What's the best way to turn a Democrat into a Republican?

[Karen Kraft]

Have them own some residential income property.

They tried that, but could keep up with the payments, so now they're Independents.

 

[aqwertyuiop]

Make them pay taxes, instead of stealing money from me.

Excellent!

I've got 3 - two by my wife and me, one adopted; and a fourth baby by "pending" adoption. Plus a home, a business, and a few lease-to-own properties, too.

I vote Democratic because they benefit the working class and a strong prosperous working class benefits my community and my business.

Lower taxes would never benefit me as much as the lower classes having a ton of assets to protect from loss.

You're an insurance agent?

That didn't work out so well for Charlie Rangel.....

Ayup. Husband and wife team. I got my license while working for a community bank and my wife had a lot of home staging clients that she decided she could pump for insurance policies and referrals. Got her license and hopped right to it; just in time, too, because her freakishly booming staging business went bust during the subprime crash. Most of our success is due to her, she's the one who go gets most of the policies.

Who exactly is the "working class"? How do they benefit them?

There is some truth to that.

.... so... you're like the Cat Lady but with kids, right?

Charlie was a very bad boy. He got spanked by the Congress. Big fucking deal. Despite all of his indiscretions and his crappy politics, I love Charlie Rangle. You don't get entertainment like that very often. He's funny, witty, and less annoying than Barney. He's also older than the moon, so I think everybody should cut the guy some slack. Sure -- he's a fuck-up when it comes to taxes, graft, corruption, but hey -- he's from a different generation... back when all that was the old normal.

Unless they win over $4 Billion. Then they write letters to Obama telling him to raise their taxes. It's a nouveau riche fetish. Old money knows better.

It would be interesting to know how professional athletes vote.

Everybody pays taxes, don't give me no shit about the Medals or Glory, he still drops his pants to take a crap, just like everybody else, my neighbor has the same stuff and he always pays his taxes, this ass was on the Ways and Means Committee, he should have known better.

They don't.

Do you really think they give a flying fuck, seriously, after all, they do make a few bucks more than the average joe.

No no no. You misunderstand. I am not apologizing for the guy. I just think he presents really funny.

Like Boy George or Kathryn Kuhlman or Louis Farrakhan. Forget the content and behavior -- I'm just saying that they put on a very funny show. That's all.

Adding: ... and soon enough Charlie will forget to drop his pants when he takes a crap....

Just sayin' ...

Licensed to sell health insurance?

Yeah but I avoid selling that crap. I hate health insurance companies, especially the part where they rescind coverage as soon as you get sick.

Private health insurance is a fucking scam.

So what's your opinion of the new health care law?

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

So what's your opinion of the new health care law?

Grade: B-

Pluses:
Now with the new law you can't get your policy rescinded for no reason.
You can stay insured with your parents until age 26.
The donut hole got closed for seniors.

Minuses:
The mandatory clause and the tax on high value health care plans (IIRC).

It could have been better; in fact, I kinda wish all of America could get the same health care plan that the politicians get... but you know the Republicans would be opposed to that.

If you give it a B-, why aren't you selling health insurance?
