16 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy are cons telling the blatent lie that Chicago teachers all make $75,000 a year?
The top rate for a teacher in Chicago is $75,000
The bottom rate for a teacher in Chicago is $33,000 (which is barely over the poverty line)
which means, mathematically (I know, cons hate doing real math) the median rate of a Chicago teacher's salary is $47,000
And the same people that think $250,000 isn't rich say teachers that make as little as $33,000 are overpaid

9 AnswersPolitics9 years agoAre cons really gullible enough to think that oil companies are working to get gas prices down?
I mean, for the pice of gas to go down the main thing that has to happen is the price of oil has to drop. and if the price of oil goes down, a lot of people that buy oil stock will lose a $#!+load of money. If you read the WSJ or watch Fox Business they always talk about lowering oil prices like it's a bad thing.
13 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhat will the tea party do if they get their way and America becomes a corporate conglomerate?
Corporations are already buying elections and providing funding the people who seem to be against their own self interest in favor of big business

12 AnswersPolitics9 years agoCan we expect the rest of corporate America to emulate the airlines if their corporate tax are lowered?
Not long ago the FAA had a partial shutdown which caused a brief airline ticket tax holiday. Many of the airlines took advantage of this and raised the ticket prices so there was no reduction in cost as there should have been if they followed the typical corporate argument that "we shift the cost of the taxes we pay on to the customers"

13 AnswersPolitics9 years agois the one day of record sales at Chik-Fil-A going to make up for the lost revenue of a prolonged boycott?

15 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy are conservatives all for overthrowing oppressive regimes unless it's Obama authorizing it?
They were all for getting Bin Laden... Until Obama authorized the raid (they're now claiming he overruled the planned raid two months before we even knew where Bin Laden was)
They were all for backing the rebels in Libya until Obama authorized the drone strikes
They were all for backing the rebels in Syria before they found out Obama authorized backing the Syrian rebels
Plus they were against military incursions into "America's strongest ally in the war on terror" Pakistan before we found out that the Pakistani government had been hiding Bin Laden for the better part of a decade, now they're asking why we've got diplomatic relations with them.
Iraq
Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia
Kuwait
I mean do conservatives like dictators just as long as they play ball with America?
13 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy is it that Fox "news" never mentions the underemployment or "real" unemployment numbers for (R) run states?
They always bring the "real" unemployment and underemployment numbers up when national unemployment numbers make the news. But, for some reason, they never mention them when they tout the lower unemployment in states like, say for example, Texas
16 AnswersPolitics9 years agoHow many people have to get sick and/or die before cons start giving a damn about the food supply?
According to the CDC and FDA "Due to lack of food regulations, food-borne illnesses are on the rise. About 48 million people (one in six Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and about 3,000 people die each year from food borne diseases such as E-coli, salmonella and listeria from contaminated food.
However 25 senate republicans and 126 congressional republicans (many if not all backed by the tea party) all voted against the Food Safety Regulatory act and have been instrumental in blocking funding and implementation.

Right to work state
No state corporate taxes
No state income taxes
And the highest unemployment rate in the country
8 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy is the right so worked up about one border patroll agent all of a sudden?
They couldn't have cared less when thousands of American troop were sent to Iraq on Bush's orders based on information that W knew was false.
Has anyone ever looked up how many border patrol agents were killed by Mexicans with guns bought in America before the year 2000?
Has anyone ever shown that the gun used to kill the agent came from the ATF operation?
Is everything the right wing knows about Fast & Furious from places that also guaranteed the veracity of several stories about Obama's wasteful spending and government overreach that turned out not to be true; such as the $200 million a day trip to India, the $50 thousand for lingerie and most recently the EPA unmanned drones?
