I Feel Sorry For Democrats

[Ray From Cleveland]

Still have no defense at all for the crazed policies put forth last night by Bernie and Hillary. I do feel sorry for you. No I don't! Screw you.

Who knows what you're smoking?

For example.... Democrats are running on raising taxes.

Republicans are running on cutting taxes. Ridiculously, to as low as 10-15% for everyone.

Which policy does America prefer?

In general, would you favor or oppose increasing taxes on wealthy Americans and large corporations in order to help reduce income inequality in the U.S.?

Favor: 63%
Oppose: 31%

Budget/Taxes​

Of course I believe in cutting taxes. I actually prefer Ted Cruz's flat tax plan. Increasing taxes on corporations will only send more of them out of the country, stifle job growth, and limit the return on a whole lot of elderly people's investment income, the investments of American workers, and stifle the overall economy.

I could care less about your so-called income equality. If you want more income, work for it.

Who cares what you believe? By a factor of 2 to 1, those polled favor Democrat policies of raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations.

Once again, the right, and not the left, are on the wrong side of the issue.

That may be possible. After all, when you rob Peter to pay Paul, the Paul's of your society generally have no objection.

Taxes are robbery now.

They always were.

Let's say we have a vote right here and now. We vote to take your money to give to the rest of us. You call that an accomplishment?

Better yet, let's say people in America pay the cost to live in America. That's not robbery. No one is forcing you to live here.

The problem is half of our country is not paying. In fact, the top 10% of wage earners in this country pay close to 70% of all collected income taxes.

If 70% is not enough for them to pay, then what is?

 

[SAYIT]

I believe there were similar results before Republicans expanded their leadership in Congress and took leadership of the Senate as well.

Dems here are increasingly whistling past the graveyard.

The electoral results since 2010 - a direct reflection of Obama's "leadership" - have been catastrophic for the Dems. They have lost seats in State and Federal legislatures as well as governorships. Both 2014 and 2015 elections were bloodbaths and virtually every Dem that didn't manage to distance himself/herself from the Prez and his policies lost.

If the Repubs nominate an electable candidate the trend should continue in 2016 as it will be difficult to stop or turn a Dem careening ship on a dime (see: Titanic).

Unfortunately Repubs haven't exactly exhibited "leadership" in the House and Senate despite their majorities.

You said paying taxes is "robbery." Are you saying now it's only robbery depending on who pays taxes? Roughly 1/3 of people in the U.S. don't work and don't pay income tax. The vast majority of folks pay taxes as most states charge sales tax. Some pay more than others.

The beautiful thing about politics in the U.S. is that it swings like a pendulum. The left won in 2008; the right won in 2010; the left won in 2012; the right won in 2014. Who will win in 2016 remains to be seen.

 

[bodecea]

From Americans.

And give it to whom? Republicans??

Doubtful.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job?

Approve: 12%
Disapprove: 83%

Congress: Republicans​

How about global warming?

Which statement comes closest to your view about global warming? Global warming is caused mostly by human activity such as burning fossil fuels. Global warming is caused mostly by natural patterns in the earth's environment. OR, Global warming does not exist

Mostly human activity: 51%
Mostly natural patterns: 29%
It does not exist: 9%
Caused by both: 5%
Unsure: 5%

Environment​

Once again, we see it's the right, and not the left, who are on the wrong side of the issue.

Are you writing a book or something? Still have zero to support your candidates from the debate last night? Pathetic.

Stop drinking. I've already shown you two policies a majority favor what the left is proposing, not the idiocies espoused by the loony clowns on the right.

Let me repeat slowly for you: F O O L

You needn't sign your posts.

It is INEPTOCRACY and we are slip-sliding away. It is the direct result of the eat-the-rich nature of American Dems.

INEPTOCRACY - (Noun) a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or even try are rewarded - in exchange for their votes - with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Better yet, let's say people in America pay the cost to live in America. That's not robbery. No one is forcing you to live here.

You will get crickets. No leftist will say they want "the rich" to carry the entire load but that is surely what they promote.

The fact is the top 25% currently pay 86% of all federal personal income taxes.

Except for the fact there are few times in our history where a candidate from a two-term President of the same party ever won an election.

What does our elections show? It shows that people liked DumBama on a personal basis, but hated his policies. Hillary is not very well liked on a personal level. Good luck!

Our government goodies don't come from FICA, State taxes, City taxes and so on. Nearly your entire social program system is out of federal income taxes, just like our military is from federal income taxes, and roads, and bridges and.......

And you're wrong about one-third. Nearly half of Americans pay no federal income taxes. In essence, one half of our country is supporting the other half. Yet when you complain about who's paying what, you want the half that is paying to pay even more.

The point remains that 49% of all American filers pay no federal personal income tax while the top 25% carry 86% of that load.

As currently configured, state and sales taxes do not cover any of the federal budget and, as already noted, neither do the bottom 49% of American earners.

So what % should "the rich" be made to carry?

96%?

106%?

 

[FA_Q2]

You are counting your chickens before they have hatched.

The right has a bad habit of doing that .
Romney did and look how that turned out.

Everyone has a bad habit of doing that. The right is only in focus because they lost to Obama. Go back to Bush and you would have the exact same statements on the left.

By all means, go back to Bush, maybe Lincoln, maybe Carter, then JFK, then George Washington. Try to focus the attention on anyone except your current candidates. LOL!!

Did you even follow the conversation?

It appears that you have no idea what we were talking about.

Correct but look at who we are facing! The top candidate for the Democrats is one of those one-percenters who is under investigation by the FBI. She's not well liked, and that helps our position.

Faun has fudged the issue a bit. It isn't that half of all Americans pay no federal income tax but rather that 49% of all earners - those filing tax returns - pay none.

[FA_Q2]

Just how many of these desperate weepy threads are you going to make?

By the way, thanks for the votes. People look at bedwetters like you and don't want to be associated with anything you have to do with.

Scared??? You should be. We're going to take this country back.

Take it back from who?

From Americans.

And give it to whom? Republicans??

Doubtful.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job?

Approve: 12%
Disapprove: 83%

Congress: Republicans​

And why do you think that matters?

Legislators enjoy an 80%+ reelection rate. They have hovered around that approval rating for a decade. IOW, that particular figure is utterly meaningless. It is, essentially, an outright lie by those taking the poll.

I see the potential for a bright, youthful, Hispanic Floridian paired with a geographic or demographic VP candidate to cut sharply into the traditional Dem base and could win swing states like Florida and Ohio.

He would be facing an old, white Dem.
Just sayin'.

The top candidates are always one percenters. It is interesting how much the left claims to hate one percenters and yet votes for those same rich one percenters. Of course one of the common charges against Trump is that he is a one percenter.
