Sorry if I’m butting in. I enjoy a similarly named thread, mostly about stupid Republican ideas with left-wingers competing to post the wittiest reply. This thread seems in many ways similar, though the sets of “stupid” Republicans and “witty” leftists differ.
While Republican heroes like Gingrich, Rove and Beck expouse stupid ideas deliberately (selling books or campaigns) and would be happy to be leftist slime-ball liars if it paid better, some Republicans remind one of Sixth Sense wherein the Bruce Willis character … didn’t know his idea was stupid.

Curlcoat: Which does zero for the state of California.
Actually, if you thought about it for a millisecond, they’d be paying a lot of local taxes, wouldn’t they? Or did you think they go out of state to buy their groceries and gas?
Then again, if you thought about it for a minute, you wouldn’t be you. California’s problems are a lot more complex than “more people than the state can support”…
Give it up guys. You’re dealing with the Curlinator. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until this thread is dead.
Since I hadn’t heard of the phrase you mentioned, I did as you asked and read thefirst link that came up.
Doesn’t sound so like that bad of an endorsement. While we have this from the person who coined the phrase
and in 1980
It’s amazing how the simple research you recommend can show the exact opposite of the point you are trying to make. Maybe you should try it yourself first before posting. It could save everyone some time and you might learn something (although probably not).
Wait so when I wish it happens to YOU it’s evil, but when you wish it happened to so-called “Anchor babies” (Who are American whether you like it or not) it’s not, is that what you’re saying?
She has said in another thread that she stopped working because it wasn’t worth it to work because of taxation, which is probably why she doesn’t want to answer your question. Once people pointed out that that was literally impossible for it to not impact the finances of a couple if one partner stopped working, she weasled out of it by claiming she didn’t pay attention to their finances, but she didn’t feel a drop off in the quality of life.
Well, presuming she’s on SSDI, she earned it as much as anyone did. The problem isn’t that she thinks she earned hers, it’s that she thinks no one else earned theirs. She’s a dumbass with delusions of adequacy.
There’s just so much to marvel at in your decision to openly express your anger and dismay that your remark went unrecognized, I can’t decide whether to be repelled or awestruck.
Apparently you guys don’t have much to do during the day. Kind of interesting how many think they are qualified to argue something they know little about, going on in a place they don’t live.
Yes, the state’s problems are very complex, but a good deal of them boil down to liberals creating all kinds of handouts and now we don’t have enough people left who can pay the kind of taxes to support those programs. If you thought about it for a millisecond, you’d realize that a goodly number of our illegals don’t have much in the way of money, so even when they do buy groceries and gas they don’t buy as much as someone with a middle class life, and so don’t pay that much in sales tax. They aren’t buying things like new cars, appliances or houses. Many if not most (studies vary widely, I imagine due to how hard it is to pin down illegals) pay no income tax, payroll taxes nor towards any health or auto insurance.
If nothing else, logic dictates that someone whose job is to stand in front of Lowes and hope to get work isn’t paying much in the way of taxes.
You would learn more about the subject if you researched why the nickname caught on and stuck with the population, rather than just looking at the narrow time frame of when and how it came to be.
Yes, he was left a strong economy.
I have a different opinion than you do; they are breaking federal law and most likely going to run my state into bankruptcy. See the difference? Also, I am not wishing evil on anyone, all I said was I wish the law allowing anchor babies to exist was changed, whereas you actively wished me disaster simply because I don’t think that illegally staggering across the Rio Grande nine months pregnant should mean that your kid gets all the same rights as those born to legal residents.
I don’t remember now what you wanted to be right about, but at this point in time I am not technically earning money myself as I am on permanent disability. Which I pay taxes on. Also, not being cagy at all - you’ve made a bunch of incorrect assumptions based on god knows what, and I told you that you were wrong. Typing is difficult for me right now, so I wasn’t interested in playing a guessing game with you.
I’d be interested in knowing where you think you saw that.
So, what have the illegals earned? Why is it that you think it’s OK for them to walk over the border with absolutely nothing to offer but we should pay for their food, health care, any car accidents they get in?
