To paraphrase:
”The Democrats are doing the Democrat things! Telling us to turn down our electric blankets. Do you think they make sacrifices? They’re all going to have us over the hill and into the poor house!”

He spoke the perfect truth in less than 3 minutes, than any conservative could speak in 24 hours!
Really? Archie Bunker is your beacon of wisdom for "owning the libs"? LOL
shareNo, silly. You totally missed the point. The words he spoke were in fact truthful, not who said them. Pretend the words came from me: The Democrats are doing the Democrat things! Telling us to turn down our electric blankets. Do you think they make sacrifices? They’re all going to have us over the hill and into the poor house!
I lived those years of the fake oil embargo perpetrated by the fireside peanut farmer from GA. Oh, for sure we fell in line like good little soldiers. Gas rationing with long lines. We were assigned different days in which we were permitted to buy gas. It didn't matter if you drove 200 miles round trip for work. It was the only Christmas in my decades long life Christmas decorations didn’t adorn our streets.
The Dems have done more damage to this country than could ever be imagined. Self reliance is now sinful. Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and going to work is sinful to say so, but it’s OK to stick out your hand and take from others…which is stealing. To demand for the taxpayers to pay YOUR bills is the same as going next door to your neighbor and saying “You are my neighbor so therefore you have to pay my doctor’s bill and my kid’s tuition.” Try it!

Who the hell cares about the budget? We're going to have a country!

44 years of this nonsense...
Yes, it is nonsense. There are people who should not be homeowners. They do better as renters.
Lenders were told unless they qualified more people to own homes they would suffer the wrath of the government or Community Organizers, such as Obama. People who applied didn’t have to give two years of financial info…it was “Can you afford this payment?” “Yes” was the reply. “Great you are now a homeowner!”
Recall the housing crisis of 2007-2009? Which was actually longer as we lived it. For most it began in April of 2006 to 2012. We couldn’t sell. My home was on the market for 6 years! I had to sell my Mom’s home at a severe loss which was unheard of in Florida. So many foreclosures people couldn’t buy.
When we did rid ourselves of the burdens & were debt free we had to jump through hoops to get a loan. All were gun-shy as the saying goes.
To repeat some aren’t homeowner types, just as some aren’t college types. They do better as tradesmen which are in short supply.
BTW, we worked ourselves in steps to acquire our first home. We rented, we purchased a small used mobile home. I worked nights for 4 years in order to save for a down payment. No childcare for the kids except for 1 hr each day until my husband got home. After both were in school I went to days & continued to save most of my tcheck. We did for ourselves without any government help. Used vehicles with constantly working on them. We had it rough, but WE made it.
“You are my neighbor so therefore you have to pay my doctor’s bill and my kid’s tuition.”

Mississippi can talk shit about New Mexico, Alaska, and West Virginia
Explain please. I lived in MS from Dec of 2009 until Dec of 2021. It’s one of the poorest states in the union, but they charge tax on everything, grocery store food, OTC drugs, just everything. It’s no wonder the youngest & brightest are leaving the state. Plus a state income tax.
It appears to me states which tax you to death are the poorest states, but Virginia? That is where all the wealthy from DC live. Looks like DC gets the freebies.
Mississippi charges sales taxes on bread and butter? Seriously?
shareYes! And was I pissed when I moved there! I never dreamed food in the grocery store would be taxed. Plus OTC meds such as aspirin. Here in Florida soft drinks are taxed. If you buy Cranberry Juice it’s NOT TAXED, but if you buy Cranberry Drink it IS TAXED. We don’t tax OTC meds either.
Many, many moons ago I was a cashier using those old timey registers punching keys. We had to know what was taxed & what wasn’t. Many customers became irate “Why is my coke cola taxed, but my orange juice isn’t? I drink both!” My stock answer? “You got me! I think it’s terrible!” That calmed them & they saw me as just another poor slob punching register keys who had no control over it.
I just recalled when a woman asked me, (omgosh 1962, damn I’m old) why her feminine product was taxed. I believe I gave her my stock answer, but added “I guess they figured to only tax unnecessary items?.” Her response? “They don’t think these aren’t necessary?” I didn’t have an answer! LOL!

Run by Republicans and still a dirt shit poor state. You'd think they'd Make It Great Again...
Just because YOU obviously want the words of the FICTIONAL Archie Bunker television character viewed as "truthful" doesn't make them so...
....just as you simply blaming Jimmy Carter and Democrats for the things you've chosen to blame them for doesn't automatically make YOUR words true either.
Quoting Archie Bunker isn't a smart move. He was an ignorant, racist, sexist, narrow-minded meathead.
shareHe was an evolving character that eventually came around to his ignorance, racism, sexism, and narrow-mindedness.
shareAll the characters evolved, but Bunker remained ignorant. His character needed Stivic to showcase his bigotry. Bunker's Place was a different concept which mainly showed Archie's struggle with bringing up two teen girls in which his old-fashioned ideas about girls were present. All in the Family was mainly ideology.
I bailed on Archie's Bunker's Place before cancellation because the writing was bad and it wasn't funny.
