Down the Tubes with Dubya

[p0ink]

why wont you or any of you other liberals explain the blatant hypocrisy on your own side? im well aware of it, im just waiting to see the asanine way you people try to justify it.

 

[Sushi X]

the way i see it, i know i'm probably alone here, is that we have an obligation to protect our environment. it's not our responsibility to tell other countries what to do with theirs. we can however, offer suggestions and join in treaties such as the kyoto. the thing republicans fail to realize is with freedom comes responsibility. corporations have the freedom to produce what they want as long as it's legal and to distribute it. with that comes responsibility. they have a responsibility not to polute our water ways, our air and our drinking water. republicans feel it's more important to let them throw their trash anywhere and give them corporate welfare. all the while, the taxpayers fit the bill to clean up their mess and we also have to spend our money to buy their product. it's the corporations responsibility to follow EPA guidelines or face the consequences, but there are none under the current admin.

it's not hypocrisy, it's common sense.

now, you've heard my(mine alone) thoughts, now enlighten us with your point of view. and i'm not trying to fight with you p0ink, but you and others often turn this into a bash fest. i've got no beef with you or anyone. each is entitled to his or her own point of view.

 

[Sushi X]

bump.

i guess none can debate common sense eh?

This is a blatant mischaracterization that sounds good to liberals. Many if not most Americans prefer bottled drinking water these days, and it is produced cheaply and readily available thanks to profitable corporations. Do you drink bottled water? Thank a corporation.

As far as taxpayers paying for the mean old corporations. Most communities are clamoring for more industry and willing to give tax incentives (welfare, as you call it) so they can have more jobs, buy more stuff, drive newer cars, etc.

You don't have to buy any product, but if there was no need, there wouldn't be products. Capitalism is a thing of beauty!

So, because a corporation provides SOME taxypayers with a desirable product or provides SOME taxpayers with jobs, they can shift their clean-up costs to ALL taxpayers?

I've always been concerned about where our hard-earned tax dollars go, that's why I vote Democrat.

 

[RyanH]

you want to make sure they are wasted. thats very honorable. democrats do not enjoy working hard to earn their tax dollars, thats why the unions, senior citizens and other social services recipients support democratic candidates.

I would rather hard-working union members and our nation's elderly receive my money than the Pentagon, big oil, or the Department for promoting abstinence.

 

[RyanH]

thats a good oxymoron. i have an idea. get rid of social security and let the elderly be responsible for their own savings. god forbid people be responsible for themselves and not have the to depend on the government.

How does the elderly save, when many of them, while working, only made 10 bucks an hour and supported 2 children on that salary?

 

[RyanH]

hmmm, Smegma you sould familiar. heh heh.

 

[RyanH]

So Smegma, how will it make you feel cruising along in your Mercedes while you see Grannie sleeping under a cold damp bridge?
