Lies a lot of Americans have fallen for

Guns kill people. Cutting thugs a break will make them behave better. Making laws will stop the lawless. Tell me what lies you or others have or are falling for. Edit: Heres a question. Since when was working at McDonald's supposed to support a family? In other words, minimum wage is a starting point, not a final destination. [b]important:[/b] there is data that shows that crime goes up when guns get banned criminals have no fear of getting shot. Edit: another lie: Every human at one point in there life isn't human.

    God created humans in present form less than 10,000 years ago. No, seriously, as of 2014, [url=http://www.gallup.com/poll/170822/believe-creationist-view-human-origins.aspx]42%[/url] I'm not trying to start a whole religious flame war, I respect other's beliefs, but we've found evidence of civilizations 25,000 years old, fossils of modern humans over 180,000 years old. People who militantly force their atheism on theists do so because it's annoying to tolerate something like this.

      The biggest and most pathetic lie that many Americans (mostly Republicans) have fallen for is that the poor are all lazy and unmotivated. Republicans live in this fantasy world where everyone can climb the ladder and become managers, engineers and doctors. Sorry, but that is statistically impossible. The working class runs this country's economy and gets -blam!-ed in the ass by corporate CEOs and shareholders. They do the jobs that nobody else wants to do, and they get chastised for it. When the average minimum wage earner is 35 and the poor/middle class take less vacations than anyone else, it is clear that trickle-down economics is a myth that is literally killing Americans. In 2014, the average CEO earned 374 times more than their average employee and over 700 times more than a minimum wage worker. Since 1981, the top 1% has seen their income grow by over 300% while the middle class has seen its average income grow by 2-3%. Middle wages have basically stayed stagnant while inflation has rose for the last 35 years. And this is somehow the fault if the working class? It's somehow become a popular Conservative/Republican fad to blame the working class for the fact that their wages have barely increased. But no Republicans seem to be outraged at corporate greed or corruption! I always hear them complaining about illegals, fast-food workers or gay people. Where is the outrage over the fact that pretty much [b][u]EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN SENATOR[/u][/b] voted [i]yes[/i] for an outsourcing (job-killing) bill called the TPP? Where is the outrage that a majority of Republicans opposed Net Neutrality? Where is the outrage for the fact that CEOs have been hoarding all their money for themselves and as result, minimum-wage employees of companies like Walmart and McDonalds are forced to go on food stamps... thus costing taxpayers [b]BILLIONS[/b] of dollars??? We the taxpayers are basically paying for their salary because the CEOs are that greedy! Where is the outrage for the fact that the Republican House and Senate Budget dropped 27 Million Americans off health insurance, cut $400 Billion in Medicaid, dropped 110,000 children from Head Start, denied over 1.2 Million women and children from the WIC program, cut food stamps by over $125 Billion, abolished the estate tax--thus giving the top 2/10ths of 1% (fewer than the richest 6,000 families) over $269 Billion in welfare for the spoiled rich, and INCREASED THE DEFENSE BUDGET BY [u]$94 BILLION[/u]. Yet every single Republican Congressperson likely opposes Bernie Sanders' bill that pays for all public college tuition by taxing 50 cents on every $100 worth of Wall Street stock transactions (less than 0.1% tax). We can't pay for education? Oh just wait, it gets worse. Where is the outrage that since 1996, [b][u]$8.5 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars (TRILLION WITH A T)[/u][/b] has gone missing from the Pentagon. MISSING. Completely unaccounted for! Where the -blam!- is the outrage over this????

          • "guns don't kill people" True, they just make it really easy for people to kill people, sometimes many people. "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun" This is true. But the problem actually started when the bad guy got the gun. (Face desk) A gun that would cost $700-$1000 in the US, would cost around the equivalent of $11500 on the Australian black market. The kind of retard who did the Sandy Hook shooting is incapable of making the kind of black market connections, or get the money needed. http://www.smh.com.au/business/world-business/black-market-guns-triple-in-price-20141013-115f08.html

                • [quote]Edit: Heres a question. Since when was working at McDonald's supposed to support a family? In other words, minimum wage is a starting point, not a final destination.[/quote] The problem is that to get to the final destination, you often need a college education. An education that, for many Americans, is unaffordable and/or carries considerable risk that deters people from pursuing it.

                    Also "Communist" isn't an insult nor are they inherently evil. No more evil than some American Capitalists. Personally I'm neither for the record. Gun crime cannot be solved by more guns too.
