You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

[Luckyone]

Yeah, and spending it on illegal aliens. Now who could be behind that ?

You mean to tell me that Trump's plan to deport 11 million+ immigrants is not going to cause additional spending? You mean to say that Trump's wall, was going to be free? Mexico certainly was not going to pay for it, though Trump promised that he would get them to do so! hahahaha.

Let me give you a suggestion.

You are going to find a tough time trying to beat me at a debate. The one thing I will always have above you is the fact that I do research on everything before I open my mouth. I am accustomed to doing so since I am a stock analyst that lives off of his trading and as such, my income depends on whether the information I find is correct or not. Bias will not help my pocketbook.

Given that I have been doing research for 47 years, you are always going to have a tough time beating me "EVEN IF" you do research...............which you don't, or only do research trying to find what supports your own opinion (and you throw the research out that does not support it).

Do us both a favor, and stop making a fool out of yourself.

FALSE! In 2017 Trump cut taxes. In 2018, revenues INCREASED.
In 2019, increased even more.

U.S. Federal Government Tax Revenue

The federal government generates tax revenue through sources like income and corporate taxes. Learn how much tax revenue the U.S. generates each year.

www.thebalancemoney.com

For the rich and upperclass,es not the average Joe American. Trump's taxes didn't amount to anything for the working class. There are other expenses that were raised. So if you save a measly 3% on taxes yet your healthcare and other expenses go up due to right-wingers privatizing everything, giving their wealthy capitalist buddies a break here and there, undermining local budgets for infrastructure development, privatizing utilities..etc. Prices go up. So here on paper, it says there was a tax cut for the poor and working class, but in reality, the cost of living goes up, because the big-money capitalists and landlords become emboldened when they have someone like Trump in office. He serves them, not the working class. He's the champion of the rich, not the poor and working class.

Over half of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth. This is getting worse now due to advanced automation and artificial intelligence. Employers are automating everything, and letting go of their wage-labor. That Carrier plant in Indiana that Trump visited during his 2016 election, didn't move to Mexico. It didn't have to, because it automated most of its production line and let go of many of those workers. Carrier and other American manufacturers are automating their factories. That's great, as a democratic council-socialist, I love automation, eliminating the need for human drudgery, but the problem is that the rich today under market capitalism own all of the mines and factories, the robots and artificial intelligence..etc.

If the capitalist class owns the mines, factories, the means of production, with all of the robots and artificial intelligence, then the current working class is reduced to serfdom. People must rely on a government check to live and the capitalist class must also rely on a customer base that no longer earns a wage, but is getting a "Universal Income" from the state. The so-called UBI or Universal Basic Income, becomes the only income people have, and the only means through which capitalists can make a profit off of the paying consumer. The former working class that once sold their labor power to a capitalist for a wage, is reduced to an unproductive, consumer-serf.

That's where we're heading if the American people don't eventually take control of the mines, factories, the "means of production" and make it their commonwealth. The American people must own the means of production collectively, and manage it through worker-owned and democratically-run cooperatives in collaboration with their local, state, and federal governments. Otherwise, the rich and powerful, the wealthy elites, will own everything and the vast majority of people will be reduced to serfdom. A renter and unproductive consumer-serf living off of a government check.

​

Don't wait to be reduced to a consumer serf then realize that what we democratic socialists are saying is true. It will be too late then to make the transition from a capitalist market economy to a modern, marketless automated economy, peacefully. Don't wait for your children to go hungry, before you realize that the American people have to make the means of production their commonwealth.

HA HA. Dude, I already dismissed your laughable "global" DODGE. You know after being used 100,000 times for some years, it gets a bit stale.

BTW, the "disruption of supply chains" also was caused by Biden's drilling cancellations + cancellation of the Keystone ("transition from fossil fuels), as the doubling of gas/deisel prices inhibited transporting goods to stores - 3rd time I've told you that now (or is it 4th ?)

You keep bringing up the same tired talking points, but they don’t hold water. The disruption of supply chains was a global issue, largely driven by the pandemic and related factors, not some fantasy narrative about Biden’s policies. Blaming gas prices on drilling cancellations is a weak argument; oil prices are set by global markets, not just domestic drilling. And as for Keystone, it wasn’t even operational, so it had no impact on current supply. Maybe it’s time to stop repeating debunked claims and look at the bigger picture.

You keep bringing up this same "global" tired talking point, But you could mention it 10,000 times, and it doesn't change anything. The rents, the food, the gas, etc all started skyrocketing right after Biden cut oil production in Jan 2021. They coincided exactly.

The American people know this, and in November they will not be fooled by drivel talk about oil prices being "global" or whatever other spin you can com up with. Biden's approval rate has been in his basement with him.

You're ignoring the facts. Prices started rising globally due to a combination of factors like supply chain disruptions from COVID-19, labor shortages, and a surge in demand as economies reopened, not just because of Biden's policies. Oil production wasn't "cut"—production levels are influenced by market demand, investment decisions by oil companies, and global events, not just who’s in the White House. The idea that prices skyrocketed solely because of Biden is simplistic and misleading. The American people are smart enough to know that inflation is a complex issue, not a one-man show.

Why is it that I have to do all the work, while you sit there and play dumb? How is it possible that you have never found out this information that is so easily available and known to everyone except small children?

• Claim Depreciation. Depreciation is one way the wealthy save on taxes. ...
• Deduct Business Expenses. ...
• Hire Your Kids. ...
• Roll Forward Business Losses. ...
• Earn Income From Investments, Not Your Job. ...
• Sell Real Estate You Inherit. ...
• Buy Whole Life Insurance. ...
• Buy a Yacht or Second Home.

and many more "loopholes" for the rich.

Why is it that I have to do all the work

When you whine about loopholes, you should provide some, or admit you're clueless.
Why would I do any work on your claim? DURR

Thanks for the list.

Except for yachts and second homes, which aren't really "loopholes",
anyone can claim depreciation, deduct business expenses, hire your kids etc. etc.

USMB is full of people receiving government checks. The most work people here do is try to wobble over to the bathroom in between postings.

For the rich and upperclass,es not the average Joe American. Trump's taxes didn't amount to anything for the working class. There are other expenses that were raised. So if you save a measly 3% on taxes yet your healthcare and other expenses go up due to right-wingers privatizing everything, giving their wealthy capitalist buddies a break here and there, undermining local budgets for infrastructure development, privatizing utilities..etc. Prices go up. So here on paper, it says there was a tax cut for the poor and working class, but in reality, the cost of living goes up, because the big-money capitalists and landlords become emboldened when they have someone like Trump in office. He serves them, not the working class. He's the champion of the rich, not the poor and working class.

Over half of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth. This is getting worse now due to advanced automation and artificial intelligence. Employers are automating everything, and letting go of their wage-labor. That Carrier plant in Indiana that Trump visited during his 2016 election, didn't move to Mexico. It didn't have to, because it automated most of its production line and let go of many of those workers. Carrier and other American manufacturers are automating their factories. That's great, as a democratic council-socialist, I love automation, eliminating the need for human drudgery, but the problem is that the rich today under market capitalism own all of the mines and factories, the robots and artificial intelligence..etc.

If the capitalist class owns the mines, factories, the means of production, with all of the robots and artificial intelligence, then the current working class is reduced to serfdom. People must rely on a government check to live and the capitalist class must also rely on a customer base that no longer earns a wage, but is getting a "Universal Income" from the state. The so-called UBI or Universal Basic Income, becomes the only income people have, and the only means through which capitalists can make a profit off of the paying consumer. The former working class that once sold their labor power to a capitalist for a wage, is reduced to an unproductive, consumer-serf.

That's where we're heading if the American people don't eventually take control of the mines, factories, the "means of production" and make it their commonwealth. The American people must own the means of production collectively, and manage it through worker-owned and democratically-run cooperatives in collaboration with their local, state, and federal governments. Otherwise, the rich and powerful, the wealthy elites, will own everything and the vast majority of people will be reduced to serfdom. A renter and unproductive consumer-serf living off of a government check.

​

Don't wait to be reduced to a consumer serf until you realize that what we democratic socialists are telling you is true. It will be too late then to make the transition from a capitalist market economy to a modern, marketless automated economy, peacefully. Don't wait for your children to be hungry, before you realize that the American people have to now make the means of production their commonwealth.

What income level puts someone in the "working class"?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, and they pay taxes too, and purchase products from your capitalist buddies. Do "illegals" eat? The faster they're put to work the better. They come here to work, not live off of a government check. It's your capitalist gods who are talking about putting everyone on a government-paid "Universal Income" because they know advanced automation and artificial intelligence are going to eliminate capitalism, so they're crapping in their Fruit Of The Looms.

Yeah, and they pay taxes too,

A little bit of sales tax, big deal.

You keep bringing up this same "global" tired talking point, But you could mention it 10,000 times, and it doesn't change anything. The rents, the food, the gas, etc all started skyrocketing right after Biden cut oil production in Jan 2021. They coincided exactly.

The American people know this, and in November they will not be fooled by drivel talk about oil prices being "global" or whatever other spin you can com up with. Biden's approval rate has been in his basement with him.

You're still lying. Biden did not cut oil production in 2021. In fact, we hit a record high in April...

Bill Clinton stated this evening that since 1989, 51 million new jobs have been created and under the Democrats, of those 51, 49 million were created under Democratic presidents and only 2 million were created under Republican presidents.

Clinton said he had to check it 3 times but that it was confirmed.

Here is a link to one of the articles that confirms that information:

“Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began, 51 million jobs have been created in America. 49 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic presidents.”

This means that more Americans were working under Democratic rule than under Republican presidents. More people working means a better economy, better lives, and better life for all.

This is also something that is true and that has been confirmed 100%

What a bunch of bull shite, because without going into the numbers, and then detailing the causes and affects, then there is no way to say who or what exactly was the author of those job's, otherwise that may have been created by his own hand involved.

Remember that in most cases president's are just puppets or receivers of either good or bad choices presented to them.

They pay LESS taxes than Americans would pay in the same jobs, because their wages are lower, The lower the wage the lower the tax.
Also,. MANY illegals work off the books. and pay no taxes at all.
In sum, illegals cause a huge LOSS to US revenues.

Purchase products ? Yeah, their families purchase products in Mexico, China, India, Guatemala, etc with remittance$$$$$ sent to them from the illegals here in the US. As such, US businesses (and their employees) lose hundreds of Billions$$ per year in sales, that they would have gotten if Americans were working in those jobs and buying things in US stores.

Remittance flows worldwide in 2017

Worldwide, an estimated $625 billion (USD) was sent by migrants to individuals in their home countries in 2017, a 7% increase from 2016, when the amount was $586 billion, according to economists at the World Bank. This increase follows two consecutive years of decline.

This is all the stuff that leftwing media hides from you and it's why leftists walk around never knowing anything.

As for welfare, more illegal alien families (BYO the anchor baby racket) receive more welfare $$ than do Americans.
Also, The total cost is over $103 billion in welfare benefits to households headed by immigrants. A majority, 51 percent, of immigrant households receive some type of welfare compared to 30 percent of native households, said the analysis of Census data.

Cashing in: Illegal immigrants get $1,261 more welfare than American families, $5,692 vs. $4,431 - Washington Examiner

Illegal immigrant households receive an average of $5,692 in federal welfare benefits every year, far more than the average "native" American household, at $4,431, according to a new report on the cost of immigration released Monday. The Center for Immigration Studies, in an analysis of federal...
