baddog Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'll be dead by then but I hope you younger people stop the stealing from the working man who paid their fair share and then some. Remember how everyone felt about Enron bilking the life savings from their employees? Government does the same thing except they give it to undeserving individuals. 77 and liltex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Let's look at this logically. Folks on Social Security Retirement Program have paid in to have that money. Folks on welfare haven't pain in, so surely the Govt will cut the welfare folks and take care of those who worked, right? So no way would they cut SS, right? Right? Right? Right? And Uncle Sam said, Wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You CANNOT trust the fed gov with your money...sadly, the takers are more than happy to trust the fed gov with your money so they can have it.

Hagar Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 On last nights news, I heard that SS recipients were getting a $2 per month raise. Oh, and their Medicare payments were going up $26 per month. I'm no accountant, but I think I need to buy some lubricant of some kind for this Govt love-in.

nappyroots Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 The theory on trump is the ole, if you can't beat him join him. Trump bad mouthed all of his republican candidates very badly, then most of them jumped on his bandwagon, except Mitt and the three Bushes Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are saying that Abraham Lincoln was an unworthy President and that Henry Ford and Walt Disney were poor business managers. Just for the record, Mr. Trump never went bankrupt personally. If bankruptcy troubles you so much, why arent you going crazy about Solyndra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you invest money with a investment firm that went bankrupt four times or one that never has. I'm surprised you hold Rockefeller in such high esteem. After all, he was a devoted Baptist and funded many Christian organizations that the left hold in such contempt. In his later years he did use his wealth to do a lot of good, but his wealth was accumulated off the backs of his employees. You know, the employees that worked from sun up to sun down with no overtime pay, no 401K, no benefits of any kind, no sick leave, no maternity leave, no paternity leave, no union representation... I'm not familiar with his hiring practices of minorities. Would the diversity of his workforce pass the Affirmative Action mustard? Maybe your admiration stems from the fact that he and Carnegie were so adept in cornering the markets that they forced Congress to create anti-monopoly and anti-trust laws. I'm just guessing here. Please enlighten us as to why you feel Rockefeller represents the pinnacle of the business world. Hagar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
