Every Day Republican Lies

There is not a day goes by that I have to talk to people about lies or untruths. I understand opinions like is health care a right or priviledge? Does life begin at conception or birth? We have opinions on everything but there are facts that have to be discussed. Today it was Barak Obama has done nothing in 3 years. WOW. You might no like him but he stopped a depression, the economy has gone from negative 9% to + 3%, or losing 750,000 jobs per month to gaining 300,000 jobs. We got Osama, Gaddafi, many #2 and #3 leaders of Al Queda, Student Loan Reform, Health Care Reform, Wall Street Reform, extended unemployment insurance, Cash for Clunkers, changed world opinion of US and in general brought intelligence to the office. He has mentioned over 159 promises kept-not bad for doing nothing. Other lies? Cutting taxes improve the deficit-false. Obamas healh care increases the debt/deficit-no it improves it. Obama is a socialism-no he is a centrist, pragmatist that works with Republican ideas. Debt is the worst problem-no unemployment is the worst thing-Republicans do not care about debt with a Republican in office. The rich are job creators, no they cost the US jobs in moving them overseas. Obama is dividing the country with class warfare-no we have had class warfare since 1980 with Reagan destroying the middle class-tax cuts shift income to the rich. Unions are bad and no, they help the worker, raise wages, increase benefits. I almost look at everything out of a Public Republican speaker-media or politican as a lie or falsehood. Please, your theories don't work and evidence is there. Stop the lying.

How Can We Stop the Republican Lies?

What can be done about the Republican lies? This is not for the regular Republican that reads, listens to both sides and has common sense. This is for Newt, Mitt, Rush, Sean and all the other talking heads, Fox News, conservative junkies that just lie. Tax cuts create jobs or lower the deficit. The Obamacare is socialism and increases the debt. Regulations hurt jobs and we have too many regulations. Social security is welfare. Unemployment is welfare. People can't live on $250,000 and are struggling, but teachers and firefighters making $50,000 are living high on the hog. The lies against Unions are the worst-right to work helps create jobs, unions steal your money, unions hurt workers. On and on, the lies go. Listen to Mitt, Rick, or Newt it is so bad. How can we stop the lies? Republicans just say them over and over and their drones believe them. Wow. Insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting new results. Call them out, show facts, articles, yell louder, and just point to their own life. If they are not rich, which most are not, just ask how are the Republican ideas serving them now-wars, terroism, debt, jobs-since 1980, how has the Reagan Revolution worked for them?

Right to Work means less pay and benefits

Right to work is horrible for workers and employees. As a union member I support my union friends. We are getting destroyed in the Press for no good reason. Right to work laws are nice names that are a lie. We all have a right to work at a fair, decent wage, following rules like get paid for overtime, get paid for hours worked, have benefits, sick pay and time off on weekends. This is gone. Wages are down. In right to work states pay is less for all workers union and non union-$1500 to $2000. Benefits are worse and the worst thing is jobs are not saved. Jobs are not coming into right to work states-they are leaving. People are working for less and less money but working harder-more hours, more responsibility. From Walmart making you work off the clock to Del Taco regular pay working on Thanksgiving. Right to work is terrible for everyone. It means pay cut. See the article below. Believe and change the perception. http://www.thenation.com/article/165599/what-right-work-means-indianas-workers-pay-cut

Taxes that help the Country

Taxes create and change incentives. Taxes can help people decide to buy a house or invest in a property. There are tax breaks for giving to charity (good), getting married (good), paying for college (good), making money, buying products and more. Taxes can help pay the debt, help decision makers. A few good ideas for taxes. A stock transaction tax of a penny or five cents. It can raise approximately $350 billion over time and stop or slow computer trading on Wall Street. This allows Wall Street to pay for some of its mess. A tax on speculation of oil and commododities can also slow down driving up prices for profits. Taxing millionaires can help Corporate managers put more money back into the company to help build US companies. A tax credit to hire US workers, a tax on workers hired outside of US. A tax on foreign goods, not to raise income but to stop imports. Taxes can help US companies pay the proper amounts and offset disadvantages or advantages by other companies. We need to raise money and stop speculation. We need to slow down company greed and support the US. Stop the giving of money to the top 1%. We have income distribution but it is bottom up and that has to stop.

Obama Can Run on Credentials

Many are saying Obama will lose the next election. Others say he will win because the Republican choices are so bad. I say Obama will win becuase he deserves to win. With Republicans determined to stop him win at any and all cost Obama scored plenty of victories in 2009-10. With a majority in House and Senate he accomplished Healthcare reform, Wall Street Reform, Student Loan Reform, minimum wage increases, stopping torture, a new kind of diplomacy and a host of other accomplishments. The stimulus package with tax cuts and spending. Cash for clunkers was a great success. Bailouts of auto industry has saved thousands of workers at no cost to the taxpayer. Since 2010 with fillibusters and just say no, he has gotten Osama Bin Ladin, ended the Iraq War and did the Libyian War at such a low cost and toppled a dictator. He increased the debt limit and kept the country going. GDP is growing, unemployment is decreasing, consumers are buying more. The economy is getting better. I see no reason not to run on achievements. He has done more than GW Bush, HW Bush, Clinton, Carter and even Reagan. He has not really had any management problems. He deserves a second term. He has helped our country from the Great Depression 2-go Obama.

Ask Republicans Why they hate Obama?

As a liberal democrat that believes in no war, legalizing drugs, taxing millionaires at 70% or higher, government spending to stimulate the economy, medicare for all, no torture, no drone killings, no wiretapping, no indefinete detentions, real Wall Street Reform, all regulatory reforms with teeth, election reform etc. I can go on all the time what I want. Obama has always been a pragmatist, centrist that will deal with Republicans. He uses Republican ideas. As I was talking with a Republican friend who is voting for Romney, I asked why? Obama is a great Republican. He has lowered taxes more than Bush I or II, and Reagan-most of the stimulus was tax cuts. He got Osama, and expanded the Afghan war, plus added fighting with Libya. Why the hate? He does drone attacks and is not afraid to use the military against pirates etc. He has continued wiretapping, indefinete detentions, he has used the Patriot act and more. Why the hate?He has gutted alot of reforms and was not strong against BP and oil. Why the hate?He has caved with taxes on millionaires. Why the hate? Health care reform was really republican ideas-end pre-existing conditions, tort reform, get rid of yearly/lifetime maximums and the individuate mandate and have more customers for health insurance companies. Why hate Obama? These are ideas from the Heritage Foundation. Why the hate? I am going to ask and ask and ask. We need the answers.
