Well child, even the World Health Organization disagreed with you till 26 years ago, and many health professional still do. Hey I got an idea, how about we reorganize society to accommodate nudist, at least they can prove they WERE born that way.

Oh really? And what makes it a mental disorder by today's standards? Many things are no longer considered mental disorders because of prior prejudice. Today's standards are what matters. You calling them fags doesn't mean jack shit and only shows your bigotry.

Still got no balls I see. You pathetic hypocrite.

Wait I'm supposed to justify nudism to you? Nudism has never been considered a mental disorder you dumb shit.

A mental disorder can only be considered a mental disorder if it Causes distress to the individual and/or harms other people.

No, you want to completely reorder society for a minuscule minority who you claim aren't mentally ill, I just asked if your in favor of doing the same for another minority? I mean if faghadist don't have to accept societies definition of marriage, why should nudist have to accept societies definition of modesty and appropriate dress?

Lol what is this "reorder" non sense you are talking about? We are talking about what constitutes mental illness. We are also talking about having respect and maturity for one's sexual preferences that do not cause harm to others. If you cared at all about libertarianism, you wouldn't be the douche bag bigot that you are.

Well dumbass, you want to talk about libertarianism, you seem to forget that you freedom to be you, must include my freedom to be free from you if I disagree with your choices. So don't claim to be a libertarian and demand others accept your choices to the point you try to put them out of business if they chose not to associate with you. And FYI, we never discussed what constitutes mental illness, we only discussed if gays were mentally ill or not. And you still haven't answered my question, stop the dancing and answer the damned question, do you support the right of nudist to live as they chose the way you support gays? If not, why not?

Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.

Slick Willie promised a middle class tax cut and then he raised their taxes once he got in office.
I think she's lying, because that's what Clintons do best.

link to that bs, dupe? I'm guessing he signed a GOP bill at most. As always with this crap. We desperately need a Dem with congress REALLY controlled. Hopefully Trump can deliver.

You don't remember 1993? How old are you?

I'm guessing he signed a GOP bill at most.

Not a single Republican signed his 1993 middle class tax hike. It was a big part of the 1994 Revolution. Dupe.

It was a tax hike on the rich. Tiny tho.
A plan to raise American incomes
Hillary will:
Give working families a raise, and tax relief that helps them manage rising costs.
Create good-paying jobs and get pay rising by investing in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to strengthen our economy and growth.
Close corporate tax loopholes and make the most fortunate pay their fair share.
Hillary believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans.

Too many families are working harder and harder, but still not getting ahead. Our country is standing again, but we’re not yet running the way we should be. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Hillary understands that in order to raise incomes, we need strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. And she has a plan to get us there.
Strong growth
Hillary will invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and scientific and medical research to create jobs and strengthen our economy. And she’ll provide tax relief to working families and small businesses. That’s how we’ll move toward a full employment economy that creates jobs, pushes businesses to compete over workers, and raises incomes.
Strong growth
Provide tax relief for families. Hillary will cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college. She is calling for extending a tax cut of up to $2,500 per student to help deal with college costs as part of her New College Compact, and for cutting taxes for businesses that share profits with their employees.
Unleash small business growth. Hillary’s father owned a small business—and she understands that small businesses are the backbone of jobs and growth in America. She’s put forward a small-business agenda to expand access to capital, provide tax relief, cut red tape, and help small businesses bring their goods to new markets.

Create a New College Compact. Hillary’s New College Compact will invest $350 billion so that students do not have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college in their state. Her plan will also significantly cut interest rates on student loans and enable an estimated 25 million Americans with student debt to refinance at today’s lower rates, saving the typical borrower $2,000 over the life of their loans.

Boost public investment in infrastructure and scientific research. One of the best ways to drive jobs and improve our nation’s competitiveness is to invest in infrastructure and scientific research. Hillary has called for a national infrastructure bank that would leverage public and private funds to invest in projects across the country. She will call for reform that closes corporate tax loopholes and drives investment here, in the U.S. And she would increase funding for scientific research at agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

Lift up participation in the workforce—especially for women. For too long, issues like equal pay, paid leave, and affordable child care have been put off to the side as "women's issues." Hillary believes they are crucial to our competitiveness and growth—and to lifting incomes for working families.
Hillary has a strategy to "Make It in America"—and harness the strength of manufacturing nationwide.

Fair growth
Inequality is a drag on our economy, and to get incomes rising again, we need to renew our country’s basic bargain. With near-record corporate profits and stagnant wages, the deck is stacked against working Americans. If you work hard, you deserve to get ahead and stay ahead.

fair growth 2
Ensure more workers share in near-record corporate profits. Corporate profits are near record highs—but workers have not shared through rising wages. Profit sharing is linked to higher pay, benefits, and productivity. That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.
Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Long-term growth
Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.
Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Yes, another Clinton lying about taxes. Durr.

If you had a clue, you'd be be a liar. The 1993 tax hike was on the rich.

Republicans charge that Clinton promised a middle-class tax cut and delivered a tax increase instead.

True.

And almost two-thirds (63 percent) of the projected revenues in Clinton's tax increase hit high-income couples (over $140,000 a year) and individuals (over $115,000). Most of this came from an increase in the top income-tax rate. Another 15 percent of Clinton's revenue came from tax increases on business

I guess the other 22% was on the middle class. A hike, instead of a cut.

Clinton also reduced the income-tax exclusion for Social Security payments to retirees with incomes above $44,000 per couple ($34,000 for individuals). Whether increasing the portion of a government benefit check that the government reclaims in taxes amounts to a payment reduction or a tax increase is another metaphysical question. So is the issue of whether a couple earning $44,000--about one-and-a-half times the median family income--in retirement counts as "affluent."

Metaphysical question? Kiss my ass.
Clinton raised taxes on poor retired couples making as little as $44,000 a year.
Middle class tax hike you silly twat.

A median of 18k is pathetic. And I suppose it's all because of all Obama's policies and laws, which the dupes pontificate about, but can't identify- mainly because of total GOP obstruction all of his administration. The New BS GOP and its dupes are a disgrace.

Calculating a median in that way is pathetic.

Tell us some more about the 1% middle class. ..Do you even understand what you posted?

William - "Americans (median)" - just hopeless. Americans are not the median American in the income distribution.

All income and wealth distributions are power law or steep peak, long level tail distributed, and have been everywhere in the world for as long as statistics in the matter have existed. The median in such distributions only characterizes the right tail. 85% of income in the US occurs above the median. That means most of what everyone relies on to live was earned by someone well above the median. The reality is the *mean* accurately reflects what happens with the American middle class. The median only reflects the status of the working poor. This happens because the median - count by noses - includes plenty of people only marginally part of the income distribution to begin with - part time, summer workers, students, retirees filing for their investment income and so forth.

The mean is a good approximation to the middle class, because the segment of the population with incomes between $50,000 and $200,000 per year (by IRS filing) has half of all income and is about half of all filers. The mean is therefore not misleading for this set. The 5% above the upper line there have over 30% of all income and the 50% below the lower line there have less than 20% of all income. When journalist pretend the median is "normal" or is "everyone", they are therefore picking a line that is only at 40% of mean income and pretending everyone falls there. It is just statistical malpractice to characterized a power law distribution by its median.

Dude, where's my rate hike? Financials tumble post-jobs

This guy, Jason Cawley, does a much better job explaining it than I could.
I don't expect you to understand, you're not very bright.

Except your boy's esoteric take on what the middle class is, is not how it's done. It's not real world, it's fantasy.

Median has a meaning as a word as does mean. No one gets to rearrange them and redefine how they are used.

There is a point where 50% make more and 50% make less. That is the median. That's where the middle class lives and has always lived. Hence the moniker, middle class.

Only a moron would assert that a person earning a wage in the 99th percentile is a member of the middle class.

Huh?

The premise behind the far left in saying "the middle class" is they refer to union jobs only. To them the unions jobs are the middle class..

Is that right?

Yes for the far left..

"The middle class" unions are the bread and butter for the DNC coffers..

Well how about you give us your definition of the middle class as a baseline to show the discrepancies you claim.

And you just proved my point that the far left sees "the middle class" as union jobs only!

WTF?

Another reason why this thread is a failure is because Candai is mostly white:

So it just goes to show that a socialist system will work when white people are the over whelming majority!

So proves once again that the far left are the true racists!

Ok, so it's the non-whites fault, again?

And once again the far left drones do not how to make real comparisons, other than through the far left religious scriptures.

As A Part Of The 1993 Budget, Bill Clinton Signed Into Law A $241 Billion Tax Hike. "Mr. Clinton and his supporters in Congress stressed that 80 percent of the new taxes would be paid by taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 and that 90 percent would be paid by those with incomes above $100,000.

Instead of a middle class tax cut, he raised taxes, even on those making less than $100,000 and also taxed poor old retired people on Social Security.

That was our first clue what lying scumbags the Clintons were.

That’s why Hillary’s plan creates a 15 percent tax credit for companies that share profits with workers on top of wages and pay increases.

Raising the minimum wage and strengthening overtime rules. Hillary believes we are long overdue in raising the minimum wage. She has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further than the federal minimum through state and local efforts, and workers organizing and bargaining for higher wages, such as the Fight for 15 and recent efforts in Los Angeles and New York to raise their minimum wage to $15. She also supports the Obama administration’s expansion of overtime rules to millions more workers.

Reform our tax code so the wealthiest pay their fair share. Hillary supports ending the “carried interest” loophole, enacting the “Buffett Rule” that ensures no millionaire pays a lower effective tax rate than their secretary, and closing tax loopholes and expenditures that benefit the wealthiest taxpayers to pay for her plan to make college affordable and refinance student debt.

Expand early learning. Hillary’s proposal would work to ensure that every 4-year-old in America has access to high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.
Long-term growth

It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street.

Long-term growth
Put an end to “quarterly capitalism.” We need an economy where companies plan for the long run and invest in their workers through increased wages and better training—leading to higher productivity, better service, and larger profits. Hillary will revamp the capital gains tax to reward farsighted investments that create jobs. She’ll address the rising influence of the kinds of so-called “activist” shareholders that focus on short-term profits at the expense of long-term growth, and she’ll reform executive compensation to better align the interests of executives with long-term value.
Impose accountability on Wall Street. Nowhere will the shift from short-term to long-term thinking be more important than on Wall Street. Hillary will defend the Wall Street reforms put in place after the financial crisis—and she’ll go further. She’ll tackle dangerous risks in the financial sector, and she’ll appoint and empower tough, independent regulators and prosecute individuals and firms when they commit fraud or other criminal wrong-doing.

Yes, another Clinton lying about taxes. Durr.

If you had a clue, you'd be be a liar. The 1993 tax hike was on the rich.
A plan to raise American incomes

As A Part Of The 1993 Budget, Bill Clinton Signed Into Law A $241 Billion Tax Hike. "Mr. Clinton and his supporters in Congress stressed that 80 percent of the new taxes would be paid by taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 and that 90 percent would be paid by those with incomes above $100,000.

Instead of a middle class tax cut, he raised taxes, even on those making less than $100,000 and also taxed poor old retired people on Social Security.

That was our first clue what lying scumbags the Clintons were.

"Only tax that affected the MC was the one on gasoline".

And those poor, retired couples making $44,000.....they were rich?
And all the taxpayers making $100,000 and less.....rich bastards too?

Oh really? And what makes it a mental disorder by today's standards? Many things are no longer considered mental disorders because of prior prejudice. Today's standards are what matters. You calling them fags doesn't mean jack shit and only shows your bigotry.

Still got no balls I see. You pathetic hypocrite.

Wait I'm supposed to justify nudism to you? Nudism has never been considered a mental disorder you dumb shit.

A mental disorder can only be considered a mental disorder if it Causes distress to the individual and/or harms other people.

No, you want to completely reorder society for a minuscule minority who you claim aren't mentally ill, I just asked if your in favor of doing the same for another minority? I mean if faghadist don't have to accept societies definition of marriage, why should nudist have to accept societies definition of modesty and appropriate dress?

Lol what is this "reorder" non sense you are talking about? We are talking about what constitutes mental illness. We are also talking about having respect and maturity for one's sexual preferences that do not cause harm to others. If you cared at all about libertarianism, you wouldn't be the douche bag bigot that you are.

Well dumbass, you want to talk about libertarianism, you seem to forget that you freedom to be you, must include my freedom to be free from you if I disagree with your choices. So don't claim to be a libertarian and demand others accept your choices to the point you try to put them out of business if they chose not to associate with you. And FYI, we never discussed what constitutes mental illness, we only discussed if gays were mentally ill or not. And you still haven't answered my question, stop the dancing and answer the damned question, do you support the right of nudist to live as they chose the way you support gays? If not, why not?

Nudists can obviously be nudists if they want to be. The problem is the distress of the public around them isn't it? Because it affects others, there must be limitations to where they can be nude.

Comparing it to gay people is so dumb. Like straight couples, sex and nudity of gay couples is not permitted in public. Sex behind closed doors between consenting adults should have no exceptions, don't you think? How about you act like an adult and leave behind this junior high mentality about gay people?

Face it, you're just wrong again. Hardly a huge hike on the MC like you SAID, dupe. Ay caramba.
