Republicans shut down the FAA

[z31maniac]

How much do you get paid per hour?

How is that relevant?

But how's about this?

If trickle-down economics and low tax rates on the rich, are so superior, why is that you can see the correlation between the implementation of "Reaganomics" and the subsequent stagnation of middle-class wages?

Because I know he wont answer the question....because I'm sure he gets paid pretty well...even though he thinks (as many Union employees do) that he's underpaid.

Ask someone that believes in trickle down economics.

Lost FAA taxes would amount to about $1.3 billion through Sept. 7, when Congress resumes legislative business, said Laura Brown, an agency spokeswoman.

Am I advocating for no corporations? No, I just want them to stop buying Politicians and get honest and straight with the tax payer and citizens forced to use them. And to stop with the power trip.

Hey, we agree on something ;)

You're quality of trolling is really going downhill :( It's only slightly above the, "I know you are, but what am I?"

Here's there description of my job according to u.p.:

Trickle down economics worked so well in the 80s and Reagan isn't remembered for ONE economic thing, great speaker. he beat communism by outspending them......Great economic man there.

Care to tell me your background and education; you are not arguing with a moron here.

Avg salary in the country is ~$35k. So thats still approx 45% higher? (I always confuse which number goes on top in the % difference)

Median in 2010 was actually a bit over $46K, but only 2.6% make $200K or better.

But I agree if you are in an area with a high cost of living, that isn't really much.

Quite right. Especially if your job went away, and now you have to drive a long way to your job with gas at $4/gal, because no one is willing to buy your home for enough to keep you from being underwater......

It doesn't help that Congressmen and Senators have forgotten what it means to have to work hourly for a living.

[z31maniac]

Yeah, I looked avg now is ~$38-39k. Not sure which is a better measure, avg or median.

Did the troll I'm about to put on ignore, run out of ways to attack everything he doesn't 100% agree with.

And you're underpaid...welcome to so many other Union workers feelings while you still make more than the vast majority of the people I've worked with and around.
You already stuck you foot in your mouth by admitting you consider yourself underpaid. The Union slogan..."Less work, more money." Oh yeah boo hoo they want you to do more than is required of you. You spew all the typical Union rhetoric.

e30e...education funded by the tax payer.

Did the troll I'm about to put on ignore, run out of ways to attack everything he doesn't 100% agree with.

Not going to miss you. It makes it easy when you admit the very thing I'm pointing out. Whiny ass Union workers who have zero perspective. Fuck the company, what can I get out of this deal.

First off, I'm following the agreement agreed upon by the company, I didn't negotiate my job description and details. I show up and do what's told and the second I do something that is not in an agreement, I get sent home. I don't do something my supervisor tells me to do, I go home. Who's at fault, must be the unions fault.

Go ahead and attack my education, let me ask what your degree in? What do you make a year? What's your work experience. I've answered everything you want to spit at me. I have a BS in Agriculture Technology Management and Education from The University of Arizona; wanna find fault in that degree or school too?

Did you go to public school, then it was funded by tax payers(damn the government makes it a requirement for children to attend school). I went a land grant university funded by tax dollars (abe lincoln was an asshole for setting up land grant schools, right?). My education was paid for by taking out loans from sallie mae funded by tax dollars (asshole government wanting me to get an education). By your own standards I'm a piece of shit then, right because I used what our country provides to people who apply for those things and uses them correctly right. I work my ass off for Union Pacific who made 8 BILLION dollars last year in profit, there stock is trading around 100 a share and is going to split soon and in the last 100 years has never failed to make profit. I highly doubt I'm the one with a bad attitude wanting to get paid more so I can pay back my student loans early and qualify for a government controlled mortgage. I must be a lazy union worker who is ruining this country; Joshh you win. I've seen the light.

I love how you justify about everything that has been handed to you. Shit if I were like you, I'd run out and take advantage of everything I possibly could JUST because the Government is handing it out....personal responsibility be damned. No wonder this country is in such horrible debt.

On the original topic there Corvallis

Seems that the Senate (controlled by the DEMS) already passed this same bill that the house is just now getting to vote on.

Yeah again those evil republicans

Yet I pay my bills and show up to work on time, god damn. Answer my questions waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, what exactly do you add to anything except bitch and moan.

Please tell me you have a better education than me, please tell me you know the rules of parliamentary procedure and know how to debate correctly, please tell me that my conservative Republican upbringing is wrong, what else you got. Why aren't you banned yet......oh that right they are too busy banning porn on this website to waste time on someone who trolls saying bmi doesn't apply to them, how Scientology is stupid, but then post on a pity party thread on suicide. I'm not jelly I just respect balance, you apparently live in a world where compromise and sanity don't exist.
