Is constantly thinking about how to steal from others a mental disorder?

    Look at all those posts by liberals and lefties. None of them are about how to create wealth,but almost all of them about how to take forcefully or covertly from others. When was the last time any leftie said anything about learning how to use an ERP software? If such posts are occasional then it is perfectly understandable. But half a page all centered around that? Somebody must have gone cuckoo in their little noggins!

    You can fantasize about Miranda Kerr from time to time, it's alright, we all do that. But thinking about how to rip her hoo-hoo up all day, and post rather lengthy and detailed plan about how to and how much you want to, and how much it is justified as well as justifiable to break into Orlando Bloom's house, and take Kerr away? I'd say you are clinically and certified insane! (Or you could be Justin Bieber)

    But maybe someone just can't get enough of a kick from it — after all, these are the same people that tend to have dopamine fk ups and tend to be drugheads.

    the only wealth the right wants to create is for the rich at the expense of the working class

    not sure what the rest of your post was all about, late night?

    Ooooh sloganism. Yea, what a cogent, solid and convincing argument.

    Proletariat of the world, Unite!

    See? I can do that too. Doesn't take the minimal neuron activity, doesn't take college or even high school education.

    The redistribution of wealth is an important political issue, why are you surprised it comes up frequently on a political forum?

    Learning ERP software is not what these forums are for, why are you surprised it doesn't come up?

    And...taxing and redistributing that money isn't stealing.

    Unless the OP is a Native American he's living on stolen land. Everybody wants to take from everybody to pay for what they want in society. It's not a conservative or liberal thing, it's a people thing. This great country was built on theft, extortion, greed, and even cold-blooded murder.

    no, no it isn't. allowing and encouraging the people to create wealth is an important political issue. energizing a nation to create wealth is an important political issue. reshuffling the deck to redistribute existing wealth is just the masturbatory response of a political elite concerned only with expanding an inefficient and redundant bureaucracy. it caters only to the sour grapes mentality of the lowest common denominator and enriches only the middle-men, the denizens of the state who dole out the funds stolen from the productive.

    Taxes do not equal stealing. There is more to liberals than taxes. That is the straw man.

    That was only when socialism was in its "infancy"; now, we know we merely need to Use Capitalism.

    No, that's the result of government jobs. Without any competition, they can give raises and pensions at will, since they can just steal money from people to pay for it.

    Once again, you are confused. It is the socialists who psychologically induce the populace through the education and media system.


    No, the wealthy prefer the Democrats because it's guaranteed government contracts for the few with no competition where they are wasteful and inefficient, because they can just steal money from taxpayers to cover the cost. Other businesses have to actually compete in the marketplace.

    Taxes are theft. Taxes are needed to maintain a government. If you don't want a government you are an anarchist. Anyone who is not an anarchist per definition have to support "taking from others", i.e. taxation.

    And then anarchy leads to militant rule just like in Somalia. If people want their own freedom then everybody needs their own planet. Otherwise we all have to give and take with others.

    Recently Paul Ryan has had a lot to say about what he believes to be the true underpinnings of poverty. It's a product of a culture of laziness and complacency, he argues, fostered and supported by government anti-poverty programs, many of which were created through the War on Poverty. There's only one problem with those assertions -- the data says otherwise.

    Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, housing programs, job training and more were all programs created and/or expanded through the War on Poverty and are some of the most powerful tools we have today to fight poverty. It's estimated that without government programs, the national poverty rate wouldn't be near today's 15 percent, or even 19 percent as it was in the 1960s, but a staggering 31 percent -- almost a third of our population.

    How does the right explain Capitalism's laziness regarding full employment of resources as evidenced, by Its slacker, Natural Rate of Unemployment?

    I would say that it's more of a moral disorder when people in business design products and policies designed to maximize their own interests yet promote themselves as if they care about you.
    They spend a tremendous amount of time and money perfecting ways to steal your money more effectively. They're crazy like a fox and blind to their immorality.
    They will just claim to be looking out for number 1.

    Obama just magnifies lazy drones by increasing their number. Hell somewhere near 50% of the country is on some sort of welfare. All it has done is make people more lazy and think they are entitled to take what they want without working for it.

    Any healthy young person on welfare should be required to do public service work at least two days a week. How about having all the people in Detroit on welfare tear down and clean up all the abandon houses and buildings?

    You realize that once a law declares an act legal, it isn't stealing property or money in any sense of the word. Government is the entity that writes the definitions into statutes that determine to elements of a crime like theft and what constitutes a proper taxing authority.

    I choose not to call it stealing because it's wrong to do so.

    Good, so then the Holocaust wasn't murder because some guys got together and wrote down on a piece of paper that it was okay. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

    You can try to rationalize and justify the theft as some do but to deny that it is stealing is to ignore the obvious and to wallow in petty semantics and appeals to authority.

    The difference between Democrats and Republicans is not whether or not they think people should pay taxes to support common goods. The issue is what each side considers a legitimate and vital common good. The only political group that wants less "theft" all around are Libertarians because we think everything should be reduced.

    Liberals are of course by far the worst offender since they are the only ones advocating literally taking money from one person and redistributing it to another person solely on the basis of greed, envy and jealousy.

    Private property is theft. Libertarians are just so deluded, it's scary. "Taxes are when groups of people tell you that theft is okay, but private property is some magical institution handed down by God and hard work." Well, actually, both rely upon government justification and force, according to an arbitrary scheme invented by people.

    You should do more reading bro. The distinction between private and personal property has existed for centuries, at least for those who bother to educate themselves.
