'cmon man -- like you haven't seen those Youtube videos of elementary school teachers lounging on the beach in the French Riviera? Tooling around town in their tricked out Maybachs? Clearly that's Wisconsin's REAL problem: fat-cat public school teachers soaking the taxpayers and doing nothing in return (well, except ... educating their children :roll: ).
Lol, hey AdamT and the rest of you liberals, wake up. Your policies don't work, NO STATE can afford your policies and states that reject your foolish ideas get their houses in order and their economic growth rates higher.
The thing that really "gets me" with liberals is that they don't understand this basic common sense like principle, a principle that says that our economic standard of living comes from our individual level of production. When you kill that through taxes and regulation, you kill your own economic standard of living. You THINK more government involvement makes your life better, it doesn't. You THINK government running healthcare will make it better, it won't. You THINK government running education has made it better, it hasn't. You THINK government taxing the rich and "spreading the wealth to you in the form of more welfare" will make your life better it will make it worse.
Liberals don't seem to look at the BIG PICTURE, the entire SCOPE of the situation. This example I'm about to provide is a good example of liberalism.
It's like a person that sees a bum on the street and their "compassion" says to go give him money to feed himself, clothe himself and provide a better way of living for himself. So their compassion makes them say I have $10k in the bank, let me give this guy $2k to help him. BUT, after you give him $2k he goes out and immediately buys more drinks to become more a drunk, plus the extra money allows him to buy this little beat down car off some "guy" he knows. Now we have a drunk behind the wheel. He kills some innocent person, ends up in prison for life and you, are now out of $2k with a lot of havoc caused. All "losses" in this situation.
I know that's an extreme example, but that's liberalism, it looks like it's "helping" but in actuality, all it does is make things worse than they were before. Liberals try looking at the BIG picture, the overall SCOPE of everything, then maybe you will understand why conservatives are against liberalism and why capitalism, is the NUMBER ONE economic system, line of thought and program in the world and the ONLY chance ANYBODY has of making life better for themselves, their family and their community.
