(905 posts)They act like Obama hates/resents individual success. How idiotic. Right wing minds must be small, because it appears if you ever admit government can do any good then you must be a socialist. They can never admit government does anything well or their whole argument crumbles to dust. Tell your cousin to move to Somalia and try and be successful there. No man is an island. WE built those fucking roads. WE bleed to death on those battlefields where our forefathers fought for capital "F" Freedom. WE fought for workers rights, weekends, and living wages. WE made those public universities with giant land grants. WE supported those public schools. Hell, WE bailed out those big banks after they got into trouble. WE saved the nation from another depression and now they are trying to tell me they "built something". Whoop De Doo! What utter fucking BS.
Now for my two cents worth of free think. I think we need to turn the argument back to Freebaggers and ask them why they want everything for free, without paying their fair share in taxes? Ask them how George W. was paying down the debt by giving tax cuts to the rich and starting 2 wars with his credit card?
Remind people how the rich are still gaming the system and then ask what Mitt is hiding by not releasing his tax returns?
