Tell me . . .

[ChrisL]

I am for cutting out wasteful spending and redundant government agencies and those that really serve no purpose, stop funding silly studies that don't help out America (like studies on gays in Rio de Jainero, etc.). I don't have any problems with some of my tax money helping out those who are disadvantaged. It doesn't hurt me in any way. It doesn't hurt you either.

What is going to hurt is letting these corporations get away with NOT paying their share of the taxes, corporate cronyism and those lobbyists who aren't above greasing the palms of politicians to get them to vote THEIR way. This is the antithesis of what America is supposed to be. We are a government of the people, for the people, by the people.

You're beginning to sound like Matthew, a broken record.
FYI Hillary's campaign is being funded by those corporations. Pull your head out of your ass and stop reading bullshit propaganda & taking it for truth.

I'm not voting for Hillary, you schmuck. Now, if you are going to keep showing up and insulting me, you can expect to get it back twice as bad.

Them paying taxes and not being able to circumvent paying their fair share is not "punishing" them. They should be contributing to the economy and the people who allow them to have a business to begin with.

Yes, Most business owners have risk in running their business their employees have no idea of the difficulty involved. I own 3 s corps. I have nothing to fall back on except my own discipline. The federal government owes me nothing...

That doesn't mean you don't have to pay your share in taxes. We the people do, and so do businesses.

So, you are for wealth redistribution... Through the federal government?

Now where did I say that? Is the government taking all the money and redistributing it all equally amongst the people? No. While I do think there is a lot of waste, corruption and greed in the government, that does not mean that we don't have to pay our taxes! That is what keeps things running and running smoothly. Good grief! How would the government pay the electric bills without any money? God! I can't believe these things have to be explained. Some of you are SO one dimensional and you don't THINK.

Well, I am 100% debt free have been since 20s. I pay all bills including medical bills for me and my family out-of-pocket. I don't even own a credit card. That's the one thing about being self-employed it teachs self discipline...

So do recessions

If you are voting for either Hillary or Trump, tell me why.

1. What is about these candidates that attracts you?
2. Which of your chosen candidate's platforms/stances do you agree with?
3. Why are you against the "other guy"?

PLEASE answer the questions and stay on topic. Thanks.

1 The 90s were good and Obama got us back on course. I don't want to go back to 2000-2008.

2. Hillary

3. Trumps lying and I don't want Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan legislation getting passed and supreme Court nominees

What is your concern with the SCOTUS nominees?

Citizens united for one.

Forget God guns and racism. Those are unimportant wedge issue. No one is taking your gun. They may ban the sale of assault weapons but that's not banning guns.

What is important is the Scotus has gotten very conservative with alito Roberts. Did you know that whenever it's been between victims and corporations this court has sided with corporations 100% of the time.

Do you think corporations should have personhood? They don't die, they don't die from the pollution they create. Do you think corporations should have a bigger say in our politics? Then vote gop

Hey dumb shit, there is no such thing as an assault weapon, it's called an ar15 and it's a sporting rifle.
I own 3 S corps... I am the sole owner soooo it makes me and the corporation one in the same. Dip shit
Lol

Even the cost of a reliable vehicle is out of reach for a lot of people, and if your credit has been ruined, then fogetaboutit.

Sounds like a personal problem

Now now, no need to try to make this personal because you are getting flustered. How could you function at work with such a demeanor? You are probably an old retired man, am I right? You are from another generation and you are completely out of touch with what is happening TODAY in America and in the job market.

I am 46 years old and own my own bussiness, no thanks to socialism...

 

[SmokeALib]

Under other circumstances, I might agree. However, I take into consideration that those without insurance a lot of times cannot afford to pay their hospital/medical bills, which in turn raises the costs of medical care for all of us. THAT is something that needs to be addressed logically, not in a partisan manner because you think "taxes = loss of freedom."

Did you know that the idea of free healthcare insurance in this country, originated during the Second World War when FDR initiated a salary cap on wages? It was the greedy corporations, like the automobile manufacturers, that had to start offering employer provided healthcare in order to attract new talent when they couldn't offer them higher salaries. Yep, it's the corporations that gave us the idea of free healthcare insurance, and as the byproduct of poor governing.

Wrong again. Here's a thought - how about ZERO taxes for corporations? They come back home, and employ TAXPAYERS. Net gain for this huge, unaccountable, and bankrupt government. Wage earners get out of the welfare system, and this country gets out of debt.
But you won't see it that way. It involves people earning their own way.

If you were face to face with me, you probably would be. I could probably kick your skinny butt all over the joint! I'm very strong for my size, like Mighty Mouse.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Here's what bothers me. Here's this girl with two kids and she works at the Walmart and she's on food stamps.

Why the fuck does she have two kids? Did she think she could afford kids?

Here's another rule I would implement. How much do the grandparents make? Because many grandparents don't help because we do.

And watch the unplanned pregnancies drop.

But abortions will go up too. I'm OK with that. Chances are these stupid women won't have all these unplanned pregnancies.

If it were up to me, anybody applying for public assistance wouldn't get one red cent until they were fixed first.

Taxpayers would pay for this of course, but it would be a huge investment. There are no regulations that state welfare recipients cannot have children after accepting welfare. And even if there was, what's stopping them from having children? If you cut off their welfare, it would be viewed as heartless because the innocent children would suffer.

You cannot end poverty when you promote the expansion of it. It's just impossible. The apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree, and when we incentivise people to make more poor people, it's a never ending cycle.

Well la-tee-da. You want a metal or a chest to pin it on? This makes no difference at all in our discussion. Good for you. Bravo. That's wonderful. Other people may not be so fortunate.

 

[SmokeALib]

We are becoming (if we are not already there) a corporatocracy people! That's no better than a monarchy.

Those damn corporations. How dare they employ TAXPAYERS to take care of the lazy and unmotivated.

I wouldn't object to temporary BC and mandatory classes, but you know, if you think about it, then you really ARE violating someone else's liberty. Personally, I wouldn't mind if people collecting services were not allowed to abuse it, but there is really no way of doing that logically. It would also cost you more if you had to spay and neuter the poor. Also, such things come with their own set of complications.

Not to me! My rights are the MOST important thing, and that includes the 2A! That's why I won't vote for either of your stupid parties!

You don't have the right to own hand grenades a tank or a bazooka. Is that infringing on your rights?

Says the one who thinks an ar15 is a military grade weapon you stupid fuck....

Those people are not the majority.

And you know that how?

Do you live near a big city? If not, try visiting sometime.

Go to the lower income areas and take note of all the younger and middle-aged people just walking around or hanging out by the beverage store drinking out of paper bags. See them dancing around a barrel of burning wood laughing and clapping hands to music during the colder months in front of the projects.

Try living next door to a HUD house as I have for years when they come home at 2:00am or so on work nights laughing so loud it could wake up the dead, playing their car stereo full blast as they enter the drive, going into the home with their other lowlife friends to continue whatever party they just left. And if you dare ask them to please keep quiet so you could sleep to wake up and create tax money for them to live on, they threaten to burn down your house or break in to kill you.

Yeah, just a minority of them.

LOL, I paticullarly enjoy the 50lb bags of dog food at what? $1/lb! You can't make this stuff up. Purina for all!
