I Hate Ignorant People (Political Party Alignments)
So, I was at work one day and a man comes in to order something off the dollar menu. He hands me a dollar as I say “Your total is a dollar seven.” Then, without warning he goes on a rant saying, “I forgot this was a Republican dictatorship, back where I live we have no sales tax.” I kept quiet because I do like my job…kind of. This got me thinking over how ignorant people get after they decide they support one side versus the other and become totally closed minded. I have a point to make here, sorry if I offend anyone. This doesn’t only apply to political party alignments, but it is the biggest and best example in my opinion.
After that event occurred this went through my mind:
So why are Republicans bad? Because they make or raise taxes? You know why they do that? They try to make up for the deficit spending done by Democrats. Trying to balance the country’s budget(though seemingly impossible) is a bad thing? I’m sure the same thing happens oppositely for certain other issues.
All I have to say is that as long as we have political parties that fight so hardly against each other and as long as they have drastically different ways of approaching things, our country will be standing around with its dick in its hand waiting for something good to happen.
Final statements:
– Open your mind to new ideas before it shuts forever.
– Compromise isn’t a bad thing.
– Anyone ever thought of trying to have an even amount of Republicans and Democrats in Congress? Just an idea that might help keep our country more stable rather than being on a political teeter-totter.
Sorry if this post seems spastic, I did this late at night so my line of thought isn’t straightforward. I just wanted to make sure I got most of my thoughts down, whatever the order.
