Through the looking glass: dinner with the tea party

For some reason the government should have let Detroit go bankrupt because all they are doing is bailing out the CEOs. I wonder how if they put all those people out of work how that would possibly have helped the economy? I also wonder how rolling back one hundred years of labor law that went along with those jobs would help either. My friend appears indifferent as to the ripple effect that this would have on the Michigan economy. These laid off people would no longer be unable to buy things at stores and restaurants. This is a position that shows very little concern on empathy to the people lives while totally valuing the cerebral thought of economic austerity.


The most important right that the federal government provides is the second amendment: the right to bear arms and defend yourself. All's I know is I heard how tough it was to buy a gun in certain states - why don't you want me to have a gun - no, I really don't care if you have one. Thanks NRA for the talking points. Machine gun like weapons, that spray more bullets than water from a water hose, can't be regulated because of the "slippery slope" from banning one M-16 to leaving the citizenry defenseless with sling shots. They live in an area where they can't leave their first floor windows open and they're arming themselves against the hoards, hoards which are usually off-white, that are coming. If the area is that bad then I don't think I'd be saving up for a gun but more likely for a U-haul.


They vote for politicians who are totally in the tank for Wall Street banks in order to teach Wall Street banks a lesson.
