Republicans like to think they understand the concept of “free shit” but actually don’t

A tax on trades. Okay, now what do you suppose the result of that will be?

Better access to higher education.

Talking myopically again. So let me explain what would happen. If you tax trades, less people will be trading. When that happens, the market slows down in growth or drops. When that happens, companies have less money to invest. When that happens, less people are working. When that happens, the economy turns negative. When that happens, people end up on social programs which cost all of us money.

No, less people will not be trading. What are they going to do? Put their money in the bank and make .05%?

Do you think those are the only investments out there? There are bonds, real estate, commodities, and that's just in this country alone.

You people won't face reality because of what the left tells you. There is a philosophy called Action/ Reaction. It's not just a philosophy, but a history of actually working. Don't believe this crap from the Socialists or Democrats that say when you take money from the rich man, he just takes his thumb and holds his pockets open for you to help yourself. That's a leftist lie. It doesn't work like that.

Who is it "actually working" that is creating the billions and billions the Fed is creating out of nothing?

People who work, that's who. When that spending boosts the economy, more people go to work. When more people are working, they buy more stuff. When that happens, you have an economy like we are experiencing today. When more people are working, more people are paying taxes.
 
Why would China be paying for our military? Why isn't China paying for our food stamps, our HUD program, our Medicaid program, our ObamaCare program? Why is it our children never pay for these things, but will be stuck with the bill for items Democrats hate like tax cuts and military?

See, I can't figure that one out.

Yes you can.

No, I can't. In 2018, we spent over 65 billion on food stamps. Why is it we pay for that, but China pays for our military and tax cuts. Please explain the dynamics of that.

We aren't paying. I'm not the one clamoring for tax cuts to pay for even less. You are.

I'm not clamoring for tax cuts because taxation is closer to fair for people today thanks to Trump. But given the fact that nearly half of the people in our country pay no income tax at all, wouldn't it be a better idea to have those people start pitching in so we can start paying for these things?

In this instance, once they graduate they will be.

They will be whether we send them to college or not. Just because you don't have a college degree doesn't mean you won't be working the rest of your life.

A large portion of those working are not paying taxes or buying things because they are still below the poverty level.

If your theory actually worked the Fed wouldn't be pumping billions and billions every week.
 
it’s a phrase used by republicans to denigrate the left for wanting tuition free college or socialized healthcare, but they don’t really understand how these concepts are no different than programs already in place.

When a republican’s house is on fire or they need police assistance do they pay the responders personally? Uh no. They keep the “free shit”. You see, something like free tuition or socialized medicine are no different. All of these programs are paid for with tax payer revenue. Bernie, after all, has tax proposals to pay for his ideas.

Yes, they go bat shit over stuff like "Obama phones" without considering that these phones are a cheap way of saving tax dollars. Start with: If you are out of work, and have bad credit, how do you get a phone? Without a phone, how do you find a job? If you are a single mom on welfare and you don't have a phone, how can your child's school contact you in an emergency?

How does your case worker, parole officer, prospective employer get in touch with you? They would have to travel from their office to knock on your door, and hope that person is at home, wasting time and resources to go looking for them. If you are an elderly person, how do you call for an abulance, or other assistance? So for $25 per month, per family - $300 per year, you can give the poorest of the poor emergency cell phone service, because even if your phone is out of time, a 911 call will go through.

Oh, “proposals!” Well, that makes it much better! He wants to take more of our money to give to other people. Super.

And by the way, some kid taking a few semesters at a community college before dropping out is nothing like putting out a fire in a burning building.

Is that all, $25.00? Then why don't they go to McDonald's and work three hours a month and get their own phone?

They shouldn't be, but nobody really controls them. However at least we get something back from our money. I get nothing out of paying for college kids.

too fking funny. I had to pay each time an ambulance came to my house. I have insurance that covers that. same would be true for fire station work. Home owners insurance covers it. why is it you fking leftists can't learn how the world fking operates? no wonder you wonder in the streets defecating.
 
They pay taxes too you moron. God you people are so dense.
Hey, did you know that you can actually send the government EXTRA MONEY to pay for all that FREE shit you want to give away, instead of trying to force ME to support a bunch of lazy bums???

Maybe the Democrats should try that, since they're so generous...

(But, sorry, the government doesn't accept food stamps!!!)
Lol you keep talking about supporting lazy bums when you really aren’t. The large majority of us pay taxes. But I get it. It makes you feel manly and superior deluding yourself in that way.

Me giving more money to the IRS by myself won’t magically pay for these programs. It’s a waste unless it is a collective fund.

Close to 50% pay no income taxes. Guess who make up most of that 50%? Yeah, that would be Democrats. You see, there is a nice little spin put on it by Democrats when they say things like most welfare comes from red states and most who don't pay taxes come from red states. They are implying that is because Republicans are the welfare and no-tax crowd when, in reality, those states do tend to have many lower income folks who vote Democrat.

"In 2008, Obama lost Georgia by 5 percentage points but he won 70% of voters who earned less than $30,000 -- which is precisely the demo most likely to owe no federal income tax. Obama lost Mississippi by 14 percentage points, but picked up 66% of voters who earned less than $30,000. As a general rule, Republicans win among richer voters -- both in the red states and the blue."

Liberals tend to fall for anything, but we all know the truth. The poorest of the poor, the most uneducated and the least successfuly vote overwhemingly for Democrats, which is why Democrats want to bus people from the projects to the polling stations. You don't see them going to upper middle class neighborhoods and picking them up because they know that would be detremental.

I know you guys know this, but it hurts you feelings to know that you vote for the same loosers that the loosers themselves vote for.
Let me see your link that says mostly Democrats pay no taxes

Our own President doesn’t pay Federal Income Taxes

Didn’t that chick with the dick...Rachel Maddow prove that he paid $38 million in taxes in 2005 alone?
How much will you contribute to the treasury over your lifetime?
Partial return that did not show exemptions

Hard to believe Republicans had to go back to 2005 to find a year when he paid taxes
 
Where did I state that defense should be free? What I said is that the defense of this country is the constitutional responsibility of our federal representatives. Given that it isn't free, and actually costs a lot of money, the only way they can adhere to the Constitution is to pay for it.

We aren't paying for the military.


We aren't paying for the military.

The checks to pay for military spending are bouncing? Link?

If we had to pay them, yes. Whether future generations will ever be able to pay them is questionable.

If we had to pay them, yes.

If the checks aren't bouncing, that means we are paying for the military.

We aren't writing checks. We are paying on debt. 23 Trillion and counting.

We aren't writing checks.

We are writing checks. Over $4.4 trillion last year alone.
Not a single one has bounced.

We are paying on debt. 23 Trillion and counting.

Yes, some of those checks were for interest on the debt.

Let me know if there is anything else you're confused about. Always glad to help.
 
And you believe that? So how's he going to pay for it?

From what I recall a tax on trades.

A tax on trades. Okay, now what do you suppose the result of that will be?

Better access to higher education.

No, less people will not be trading.

Hilarious!!

What are they going to do?

Eventually, they'll figure out a way to do their trading on the London Exchange or some offshore darkpool that won't pay the tax.

Free is not free and you even admit it.

Healthcare for all would be a massive tax burden seeing you would demand that every illegal also be covered by the system while demanding the citizens of this fine nation to pay through taxes for that system...

Also the same for student loans...

None of the stuff you are asking for is free and do those that live in Apartments pay for the fire or police or does their landlord pay the taxes instead?

Your wish to make America into another Soviet Union is going to happen but remember this you will be paying and not me and why?

I will move to Mexico or some third world shithole and denounce my citizenship before paying for your so call free shit!
 
I understand the concept perfectly...

I work, and have the government take the money to pay for lots of shit the lazy Democrats aren't willing to work for...

Right???
Right and in return you get government services you goon lol. Also, the left is more likely to have a higher education therefore they have jobs idiot.

I don't want the government taking over healthcare and I damn sure don't want to pay for somebody else's. Pay for your own school, make good grades and get a scholarship, I don't want to be taxed to pay for it. Sure we have services our taxes pay for but I don't want government to control every aspect of my life.

Is it not the best interest of the country to make sure the thousands who are processing and preparing our food are healthy?

Have your state do it...

Why ask the Federal Government to do the job of your Local and State Governments?

Also none of the stuff you want is free...

I'm willing to pay. I don't want sick people processing and preparing the food I eat.

So are you claiming that if you have Universal Healthcare that no one will ever get sick and if so can you show when that was achieved in Canada or the United Kingdom?

Also why can't you ask your state to start some form of Universal Healthcare?

How does trading in London instead of New York make "less mess"?
