Liberals as usual are doing the real work. I'm seeing all these bullshit posts here and elsewhere with conservatives somehow assuming their side of the fence has stepped up in some sort of meaningful way in Houston. Why?? I don't get it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74159604 Why are we assuming that the "Cajun navy" is conservative in some way? The vast majority of the small boats you see are naturally from the area affected itself. Those who had them evacuated their loved ones then went back to help others. Houston metro votes as Democrat and blue as they come. Statistically speaking...those are mostly liberals you see doing what needs to be done. The "liberal" companies of Amazon and Whole Foods, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Starbucks immediately sprang to action with goods, services, and monetary contributions for relief efforts. Where the fuck is Halliburton and Exxon-Mobile? Lockheed? Oshkosh trucks? Winchester, Remington, Mossberg, or Smith & Wesson? Nowhere to found, as usual. Just like they did nothing during 9-11 or Katrina. Given that they are all basically supported by US military interventions, taxpayer funded contracts and corporate welfare you'd think these fucks would be the first ones in. How does Starbucks feel a greater responsibility to the American citizen than General Dynamics who wouldn't even exist without taxpayer support? Why do you think your side of the fence has any particular ownership in some way for relief efforts? There is zero evidence to support the idea. liberal companies and owners do not pay income taxes which they vote for everyone else. they are now big time in PR mode to revamp the brand since the veil is pulled off their commie agenda hidden from the public for decades. |

Nonsense. They do their fair share of tax evasion as all major companies do....just like your firearm, military hardware, and oil companies do. But don't companies like Halliburton owe a greater debt to the American public than Whole Foods? Your side is as always typically selfish, greedy, and in patriotic as usual. |

In what way does Amazon owe a greater debt to the American public than does Raytheon who couldn't exist without leaching off the taxpayer tit? |

Liberals as usual are doing the real work. Probably for this reason here: This holiday season is a time to examine who’s been naughty and who’s been nice, but I’m unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy. Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates. “When I started doing research on charity,” Mr. Brooks wrote, “I expected to find that political liberals — who, I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did — would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led me to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I re-ran analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.” Conservatives also appear to be more generous than liberals in nonfinancial ways. People in red states are considerably more likely to volunteer for good causes, and conservatives give blood more often. If liberals and moderates gave blood as often as conservatives, Mr. Brooks said, the American blood supply would increase by 45 percent. [link to www.nytimes.com] |

Liberal's idea of helping " SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY". BINGO!!! Their idea of compassion is to have a law passed that mandates other to people give money to the just causes they support. You can read all about it here: Bleeding Heart Tightwads [link to www.nytimes.com] It does make sense in a way. In the liberal mind, they know that they and their friends, just won't give money unless they are compelled by law to do so. This is their Universe. In the Liberal Blue State Bubble, they just can't imagine people would be generous on their own money, time or blood, so they can't imagine any other way to do it. A more equitable law would be that if you are a registered Democrat, you must give away a certain percentage of your income to charity. That would solve their own problem and avoid pissing off conservatives with a more sweeping law. |

OP, you’re throwing around words that you do not understand. Tax “evasion” is illegal and punishable with jail time. Tax “avoidance” is 100% legal. Many corporations are audited every year. Unless corporate CEOs are going to jail, then what they’re doing is tax “avoidance,” you fucking moron. |
