Unofficial State of the Union Address Thread

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) went there before President Barack Obama's State Of The Union address Tuesday, tweeting that he was waiting on the House floor for the "socialistic dictator" to deliver his speech.

We need a leftist response to the State of the Union, not just a response from the even worse reactionaries. The idea that a imperialist neoliberal thug should represent the "left" is disgusting.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Yay, America's the number one place to leech off the capital produced by labor!

The True Leftists are giving a response.

[H. Ross Peron]

I'm glad the President acknowledged our deficit has been cut in half

[H. Ross Peron]

Obama begins by shilling the hollow recovery.

He's now beginning to note its deficiencies...

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Obama throws pennies to keep his left flank distracted while tacitly supporting policies which rape the global proletariat (TPP, his secret war on public education, his health care handout to HMO's and Big Pharma, etc.)

And thank you for that, Scott.

[Flake]

Here's the income inequality issue

Keep on whining for the rest of your life. Your ideology will never be popular.

Your ideology should have been stamped out in 1945, but the fights at the local level for $15 and a union and the end of the decline in unionization rates show that democratic socialism is not only alive, but on the cusp of victory.

[H. Ross Peron]

Referring to the Speaker as an example of what is possible in America was quite clever.

So was the line to lower tax rates for businesses that bring jobs back from overseas.

This is too funny. Obama is actually doing better than I expected.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

And again the imperialist suggests that the same band-aids he's given lip to for the past five years will solve economic inequality, and he's framed the issue in the most right-wing way possible (expanding le opportunity!!11)

[Consciously Unconscious]

Yeah,  I laughed at that

You're going on ignore until the true-leftist crap stops.

Is this thug seriously suggesting that the fascist TPP will boost the American working class and lead to more American manufacturing?!?!?!

[H. Ross Peron]

Is this thug seriously suggesting that the fascist TPP will boost the American working class?!?!?!

Ignoring the hyperbolic rhetoric, the President acknowledged the necessity of guaranteeing protections for workers in trade agreements.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

But, anyway, I agree with the president that the minimum wage should be increased. I am not watching the state of the union, but I hope he brings up immigration reform. (I'm sure he will)

The proposals in the TPP negotiations suggest otherwise. Look at what he does, not what he says.

Unionization doesn't mean socialism. People support small businesses. People support low prices through free trade. People support entrepreneurship. They don't support handouts for nothing. Agree or not on welfare, that's the truth on what many people think.

You can argue about how taxing the rich to death will stop income inequality (failed in France), but the fact remains that won't help move the middle class/poor move upwards. It begins and ends with education, and collectivization and socialism won't do anything to make people happier if they can't move up the ladder. Education is the key, and it will continue to be until the day the government actually tries to do something to make it better.

Hoping Obama acknowledges nuclear power...

I support free trade (which is not what FTA's are), socialism is compatible with some small private enterprise, and unionism is explicitly meant as a step towards workplace democracy (before it was co-opted by liberals to be a toothless organizing wing of the Democrats). And it's not "handouts", it's redistribution of wealth to counteract the parasitic rich in their theft of labor. The guaranteed minimum income is even advocated by libertarians due to consolidating many existing welfare programs into a simple check handed to every American.

I am so sick of those idiots not believing in climate change. Embarrassing.

He just did now.
