OK, Hitler Jr. The cases in NC were black, white, Native American, male and female. Your assumption that they were black simply illustrates your ignorance. Please don’t procreate.

I don’t care what color they are. If they are illiterate, they should also be sterile and stripped of voting rights.
Its almost like my kid telling me what I should give it…

If you do that the rate of white children will drop significantly. North Carolina already did that and they are dodging several lawsuits. So exactly how does that solve fiscal problems, again.

Moving back to the economic state of affairs circa 1890 is not desirable. You didn’t address the point of how Germany is able to be both a high-wage and high union
area. That shows another way is possible than the current US craze for low-wage, low-tax, non-existent unions.

What we are seeing now is that the rich do not and can not drive demand enough to provide enough jobs for the American economy. Golden shower economic policy doesn’t work for the majority of citizens though perhaps it feels good for the superwealthy.

It is a false choice to claim that anyone who is opposed to the welfare cuts to pay for taxes for the wealthiest is therefore for taking care of the poor for their entire lives. Rather the question should be how much more should the rest of us take care of the rich. We have inequality not seen since the 1920′s or before and people want to argue that the cause is welfare or unions. That’s not an argument even remotely supported by facts.

And you don’t think the Germans manufacture elsewhere? Americans have jobs because it was a better idea to manufacture *in the United states* of all places instead of Germany. With the maze of regulations and other foolishness here, I cant imagine how bad it is.

As for putting “the least of us” out on the street – what should we do? Take care of them for generations to come?

As for the rich getting richer, their money can be accessed any time, all you have to do is actually work for it or offer a service they want. When you do, rich people tend to show up with cash in hand. Build a yacht, the rich will buy it, build a mansion, the rich will live in it and hire people to clean it. Get an education and the rich will doll out money to create an industry. The best among them will become rich themselves. The worst will earn a respectable living. It requires a 12 grade education, a respectable appearance and couth. When I was young and black, that’s what I had. It worked for me. It can be done.

Its pretty easy to get the money they have.. Nobody seems to want to do it.

The state is broke. People are leaving. The system must be dismantled. It didn’t work.

You just don’t have very much good to say about unions. I get that. You only say it on every post on every site. Someone could do a music review and your response would be along the lines of “Well the music would be better if the producer wasn’t in an union”.

Try shooting a different arrow in the quiver. In any respect strikes and private sector union membership are both at all time lows, in part because so many people have accepted the nonsensical idea that unions are bad things and are responsible for everything bad in the world. Of course these people tend to want to change the subject when it comes to the high unionization rate and greater social welfare state of say Germany, which is by many respects currently doing better than the US. Because according to the sort of simplistic thinking that blames unions and high wages for every social issue Germany should have fallen apart quite some time ago.

The idea that current days unions are striking every five seconds or have much impact on the private sector is ridiculous and shows that you would rather engage a straw man than answer the question of whether it is appropriate to cut welfare benefits by one year for the least among us so that the rich can get a little richer.

If its my money, why not dictate how its spent and how much?

The sterialization of the illiterate who cannot afford to raise children without The State is a practical solution to a probelm that plagues this country and many others.

Absolutely, By supporting Communist China, you dont have to worry about unions striking every five seconds. Michigan, Illinois, success stories.

Yeah business should not get a break. They should raise taxes on business so that more people can be helped.

That worked in Illinois. It will work in Michigan too! Michigan and especially Detroit is a success story. The GOP shouldnt try to change things and mess that up.

One thing Michigan has over Illinois, more people and businesses left there than Michigan last year.

Yea!

Tax cuts, budget shortfall – opps, let’s cut cash assistance from poor people. Next year we are going to hear this same song and dance and they will look to cut the remaining services food stamps, Medicaid and child care payments.

It looks the people need to galvanize and make some serious changes in MI. I understand an recall is in order for Governor Snyder, they need to make this happen and if permitted recall a few State Legislators while they are at it. Once again elections matter. Its quite interesting the the people who stayed home and misunderstood the power of their vote are the ones who are getting screwed over now. This is an extremely unfortunate situation for the people of MI.
