FDR, aside from being the worst President in history, was a liberal. So yes, you own WWII. Good to see you don't even contest that Vietnam was the left's baby. It was, which is probably why it's the only war we ever lost.

Sad to see you suffer the delusion it was the left's alone. It was Eisenhower who sent advisors there so the right hardly has clean hands, and then there was the scumbag Nixon who chose to try and manipulate the war to benefit his reelection while not giving a rat's ass how many were killed/maimed in the process, as well as dropping more total tonnage on Laos then was dropped in WW II, the unexploded examples of which continue to kill/maim to this day.

BTW, we didn't lose that war, there was never anything to be won.

A: How many of the uninsured can be insured with the increased tax revenue from eliminating the tax break for employer-paid insurane?

Or has he paraphrased Lenin's 'A lie told often enough becomes truth' into 'A Tweet tweeted often enough becomes reality'?

Apparently he is correct, so far. Congress CERTAINLY has demonstrated its inability to repeal and replace Obamacare like he.

I think that's in the tax code under "ceteris paribus, uninsured taxpayers must pay a higher effective tax rate than taxpayers with employer-paid health insurance".

Who imposed on working uninsured taxpayers the charity of "higher effective tax rates on taxpayers without employer-paid insurance"?

You completely contradict yourself in this post. Do you know who ended WWII? Do you know the party affiliation? Would you say the U.S. lost WWII?

I'd say about the same as the number of conservatives who will step up and care of all the babies born to families that can't afford to have another child, and would not have had another if Planned Parenthood had not been defunded.

FDR's approval rating was 70%. Far, far better than any president who came after.

Dictators almost always have high "approval ratings"
