Steve Kelley for February 13, 2019

Where to start with this one? Who’s money does Mr. Kelly think that the government uses? It seem that the conserves don’t understand the purpose of taxes.

The repubs would rather see the money poured into the military and a big stupid wall than being spent on things like education and health.

Steve Kelley really should not spout off on subjects of which he clearly has ZERO concept.

Democratic socialism is NOT about using “other people’s money” or expecting “free stuff” any more than you expect law enforcement, emergency first responders or “free” public schools to be provided by “other people’s money.” 

We all contribute and we all benefit. Just like every other aspect of public infrastructure, public health and safety, and public benefit.

As was recently noted on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show:

There is good socialism and bad socialism.

Good socialism:

• Universal comprehensive no-fee health care

• Universal tuition-free public education through college

• Guaranteed secure retirement program

• Job training, job placement

• Proactive social services to PREVENT crime

• Infrastructure

• Law enforcement, firefighting, disaster relief

.

Bad socialism:

• Corporate welfare (socialism for the rich)

• Socialized professional sports (all benefits go to people who are VERY rich)

• Tax exemptions for churches that non-believers have to make up for (socialized religion)

Other people’s money? That would be expropriating the value of OTHER PEOPLE’S LABOR and not paying them a fair or living wage because the “market god” (the Golden Calf now grown up to be the Wall $treet Bull) says you can.

Eff cooperation! Only weak losers try to help each other! Why can’t everyone just pull themselves up by their 4.5 million dollar bootstraps? /s

Is “Kelley” an alias for “Hannity”?

Kelley, exactly who’s money was it that paid for (and is STILL paying for) the invasion of Iraq?

Who’s money is paying for the trade war tariffs?

The Wall? Oh wait, that’s Mexico, right?

.

What a maroon.

The Republiclan machine only gives money out to those who earn $250,000/yr.; it only takes money from the other 90percent.

This is a demonstration of the recent warnings that facial recognition technology is error-prone. In this case, it “thinks” a donkey is an elephant.

HAHAHAHAHA! Great cartoon, Steve!

Two year $2,000,000,000,000 Trump administration federal debt to be paid off with “other people’s money”. Draw that Mr. Kelly.

Kelley, the republican troll, stikes out again!

Republicans gave billionaires 1.5 trillion of your tax dollars.

I suppose the $700 billion war budget doesn’t count, eh?

When you pay taxes, it is not your money anymore. It is the government’s and your representatives decide how the money will be spent. There is no total agreement on how the taxes should be spent. If you have a problem with the way taxes are dispersed, take it up with your representatives. Why is it the ones that can most afford to pay taxes, are the ones that cry the loudest about paying taxes.

But, but Kelley … Isn’t Mexico going to pay for what you imagine the Democrats will spend?

And who was it, “borrowed” (still not paid back) from Social Security to fund (let’s be polite) “government programs”? Ah yes, the Gee Oh Pee.

It’s all empty…. Drained by the 1% and corporate tax cuts.

One of the Gross Old Pustule’s Big Lies is that they’re the fiscally conservative party.

Seriously??

So it wasn’t trump and his gang of yes men and women who caused another trillion in debt?
