Keeping Poor People Poor

The marketplace is NOT friendly to poor people. A lot of them are forced to seek government services because the marketplace does not consider THEIR market good enough for profits. Go to a poor neighborhood and try to find a bank. There isn't any.
Isn't that applicable also in the United States finance industry?

You are making it up as you go along.
There was a time when Christians held absolute power, and were able to stone, boil in oil, rip the tongue out of anyone who dared to disagree with them. Disagree? Christians would kill on mere suspicion. WEll, I know it sucks, but Christians do not have THAT kind of power anymore, and the fantasy world that includes heaven and hell does not seem to impress generations who have been brought up on horror movies with special effects. They know it is all just a made up story. It's a new day, it's a new life, and we are feeling good. AS for the Christians, why don't you complain to your god? Maybe he will listen. And then maybe, he is really on our side. Have you ever thought about that?
You don't need a negotiator..... Then you are not trying to elect a President.... You are trying to elect a Dictator, or even a Messiah....
Thank you for the Biblical lesson. If you don't mind, the rest of us will return to the planet Earth, where we actually live.
It may come as a surprise to you, but abortion is the preferred method of 2nd level birth control (if the first level fails) not only among liberals, but also among concervatives and among Tea Baggers as well. When the choice to be made involves your wife or a daughter, you may very well think differently. Especially if the daughter is pregnant by a black guy.
You betsa. It was also an acceptable form of birth control, in the 20th, the 19th, the 18th and perhaps the 17th century. Before that, the preferred method of getting rid of unwanted pregnancies was to wait for the baby to be born, then expose it to the elements and the wild animals. Abortion is far more benign and moral.
The rights of unborn babies do not trump the rights of the live women in whose body they are being carried. You are asking society, or more specifically, government, to make the choice, taking it away from the hands of the woman in whose body the fetus is being carried. In NO society has the fetus ever being given the same rights as a live born baby. The cases that you mention are decisions of isolated activist judges, not of a government.
