Who stole your money? You choose to live here. You choose to work here. And you agree to pay taxes. To quote an endless stream of right wingers, if you don't like you don't have to stay.
So, in summary, emotion and social issues.
Also, even if they're equal earners (which they aren't), women are still more vulnerable. They can be stuck with a kid they don't want, for one, whereas a man can only be stuck with a kid if the government makes him.
Also, a lot of the success women are finding in the workplace is due to quotas and such, another government handout.
I can understand why they would tend to vote democrat.
We're really not in disagreement, you're just upset at me calling a spade a spade and saying women are generally more vulnerable and tend to vimote for the party of handouts that takes care of them
actually robin hood was returning the money to those who had it stolen by a corrupt and illegitimate government
oh I disagree. what the federal government does is to create dependency and need. that is the main reason why some pimps in office pretend that the federal government-which was never given any proper power to do so-has to "feed the poor". the last thing those pimps want is a world where no one is hungry, needy or has to beg big brother to take care of them. such an environment would doom the careers of those whose main campaign schtick is "caring for the poor" in order to get power
Yeah, its not as lucrative as selling your vote the way cons do, with a big kick after public service as a consultant..and then back again..get in that revolving door!
Well, there is the problem, the GOP dramatically increased spending when they had both houses and the WH on pointless wars while cutting taxes and regs....leading to the worst depression since '29. Now you jokers have the temerity to whine about handouts....to the poor....created by your depression!I have no clue how that is responsive to what I said. The fact is Democrats buy votes by promising handouts paid for by others, Republicans buy votes by telling those who actually are net tax payers, that the GOP will take less of your money.
You're ruining my analogy

Not every American has the opportunity to provide for themselves. There are not enough jobs, and many of those are taken by others who have no right to be working here. Not all Americans can work. Not all Americans have the mental or physical capacity to work, or to work enough to provide. Whether you like it or not, America is a society. One of the responsibilities of a society is to help this in need. Not to be so overwhelmed and consumed by your own greed that your fellow Americans are starving because you don't feel like they are worthy of food. I won't argue that people in poverty don't need new TVs, cigarettes, drugs, free cable ect. But there is no reason what so ever that any American should ever go hungry.
Where have you been darlin'...quotas are a fond memory.My first grown up job was business to business sales...and I was told that I was the "experiment" because the company had NEVER hired or promoted a woman into sales. They want to drive their revenue numbers and thought a 24 year old girl was just the ticket. I worked harder than any man in the department and they loved me. I even had an account taken away from me because I did not want to spend my afternoons in a strip club doing business...and still made it to High Achievers club. (Ford Motor was the client). The point is, no one gave me anything...I worked every weekend, drove 300-500 miles per week and 12 hour days...much more than the guys. By the time I was 30, I was training all of the sales people in the company, traveling across the US 4 days per week. Women work hard...and to make that statement insults every hard working professional woman in this country...
I always thought Sir Robin got a bad rap. The Sheriff of Nottingham and his master stole from the people to enrich the government. Robin took back which was taken by a corrupt decadent usurper regime and returned it to those who had owned it in the first place
sadly, helping those in need has become a scheme to make more and more needy and more and more dependent. Hunger isn't the biggest problem facing the poor-its obesity and poor life choices such as drugs, smoking, boozing and breeding like rabbits
you are a conservative, which is why you changed your script from "liberal/con" to "dem/gop".I agree, the GOP can suck too
that's why I am a libertarian
I am talking feeding the hungry. And I push and fully support housing as well. Housing with heat. Drugs smoking and boozing are not what I am talking about.
What's wrong with drugs smoking and boozing?
you never tire tossing out these conservative jingoisms.sadly, helping those in need has become a scheme to make more and more needy and more and more dependent.

I'm pretty sure it's all just a story, people don't usually go around handing out cash after they've rightfully stolen it

Sounds like you've accomplished quite a bit, congratulations. Didn't mean to disrespect anyone but my point is that government helped get women to where they are today...maybe not in your case but certainly looking at the bigger picture.
Part of my larger point as to why women tend to vote democrat.
Call it quotas, whatever, they still exist.

Honestly, I think women in sales are kind of hard to beat. All they've got to do is flirt a bit, and most guys will stop thinking their one brain, and start thinking with the other. A lot of men have a tendency to start spontaneously hemorrhaging money shortly thereafter. :lol:
More and more businesses seem to be figuring this out too. Bar tending, for example, is quickly becoming a largely female dominated profession, from what I've seen. Women already have some pretty major sections of the service sector cornered as well.
I think that state of affairs most likely accounts for the discrepancy S&M mentioned earlier (though she was overstating it a little bit). Not only are young men a bit less motivated today than they were in the past, but the limited opportunities that are available in today's struggling - and increasingly service and sales oriented - economy tend to pretty highly favor female skillsets over the male variety. This has given young women something of a leg up over their male peers when it comes to establishing themselves.
I was not the "sexy type"....more the athletic sister or girl next door type. If anything appealed to my clients, it was the "daughter" thing. LOL. Funny that you mentioned bartending....that was the path to my grown up job. Many of the marketing students sold door to door, cook books, encyclopedias, etc. My proven track was my bar sales. We were goaled by bar management to produce X amount of alcohol sales every shift...I bought a fake ID in Daytona Beach on Spring Break when I was 20 and started bar tending immediately...earning a grand in three days. LOL I agree...it does seem to be harder for younger guys to get going...What is up with that? I think it is growing pains...they just take longer to figure it out. I think guys in your age group are terrific fathers tho...very involved and active with their children. It is a weird job market for our current young college graduates. Healthcare seems to be the only industry that snaps them up when they graduate. It used to be, you had mentors, or folks who took you under their arm to groom you, now it seems to be sink or swim.
Yes, a daddy figure. You believe women think like children in their politics and need someone to support them.
SmokeAndMirrors said:If you're going to make these sorts of sexist insinuations, you should at least have the cajones to just be honest about it rather than playing dumb.
You are simply choosing not to listen. The fact is, women in all demographics are dominantly liberal.
I have provided proof of such. However, older people vote more consistently. Therefore, in some demographics, conservative women appear more predominant.
But population-wide, women are still more liberal than conservative across all demographics. So, no -- you are mathematically wrong.
