I was tempted to reply to that one but I figured it should play out so maybe it would draw Shawnee out...
I don't think that is what happend to him, but I find it hallarious PowerStroker would make that connection! If he did visit the capital he sure didn't post any photos in here! LOL

Business DEBT you say? With as many customers as you claim to have, and with as long as you've been doing this, I would have expected to not see any red ink on your business balance sheet. So basically you want all business profits to flow from your business to your person, but all business debts to flow from your person to your business, because this would be "a step in the right direction for the business." This is like saying that to saddle an entire generation of kids with education debt, would be a "step in the right direction for a generation of kids." Essentially you want all of the money and none of the liability? Your love of Trump suddenly makes a lot more sense. He has apparently been your life long role model, except that he had the advantage of inheriting hundreds of millions of dollars from his daddy so...
Your diagnoisis is actually quite simple though, and is idental to the diagnosis of Trump: False sense of entitlement.
Luckily, the treatment is simple too. It involves steadily weaning yourself from the government's teat. Eventually you won't even miss it, and you'll be able to wear big boy pants and take personal responsibility like the rest of us. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My company is not living off the Government teat! It's FORD and it's employees who borrowed $6,000,000,000 (billion) from the Government who are living off the Government teat! And all of Fords employees who collected unemployment for the past two years!
If this is a famous quote by PowerStroker it's only because he's so full of shit!

I think the quote numbering got messed up. How did we go from the 120's to the 70's?
Good question, but I've been able to edit & update...Possibly I messed-up from jumping from SELLC's thread to this one...

I'm curious about what violation you are suing them for. Are they legally obligated to lend you money or something ?

Do you remember how when Romney and Trump ran for president, you praised them because you believed that running the country like a business would be a good thing ?
The reason you were declined ( gov't EIDL loan ), and will continue to be declined, is because your business doesn't employ enough people to adversely effect the economy if it fails.
*Therefore, putting taxpayers on the hook to secure a loan for you doesn't make any sense.
Essentially, Biden is running this like a business, just the way you wanted Romney and Trump to.
And actually, if your business does fail, it will free up an employee to be hired by a bigger business, thereby slightly alleviating the labor shortage and helping to keep wages in check the way you like.

Nobody LIKES paying their own bills... It's why he's whining about it, and why you're trying to get the taxpayers to back a loan for you. But in the end he will take personal responsibility, and so will you.

If you want our politicians to be responsive to the regular working class guy, then we need to make it illegal for them to be bribed by special interests. We need to get money out of politics, otherwise our politics will never work for anyone who doesn't have money.
There is only 1 major political party that largely agrees with this, and has made efforts to remove money from politics, the Democratic party. Democrats have time and again passed legislation limiting the extent to which large corporate donors can influence our politics, and then, a conservative majority on the Supreme Court blew it all up and ruled that that to bribe a politician is simply an expression of "free speech" and perfectly legal. Most recently they did this in the Citizens United case.
So, if you are disappointed by how unresponsive politicians have become to your plight, I would suggest taking stock of the history on the subject, figure out who you should actually be angry at by a source other than right wing media, and vote accordingly.

I thought with all post made by PowerStroker why not have a thread to polarize his crazy wild eyed statements without having to hi-jack the original posters thread. While we do appreciate all the hard work PowerStroker gives this forum, this one is for fun and all for PowerStroker.
#28 - If you get Mesothelioma call the Law offices of James Sokolove
#29 - If your junky old Mercedes takes a shit, call the ambulance chasers at Auto Trend
#30 - I'm glad we see eye to eye on something
#31 - Old Mercedes were full of Asbestos
Geez... I knew I shouldn't have used them old floor tiles from the 50's in my Mercedes resto!
Actually post #139 was some good advice, and one of the first times I felt like PowerStroker was genuinely concerned about my ignorance - in matters of old flooring tile.
Even though I know he got a rise out of breaking the bad news to me, he didn't just stand there and savor in the knowledge and not mention it!
Anger, fear, aggression, the dark side are these. Do not give into hate, or suffer Trump's fate you will. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It used to be a household with a single employed person could not only support the entire family, and put the kids through college, but they probably had a lake cabin up north too and took regular vacations.
And then Reagan came in.

LOL ! I even had to get the dictionary out ! ( And I couldn't find the word, I had to search the net ). Perfect fit however PowerStroker !
*Bloviating is an often used term for someone who is speaking for a long period of time and is perceived to not be saying anything meaningful. It is primarily used in a political setting, often to describe a politician going on a tangent and exhausting the attention span of their audience.
