re: 15 basic common sense questions that liberals have no answers for

Common defense.
Pretty much
However military spending needs to be cut drastically.
More than just military spending!
This is a common knee-jerk, "dittohead" reply to the question of government taxes and, therefore, expenditures: "defense only".
Without understanding that, without the federal government, there would be:
- no personal computers (government funded the original computers, plus all the following developments INCLUDING those necessary for the Space Race, including the transistor);
- no internet (ARPAnet);
- no first-world economy (depending upon transportation infrastructure: no Eisenhower Interstate Highway System for goods transport, arguably no First Transcontinental Railroad which was built upon government-subsidized lands);
It is always ironic - no, almost comical - how people who rail against progressivism do so on the INTERNET, which wouldn't even exist without progressive thought. If these people are so conservative, and against progressivism, why aren't they going home to their candlelit log homes, from their candlelit church vigils, to meet their arranged-marriage wives who sleep in another room? Why aren't they Mennonites if they hate progressivism so much??
Oh, wait, that's right: they LIKE progressive things like electricity, cell phones, television, computers and the internet - they just want to tell people what to do in regards to everything else.

Bull. Asking redundant questions with known answers that you just CHOOSE to ignore only makes you look foolish, rather than the other side not knowing anything.

3- If women do the same job for less money, why do companies hire men to do the same job for more money?
I like this one the best because it is logically sound and will be met with "but but but"
It is NOT logically sound, you (and people like you) are simply too weak-minded to understand the answer.
Companies hire men for the job because they MUST. The workforce, statistically, has more men than women. For example, according to the government (dol.gov), [only] 26% of the workforce in mathematics and computers are women. So a company, in order to fill the necessary job slots, MUST hire men.
The women are the statistical minority. Therefore they are either hired as part of an affirmative action program, after the more available men are hired, or simply in lower numbers because of their 1:3 ratio of availability. AND, therefore, since they represent a minority of workers in the vast majority of male-dominated fields...THEY CAN GET PAID LESS.
See? If you hadn't locked your mind into a single train of thought, the answer *is* actually quite logical. But you couldn't handle the truth.
