> If only you were as half as smart as you think you are.
dcbiker is a bot account of some kind. If you look at 99 percent of comments posted by the account, you'll see they're just cut and paste jobs from elsewhere on the net. This crap it posted above is from here, a book published in 1964 (thanks Google):
I've come to realize that both parties love the banks and national debt. The only person who made paying off the national debt an actual priority was Andrew Jackson, founder of the Democrat Party. We were debt free for a solid year.
Not that big pharma doesn't need to be fought because it certainly does but this is a bit like worrying about the curtains in a tornado. Have you folks seen what the GOP has done to Obamacare?
Pharma is about to be the least of your concerns.
>Now I'm an expat who lives in another country and have to fight fucking tooth and nail every year or lie about health coverage to avoid paying the fucking fine.
There's no fine if you live abroad:
>U.S. citizens living in a foreign country for at least 330 days of a 12-month period are not required to get health insurance coverage for that 12-month period. If you're uninsured and living abroad under this definition, you qualify for a health insurance exemption. This means you don’t have to pay the fee that other uninsured people must pay.
> I never even said the phrase, except quoting, so how is MY phrasing implying anything?
Wow, both your memory and reading skills must suck, since you forgot all about your earlier comment which you should be able to read:
>"act like a male adult."
> Wow, citing "wiktionary," was urban dictionary busy lol
If you've got a better source with a definition, provide it.
> You have some pretty sexist views, thinking that women are always crying, since you're making that conclusion from the phrase.
No, I'm making that conclusion from the definition that was provided.
> You line of reasoning that a woman is the opposite of a man is highly questionable as well.
Not really - since you're reading skills are lacking, I'll point you to the antonyms section.
> As I've tried to explain to you before, that phrase is (usually) used today to refer to acting like an adult.
Provide a source.
Some facts about Jeff Bezos, founder/CEO of Amazon and owner of WaPo:
he's very very very extremely wealthy, so he obviously stands to lose from a tax perspective if Bernie wins
Despite being ideologically opposed to the Democratic Party (at least in principle), Bezos has enjoyed friendly ties with both the Obama administration and the CIA. As Michael Oman-Reagan notes, Amazon was awarded a $16.5 million contract with the State Department the last year Clinton ran it. http://www.geekwire.com/2012/bezos-secretary-clinton-announce-amazon-kindleus-gov-deal/
Amazon also has over $600 million in contracts with the Central Intelligence Agency, an organization Sanders said he wanted to abolish in 1974, and still says he “had a lot of problems with.”
Feel free to add more.
For the record, the origin of this quote (or some variation on it) generally traces back to 1951, likely either from an an advocacy group like the Michigan Institute of Local Government or an editorial in <em>The Oklahoman</em>. It's not from Franklin, Tocqueville, Tytler, or Socrates...despite many image macros attesting otherwise.
> How would he go about dissolving the private insurance companies?
He doesn't have to a thing about that..they will just no longer have ~~any~~ many customers.
>Force the banks to break up?

Implement a tax on Wall Street speculation?

>Convince other Sunni dominated nations to wage a ground war in Iraq and Syria?
Are you trying to say that is not what should be done or that it is hard to do?
>Remove the GOP and moderates as obstacles?
Moderates are not obstacles. Every one of his proposals have majority approval.
Now for the GOP they are doing a good job of that by themselves.
>Tell me again how Sanders supporters are more knowledgable of the issues and are not just towing a line.
Because it is Sen. Sanders who is drawing the line unlike someone who is telling us how we have to do what the right wing wants because it is hard to fight them.
I think Hillary using right-wing arguments like "free stuff" to descriebe universal healthcare and free college (https://theintercept.com/2016/01/12/hillary-clinton-in-2008-since-when-do-other-democrats-attack-each-other-on-universal-healthcare/) and not answering the question if Netanyahu is right to kill 1000s of civilians are the worst right-wing moments of this week. Too bad they happened in a democratic primary. Also, her defending Citizens United over and over again...
Makes me sad inside :(
I don't buy or take drugs. There's a growing awareness, even among conservatives, that Trumpers' endless addiction to government-imposed cruelty and punishment only expands drug addiction. We once outlawed alcohol, and punished alcoholics. It failed too. Try using science. Ask WHY addicts do what they do. Prohibition and punishment deter bank robbers. But not addicts, and not gangsters.
> They continue to perpetrate the "pay gap doesn't exist" myth
Maybe PolitiFact needs to be in the list of woman-hating sites of SPLC too? Their servers are white supremacists, maybe?
> (an uncritical review of MRAs meant to pat them on the back and bash feminists, rather than make people think)
A movie made by a feminist woman, who made documentaries about LGBT rights before. Yea. Very uncritical.
What's next? Accidental courtesy is "an uncritical review of KKK meant to pat them on the back and bash niggas, rather than make people think"?
Poisoning the well - check!
what about the text version? so far i haven't been able to discredit their sources. i was shocked too!
easily verifiable. has been verified. attached is the original article from which the video was made.
dirty dirty dirty
I suggest The Trial of Henry Kissinger By Christopher Hitchens.
Such a cool guy, its very dignified how he fucked your freedom even more days before he leaves office:
I am so sorry for you. You (and others like you) are exactly who the ACA was supposed to benefit most--and it would, if not for Republican governors in red states!
However, there is good news. There are a number of exemptions to the penalty fee. It sounds like you qualify for an exemption. So you shouldn't get hammered with a big fee.
>I pointed to the Igm panel because it is a good metric for what most economists think
Once again why do we need to guess. There is no practical experience to back up those estimates...most economist also predicted run away inflation...that didn't happen either.
there is no real danger to the economy or workers...say there was a 1% job lose....it would be such a bone to the economy it wouldn't last...and we just save a ton of money we can afford aid for those who do lose..still not admitting it would happen.
>I think 12 is a more realistic number for economic reason
$12 would work if you kept some other form of government program the EIC or heating assistance or medicaid . $15 put separation between work and assistance. Assistance is what you need when you are not working.
$16 is honestly more than what is needed to do that.
>Currently, an average American needs to earn $19.35 to afford rent on a two-bedroom unit. That's a few dollars more than the $15.16 average hourly wage earned by the average American renters, and 2.5 times the federal minimum wage
The $15 would put upward wage pressure on all wages below $20 and include 1/2 of Americans.

> Bill Clinton the first black president
Are you incapable of a basic google search? The fact that you don't know this tells me you are a child in age compared to me. I voted for Jimmy Carter. Were you even alive then? How in the hell do you get off telling me about the Democratic party? Go back to momma. You are just constantly wrong.

keep your head in the sand though, and continue to do your fun little tricks for your corporate masters.
no, as OP said African Americans totalled 11 million votes, and Obama only won by 3 million. Obviously, it would affect the electoral college, although I'm not sure exactly how much. This article came up in another subreddit, r/dataisbeautiful, and I thought it was very intriguing.

My point is, GOVERNMENT outlaws drugs. GOVERNMENT imposes failed experiments in punishment. GOVERNMENT takes away an addict's freedom. GOVERNMENT builds expensive taxpayer-funded prisons that house and feed millions, then kicks people onto the street with permanent job-killing felony records. It creates unemployment, homelessness, discouragement, and a return to the comforts of drugs and the money from drug dealing. The Clintons foolishly supported punishment all through the 1990s. But they get it now. True conservatives are starting to get it, too. But Trumpers don't. Well, except when it comes to addition to cigarettes, alcohol, and opioids. Those are LEGAL but REGULATED. So should illicit drugs.
Please read [Chasing the Scream](https://www.audible.com/pd/Chasing-the-Scream-Audiobook/B00S5AAVGK?qid=1546214379&sr=sr_1_1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=SPKY8ET78EV8HDNJG2N2&). It'll challenge your beliefs. See if they can hold up.
another clinton supporter is a liar. it leads from the top.

You know, you can believe that Hillary isnt corrupt all day long, but just keep in mind Bernie isn't groveling to big banks for money
>And in the meantime, no one knows what's in it. Not comic strip writers, not blowhards on TV, not anonymous Internet posters.
Actually, yeah, there have been leaks and politicians that have read it that say "Why would you even defend this it's terrible".
Please, dude, get off the high horse of ignorance and actually read up. This is actually really bad and people like you are not helping anyone but the 1%, the men that want people like you that are wrong and to convince others their ways.
Do some research next time. And this time. And the rest of the times.
Way cool. Be sure to post some live shots if you can.
You can get 3' x 5' Biden flags for $6 with free two day shipping if you need flags. I have not seen them near this cheap anywhere.
Super cheap deal.
We are in the internet age, all of this knowledge is available currently on the internet, in every university with an economics department, as well as at the library for literally no cost. You don't say that other people "don't understand the modern world" and then when challenged on it say "well you never taught me".
I am currently reading The Undercover Economist. Send me a PM and I will buy you a copy of The Undercover Economist and The Undercover Economist Strikes Back. Alternatively there is Core Econ, a new program for free online which I was considering switching to: http://www.core-econ.org/
Edit: no actually interest in learning? Didn't think so.
xpost of my comment there: James Heath: The top 2% pay the highest tax amount because they earn (and take home) the greatest share. They also benefit from this tax break extension, on the first $250,000 they earn – they are only going to revert back to earlier rate on additional income over that amount (See The Wealth of Nations’ section on the necessity of a graduated tax system due to what we now call Diminishing Marginal Utility for why this makes sense and is ‘fair’, or as he puts it, ‘not unreasonable’). Do not forget that the total paid rate rate is often going to be lower for the higher earning households than many in the middle income brackets because their income is more likely to be from capital gains, taxed at a lower rate (all the way to 0%, but generally 10-15% currently) than normal income.
Saying “49% pay nothing” is misleading at best. Right now, about 50% pay no federal income tax, that is correct. Most do still pay federal excise taxes based on their income level, meaning that an average income household (roughly $50,000) is paying about 12% in federal taxes while you are accusing them of paying nothing. This also doesn’t include state income or sales taxes.
No, essayist, orator, religious and literary critic, and journalist. I just finished reading From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1776, real history by a real historian with real sources. No where does it call Kissinger a war criminal. Part of the Oxford History of the United States where he went in fact. An award winning book in fact. Kissinger was obsessed with secrecy but you would do well not to blame him for Nixon's actions. Kissinger wanted out of Vietnam and Nixon overruled him constantly. You would also do well to understand that Truman sent us down that path, Ike kept it going, Kennedy made it worse, LBJ escalated and all because the Congress demanded it. Times were different back then. American paranoia reigned supreme.
