Ewok, do you understand why the Founders gave us the Electoral College? I'm not criticizing anything you've said , I'm just curious.
Did I say anything about them being less human? No I don't think so. They can move wherever they damn well please. I'm just saying for the ones living there and possibly considering moving cause of living costs have the ability to stay for a little longer until prices rise once again.
Btw to the Creator of this thread... John Kerry is current Secretary of State, not Hillary. Idk what news source you follow haha. And I personaly don't care who wins as long as they are Americans and has the Nations best interest in mind not lining their lobbyist pockets.
Obama never passed basic economics in college apparently.... If you ever create a price floor or a price ceiling in an economy, there is a certain equilibrium that must be maintained in order to prevent having a surplus or shortage of goods. If you set a price floor (or the lowest legal price you can go on a good. In this case, hourly wages.) and it is too high, you create a surplus of labor because there are more people willing to do a job at $10 and hours than there are positions for them to fill. If you set your price floor too low you can create a shortage of labor because there not be enough people to work for say $5 an hour to fill the positions companies have open. Obama is a total moron. All of his decisions seem to lack thought or effort. I feel like he's throwing shit at us that looks good but when you take a minute and explore what we are getting, it's nothing better than we had or it's even worse. On a side note, raising the minimum wage so drastically will also create a problem for people specifically in my wage class. I make 10:50 overseeing and supervising a window manufacturing assembly line. I work late many days and my job is very stressful. Now Obama is gonna make it where the high school dropouts piled up in mcdonalds make the same amount of money I do for so much less work? That's bullshit. Obama can go snort cocaine underwater for all I care. Fuck this president.
Vance to be honest, I don't remember currently off the top of my head. It's been a few years since I've had government.
Vance, thanks for supporting us when we needed it and It's a pleassure serving and I'd do it all over again. Semper Fi.
The purpose of the Electoral College, if my memory serves me correctly, was to balance the voice of the masses with the voice of reason. It was to vote with the people's will, but if necessary, to overrule it. The House of Representatives was to represent the people and the Senate was supposed to represent the governments of the several States. The direct election of representatives and the indirect election of senators (which I support) was what made the United States of America a federal republic instead of a unitary republic.
just dont have any respect what so ever!!! The man isnt perfect and never claimed to be. People will complain no matter what he do. shut the hell up!!! I dont see none of you on the ballot or in any office. You think you can do a better job then show us!!!! Until then blow it out your ass!!!
Ace, saying thank you is the least I can do for an American hero. Whether you agree with the decision to wage a war or not, you should ALWAYS support the soldiers fighting for your nation.
Lat, shut the fuck up. We complain because he's slowly ruining this country. It's not our duty to let him because "oh well. Were stuck with him". If nobody speaks up how will anything change? I'd love to see him do something useful for once but Jesus Christ.. I think I could do a better job. He's horrible. Give it ten years. History teachers across the country will be talking about Obama during black history month but saying he was the worst president we've ever had.
Lat. You are entitled to your opinion. But if it was an educated opinion then i would pay more attention. You are no better than op of this thread talking out her stanky ass when she didnt even have all of the facts. Vote None of The Above 2016
I do believe that correct Vance. I don't have much of a problem with the college when it comes to Congress. I more or less disagree when we elect our President. I know electoral votes are based on population, members of congress, etc. but I honestly deem it unfair because the Presidents will heavily campaign in Ohio, Colorado, California, and other must have states. They just ignore states like mine. Also California shouldn't have 29 votes when my state only has 9. I understand they are bigger, but there shouldn't be a 20 vote difference between the two. I believe Presidents should be voted on purely by popular vote.
? I think at this point many people are looking for that miracle or god-send president that will wave they're magical wand and fix every damn thing. But that's really not going to happen. No one is capable of fixing anything without some drastic changes. But those changes should be well thought out, and not random crap tossed out there to pacify the masses. Okay I'll admit, increasing the minimum pay for government workers is great. Equal pay for men and women is great! But ummm aren't there bigger issues? Like the fact that economy is in the toilet, the price of the dollar keeps decreasing, and we're kind of being bottle fed by China. Okay maybe that's extreme but we depend on China. We depend on TONS of other countries actually. Where's the old America? But if someone dare utter the words "Cut government spending" congress wets themselves or starts having heart palpitations and someone mentions raises taxes. Raise you say? More money! Yes, but mo' money = mo' problems. I want that damn issue solved. Even if it means some government funded institutions will be cut. And gasp, maybe get rid of all that government welfare. The dependency is only increasing and it is crippling the nation. The government should not be this damn involved in your life. ? I don't like it. I want a president that at least wants at least ONE thing I want. And I don't want gimmicks or glamour pus ads, I want no bullshit, but honest to God, here's what I'm going to do and if I don't do it, so help me God I won't run for another term no matter how damn popular I am. THAT'S what I want in a president.
Hillary Clinton thinks that she can run this country because her husband was a former president so "she knows how it goes." If a neurologist quit his job in the middle of a surgery, the last thing anyone would say is oh! Lets go get his wife! Piss off Hillary and Obama.
That's the exact argument that created the senate. The great compromise sure didn't fix a whole lot did it?
This country is fit for take over. The thing that made me mad the most is when he said "America is the country people would love to invest from" "our economy is ranked better than china".how tf can we invest in this country if we owe China more than 3.6 billion dollars. Bull. 10.10 wage? Bull. By the time tax is done getting whatever they get you'll still have 5-6 dollars left. So bullshit. Save that shit for the birds.
