Say what you want about who you want, but just remember when it comes time to vote....which party is almost always against veteran benefits, wants to cut social security and medicare, is against raising the minimum wage, is against equality of pay for women, and almost always includes a tax break for the wealthy....think about it!Originally Posted by Schnapps
Regarding cutting benefits to Veterans ...

Veteran Benefits. Another government oxymoron.
I'd gladly give back my benefits if they'd secure the borders and not raise the minimum wage. Illegal immigration is illegal and minimum wage is not a living wage.
Roger that on the minimum wage. Voting to raise it might make someone feel good but ... http://www.balancedpolitics.org/minimum_wage.htm
Unless you've successfully run a small business, you do not have enough practical information to understand the problem. Politicians (some/most) are whores for votes.
George McGovern had some interesting things to say once he got out of politics and tried to run his own business http://www.investorvillage.com/smbd....g&mid=12221450
Near where I live (Seattle) the minimum wage was raised to $15 http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/02/news...age/index.html
Imagine that you've just purchased a McDonalds franchise with profit margins running 6-8% after all is said and done. You now either have to sell a boatload more burgers and/or raise your prices so high that reasonable people will drive 3 miles down the road to a cheaper burger.

WOW!!! This is the problem with voting folks in with no experience, whether it is in business, military or life experiences...we suffer with their decisions!!! Glad ole George finally saw the light !!!

I give up! I say we agree to disagree and get on with life, you vote your way and I'll vote mine...the rich will continue to get richer and the poor will continue to get poorer and hopefully we can continue to ride until we're too old to throw a leg over our favorite ride!
I will agree as long as everyone else agrees that until you sign the front of the check you don't have a clue....
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire, and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame.. and complain.............

There's a non-profit group in Seattle who is a strong proponent of $20/hr national minimum wage. Funny thing, they needed a web developer and posted a help wanted ad... offering the position for $13/hr. True story. If $20/hr is such a good thing, why would they do this? Because they don't have the money to pay it... and the same is true for the small businesses out there, non-profit or otherwise. Liberal brilliance.
Another true story. A Senator from Missouri wanted to make a point in the Ferguson protests, so she did so by protesting in the middle of the street and got herself arrested. Upon being booked, they found a loaded 9mm pistol and extra ammo on her person. The funny thing here is this Senator is a staunch gun control proponent. If gun control is such an important issue, why are you carrying? Liberal brilliance squared.
I've been a Chiropractic Physician for 36 years. I am an employer of 2 doctors, myself & staff of 7. The Obammanation has driven so many dr.'s from many professions out of practice never to return. e.g. My cost of doing business exceeds what medicare pays & docs from other professions are in the same insane loose/loose boat. e. g. Medicare pays $26 for an office visit & we are mandated under law to accept that & can charge no more....BUT it costs me $36 in overhead cost before I even make a dime. That's means paying out $10 every time we see a medicare patient.
Now business is very simple..you make a living after overhead expenses or you do not...watch what happens to ins premiums & deductibles this next 2 years. I'm going into early retirement because in the good old USA the feds & state steals 46% of what I make. King O' has no clue when it comes to running a business & 9 people are depending on you...& those 9 jobs will be lost when I retire.
The website debacle..it wasn't supposed to work. The purpose of O'care is to make insurances companies fail leaving only one who can save us....good old bankruptt /corrupt / who needs congress? fed gov...it will be just like the "top shelf care" the veterans are getting that's been on the news lately.
Stealing from hard working people & giving it to just as many people who won't work. Oh yea, & that pesky gov debt thing...ahh just print more money~!
