we simply will look more and more like the third world countries- look for it - is what you wanted- so you can keep your back yard pristine- build a bigger wall though---
But... You guys said that's fake news! Your own Dear Leader is fond of saying that the published U-3 unemployment rate is a lie and the real rate is much, much higher.
Duly noted and done. And I suggest you grow a conscience and some decency, but we both know that's not gonna happen. Gotta keep those rich people getting even richer!
I bet they donate more time and money to charities than you ever did.
I know lots of progressives that talk a big game but when you try to get them to spend time doing some volunteer work, or putting up some real money for a cause, they are nowhere to be found.
The fact is, progressives have no decency, and do not care of the individuals plight. They only care about their public appearance of doing something to gain praise from others while the sit on their hypocrisy pointing everyone to give up as they TAKE in the name of their self serving causes.
Yes, this is the solution for lots of conservatives. Let the disabled beg for charity. Eliminate public safety nets. All in the name of propping up the military industrial complex.
Where do you see "eliminate?"
Ever hear of working for a living? I think the idea is to get people off welfare ant get them to work. That's what a prosperous nation does. We haven't had that kind of prosperity for eight years.
This is standard playbook for all conservative administrations. Eliminate social programs and anything for the poor, boost military spending, give wealthy a tax cut.
Really dont give a flying hoot. I have a daughter on the dole. An autistic niece and autistic nephew and sevaral relatives on the gvernment dole in Cali. They all get more than 700. Free medical, free medicine, food, etc etc. Stop your bitching and get off the internet and go get a job to support your citizens, and ask the government to take an extra 20% of your pay for the bilnd kid. Do it. You wont, because you dont have a job , you are in your mommas basement and your mac n cheese says great value on it.
I think this response just sums it up nicely. I have a job and I am not on any public assistance. But I also have compassion and I can see that even more gifts to the ruling donor class and the Wall Street fat cats will just kill off any semblance of democracy in America. Its especially galling to pay for those gifts by ripping away support for the most desperate and underprivileged people in America.
In Cali, the disabled get about $900 a month, in the rest of the country, its $700 a month. You claim you dont give a flying hoot. And that is unfortunate. Because the ruling donor class dont give a flying hoot about you either even though you vote for them. And that is why the working class will continue to suffer even as support for the disabled and the poor is cut to the bone. You wont see an improved standard of living though these policies, on the contrary. But the ruling donor class will. And they are the ones who will have the money to win elections, not you.
I want everyone to have tax relief, but Trumps tax cuts don't do that.
Trumps tax cuts will increase low income workers after-tax income by 0.8%.
And they will increase middle class Americans after-tax income by 1.5%.
But the richest 1% of Americans will get a 13.5% increase in after-tax income.
And the richest 0.1% of Americans will get a 14.2% increase in after-tax income.
Do you believe a 0.8% or 1.5% increase in after-tax income will noticeably help low income workers and middle class Americans? (I don't think so.) But a 13.5% and 14.2% increase in after-tax income like the richest 1% will get is a noticeable increase in income.
Why not give low income workers and the middle class noticeable tax cuts that will actually improve their lives instead of giving billionaires tax cuts (when the billionaires don't even need the money.)
And the stupidest thing is when regular Americans get more money they spend more money, and when they spend extra money buying things like computers and cars those purchases give more money to businesses owned by billionaires like Bill Gates and the Koch brothers.
But republican tax policy is not about fairness or stimulating the economy, rather its about giving greedy and un-honorable billionaires like the Koch brothers tax cuts and more money (when they already have more money than they will ever be able to spend.)
Koch brothers. No mention of Buffet or Soros.. just another whining liberal. You want to fix the ta system? Than fix it. Nothing has been changed in a long time. Its Congress, Congress writing laws for everyone, but benefits the rich, which is undefined by the way. Who is rich? What constitutes a rich person. Its like saying that girl is a **** because she wont sleep with you, but sleeps with everyone else.
So you think progressives cannot be Christians?? really????????????
Socialism/Communism is evil. The Bible does not teach taking from others to equalize all. It promotes responsible aid and giving by individual choice.
Taking from others to achieve such is evil and any progressive that thinks it is acceptable to take from another to spread the wealth is not following the Bible.
If one believes the Bible is wrong, then one does not serve God and can not be of Christ.
