Henry Phillips - The Worst Waffle Shack

Duke Nudem - Yes, you read that right - DNF promo game

spoco2 says...

*sigh*

Stick in the mud Spoco here again

You know, the original Duke3D had overtones of Duke being sexist etc. but I really do think they've taken it a step too far with the new game. These sorts of promotions, and the glory hole in game are hardly just tongue in cheek nods at how sexist the character of Duke is, they have stepped into the realm of ACTUALLY being horrendously sexist.

Pity, the game looks like it'll probably be really fun, it's just the step too far will leave a bad taste in my mouth. (That's what she said).

Well, remember how we were talking about taxes? If we're going to play the fashionable game and tack dollar values of benefits onto people's salaries to pad the number for demagogic effect, then my effective tax rate is even smaller, more like 8% if you add the value of my health & retirement benefits to my income. You really need to consider doing your taxes yourself, clearly your CPA is doing something wrong.

So here's the thing, you say firefighters have such a sweet deal because of unions. I have an idea, how about instead of taking away unions from firefighters, why not get unions for everyone?

As for why you get flack from liberals for being a selfish fascist when you bitch about taxes, it's because you never give anyone a reason to think you're somehow being treated unfairly. There's one set of Federal tax laws, and most of us can fill out our 1040 or 1040EZ, grumble, and go on with life. You aren't running your business as a charity to help the unemployed, you're trying to make a buck. There's no blankfist tax, or anti-entrepreneurial tax. On the contrary, there are tax subsidies for small business all over the place, to the point where little middle class worker bees like me get fucking tired of hearing about it.

GE somehow paid zero taxes, and got a 3.2 billion dollar check from Uncle Sam. Instead of bitching about the insanity of that, all you want to do is fuck over all public sector employees all across the nation because you think they might be getting a slightly better deal than you.

Surely by now you've seen this:

A CEO, a tea party member, and a union worker are all sitting at a table when a plate with a dozen cookies arrives. Before anyone else can make a move, the CEO reaches out to rake in eleven of the cookies. When the other two look at him in surprise, the CEO locks eyes with the tea party member. “You better watch him,” the executive says with a nod toward the union worker. “He wants a piece of your cookie.”

That's what you're doing.

Oh, and by the way, student loans are subsidized by tax dollars. As was your K-12 education, I suspect. I bet you've also taken advantage of the services of countless thousands or millions of people who had their education paid for or subsidized by tax dollars. I bet the navy taught you some marketable job skills even (beyond the right way to use a glory hole). You were probably born in a hospital that was subsidized by tax dollars, and delivered by a doctor whose education was subsidized by tax dollars, and received vaccinations for childhood illness that were developed by research subsidized or wholly funded by tax dollars. You might even occasionally use this thing called the Internet, which is based on technology developed at DARPA as part of the defense budget.

Look, I have sympathy for anyone who's struggling to make ends meet, and I know running your own business is tough -- that's why I haven't tried it. But it's your philosophy that says people have to own their failures even if it's not really their fault. If you were working for, say, Blockbuster the last 15 years, did an excellent job, but then got laid off because traditional rentals got destroyed by Netflix, that's your fucking problem, and nobody else should have to help you out with your plight. That includes bailouts in the form of tax cuts.

Me, I want a safety net so that if you seriously fall flat on your face, you won't have to worry about having a place to sleep, and food to eat, and will still be able to go see a doctor for the STD you picked up from fucking farm animals. I think all life is precious, and that the markets are a fickle and harsh mistress, while the nanny state should always welcome you into her large, welcoming bosom.

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Yes, LA is really fucked up. So is California in general. And so are my apocryphal firefighters and policemen.

The average pay for firefighters you linked me to doesn't account for benefits and pension, does it? That's just base salary. So, if the average pay for firefighters is just under $44k, then that's pretty much their taxable income because I cannot image what possible expenses they'd deduct, because they have zero financial risk being an employee. And I'd imagine his benefits alone would equal around $15k to $20k. And then of course their pension which is available when they retire at 55.

That's a pretty good deal. And they get women fawning over them and the vox populi calling them heros. Then there's the guy in the private sector, who's painted to look selfish and evil. People like me. But we don't have unions to protect us, give us great pensions and benefits, and we actually create jobs. I created two last year myself. That aside, the real problems with LA and CA are the unions. They were one thing when they protected proletariats from the bourgeoisie in Charles Dickens' England, but they're something entirely different today, especially when allowed to collude with government and legislators.

I grew up in a milltown in the South. You can't get more working class than that. I'm almost 40 and I'm still paying off my college loans, so suffice it to say no one helped me out. Being happy? I know what makes me happy. The same things you mentioned: not having to worry about rent, not having to worry about food, etc. But without getting too personal here, I can safely say some of that worries me right now because of what I owe to the taxman. And probably nine to eight years back I was in a really, really bad place, yet the taxman cometh. I tried to cash a honkey check, but apparently those don't exist. I guess being white only goes so far contrary to modern lib rhetoric.

What I find interesting is if someone like me bitches that the tax is too high, which it is, then some of you complain I'm selfish and refusing to pay my fair share. But isn't it you, the statists who believe in stealing my money to give to others, that are actually being selfish by laying the tax burden so heavy on the middle class? Specifically income tax.

-So Sarah's in the lead is she? Well she could certainly use a turn on Dancing Your Ass Off. If you lost a few pounds maybe a man would be able to look at you without drinking his ass off first. And girl, lose those heavy nerd glasses, ever hear of laser surgery?

-What's up with that Peter Serafinowicz guy? 38 years old and dressed up like a gay 18 year old asian? You're an adult, dress like one! Where'd you get that fauxhawk? Are they giving free hair-gel down at the local glory hole, Nancy?

-And what's the deal with that Reg Hunter guy? A failed American comedian hiding out in the UK? Couldn't make it at home so he runs away to a foreign land where he'll be "accepted". Well they'll accept you just until the novelty wears off, buddy. Get a haircut, Dreadlocks are so 20th century.

Hey rottenwhorerpictureseed, I love your latest collaboration with blankfist



Who knew blankfist had such a great rack? Sorry I missed your recent diamond acquisition. I'm sure your rock is a big hit at the glory hole. I honestly had intended to do the post myself, but I had other shit interfere with my Sift presence. I even shopped a picture for the occasion, but alas, it is a wee bit too late. Will you settle for a handjob from joedirt? I could smack him around a little bit, just for you.

SURELY you won't find any of these shenanigans on the other side of the aisle.

What you won't find the other side of the aisle doing is preaching how 'family values' is the be all to end all of morality and the then hold themselves up as paragons of that virtue.

Its like hypocrisy is valuable commodity and they're trying to get all of it they can. Preaching abstinence only while your teenage daughter gets knocked up, espousing the evils of gays while sexting underaged congressional pages from an airport bathroom where you're getting a BJ through a glory hole, 'hiking the Appalachian trail', screaming that illegal immigrants are ruining the country when you've got 5 tending your garden, bemoaning government spending and intrusion while you're giving the okay for huge defense spending and tapping of citizen's phones. The Republicans' behavior is the very antithesis to their own ideology.

No the dems or libs aren't great, but for the sheer absurdity of their positions vs actions the republicans take the cake.
