Why do Liberals believe that bringing down corperations is going to help the poor?

Question

Thank God for Republicans! That stunt that the Liberals in Congress, trying to steal money from a corperation for pure political purposes, pulled today was pure attempt at a government takover of a private business (socialism!) What in the h**l gives these marxist the audacity to think they are entitled to a corperations profits.These idiots have no idea how a free market economy works.This thing was attempted so they could look at these young voters in November and say "see we care about you and we're going to bring these corperations down to size". Ronald Reagan said it best;"you cannot strengthen the poor by weakening the rich. These Democrats should be impeached, imagine trying to bring an economy to it's knees for political gain...

Answer 1

Because nothing is sexier than taking down the big guy. Liberals love that.

Answer 2

It's not about dismantling corporations; it's about dismantling the corporatocracy that has established itself ever since the Harding administration.

Answer 3

Because they have no idea how the world actually works.

Answer 4

You listen to AM talk radio?  Even though the liberals have the television and newspapers, the conservatives still own AM radio.

Extreme left liberals tend to be socialistic in nature and ideas.  The moderate ones are less so but can still be dangerous to big companies and corporations.

Those two groups are looking to redistribute wealth(not thier though) so there is a classless society.  Only problem is, there'd still be classes, the rich government and the poor people.  BTW, there are liberal republicans too, so be careful.

Many poor people would love to get handouts from the government, money gained from those who worked hard to get the great resources...I've got a good story from my e-mail box, worth a read if you have a couple minutes and a sense of humor:

Answer 5

Scrap our isms.  Liberals don't aim to tear corporations down, they fight to spread the wealth in a more balanced way to the employees who contribute to the profits.

Answer 6

Those crazy liberals would tax the profits of oil corporations and invest it in renewable energy alternatives, that would hurt the oil companies if the U.S. had alternative renewable energy sources!

Answer 7

they dont. theyre trying to swipe funding for special interests and use YOUR tax dollars for projects you never agreed to. such lovely people.

Answer 8

Small business create more jobs at greater pay rates. Corporations give all the money to a few and everyone else works at minimum pay.

Answer 9

It's difficult to get inside the mind of a lib.  But if you could do so, it would sound something like this:  "once you bring down corporations, the workers of the world will unite and all be poor together!!!"

It must be along those lines...

Answer 10

they actually believe that when they tax corporation profits twice that they are putting it to them.not knowing that the big corporations are never going to pay the extra tax.they just mark up there item so we pay more.you know these new democrats are supposed to be educated,what a joke.

Answer 11

because about half of Americans, whether they know it or not, have marxist tendencies...it makes me want to puke!! these fools have no clue of what degradation, ruin and losses of freedom  they are about to bring upon themselves and  this nation..God help this nation if Obama is elected...God help the world if he is elected..

Answer 12

Great post. 100% correct.

Answer 13

Cutting tax loopholes for corporations and creating a windfall tax for the oil companys would be a good. Invest the money in clean renewables which has to be the future of our country.

Answer 14

It will only hurt the poor guy further. By attacking big corporations, the Dems will just drive them out of the country eventually. They will set up business in a more friendly country. The Dems are simply pandering for votes from the stupid people. These people don't realize that the reason the gas prices are high is because of supply and demand. And that isn't changing. India and China use millions and millions of barrels a day. That isn't going to change.

Answer 15

Because the poor "believe" it will help them.

The democrats very survival depends on people "believing" they need big government.

They speak what they want people to believe, not the truth.

Substitute the word poor, with the word ignorant.

You are know seeing the results of a failed education system with every vote a democrat gets.
