Ben Carson says he would “intensify” the war on drugs

Your collectivist lust for redistributing things that are not yours is showing again Comrade.
Well you see, one case is letting someone keep more of what they owe, the other instance is giving money taken from tax payers. The rich welfare recipient is better in the mind of other welfare recipients I guess.

Rich campaign donor gets 5Billion donated back to his company. This is all good.
Rich non-campaign donor uses the tax code to keep an extra 5 Million of his own money.... he's evil and the problem with the economy.

Because a 5 billion dollar subsidy to Tesla Motors is totally the same thing as just giving Elon Musk a check for $5B.
Because giving tax breaks to Berkshire-Hathaway is totally different than tax breaks for Warren Buffet.

Let's not overlook that you are arguing that a subsidy (from other people's money) is actually a more altruistic act than someone keeping a little more of their own money. That says a great deal about the fuzzy logic of the statists.

No I'm not. I'm arguing that your equivalency is asinine.
I know where the disconnect is, you must be one of those "he didn't build it!" people. Elon Musk really did build Tesla Motors. Elon Musk made a nice donation to a campaign, that person won, quid pro quo, his company is handed billions.

Are you defending the cronyism? Do we like corporate welfare if it's the right corporation?

Why do you consider another rich person keeping another percentage of their own money bad, but giving another billionaire a few extra billion of other people's money is good?

I think you've seen that you stepped on your dick on this one. I fully expect to get called a few names now. Thanks in advance.

Btw, awesome thread here. Carson is going to ramp up the war on drugs when president, but Obama can't do anything about it while president or he would have.

Make up our minds!

No, I'm simply pointing out how retarded your statement was, the rest was just you reading into it, probing for a come back. Protip: a subsidy for Tesla Motors is not a gift to Elon Musk.

lol at pro-tip

That's an amateur "he didn't build that" tip.


That was absolutely quid quo pro, sorry that's so hard on your senses. Musk played that perfectly and bet the right horse. Good for him.

If the government gave 5Billlion to keep Trump plaza afloat, would you argue it wasn't a gift to Trump and that Trump Plaza is totally different? Hell who knows, the way Trump plays both sides, we probably already have.

God built the pyramids?
I'm not sure... Maybe God told Joseph to build the pyramids to store grain for 5000 years, so the aliens could eat it later?
He's a nutter, so who knows for sure. :mrgreen:
Maybe that's why he wants to intensify the WoD; somebody sold him PCP-laced herb back in the day?

This week, when Ben was asked about the Pyramid speech, he said "it's a personal belief."

So this pea-brain decides that an idea is plausible, and then he declares that he believes in it! This is the sure sign of a weak thinker, and there is no place for a religious extremist in the White House.

The more this guy says will reveal what an ignorant ass he actually is, and hopefully the idiot voters will realize it.
