Let's be real. Both Democrats and Republicans are Patriotic, we just disagree on how to express it and the methods. Both sides use the worst examples of the other side to show that they aren't Patriotic. At least I'm objective. I understand this.
The worst example of Republicans that I posted here or the name calling (Republicants) is to show you guys how immature it really is when you have childish and funny names for Liberals. Lol. Really. Lets be men. We aren't teenage girls using variations of the word Liberals, or Conservatives or Democrats and so on. Changing Presidents' names around to insult them it's all very unpatriotic.
Also, it's difficult to engage in civil and productive debates when uninformed posters make generic and tremendously inaccurate statements such as all Democrats hate law enforcement or all Democrats are lazy and don't work. Democrats don't pay taxes. Really? How many Republicans are guilty of all this?
How many Republicans sitting in these small towns or cities on welfare complaining about blacks ad Latinos and other immigrants taking all their jobs as an excuse to sit on their fat asses and not work? All the while the latinos are scratching and clawing and finding any work they can and sending their kids to college and the kids are getting degrees and decent jobs. That's the American way and that's why I don't hate illegals, I respect them for their work ethic. Still, I maintain my stance that they should still have to follow the immigration rules but I still respect their drive and hard work (there's bad apples of course but there's bad American born apples too) and not losing sleep over them. I'm too ambitious and happy in my own life to obsess over it. My life personally isn't drastically affected by these things.
I keep reading about Democrats are this and that. Why aren't we focusing on Government (both Liberal and Conservative) instead of being at each other's throats?
If we haven't been able to completely stop illegal immigration (which again I'm opposed to illegals, that's one of several areas where I agree with you guys on) why aren't we focusing on other issues like taxes for one? Without divulging too much (I don't want my real identity revealed obviously) I worked in taxes and helped bust a ''small'' business where they were bringing in illegals and getting them to work at their business for peanuts. The owners were making a goldmine evading taxes. Paying the illegals under the table, not filing the correct income of the business. Due to a slip up which led to an audit, they were assessed fines of well into the 6 figures on top of the back taxes they owed.
They were Republicans. On their Facebook pages they had anti illegal immigration memes etc. Lol. Don't believe me? Use common sense. Who are these illegals working for if they don't have papers? They are nannies to wealthy Americans of all races even Latinos. They are mechanics, cleaners, builders, etc all working under the table for peanuts. You think you guys are going to round them all up and keep the others from coming in? No. (Although we need to try our best of course)
I'm not saying just the Republicans are hiring illegals but they are and you know it. Unless you are in denial. That business? Up and running and doing great again. More illegals. Hefty fines are easy to pay when you making a goldmine. Why would a drug dealer quit making piles of cash if all he gets is a slap on the wrist? We need to crack down on the Americans that are taking advantage of illegals. Crack down hard. Especially the businesses.
Compounding the problem is that these illegals are filing their taxes (again firsthand knowledge of this, I worked in the tax department for awhile, not very long) and claiming like 4, 5 sometimes 8 dependents! They are getting 5 figure refunds! Multiply that by how many illegals? What's worse is that sometimes when we went out to check, the kids actually lived back home in Mexico. How do they file without social security numbers? There's ways. They are given temporary numbers. On top of that we cut out checks blindly at tax time for refunds. Because the government has to have refunds out in a certain amount of time or they have to pay interest. God forbid they confirm sometimes and save thousands. No, they don't want to risk paying 78.00 of interest lol
So that and the other much bigger expense I keep bitching about. Our excessive military bases all around the world. BILLIONS of dollars annually. They aren't even reporting how much it actually is but even what they do report is in the Billions.
Yes it's imperative that we have a presence at some strategic places but many are unnecessary. Not to mention many of the American soldiers out there are getting in trouble and making Americans look bad. Sexual assaults and what not. This isn't that frequent but even once is too much. But I digress, the money is the issue here.
So why aren't we closing down some of these bases? POLITICS OF COURSE! No President wants to be the one to close the bases down because they are worried about ratings and votes. No President wants to be the one to change something that's just been continuing for fear of shaking things up or being accused by voters of making a mistake. It's easier to just let things be how they are than make a big move like that. Besides, how many Americans actually care or even know how many billions are being wasted on military bases that really serve no real purpose?
No we are too busy fighting over who loves America more. Too busy coming up with insulting names for Presidents or Liberals or conservatives, too busy whining about money being wasted on welfare and this and that when there's billions being wasted on stupid shit just because President after President ignores it to play it on the safe side. There's no political angle or advantage of playing that card so just leave it be. That's their logic.
We close down these bases, we crack down hard on people that hire the illegals, and we make some major changes at the tax department. Well now we are talking about some substantial amount of money being saved for America. It's a start and it's so easy if we can all just work together and attack this issue with both Republican and Democratic candidates. They don't want to touch the issue of the bases and they don't have to! Lol. Cause nobody cares. Yet it costs us more money than a lot of the things we fight over.
Okay, yeah I obsess a lot of the bases I know. I've been to one of them personally. I just can't convey to you how much it makes my blood boil what I saw and what I heard from the officials there.
We'll never agree on wars. I don't believe Iraq should've happened. Noway. It's a travesty and a stain on our history as America along with many other stains like the false flags back when we had the whole Cuba issue. So fine no point going in circles arguing about which war should've happened or where we should be involved overseas. But we have to agree on some of these bases where nothing is happening, nothing ever will, and it's purely a military presence for the sake of having a presence.
FUCKEN BILLIONS! All because it's easier for President after President to leave it be rather than shake things up.
Time for me to get some sun! Lol. Long weekend for me. I earned myself some fun. Later Rxers!
