Wow. I don't think you heard anything I said. Complete disconnect

"Well now it turns out standard conservative policy argument number 342-C was right, and we are seeing the result. Except the democrates who raised the minimum wage are either "

I don't see how you get from minimum wage to outsourcing. Even the 80's and 90's outsourcing wasn't minimum wage jobs. This is a complete non sequiter.

"Bush gives another tax cut to big busness! HISS BOOO! BUSH EVIL! BUSH EVIL!" And you and Bowser would still be sitting there complaining that the guy is destroying America. I'm telling you, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, and times another time around for everything else.
"

I think you have nothing to say, and very little to listen to because of 2-dimensional generalizations/trivializations like this. Are you here to debate or masturbate? Do you read me and Bowser just to feel righteously indignant and look for a snappy trivialization that can lead to an easy comeback, or are you actually reading to hear what we have to say? And spare me the predicted response to this. Lets not and say you did and then skip to where you say something interesting and not scripted.

Sayeth Justin: "Sure, we could cut taxes, but that would mean killing grandma! You don't want to kill grandma, now do you! See! I rest my case! "

Wow, the standard democratic scare the elderly into supporting a raise in taxes. Are you sure you meant to post that? That hurts the other side more than me.

The point was to associate your false dichotomy with a false dichotomy from the 'bad guys' of your world- one you would both recognize and dislike. It was a rhetorical technique, Justin...
