Get rid of all the welfare and free handouts and all that shit.

The main problem is the strong entitlement attitude the average American has. We need to end that shit.
Its the catalyst for all the other problems. People need to learn that in order for an economy to work, somebody has to go to a fucking job and actually make something of value. You cant keep "redistributing" the wealth. Human beings are consumers. You need to make something before it can be consumed. And you need to keep making new things to expand the economy.

About 18 months, I started a thread asking the same question. I was surprised by the number of people who thought the government should let the economy go into a 1930's type Great Depression.

The people who would let this happen think that they would be immune to the overall effects of such a depression...i.e. they are somehow special and above the general effects of such economic fallout.

As a liberal what we need to do is tax people 100%. Set up gay camps that all teaparty and religious people are forced to go to (after we take their guns) and have teh gay sex.

At this point the economy will be destroyed (as a liberal this is what we want). We will take out massive loans from china and spend it ALL on WELFARE for POOR people. At this point we will then give the country to china and russia to split evenly. Oh and all white people will be moved to reservations.
