What, you mean the dignity of corporate welfare? What, you mean the dignity of the Republican Culture of Corruption?

Republicans take from the hard working middle class American family and give to the dilettante and corrupt ultrawealthy. We are already on the path to second class status in the world.

Do you still not see that? At the rate the world is going, we will no longer be the world's largest economy within our lifetime. While we're out making ruinous wars for corporate profit, our middle class manufacturing and professional jobs are being rapidly outsourced.

Couple that with Republican zeal to kill everything that we've stood for in the last century and we can start calling ourselves the lately great US of A. It is appalling that you cannot see this future.

People who absolutely will not stand up responsibly are typically the very people who make it more difficult for the one's who do; and I am not thinking of one political party vs another. These people seem to be very needy as they are always at the fore front of complaints and never there acting on solutions.

For example: Everyone knows we have a border problem and that it is costing billions in taxes that would otherwise go to support people already in the country. I bet the people who are screaming, 'racist', every time you try to open a discussion about it, are the same people who complain that there isn't enough government money being spent on support services for the people already in the country. They are the same people who will be at the front of the line pointing fingers and charging the government for neglect when an illegal alien bombs something in America.

Which is the more difficult problem? The problem of substance like coming up with solutions for border control, or dealing with needy people who's only function in life is contention, no matter what the issue.
