Indeed – if EVER we needed the old Pit rules back, this would be it.
CURLCOAT actually is kicking a lot more of her hard earned, special and personal money to the rich and corporations and banks than any confiscation ,which may or may not happen, to keep the poor from dying in the streets. It is easy to bitch about the poor stealing her money. it takes more time and study to see how the rich are gobbling up the wealth of America.
And an open mind, so i would not worry about that .
Well, you’re a better person than I am then. I see zero compassion coming from curlcoat, and I feel no urge to give any back. I think that some people are just inherently shitheads, and no amount of armchair psychoanalysis either explains or redeems them. Of course, you are entitled to differing mileage, if you wish to bother.
She is indeed impenetrable (No, that’s not what I meant; --well, I suppose you could ask her husband.), and apparently as dense as the core of the sun. But we don’t really know whether or not she votes. She may in fact even be a fixture at Teabagger Parties all over the country! Maybe she only posts her venom here between stints at Glen Beck’s Hysteria Headquarters. Perhaps she is an Exalted Confidante of His Holiness, the Rush. She may not be quite as inconsequential an insect as you guess. And, try as I do, ignoring her is like ignoring lice; eventually they both seem to get under my skin. Must be a kinship thing…….
She has said openly that she doesn’t, and if we’re taking her at face value on her other claims, we should probably accept that one as well. I also do not think she is a Republican/Glenn Beck supporter. She has some liberal views (pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro animal rights). She’s a mishmash of ideas that don’t clearly adhere to one ideological classification. Yes, I’ve been following her work, more fool me.
Just a word to the wise: any thread in which she participates actively winds up being 40+ pages because she responds to every. single. post. Even when she falls days and pages behind, she is relentless, and she won’t stop first. So it’s futile, since she won’t change and you won’t wear her down. Why bother?
At least we keep her busy, she’s not out tracking down Sarah Connor.
I wasn’t contradicting you. And I wasn’t bothering to debate her.
I was making fun of her.
Something about the internet just sucks the life out of humor. 'luc, you know what I mean, don’t you?
’luc?
Oh great, another thread hijacked into being all about Sarah Connor.
Or maybe you’re just not funny. 
Elucidator, OTOH, is. Maybe he could succeed where the rest of us fail. Or maybe he’s tilted at enough windmills for today. In any case, when curlcoat comes roaring back in here with replies for all of us and lots of snorts and :rolleyes:s, we should all be studiously busy doing something else.
Whats that old bumper sticker? “Jesus Is Coming, Look Busy”?
You have to admit that any version of Sarah Connor is hotter and less obscenely reprehensible than Curlcoat, even after she (Sarah) went all psycho-paranoid in the second movie.
Whaddaya talking? She had a rock-solid grasp on reality, it was everybody else who didn’t! I can relate…
Riiiiight…because those who have insurance just love taking time to go to the doctor’s office for little boo-boos and shelling out the co-payments. Visiting the doc is such fun, after all.
Please.
It is? You know this how? You have some inside information on what plan they will pass, and what the ongoing cost to the taxpayer is going to be? You have facts as to what our net income and total out go are?
Typical. You see nothing wrong with the taxpayer paying out to fund yet another handout program, and if those of us who have actually earned what we have might find it hard to afford to pay those taxes, we should take a cut in our quality of living. That’s what these things always boil down to - it isn’t “fair” that some people have more than others. Not only is this an immature way to look at life, it continues to amaze me that you and all the others that feel this way totally ignore the affect this sort of thing has on societies. Even when it is pointed out to you.
Snort. “My bad choices”. Apparently, that would be the fact that I chose to not have children when I was impoverished and starving, that I chose to work my way up out of that instead of just taking from the taxpayers, that I chose to save and create IRAs and pensions for my future - all so you could take from me to give to people who don’t do any of those things. Huh. If I’d known that way back when, I could have just sat on my butt and demanded that you all pay to support me!
Not that I would have, but I do wonder how many marginally responsible people end up thinking that way, when they see the fruits of labor mean you just end up paying more taxes that go in the most part to support people who have not been responsible and worked hard.
Your husband makes a six figure salary. UHC is not going to put you out of your house. You’re crazy if you are seriously claiming this. This sort of bullshit is why no one takes you seriously.
You have health insurance. Get your sinuses looked at already.
If you feel you can’t afford to live in extra-expensive Orange County, move to a place where your husband’s six figure salary IS a lot of money… like pretty much fucking ANYHWERE (including Orange County, despite your protestations to the contrary). You choose to live in a place that’s pricey. Don’t whine to us about it.
Lest anyone lose sight of the supreme and persistent irony of these statements, I shall remind everyone yet again that you, by your own admission, are currently enjoying the milky goodness of a “taxpayer-funded handout program” even as you cast your sneering aspersions upon others who’d do the same—you turbid, dessicated cunt.
Despite what others wish you to believe, husband and I do not qualify as uber-rich, or even rich. We live on a budget, we have never been on vacation other than the occasional weekend to Vegas (I personally have never been to Hawaii for example). We barely qualify as middle class here in that we don’t live in a McMansion and our cars are both over 6 years old and have well over 100,000 each on them. The middle class is already paying for more than our fair share, which you should know.
:rolleyes: Yeah, right, you budget for every new tax bite that the liberals might demand over the 40-50 year period that you will be working. Uh huh…
Exactly. ME, ME, ME is what driving this demand for yet another handout, to be paid for by those of us who did work and did plan. Yes, our pre-tax income looks like a lot and yes it is completely ridiculous that we cannot live comfortably on that. But since California is way ahead of the rest of the country WRT taxing us to support hordes of poor people, that income is well chopped before we actually see it. (and before you tell us to move, remember that our income would drop radically if we moved to some place with a lower cost of living).
I’d love to be able to.
That one has been discussed to death in other threads and no, I don’t think it will. Logic dictates if you add hundreds of thousands of people to my insurance policy who cannot pay as much as I can, my premium must go up to cover them. Not to mention all of the cost to get such a government program up and running. Also, comparing different countries doesn’t work well - for example, Australia has far fewer people than the US, and you have had your UHC since (most likely) before you were born, so you have never had to pay for start up costs.
I think the best way to handle a post by curlcoat is to remind yourself that what you just read was written by a woman who was so stupid, she didn’t know where black people came from.
After that, you’ll recognize pretty quickly that there’s absolutely no point in paying any attention to her.
Holy shit, you retarded sack of pubic lice, you chastise people for “not planning” for every possible unforeseen calamity that might befall them WRT having kids, getting ill, etc., and this is your comeback when called on it? You really are a dense lump of fucking shit. “When I can’t plan, it’s because of the evil liberals who are trying to play Robin Hood with my hard-earned money!”. Except, in your case, the “hard-earned” doesn’t really apply.
I linked to the most liberal, most costly version floating through Congress right now. See post #93.
The worst “soak the rich” provisions that are being considered would only affect people making in excess of $350,000 a year. Income between 350,000 and 500,000 is taxed an additional 1 percent. An extra 1.5 percent on income between 500,000 and a million. You claimed your household has a six figure salary. It seems highly implausible to me that this tax, assuming you are even subject to it, could have any appreciable negative effect on your finances.
If you have any cites to refute this, I’ll be happy to look at them. If you want to continue this conversation, I’m going to have to see cites. Not just you bitching and moaning. Actual cites that will demonstrate that healthcare reform will put any burden on you whatsoever. If you can’t do that, further conversation will serve no useful purpose.
That should be curlcoat’s truth-in-advertising username.
