You need to listen to him for a couple weeks to really understand what Rush is all about. To just listen to him for a couple programs will not really tell you much about the man. he even tells new listeners to listen for a couple weeks, or more. I too thought he was a blowhard the first couple times I listened to him, but I hooked after listening to him for awhile.

Now, i will say that most liberals and some moderates don't like him and won't listen to him.

But, he is NO r****t.

The names I chose are in fact 'generalizations', and not directed at anyone in particular, however, the point is that the conservative movement is trying to destroy the ACA and most social programs, while many are using the very same programs.
But here is the deal, if and when certain posters refrain from calling the president the names they do, such as marxist, c****e, kenyan, muslim, Oillegal, Odummy, Obummy and ad nauseum, I will cease and desist from most name calling. I doubt that will happen.

Hypocrisy is a national political disease. There is not one good side and one bad side politically, but only a thinly disguised "One-Party Two-Party" system that is bent on incumbency and the necessary re-e******n.
Mark Twain said, "V**e the rascals out," but the Maslar political philosophy is a bit more harsh.
"If they choose, on their own, to run for office, elect them for two terms at a time, and let them spend the first term in jail, because they must've done something."

I don't agree with either of your suggestions. Money moved overseas just means our tax system is to regressive. Reduce the taxes, and that money will stay here. As for the "lowest paid employee" idea, what if his legitimate business deductions are over that? BTW, that socialism.

When taxes are reduced, the rich keep more money here in country, and free up more for capital investment. New companies start with this investment and more people are employed. Increase taxes, and the rich hoard more money, and move it into tax shelters, of which many are overseas. Rich people do the hiring, not the poor, or lower middle class.

The U.S. currently has the second highest corporate tax in the world, and is the only country that taxes companies that have company entities overseas on top of the taxes they pay to that host country. That needs to change. the problem is the democrats are in power, and they only know how to raise taxes. Exception being JFK, the only democrat to reduce taxes, and it worked.

Too bad for cruz and pauli, the majority of their audience was comprised of geezers already on Medicare. For the very dumb conservatards, Medicare is a government run health program for geezers, one of the best available plans in the country.
Very bad optics for the teabag crowd, and proof that the conservatards even h**e themselves. Bet none of the geezers want to give their Medicare coverage, and they are whining because the over-paid Medicare Advantage program was brought in line with traditional Medicare plans.
