Difference between Right and Left
 

Right wants everyone to pay a little for services.Left wants everyone but them to pay for services. That's the long and short of it.

:bigbow:

I really take offense at your statement. I lean left as do many of my friends and we all want to do our fair share.

Another nonsensical thread ..... probably a cut-and-paste job from wingnutsareus.com

sounds good, sunglow. can you explain what you and your friends feel is your 'fair' share?

the words 'fair share' are tossed about so nonchantly; and i have never seen anyone define what that amount would be. i can't even figure out what MY fair share might be! so if you can tell me what you think yours is, it would give me a start to better identify what my fair share would be.

thanx

Here's a fact.I had fund raiser for someone in need.Know how much my friends on the left gave? Zip, See this time and time again over the years.And the funny thing most of them have money one was a vp for a major airline but donate their
own very rare. I know some will be upset but I think surveys show the left gives far less.Example is Our Pres.and VP

Sentence makes no sense to me. Most left leaning people pay just as much taxes as the right leaners; unless, that is, either can afford an army of tax lawyers. Then they probably pay 13.7 percent or less in annual taxes.

I wonder how much in taxes these billionaires who are grossly affecting our political campaigns with their negative ads through PACs (on both sides) pay in taxes?

:bowdown: I think what you are getting at is that TOO MANY on the left pay nothing and we need to reduce the "give away" government programs so they will go out and get a job. There is no incentive to get a job if I can draw $400.00 a week for sitting on my butt for two years. Any reasonable person can see that doesn't make sense. If I can draw more government money by having more children than I can afford---that makes no sense. Need I say more? Well, there is a lot more but no time for it here! :cus:

Let me add to that.

The right believes in rugged individualism, self reliance, personal responsibility, smaller less intrusive government, life, the free market and the Constitution as written.

The left believes in cradle to grave statism, higher taxes, more regulation, abortion and ever expanding centralized government command and control.

That's the choice in Nov.

Not a whole lot of jobs out there to get at the moment. What are Mitt Romney's plans with respect to welfare? I had heard that he plans to require welfare recipients to work for their checks? How can they do that though if there are no jobs available?

Totally inaccurate!...Vote for Obama! :icon_wink:

Survey says!!...total bunk! :icon_wink:

Well, just offhand, I’ve got one big difference.

It's apparently acceptable for the left to lie about the right.

Whether you’re talking about The NY Times , the Washington Post or, say, The Daily Kos, it’s considered acceptable to lie about the right.

As Charles Krauthammer famously said: “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”

Since the left thinks the right evil they tend to think it okay to use tactics that can be described as “evil” to fight them. If you’re up against people you compare to Nazis, it’s simple to tell yourself that lying to beat them isn’t too bad.

Since the right thinks they’re up against people that are too stupid to know what’s really going on, they feel compelled to try to explain themselves a little bit better.

So... what does the left believe?

No once can say Obama believes is any of these. He's said so himself. He sure never talks about any of them.

Both sides have PAC ads which seem very inaccurate with respect to facts. It is like we are not determining who is going to run the US but rather which pizza to buy.
