Me either. We are normal adults who aren't terrified of words and scary catch phrase boogeymen.
Because a lot of what he suggested was a terrible idea and/or illegalTrump's an AMAZING guy! First person in history where no one in his administration would listen to him,
Because a lot of what he wanted was a terrible idea and/or illegalno one in congress would do what he wanted,
never happened.everyone in DC spied on his every move,
When he broke the law, his would be accomplices decided they couldn't trust him.snitched on him,
Yeah...instead of going along with the ideas that were bad and/or illegalratted him out
never happened.and wiretapped him,
Its easy to be a thug. That is why the prisons are full of thugs. Is this really news to you? You said you were an "expert witness"...do you really not know anything about the judicial system?yet despite all that, he somehow
still managed to
be a
THUG.
Sounds like you've already smoked a ton of whatever you imagine the OP is smoking....Quick, I want whatever the OP is smoking.![]()
As opposed to the right wing loons who think some bearded guy on a cloud decides their fate.Democrats are physiological adults with the minds of children. That pretty much explains the innocene and naiveve they exhibit on nearly every issue. ”Free” this and “free” that, nobody, including our enemies, would ever do things to hurt us, etc, etc, etc. A ”free” pizza Friday program would win that electorate. Maybe restaurants could start a ”kids and Democrats eat free, with every adult purchase” program.
But, back to the point. Do you also believe that taxes are meant to be a form of wealth redistribution?

joe how did voting third party help trump?...
put better candidates up joe....when you are at the bottom rung of the ladder looking for people to run....you get people like hillary,trump,biden and harris.....If you just took commie Jill Stein's votes and added them to Hillary's, she'd have not only won MI, WI, and PA, but maybe FL and AZ as well.
Instead we had a lot of pompous people who voted for Commie Jill and Dope-Smoking Gary because "Well, Hillary has this in the bag, but I don't like her because she's an assertive woman! So I'll vote third party to show I'm special. It's not like the country is going to vote for Trump or anything."
And four years later, we had 1 million Covid deaths, riots in the streets, and 15% unemployment. But don't worry, that can't happen again.
Oh, do shut up.put better candidates up joe....when you are at the bottom rung of the ladder looking for people to run....you get people like hillary,trump,biden and harris.....
sorry joe to many people did not like her....remember what you said about trump making people not like him?....same thing here....Oh, do shut up.
Hillary was a perfectly fine candidate, other than the misogynists who have been screaming about her since 1992 were upset she dared to have an opinion and a vagina.
I'm sorry that you can't follow simple logic, Comic-book boy.sorry joe to many people did not like her....remember what you said about trump making people not like him?....same thing here....
If you're one of the many (like me) who thinks that much of America's Christian population has sold its soul to a con man, here's a really interesting interview -- and one really fascinating point.
Tim Alberta is a devout Christian who has been so troubled by this that he has written a book on the topic. The interview is almost 36 minutes, but there is one moment where I think he makes a very interesting (and even fair, kind of) point. This doesn't absolve the obvious dishonesty and rank hypocrisy that we see, but at least it explains it in a way:
At 11:46: "For a lot of these people who are panicked, who are just stricken with fear about the culture changing so quickly and the country turning on Christianity, and that their faith is in the crosshairs and one day they're going to be persecuted for their faith in this country -- a lot of folks believe that -- they think the barbarians are at the gates, and so they need a barbarian to defend them. To protect them.
"And so, they look at Trump, and the behavior and the rhetoric, and in some sense, because he is not bound by biblical teachings, not bound by biblical virtues, he is free to fight for them in ways that no good Christian ever would".
Holy crap, that's interesting. MAGA followers by and large and not very good at articulating their reasoning, and he does a very good job here. Again, it doesn't explain away many of the behaviors, but at least there is some reasoning here to grab on to.
You sound like a moron. You get that, right? In normal, educated company, you would not be lobbing zingers. You would be embarrassing yourself as being low IQ.Democrats are physiological adults with the minds of children.
Funny considering the flag you are sporting.As opposed to the right wing loons who think some bearded guy on a cloud decides their fate.
oh here comes the names....typical of the die hard party people....I'm sorry that you can't follow simple logic, Comic-book boy.
That's an interesting timeline to use. Big government as we know it didn't really start until the late 1800s. So, from 1787 to about 1890, there were 2 major wars that did cost a lot for their time, but they didn't involve permanent tax increases. Both the Mexican-American War and the Civil War did involve taxes to fund them, but they went away shortly thereafter. The federal government overall had very little administrative overhead up until Progressives started to dramatically grow government. That's the real reason why debt started becoming a problem.No, Debt is caused by not making the rich pay their fair share.
From 1787 to 1980, the National Debt was less than one trillion, despite fighting two World Wars, building an inter-state highway system, having a space program and all the social programs you whine about.
Then some idiot decided that the right were paying too much, the poor dears, and the National Debt tripled in 8 years under Reagan. It went up by another 1.5 Trillion under Bush, another 4 Trillion under Clinton, another 8 Trillion under Bush Jr, and so on until we are 33 Trillion today.
No, Debt is caused by not making the rich pay their fair share.
That's an interesting timeline to use.
It is true that personal tax brackets at the top were very high in the 50s. Corporate taxation was high too. However, it's also worth noting that this was a time when offshoring wasn't so easy. Most of the world was recovering from WW2. The US had a head start in economic growth, because we were one of the few wealthy countries not wartorn. We also had a massive supply of young people and were in the midst of discovering a lot of resources (oil and gas in particular). Conditions were perfect for having high taxation with little fear of tax evasion.MAGA wants to go back to the fifties through the Kennedy assassination before Archie Bunker’s “the coloreds” and “females” got all uppity.
That should include the upper tax brackets going back to the range of 90% which was a way of saying to the wealthy you pay for the defense of the nation that benefits you most while the rest of us fight in the trenches and work the foundries, the mines, the factories, the hospitals, the utilities, the construction of infrastructure etc etc etc.
So let’s go back to the fifties tax brackets until the war on terror and war against Putin to help Ukrainians defend their homeland are all over.
Yes, unless the middle class and lower vote out Republicans who write tax laws that allow such anti/American anti-union oligarchs to benefit their financial empires.If we went back to those taxes today, all you'd see is a mass exodus of wealth.
