Both are income taxes, one on individuals and one on corporations and are both part of the republican 2020 tax cut. You may want to restrict the subject to individual income taxes but the subject of the thread is "Republicans are offering Americans nothing, literally nothing."Irrelevant to individual income taxes, which is the subject.
Judging by your squirming, spinning, and dodging, it can be safely presumed you do in fact know the difference, and are just lying like every other liberioidal hack when confronted with the truth.
Horseshit, fucking liar.Both are income taxes, one on individuals and one on corporations and are both part of the republican 2020 tax cut.

The white flag was raised many decades ago. We have been duped for that long as using Saudi oil as a backing for our fiat currency. We have gotten poorer and poorer and when we produced all the oil we needed and to sell the rest overseas it actually helped us. Fracking saved our asses.
The Republicans did offer to take my money for campaign season.If you were asked to name one substantive policy or initiative passed by Republicans during 2016-2018, the last time they held sway in the House, Senate and Executive Branch, the only answer would be their huge tax giveaway to the nation’s corporations and wealthiest individuals in 2017. Tax cuts for the very rich — and by “rich,” we are talking about the wealthiest 1% of all Americans — have been the singular foundation of all GOP policy for the past five decades. All of the noise and histrionics about so-called social issues (abortion, immigration, gun ownership) has simply been a useful vehicle to accomplish that solitary imperative: cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Conversely, any policy or effort by Democrats to legislate benefiting the remaining 99% of the American population has been met with stiff and unyielding opposition.
But on the very rare occasions when Republican candidates for office are required to articulate exactly what their policies would be if elected, that dominant, exclusive goal of tax cuts for corporations and the nation’s uber-wealthy is oddly never mentioned. Instead, we are treated to a seemingly never-ending litany of imagined Democratic evils and appeals to voters’ base fears and grievances (which for the most part boil down to racism and xenophobia). When a Republican candidate loudly declares we must “Close the borders,” for example, he’s not talking about denying Texas businesses the 1.1 million undocumented workers those same businesses eagerly hire to reduce their operating costs and obligations to pay a living wage to their employees. Because that would swiftly wipe out Texas’s service, agricultural and construction economy which, along with the economies of most Southwestern states, relies on exploiting those undocumented workers so its businesses can stay afloat. In this way “immigration” simply serves as a shiny object for their voters to angrily focus on while Republicans drain the nation’s treasury for the benefit of their corporate donor base.
Beyond the “close the border” tripe (and fearmongering about guns and abortion, hot-button topics trotted out in service of the same end goal of gutting corporate taxes) what exactly do Republicans have to offer Americans that will actually, tangibly make their lives better? The answer is: literally nothing.
Republicans are offering Americans nothing—literally, nothing

You don't expect the 1% to pay taxes on those inflationary prices they're charging do you?

Neither republicans nor democrats can give Americans what they want right now and that's lower prices. The only way that is going to happen is for the FED to continue raising interest rates over the coming months until the economy chokes and begins to contract. Then we will see lower inflation and not until thin.Republicans AND Democrats are offering America nothing right now.
The FPTP system means they need to attract 50% of the voters at the very least. In order to do this they need wishy washy politics for the most part. Both sides have their core politics, but usually things that people in the middle aren't that interested in on a short term "who should I vote for now?" basis. Like guns and abortion.
Time for Proportional Representation.

Gas prices are high due three factors. Millions of barrels a day of Russia oil is no longer flowing into the international oil market. Demand for oil has increased significantly following the pandemic. OPEC is now cutting back production about 3%, fearing a global recession is coming. As US economy contracts so will other major economies leading to lower demand for oil and that will gas prices down.
One fantastic thing they have to offer is not Biden.
Best damn post on this thread.
The op after seeing this truthful post has shit on his face in embassassment.

Amen .But to do that, we'd have to get rid of all the democrats.
He is not a duck . ihaha well taking away the illegal healthcare punishment. was one thing, but sadly they couldn’t undo all the cost obamacare gave us

A Boom and Bust economy is inevitable in capitalist business environments. Presidents will always bear the responsible of all that is good and bad that occurs during their term in office and most of the time they are not responsible for either. Biden is not responsible for the inflation just as Trump was not responsible for Covid.I think, for a longer term perspective (which the US system is not very good at), is that the US has boom and bust, and it's always going to have boom and bust and whoever is in power when the bust happens will take the blame and whoever is in power when the boom happens will take the credit (Trump being the example claiming before he'd even been President that he was responsible for the boom in early 2017).
And oil is a problem, will the US go a-warring again to control the oil prices like it did under Bush/Obama?

The US can't bring oil prices down because the oil companies do not want to drill massive numbers of new wells which would come online in a year or so, with a recession in the US and the likelihood that it would spread globally. This coupled with the fact that millions of barrels of Russian oil could be back on the market before those wells were up and running. OIl prices will come down when demand falls do to global economic slowdowns. Till then it will remain high.

Boom and bust is inevitable, but the severity of it is not. However the rich are constantly pushing for boom and bust because that's how they get rich. What with 7 million poor people losing their homes in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, for example.
That has always been a problem with a boom and bust economy. The best way to handle it is mitigation by the FED to keep the economy from overheating, and regulation of business activities that lead to crashes. The wealthy hate this because it curtails bull markets and over expansions in business. The alternative is to provide support for families when the bust comes. The wealthy of course hates that too become it makes future tax hikes more likely.Boom and bust is inevitable, but the severity of it is not.
