States

So only the Dems. are whores? - Classy guy.

The democrats promise the unions a blank check, in return for unions providing volunteers and campaign contributions at election time. Is 'whores' that far off? Not to me.

"I want my $33K?" Then advocate for a flat tax. Which puts you in the far right-wing extreme of the GOP.

"And not my job to help KY"

Again, take that up with Blumenthal and Murphy.

It's a separate issue. We give the state a ton of money. More than enough to reasonably run a small state. They chose to overspend by jillions of dollars. That practice will eventually come back to haunt you. Within ten years, we start bouncing pension checks. We've all known that was coming for 40 years. None of us as the right to be surprised by that. When you plant potatoes, you get potatoes. When you take an insane amount of taxes from your citizenry and somehow manage to spend $100 billion more, you will find yourself unable to fund spending at some point. If we don't like that reality, we could have chosen to change our ways at any point in the last 40 years. We chose to double down on liberalism. Oh, well.

Everything I have for retirement is in Roth-type accounts, so the state can't touch it when they decide to massively jack up tax rates in a few years. It won't effect me much. Any idiot could see this coming.

Tell Mitch to say Thanks for the $ that comes from Ct. to KY.

You're very angry.

When a middle-of-the-road guy like TDF, who rarely comments here, tells you to calm down...maybe give his advice some consideration.

good one. calling people whores. Classy man. Look at your very first post and the anger you exhibit.

He basically doesn't comment and he is not middle of the road.

I am convinced that the democrats in the legislature know the damage they are doing. They do it anyway, because their union masters order them to. When the state collapses, they won't care, they will have cashed out.

So if 'whores' is offensive to your delicate sensibilities (again, how about you grow a pair), suggest another term for these crooked parasites like Aresimowicz. Aresimowicz has a second home in SC of all places! SC! If he truly believed one word of the bullsh-t he inflicts upon us, that's the last place in the world he'd want to own a second home. So he knows its advantageous to have low taxes, but he denies that benefit to the people he claims to represent.

someone asked if your mom worked at a truck stop and you cried like a little girl. So let's not talk about delicate sensibilities. I take more crap than anyone here. I was raised not to call people whores but I guess not everyone was raised that way I guess.

You left out the part about what he claimed she did there.

Cried? Whereas you go tattling to TDF nonstop nowadays, when TDF brought this up, I specifically told him not to worry about it. Then I told Pete very very specifically, what I thought of him. That's crying like a girl? Or is that handling it like a man? Maybe you can't tell the difference anymore.

I think if you went back and read the types of posts you used to make (fact-based, clear, challenging, accurate), you wouldn't recognize the posts you make now.

"I take more crap than anyone here"

You're pretty comfortable dishing it out.

"I was raised not to call people whores '

And I was raised to believe it's OK to call a spade a spade. The democrats who ruined this state, and got rich doing it, don't deserve any niceties in my book. If the best you can do is call me out for my rough edges, we can all assume that you can't challenge my facts or conclusions.

"I take more crap than anyone here"

You're pretty comfortable dishing it out.You would have difficulty finding any posts that I started the rude, classless behavior that is here everyday.

"I was raised not to call people whores '

And I was raised to believe it's OK to call a spade a spade. The democrats who ruined this state,but it is the conservatives who have their hands in other people's pockets and accept $ and then criticize the people giving them the $. Maybe you should re-examine your use of the word whore. and got rich doing it, don't deserve any niceties in my book. If the best you can do is call me out for my rough edges, we can all assume that you can't challenge my facts or conclusions.

Your whole premise is wrong. The cons. states should be called the whores (to use your vile term) as they can't pay their own way but want the liberal states to give them $.

Yup, as I said - classy guy. Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics.

Because to you, Hilary Clinton is probably your idea of middle of the road.

I’m not?? That’s news to me.

Maybe if the road would stop meandering, I may have a better chance of staying in the center lane.
