person," but in fact, it's not just "one person" versus "a group," and even if it was, we're supposed to be protecting the minorities, not using "mob rule" (aka "democracy") to determine that a group of wealthy investors should have the right to circumvent and disregard the protections for the individuals, meant to be preserved, not "granted," by the constitution and bill of rights. They've even gone as far as to launch massive propaganda campaigns, in order to Con-vince enough people to vote for the ideas they want; which is often contrary to the ideas of "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."

Government was supposed to stay "small" and stay out of people's personal lives, and people were supposed to remain "Free." Much has happened since, and now there is a "faction" which asserts it has legitimate authority to harm "individuals" for the sake of its own gains. And despite the blatantly fallacious nature of nearly all of their attempts to self-justify, they continue to back all of their assertions with more and more violence against We The People.

I consider them infidels and usurpers, hijackers even; certainly not the rightful leaders of this nation.

Rob Roy almost has it right. Unfortunately, the government has to have a portion of itself be coercive to be able to deal with certain members of society. It is a necessary evil to a society. However, those laws and situations should be as small as possible. We have gone way beyond it.

First of all, there is a law or guideline that demands that all legislation be understandable by the average citizen. Well, that is obviously being broken every day with 2000 page legislation that nobody reads.

Second there is a law or guideline that says that laws should not be made unless there is harm to another party. If you speed down the road you are only offering POTENTIAL harm, not actual harm to another party. However, the government has decided that it can legislate and fine you based on the potential harm you might cause. This is against the basis of the constitution.

Another is that the government has no right to tell you what to do with your body or what or what not to put into it. The government should not be involved in the abortion debate at all. It should not be dealing with healthcare in any way, it should not be regulating and legislating the use of alcohol, tobacco nor any other drug. Yes, every drug should be legal to a consenting adult with advised consent from a doctor.

The government has no right to know what your wages are much less tax you on them. Any government needs income and it could be generated from the revenue of Commerce, not stolen from people's tables before they even see it. There should be a flat sales tax to cover it and no IRS, no annual tax reporting, no garnished wages or stolen bank balances, no threat of jail time for not contributing enough.

I could go on and on and on. Our constitution is a pretty amazing document. There are items that it didnt include like voting for blacks and women that were properly amended. However, the federal government has taken the very tool used to constrain it and perverted it into something that allows the government to get into every crevice of our lives. The founders knew it would happen, they wrote about it and said the people will have to rise up when they have had enough.

I am about done, how about you?

you've told us before that you are watching fox news from the moment you wake up and then several hours of it every single fucking day.

pathetic.

and you never did fill us in on how you made $100k over 4 years, then sold the shit scraping biz for $50k, only to make $200k in profit.

we all really want to know how you had NEGATIVE $50,000 in operating expenses, taxes, and the like.

When I say I made x I mean that is the amount I put in my pocket after expenses. Are you begging me to give you a primer in how to be a small business owner? It is easy, you just sponge off your wife for money and lie around on a couch all day watching weeds grow while feeling sorry for yourself. You should know, you are an expert at it!!

and you made another $50k in profit after you sold the shit scraping biz and paid taxes, etc.

so how did you make $200k in profit then? where did the other $50,000 come from?

i want to know how you did that, we all do. enlighten us, oh intelligent one.

The Republican party has failed more than the Democratic party. I blame them for leaving their principals out of fear of losing elections. The Republicans are RINO'S now and all we have are Democrat and Democrat-Lite.

Anyone who is still partisan like Hannity is wasting my time. At least Rush Limbaugh is still entertaining. Hannity is just shrill and annoying.

I have been moving toward libertarian for about 10 years now. I used to say conservative until I realized that conservatism had no problem with legislation to make things the way they want them. I want less legislation, less government involvement, etc. The 2 parties are just fighting over how much power they can steal from the people. I am done with that crap.

I assure you, there is plenty hard work to go around. The real problem is that those looking to buy labor, want the best labor at the cheapest prices, and then wonder why they're not getting the best labor for their dollar.

Lack of hard work is not the problem. Most people are willing to bust ass in exchange for their wants and needs. What they're not willing to do, is accept too little compensation for their best labor-product, and put up with an overly critical, greedy, penny-pinching jerk of a boss, who expects everyone to value boss-man's profits above their own.

You don't amass considerable wealth by selling your time and labor for dollars; you do so by paying other people less than they want, to do all the work for you. If you scrape a small profit from the labor of numerous employees, you've accumulated large profits, much larger than any single person can do by merely selling their own time, energy, labor, health, etc., for an insufficient wage, which is only touted as "sufficient" by those trying to pay the least for it... who are also the only ones claiming "lack of hard work is the problem."

You are quite literally putting the cart before the horse.

You think jobs exist to provide you with your needs.

Jobs exist to accomplish the necessary tasks of a business.

wow

I linked personal info to my username?
Fucker, you had to join a poker site just to get my nickname. A poker site that got real uneasy when a stalker like you arrived and the site owner logged your IP out of fear of what you might be capable of.

Then you joined a dating site that I joined so I could browse for hotties in a new area I moved to and you posted everything from there. The funny part is, I never did more than create a username there for browsing. You ended up posting generic shit.

You constantly run to mods here telling on people and when called out about it, you blamed me for your IP being logged. Took other posters out of context to try to make them look like the narcs. It made you look worse than if you just admitted to what a stalker you are.

Not only are you a pathological liar, you are a horrible person. Every time I see you do some lowhanded shit, you accuse somebody else of doing it in an effort to deflect from your own psychosis.

We can have fun here, we can troll here, but you went after my personal life. All you could find was a nickname and that I was divorced. If you could have found my place of work, address and pictures, there is no doubt you would have posted them.

Nope he got his point and retorted accurately.

Jobs don't exist to earn Joe Schmo money, they exist because a business needs labour to function. They recruit and people apply willingly for the job at the advertised salary/wage.

The employee is there to serve the business owners requirements, not the opposite way around.
