12. These are possibly the 5 most ridiculous and brainless sentences you'll ever read
These are possibly the 5 best brainless Republican fortune cookie like sentences you'll ever read:LOL


1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

Answer: You cannot have a bought and paid for legislature who does the bidding of the wealthy and the corporations, who distribute the wealth to the top with policy lobbied for by the wealthy that continues to take from the poor while giving tax breaks to the rich and powerful. The poor cannot prosper when jobs are shipped out of the country because the rich corporate owners don't want to pay fair wages and benefits, the poor cannot prosper when the corporations move their headquarters outside of the USA and do not pay their fair share of taxes, the poor cannot prosper when they pay into Social Security all of their life, but the corporate government wants to steal this "earned" benefit from them, the poor cannot prosper when the average Republican uses bumper sticker sentences, and is too dumb to understand what they just copied to send to their brother as some kind of reality based fact.

Don't piss on our leg and tell us it's raining. Do some research, read and learn before you send out writings that make you look stupid to anyone who uses critical thinking skills when you obviously cannot. These "sentences" are part of the dumbing down of America and it looks like another one took the bait.


2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

Answer: Please give examples of how and when this could occur. When was the last time you received nothing for the work you did because another received without working? What a crock of shit!

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. First off, have you ever read the constitution?

Answer: So, should the government not tax everyone fairly in order to take in revenues to provide safe roads and bridges, safe food and water, safe health care and medications, institute and have the money to enforce policy that regulates the banks and wall street so they cannot repeat their crimes of the past? The problem is not that the government takes in taxes to provide for a safe nation, (including an over budgeted military machine) the problem is that the government is rigged and you refuse to see it. The government is no longer of the people, but of the rich, powerful and of the corporations, these are the one's who have stolen the nations wealth with the help from those they have purchased within "our," their government. Their bought and paid for Republicans (and Democrats as well), have unfairly burdened the majority to give unneeded tax cut bonuses to the few at the top, the ones they refer to as the "job creators," well, where are all of the jobs then? Why are we talking about cutting deficits that Republican policy created, but not talking about the economy and jobs as the most important issue of the day? Because the corporate government has decided that this is the issue that can finally get them Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. If everyone paid their fair share, there would be less burden on the majority and less profit for those at the top, but that's not the way the corporate masters want it and their bought and paid for government sides with where the money is and not with the will of the people, the majority. If government didn't provide tax loopholes for the wealthy to not pay their fair share in taxes, then the deficit would be lower, if the corporations didn't do their main business overseas to avoid paying taxes here, then again, the deficit would be lower, if the corporations and the wealthy didn't get tax cuts (free money) that is then added on to the deficit for all of us to pay, then the deficit would be lower, if the Republicans paid for their wars, then the deficit would be lower, if the Republicans paid for their prescription drug act, the deficit would be lower....... and there would be more for everyone and not just those at the top. Sorry to say, but this one sounds like you got it out of a fortune cookie.

If the government did its job for the people, instead of the corporations and the wealthy, then the government would be doing what the constitution instructs them to do. When a government of, for and by the people perishes from the earth and a corporate government takes hold, we no longer live in a democracy.


4.. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

You also cannot steal from the majority to give to the already wealthy at the top and not continue to divide an angry and already divided nation. You also cannot start wars and not pay for them and just add that on to the deficit or pass drug programs without paying for them, added on to the deficit and give continued tax breaks to those at the top, added on to the deficit without the deficit increasing and this is exactly what the Republicans and their corporate masters have been doing. Confucius say, you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it lol. Please get some new material sir.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The beginning of the end of any nation comes when those at the top steal everything from the majority with help from their bought and paid for government. When the government no longer works for the people, but works for the corporations who have bought their votes and makes policy that only helps those at the top while taking from and putting in place austerity measures for the majority at the bottom, then that my friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of a reason for not sharing this?

Neither could I......Answer: Those who cannot think clearly, or think for themselves, cannot think of reason.

The only ones who could not think of a reason for sharing these fortune cookie like comments, are those who do not, or cannot think for themselves. These types use talking points and FOX/GOP propaganda to do their thinking for them and some even combine their interpretation of the Bible when spouting their gibberish. All of the preceding "alleged" comments/questions are nothing less than fortune cookie mum bo jumbo. I do have a real question for you though that you probably cannot find an answer for:

1. Name one good thing the Republicans have done for this nation and its people in the last 30 years? And please provide backup for your answer. I will assume that you have no more words of wisdom for the world if you cannot complete this simple task....... Just one good thing the Republicans have done for this country that has helped or benefited everyone in this nation?

Lou
