No elected Democrat has advocated what you said they advocate, namely "tak[ing] away every citizens guns, and control everyone's speech, where they work, etc." I dare you to find the quotes.

What you call taking away guns is really the sensible idea of background checks.
once again you have missed my point. democrats are not going to come right out and say the things they REALLY want to do because they would LOSE elections. however dianna feistein HAS said she wants to take away ALL americans guns, now do you really think hillary doesnt agree with her?

as for the slashing of taxes on the rich, everyone must have been rich because EVERYONE benefited from lower taxes. the proof is out there, you just are too blind to see it. or you listen tot the huffpo too much. try a real news paper once. there was one more benefit from the tax cuts, and that was the tax burden shifted UPWARDS to where the top 10% went from paying 40% of the taxes collected to 70% of the taxes collected by the IRS.

Had Obama said, "You can keep you health plan if you like for the same cost, same coverage, same everything, and you don't have to change a thing," he would be lying but he didn't say that.




He did mention something..........Oh yeah, something about a family of 4 saving $2500. a year.

HRC is like any other 2 bit Dictator who promises everything and delivers nothing. Stalin and Castro did and look where these countries are now.


The DNC can not possible tell the truth and the inner circle knows it!

"a ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security made an outrageous statement that militia groups are mobilizing and could act if Donald Trump loses the election"

Where do I sign up?

There is no defensible economic case for the obsession with cutting taxes on the rich. That is, you might think that if you’d spent the past 20 years in a cave (or a conservative think tank) that such policy makes sense. Otherwise, you’d be aware that tax-cut enthusiasts have a remarkable track record: They’ve been wrong about everything, year after year.

Some people might remember the forecasts of economic doom back in 1993, when Bill Clinton raised the top tax rate. What happened instead was a sustained boom, surpassing the Reagan years by every measure.

Undaunted, the same people predicted great things as a result of George W. Bush’s tax cuts. What happened instead was a sluggish recovery followed by a catastrophic economic crash.

A few years ago, the usual suspects once again predicted doom in 2013, when taxes on the 1% rose sharply due to the expiration of some of the Bush tax cuts and new taxes that help pay for health reform. What happened instead was job growth at rates not seen since the 1990s.

I'll repeat this once again, since it seems not to have filtered through some thick heads, there is no evidence that cutting taxes on the rich is beneficial to either the economy as a whole or working Americans.
