It Makes No Sense

It is hard sometimes (okay, MOST of the time), to understand the mind of a liberal. Take, for example, how much the left wants to go after the rich, punish success, and rail against big corporations for gouging people, exploiting people for greed, and sing to the High Heavens that they need to pay their fair share. They do actually pay their fair share. Something for another day and that I will be happy to expand on in comments. But what has the Biden administration been bragging about almost non-stop recently? How well the stock market is doing. I mean, if you are going to scold the companies for being greedy and taking everyone's money, why in the next breath try to take credit for the very people they seem to hate getting even more richer—through THEIR own policies? It makes no sense.

He wants to talk about the stock market so he doesn’t have to address the rising cost of gasoline.

The feeling is mutual. We can't understand how you can look at life-long chronic losers, failures rapists, and dog killers and say, "they are smart people who really care."

I wish I knew what you were talking about, but of course, as per the usual finding sense in your comments would take an army of hieroglyphics decoders to first learn your language and then find sense in the words.

@porwest You should watch Tina Peter's sentencing. The Judge told her all the same things I'm always telling you. That's why everyone is laughing at her and she's going to prison for nine years. Maybe you'll understand it for once.

@xander6464 If she got nine years, how long will her puppet master get?

Most politicians especially Presidents need to tout anything which makes them look like they are accomplishing something good for America. What Biden doesn't seem to understand is that the regular guy (which he is always claiming to be in his speeches), and those just above poverty level probably don't earn enough or cannot afford to invest in the stock market. And company earnings drive stock market prices not administrative policies from the President. As far as attacking big business, he must be listening too much to socialists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who almost always cry corporate exploitation of the masses. Heck, even if a kid opened a lemonade stand and made a profit off of it they would cry foul! Corporations make the jobs and fuel the economy. And well-run and successful corporations are in business to make money! Over tax them, regulate their profits, and they will just pass on the cost to the consumer, meaning us who can least afford the price increases. Increase the Federal or state minimum wage to an absurd level and companies will either reduce staff or automate to reduce overhead. A business is supposed to do that! The government could take a cue on how to reduce costs. Most Liberals have never owned a business or know how to make a profit. They haven't a clue about economics. If they did, they would not be spending money like a drunken sailor. Ask yourself this, what party was the last to turn in a balanced budget (hint: 1998- a Republican held Congress and Senate). Since then both parties just kick the budget down the road with no fiscal responsibility. And they attack profitable businesses.

@porwest Perfectly stated! Agree with everything you said... "The Democrats have never had the little guy's interests in mind. Only their vote." Excellent point, like bringing in all those illegal migrants in order to gain another minority voting bloc. Trump and DODGE have exposed all the corruption of the Democrats and their sponsored wasteful programs. I just hope Americans are paying attention and not getting blindsided by the continual lies and misinformation of the legacy media about the Trump Administration policies.

@porwest Yes, the truth hurts! For TDS'ers better to live in a fantasy than to face up to the real facts.

@dgobucks226 As Jack Nicholson once famously said in a line in a movie, "You can't handle the truth." I think he was speaking volumes to more people about more things than the context of the line was referencing in the movie. People want badly to believe what they believe. They can't handle the truthful revelation when it is revealed to them, and I think for some, it would actually break them.

The liberals on this site of course won't comment. Because they can't respond to it. Because what I said is actually true. They don't have a position, really. They never do. I swear I responded to you on this post, by the way. Maybe I am losing my mind? lol
