Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 10, 2015

Since they aren’t ordering anything, Flo, why don’t you just throw them out?

I’ve heard that the biggest tippers always win.

Applied liberally, the strategy seems to work.

Talking about Democrats again, I see.

Flo, let’s just call it entertainment. Watching a once commonsense political party self destruct as their chickens come home to roost is kinda cool…

The only racists are the democrats. They are always trying to divide people into small groups and then say they are the only ones able to unite everyone.

You should turn off Fox “news” once in while.

A gotcha moment. What we have known all along. Playing as lowest as it will take. Any means necessary.

Political races are a little like The Emperor’s New Clothes.

What party is it that tries to suppress the minority vote by drawing gerrymanders that would make the original Gov. Elbridge Gerry (who devised voting districts that looked like salamanders, which one wag dubbed “Gerrymanders”) proud indeed?

Muh granpappy voted for ‘em so they gotta be right…forever.Can’t anyone think for themselves or is everyone a houyhnhnm?

Hell-o third world…

“…..The democrats won’t debate whatsoever.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wow — you sound like a real expert!

Of course we knew that Trump is both mentally and morally defective, but who knew it was contagious?

“racism and mysogyny….

that is the clinton campaign mantra"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You do realize, I hope, that Hillary is a woman.I suggest you get your dictionary and discover the meaning of the words you’re using.

Give them 15 minutes debating with Captain Eddy and they’ll leave.

The problem is, Captain Eddie makes more sense than anyone else I’ve seen running.

Misogyny and racism are always campaign issues. These guys are looking for money to spend on a lost cause.

A 5% tip may have been what was in their pockets at the time. A lot of people now days don’t know what a % is and couldn’t figure a simple 10% let alone 15%. They probably didn’t try to figure a decent tip cause they couldn’t. Just saying.

Gokie5It was the lege, Gerry opposed it but didn’t prevail. It was named after him to deflect blame – much like this discussion.

Well played sir, well played!

I think Wiley has nailed it with this thread.

Wiley, I guess you have made all the money you’ll need for the rest of your life. Otherwise why would you alienate 50% of your readers. I am a registered Independent but if I agree with some of the views made by some of the Republican candidates then that makes me a"racist and a misogynist and a fear monger". I have been putting up with this name calling and accusations because I happen to be white since I graduated from high school 50 years ago. I used to really enjoy your strip. But i am tired of this Wiley, really, really tired. So I will miss reading you but as of now I am done with you just like I quit Doonesbury. And if you think I suffer from “white privilege”, get in touch with me and we can have a detailed conversation about my life history.

I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.Did you mean to say that if the government didn’t force inflation by increasing their budgets by a percentage every year that the $7.25 minimum wage would be equivalent to making $44K per year?You know… I had always suspected that. But without inflation, how can we cut Social Security and other guaranteed entitlements? How can we tax people’s savings?

Night-Gaunt, you must have misread me….It’s the republican party that is being despoiled. There is not one republican that dares to disagree with Trump for any reason..They are all scared of him…Now they all will be stained by his racism, and misogyny. There are only 2 reasons to not stand up to his crazy statements…..You believe the same things he does, or you are a coward….I’m enjoying the republican bickering, they are saying things and acting like 4th graders, and I hope the whole thing just crumbles… And look at the candidates on the other side, Clinton, Sanders, and maybe even Biden: every one of them more experienced and intelligent than all of the republican candidates put together…And they all have commonsense…Can’t say that about the repubs

The 1%ers want Their Slaves Back..That’s the real problem with the country..T-Rump wants to “Make America White Again” and Faux Nooze (And all the Other Networks) keep giving him Millions of dollars worth of FREE Airtime.No wonder he seems to be Leading..1/2 the voters out there don’t realize anyone but T-Rump is even Running..

The combined wealth of the rich is what we call investments.Those investments are what maintain what we call the market.The market would collapse, along with our entire economy, if we forced liquidation for the purpose of taxation.It isn’t real money until it is liquidated.As soon as you begin liquidation, the remainder of the invested money deflates rather quickly, and the whole system crashes.If you took all of the wealth from all of the wealthy and applied it to the uses of government, it would keep the government funded for as long as eighteen months, although there wouldn’t be any economy to speak of, and you could never extract all the wealth intact.As stated above, once you extract any significant portion from the market, the remainder depreciates sharply.The destruction of the economy is required then, for the implementation of a new fair and just system of wealth distribution that takes all wealth from all people and distributes it according to the whims of a tyrannical benevolent central command and control humanitarian structure.
