Why do the people who voted for Hillary want to pay more taxes?

[bripat9643]

I said the are calling for bigger spending. I didn't say anything about taxes, moron.

Can't resist the insult can we.
I'm still waiting for your PhD.
I keep asking, just get. Moron!!!
Our baby boy obviously isn't a millionaire.
My dad (and I) are
Dad "I love paying more taxes this year, means I screwed the uneducated out of more than last year."
The rich don't mind paying, don't miss it.
On the other hand the Vegas friend of. Don got a $600000000 tax refund

1. Your writing sucks.
2. Use commas.
3. Who was it that got a $600 mil tax refund? Gonna need a link to that one.

How could anyone get a tax refund this year when Trump’s tax cuts didn’t take effect until the 2018 tax year?

Their withholding was adjusted as soon as the tax bill was signed. You should just keep your mouth shut about American government if you don't want everyone to know how ignorant you are.

It’s you who is displaying your ignorance.

The withholding which changed was for the 2018 taxation year. It didn’t result in refunds. It resulted in reductions in the amounts deducted from paychecks.

People are NOT being issued tax refunds based on the new tax code. That won’t happen until next year.

The level of your ignorance has no basement.

Exactly. Who's claiming that anyone would get a bigger refund in April 2018? They are paying less in taxes this year.

Your implication that lack of belief in any religious doctrine is grounds for you forcing your belief on them is nuts. There is no reason why a person has to adhere to a religion.

I'm not trying to force a religion on anybody, I'm saying you shouldn't be allowed to force your atheism on believers.

How does performing the service you are in business to perform have anything to do with anything?

If you create anything for specific cause, then you are working on behalf of that cause, which means you are participating.

Right. The electric company was part of the wedding party, along with the people who sold them the ice for the punch.

Ok then, I guess the only answer is to force religious businesses to comply with the wishes of anyone who wants to patron their store, and there should absolutely be no organizations who are allowed to refuse anyone based on religion, races, or orientation, correct?

If that is your stance, then that opens a lot of problems for certain organizations across America.


Also, electric companies are public utilities, and are not privately owned, and if someone purchased ice out of a machine, I don't see how they would have any control.


I'm not talking about discrimination here, I'm talking about actual religious beliefs. You still haven't answered my other question. Do you believe that a Muslim butcher should be forced to handle and process pork products? By what you are saying here, they should be made to do so, even though according to their religion, they are not supposed to touch any unclean meat, but, that doesn't matter, a person should be able to bring in all the hogs they want, and that butcher can not refuse to process them.

If a Muslim butcher is hired by a secular company, yes he should accept the job requirements, including butchering pork.

The same for s pharmacist who believes birth control is wrong. Dispense the pills or find other work.

However, a Muslim butcher shop is not required to sell pork or provide pork products for customers.

Anti-discrimination laws say that if you provide goods or services, you must sell them to everyone regardless of race, religion or sex.

If you apply for a job, you should be prepared to do the job. If aspects of the job violate your beliefs or ethics, find s different job.

 

[blackhawk]

Seriously, this is illogical and ignorant. So why do you want to keep less of your money and give more away to the government?

Be specific please

They don’t want to pay more taxes they want someone else to pay more in taxes usually the often mentioned one percent.

Rachel Dolezal, Who Pretended to Be Black, Is Charged With Welfare Fraud

You know everything about stupid GOP propaganda and and nothing about policy and GOP thievery, super duper.

No kidding, I didn't realize Ms. Dolezal was part of the GOP...dumbass.

Part of GOP propaganda d u h

You're a troll. She is a Bipolar Schizo who is as White as Snow.

Which means nothing about Democrats in general or anything else... Just GOP propaganda fos as usual.

We're the only country in the world now where the richest pay the same on on average as the middle class and even working class. And the country is falling apart.

You don't get it

The people who voted for Hillary don't want to pay more taxes. They want everyone else to pay more taxes

This is the mythology of the left-wing that is unavoidable. If the left-wing didn't have myths to believe, they wouldn't exist.

In this case, the myth is that when they demand higher taxes, they always believe that someone else will pay those taxes. They never believe that they themselves will pay the taxes. It's always someone somewhere else.

The fact remains the Democratic platform and policy 4 years has been to raise taxes only on the rich. GOP Dupes cannot past that at all LOL! Arrgghhh

Say what?


Obama care was the biggest tax of all..

That is how much our Healthcare actually costs, dupe. ACA will bring down costs and is the only solution on the Horizon. 80% paid less than$100 a month.

 

[francoHFW]

You are right we have smaller houses and slightly smaller cars and most importantly no big refrigerator. We have only those unimportant things as universal Healthcare, the ability to send our kids to college without going in debt. Way less debt in general since we typically don't have credit cards to pay off other credit cards. The ability to keep doing organized sports into our adult life. Doctors, physical therapists and nurses coming to our house if we aren't mobile, something that helps make us live years longer on average, etc. That's what Socialism gets you.

Plus 4- 6 week vacations, good infrastructure daycare paid parental leave. The GOP has screwed Americans.

There's more but what's the point, bripat is interested in his prejudices being confirmed, not actual information

Your "information" is actually just propaganda. You're trying to make paying $10/gal for gas sound like a good thing. Driving a car is much preferable to mass transit. The latter is the transit that gets you from where you aren't to where you don't want to be. Yeah, everyone wants to live in a smaller house without modern appliances

Somehow playing soccer is supposed to be some big luxury. We have a thing here called intramural sports. Anyone who wants to can participate for very little money. The reason no one wants to play golf in Europe is the fact that it costs $200 for a round. Here you can get on a course for under $25.

I pay a bit less than 5 dollars a gallon. How in the hell did you get the idea I live in a house that has no modern appliances. In fact I just bought an LG oled TV last week. I use a car myself, an SUV btw. If you use golf as a way to establish a higher quality of live, why can't I use my own sport of preference. And if you call my information propaganda you are of course capable of providing me with a list of the errors? As to my link, it's number 5 when you Google average electricity prize by country. It's the link I used because it was the first which had current statistical data and had Belgium included. Give me data that disputes the numbers and you might have a point. Until you do the fact that your outdated chart didn't have the same numbers as mine proves nothing

I have watched television shows on HGTV where couples are shopping for housing in various European cities. Most of the places they look at do not have dish washers, the regrigerators are tiny, they don't have ovens and they have a two burner electric stove. The cost is also astronimical compared to what we pay here. Often they are talking about paying $2000/mo for these tiny apartments.

Golf is a sign of affluence because golf is an expensive sport. A golf course requires a large plot of land in a populated area, and it also requires extensive maintenance and has huge water bills. The equipment used to play golf is also expensive. A good set of clubs will cost you at least $500. Soccor doesn't require 1/10th as much physical capital.

According to the chart on this web page, the cost of gas in Belgium is $6.71/gal.

Filling Up Just Got More Expensive by Three Key Measures​

As I have noted, electricty is 3 times the price in Germany that we pay in America. Other european countries are equally high.

Your link to electricity prices is obviously to a propaganda site.

They don't have our amazing resources or distances, or potholes or bridges falling apart either... They don't have lying cheating thieving GOP and silly dupes either...

 

[Markle]

Most of the very rich are paying only a third what they should be paying because of the loop holes...Heck, some corporations are paying not a damn cent.

How is that fair? It isn't.

Specifically, where does the money come from with which a corporation pays taxes?

If a corporation makes no profit, on what do you believe their customers should pay taxes?

Actually we would be the richest and we are, but thanks to you doups and the scumbag GOP, you'd never know it...

So will the far left give back their "crumbs" to the government?

Democrats haven't had control in in order to pass reform since LBJ, while the GOP only needs 51 votes 2 cut taxes on the rich and services on the rest... And down we go...

 

[Markle]

By any accounting you are better off as part of a society than as an individual.
Save your taxes and try surviving without roads, bridges, clean water, police and military protection, free education, safe food and drugs

Other than military protection, safe food and. drugs, all the things you mention are paid for by local taxes. Whatever a community wants, they decide how much they want it and how much they're willing to pay.

[Markle]

I don't mean to be rude or unkind, but us "liberals" have different people bringing a multitude of problems to the table. Unlike "conservatives" that ban together and cause a problem. Don't lump me in with the non-christians, they bring their particular problems about religion to the table. There are other groups of people that vote "left", doesn't mean I identify with them. So to alleviate this problem you should ask are you a christian before you accuse them of not being.

What you "liberals" have are constinuencies with their hands out. What problem do conservatives cause?

Can you name 5 or more of those constinuencies with hands out. The Iraq war was one place conservatives ban together and caused a problem. Oh yeah but that was President Obama's fault.

As for the Iraq war, which was authorized by the United Nations and our Congress. Here too is what the Democrats had to say prior to the invasion.

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."
- President Clinton in 1998 “

[…], when I say to Saddam Hussein, "You cannot defy the will of the world", and when I say to him, "You have used weapons of mass destruction before; we are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.”
- President Clinton , Jan. 27, 1998 – State of the Union

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 .

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraqis nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.”

“Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.”

“Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.”

- President Bill Clinton, Dec. 16, 1998


"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."
- Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998 Clinton Secretary of State

"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed."
- Madeline Albright, 1998 Clinton Secretary of State

"(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 "

Update: September 8, 2005 - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser was sentenced to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them..

[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton.
- (D) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 9, 1998 .

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 .

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 .


"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 .

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 .

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons but has not yet achieved nuclear capability."
- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 .

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002.

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal."
- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

"The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."
- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 .

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003" (Currently President Barack Hussein Obama’s Secretary of State)

I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out."
- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003


"Saddam is gone and good riddance," former President Bill Clinton said yesterday, but he urged President Bush to resist trying to get even with nations that opposed the war.


"There are German and French soldiers in Afghanistan today. Does the President want them to come home?" Clinton said at a Manhattan forum on corporate integrity.


Democrats on Iraq + WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction)





He [President Clinton] praised Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for their handling of the war, but said Bush should have waited longer before attacking for the "chance that either [Saddam Hussein] would have disarmed or . . . we would have had far more members of the Security Council with us."


Clinton also said Bush should not be faulted if banned weapons of mass destruction aren't found.


"I don't think you can criticize the President for trying to act on the belief that they have a substantial amount of chemical and biological stock. . . . That is what I was always told," Clinton said.

- Former President Clinton Wednesday, April 16, 2003

"Could Be One of the Great Achievements of This Administration" The vice president said he’d been to Iraq 17 times and visits the country every three months or so. "I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society" he said. "It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences."

- Vice President Joe Biden (D) Feb. 10, 2010

How has the war President Barack Hussein Obama said we SHOULD have been fighting going? How is the Middle East going now that President Obama is President? Oh, Afghanistan just crossed 2,330 American fatalities. Seventy percent of whom died since President Obama took office.










And then the Obama administration wanted to TAKE CREDIT for the Iraq war…whew….

I'm not talking about discrimination here, I'm talking about actual religious beliefs. You still haven't answered my other question. Do you believe that a Muslim butcher should be forced to handle and process pork products? By what you are saying here, they should be made to do so, even though according to their religion, they are not supposed to touch any unclean meat, but, that doesn't matter, a person should be able to bring in all the hogs they want, and that butcher can not refuse to process them.

Of course you are talking about discrimination, and our laws do force businesses that do business with the public to treat everyone fairly. That is the purpose of public accommodation laws. A private entity such as a private club or a church doesn't have to adhere to all those laws. A bakery is not a church or private club. Why are you trying to shift the discussion? We can discuss Muslim and Jewish butchers later if you like (they both have the same religious restrictions on pork). You have yet to justify why YOUR specific religion should be exempt from laws that every other business has to comply with.
