    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    Negative! The version I "preach" is the United States of America for the last 250 years. That's why you find me and other conservatives quoting the founding fathers. Liberals/Progressives don't quote them. You'll hardly see them pull something from Abraham Lincoln or John Kennedy. Oh wait, I do...

    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    Sounds like family to me :D The Federal Government. Precisely--that is what state and local government provide. And, sad to say, increasingly this is not provided by state government. As in the case of NY. The tail wags the dog up there. Everyone in the state is taxed to death for the good of...

    Wood chips to chip mulch

    The guy I take mine to has 2 piles 12' high. Each one probably would cover 1/4-1/2 of a football field. No idea how long they go untouched. He regrinds them and has dye (dark brown, red, & and maybe another color or 2) pumped in during that process.

    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    I can promise you one thing. If the liberals succeed in putting the financial burden of college and university tuition on the American taxpayer; there will absolutely be this result: Universities and Colleges will emerge that will not accept and/or qualify for that taxpayer funding. Those...

    Easy Hoss. It appears that this "overcrowding" is stressing you out. Sadly, this is a theme I see all too often nowadays. These schools don't teach history anymore--they teach social studies. When they do teach American History, they teach the history of every other country right alongside it...

    Grassroots for Bernie Sanders 2016

    Bernie Sanders: "The answer to every problem--government." (paraphrase) Thomas Jefferson: "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have." Benjamin Franklin: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little...

    The Washington, D.C. region is the nation’s Boomtown, and it is not even close. According to new Census figures released on Thursday, the Washington, D.C. area has the highest median household income at around $90,000. The San Francisco region is next at around $80,000. The Boston area is third...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    You call it a straw man, I call it a slippery slope. In fact, it is not a straw man at all. I'm not arguing against something you didn't argue for (that would be a straw man). Rather, I'm predicting where this proverbial train is headed. Redistribution is socialism (or farther along that...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    What conclusions? That we need to start inventing our own "micro-currencies"? Bitcoin? Should we go around tearing up 20euro bills? I'd say his argument is good for going back to the gold standard. But that isn't a new argument. I'd say that's probably why he didn't make it; because he...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    This guy has drawn several erroneous conclusions. For example: he mentioned that we are unavoidably in debt. Well, we don't have to be: (CNN) - President Obama declared on Wednesday that Democrats can be trusted on the budget because, "the last time the budget was balanced was under a...

    Wood chips to chip mulch

    Yea, the guy I now take mine to told me that one of the keys is to keep them spread out. He doesn't let his mounds get over 12' high. Which means he has to spread them out over many more hundreds of square yards. So, it takes up a lot of room.

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    I believe it is appropriate that race has been brought up in the thread 'What is Fair Wealth Distribution'. Below is an article that argues that this sort of redistribution is what will guarantee to keep our jails full of (if not increase the number of) young black men...

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    That guy can avoid getting stabbed with a pitchfork anytime he wants--all he has to do is give them all his money. And that goes for any other "super rich", bleeding-heart liberal. Want to know how much Al Gore gave to charity last year? How about Hillary Clinton?

    What is 'fair' wealth distribution?

    Yea, well, that's not an accurate "snapshot." You see, no matter how much you try to keep religion out of government--you can't. In fact, our government has always embraced Judeo-Christian values. They have been interwoven into every aspect of our political & economic system. They are currently...
