Why is the GOP so scared of gay people?
Anne Bonney:
Whooter, please quit derailing the thread.
Now, can we get back to the topic at hand? Why is the GOP so damn scared of gay people? And Whooter, how do you come to the conclusion that gay people cost more money? Although I concede that I'd pay good money for a great gay to come in and redecorate my house. Ever notice that whenever a certain area of a city/town starts to become populated by gays that the house values begin to rise?

--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---The Democrats are particularly hypocritical when it comes to this. they almost uniformly promote policies that raise the cost of labor in the US - higher taxes, onerous regulations, card check, and the like. Yet they seem to be flummoxed by the fact that jobs are then being outsourced. Since they can't seem to recognize their fault in it, they blame Republicans - without proof.

:rofl: :rofl:
Projection if I ever saw it.
Yes, forget about the eight years Bush II was in office. Forget about what he did with a SURPLUS that we had. Forget about the ridiculous wars he got us into (which, incidentally, the GOP wasn't concerned AT ALL about the national debt then). Forget about the ruins that he left for other people to clean up. And while we're at it....Damn Obama to hell for not fixing it all RIGHT NOW!
Although I am pissed that, yet again, the Dems & Obama have NO BALLS! They should have stood up to this tax bullshit and forced the GOP to either filibuster it or go back to their bankers, oops - I mean backers and explain to the top 2% that they're gonna have to suck it up a little longer. I'm sure that 2% of the highest earners are really hurting right now! ::)

I think if democrats could start supporting their local businesses more and not viewing profits as a dirty word the businesses may start to stick around and put more Americans to work.
I do see your point Anne, but lets move onto the gay issue. Do you think there is any validity in the comment that Gays are costing the taxpayers more money than heterosexuals?

--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---Business Experts Have Explained That Barbara Boxer’s and the Democrat Party’s Job-Killing Policies Are To Blame For Jobs Leaving America:
Job-Killing Policies, Including Higher Corporate Tax Rates And More Regulation, Are To Blame For Companies Outsourcing Labor To Other Countries.
The list of companies who have given up on the United States as a viable place to successfully run their business’ both small, medium and large is mind numbing.
Additional reasons U.S. companies outsource is that our own government pursues policies that drive investment and job creation offshore: excessive taxes, needless regulations, lengthy permit processes, a decreasing supply of U.S. citizens with technical and engineering degrees, and a general governmental misunderstanding of how to support private-sector jobs.
Neither Obama or his current administration have a clue on how to create jobs in the private sector and equally important driving them out of the country.

You can give birth at home in your bathtub instead of going to a hospital, it is much cheaper, but is it wiser? For that matter, is it morally acceptable to profit from the lack of human rights in less developed nations? Many companies have moved to China because the common people there are basically slaves who work for pennies an hour and have no rights. We have taxes and regulation and permit procedures for a reason. Maybe there would be more U.S. citizens with technical and engineering degrees if the government had the money to provide grants for them to people who otherwise could not afford college. But of course the government does not have money to do much of anything because the super rich corporations DO NOT PAY TAXES.

It seems to me that gay people have less children, and therefore claim less deductions on their taxes, they also use the public school system less than heterosexuals. How do you think they cost us money?

I agree, we need to figure out incentives to keep companies in the United States and create jobs, spend money on education etc.
