Democrats for "meaner" government check in here! How mean can we be?

[Karmadillo]

Cutting entitlements (Mom! Get your walker! Walmart wants you in early today!) is mean enough to show we've earned our new slogan, but it's not enough to keep it. How else can we be mean? End child labor laws (intrusive government do-gooding)? End laws pushed through by the hippie environmentalists (interference with private property)? The more we can work together on this, the meaner we can be. Give us your best ideas! Let's do it! Let's show the world we "mean" it!

1. Raise the taxes on the poor and give it to those making

over 250 thousand a year.

[katnapped]

4. Nah, not enough

Anyone with an income that doesn't rhyme with -illion needs to turn over their paychecks to the nobility who make this country great.

[katnapped]

2. Minimum wage has to GO

Gubermint shouldn't be dictating how much business HAS to pay workers. For that matter, why do employees have a right to be paid a salary at all? Isn't that theft of company profits?

[Karmadillo]

29. Just goes to show that if you give workers an inch, they'll take a mile. If it's not $$$,

it's benefits. They're insatiable.

[Lucky 13]

3. Cat food for all!

[jtuck004]

16. At a reasonable price and profit point, of course. n/t

[Liberalynn]

19. Have you seen the price of cat food these days.

That's too good for those despicable moochers. Bird seed maybe?

[KoKo]

5. I take it you listened to the President's News Conference?

:wow: he really laid it all out where the cuts for the "Sacred Cow" programs of "both parties" are going to come from. "Entitlements, SS, MEDICARE, MEDICADE." He didn't happen to get to what the Repugs "Sacred Cows" are specifically that would have to be cut.

[dionysus]

6. RARGH!!!!1!

[Erose999]

7. Replace WIC and school lunch with dog food. Its not just for seniors anymore....

[Erose999]

8. I say we should let employers pay in "Scrip" again. If people are willing to sell their soul to the

company store, I think letting them would be a sound free market principle.

[leveymg]

9. Honest polling would show his Democratic numbers down 25% this week

He's becoming a sacred cow, himself. In a nation of hungry bacon cheeseburger lovers, that's a problem.

[Zorra]

10. Repeal the ADA. Why should disabled slackers have special rights, privileges,

and accommodations?

They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

And, with social security all but abolished, the severely disabled will be forced to get jobs, which will lead to greater capitalist innovation, such as, for example, the invention of devices that can help wheelchair bound people pick lettuce by allowing them to creep along the ground and cut lettuce. An added bonus will be the increase in inexpensive labor because of increased labor competition. A win-win all the way around!

See, the system works! God Bless Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party, Corporate Democrats, and Corporate Government!
:patriot:

11. Throw whistlblowrs in jail. Start more wars. Give torturers a pass.

Oh, wait..

[Morning Dew]

12. For profit debtor's prisons

[CakeGrrl]

13. ...

Unrec for pretending not to know what the phrase "lean and mean" means.

[SidDithers]

14. +1...nt

[Liberalynn]

15. Give the eighty year old Grandmaa and Grandpas

a pack of seeds and tell them to get off their lazy no good asses and grow their owned damned food," if they want to eat so badly.

That or they can forage out of garbage cans and hunt in what's left of the forrests for toxic rain washed berries, etc.

[girl_interrupted]

18. I wonder where he would have been without his Grandma&Grandpa

What a cold hearted person, Obama is.

[Liberalynn]

21. I am really starting to wonder whether he has any understanding of the word

"compassion?"

[jtuck004]

23. Easy, and there may already be some support for it.

Just re-index the cost of living - Bernie Sanders says that one maneuver alone will impoverish 245,000 more people.

Then increase the age for SSI - hey, people are living longer, they can be hungry and in poverty longer, eh? That could make life miserable for at least another half million or so people. And with a little weasel-wording we can keep everyone in office that is there today.

Don't remember where I read it, but there is nothing easier than implementing trickle-up poverty.

And that's just mean.

[dissidentboomer]

17. Sell all government jobs and noble titles in auctions AND

OUTLAW ALL retirement benefits. Who the hell EVER needs to retire and slow down in life??? Fuck old people. They can work! After all, "Arbeit macht frei!"

[Erose999]

20. Defund the USDA. Monsanto has its own scientists who know whats fit for human consumption. When the

GMO's and pesticides and unsanitary farming practices start giving people giant tumors and/or anal leakage, consumers in the free market will vote with their dollars. And they won't need USDA guidelines or peer reviewed University Journals for research either...

[krabigirl]

22. End the wars, the tsa, etc. Sorry tsa workers, you will need to find a new job.

[Ganja Ninja]

24. Two words: Soylent Green.

Old people need to check in and check out. Soylent Green if exported could help balance our trade deficit. Besides retirement will suck anyway without Social Security and Medicare.

[Erose999]

25. Install "greeters" in all public buildings and use "self checkout" terminals for all public services

[Erose999]

26. Replace justice Ginsberg with Nancy Grace...

[provis99]

27. lower the draft age to 12 and exclude conservatives.

[Erose999]

28. New Medicare perscription drug policy - the first dose is free.

[AverageJoe90]

30. Start repealing child abuse laws, Enact more immigration laws like SB1070

Promote CP in schools & at home, while suppressing studies which expose the dangers. Turn back anti-discrimination laws. Repeal the Civil Rights Act and give racists more protection by the government, as per Ron Paul's wishes. Suppress global warming research.
And that's just a start, folks.

Seriously, we need to wake up here, this is exactly the direction we're headed in.
