And want you to pay for it all.


And if you think they really want big money out of politics, I have a very nice used bridge you might be interested in.

They want big money to stay right where it is, only they want to be the ones to decide where it comes from and what gets done with it.

Thank-you! I needed 1 solid on-topic post. I want to promote more trade schools too, a LOT more. I think student would pay for good ones that had comparable cost to a Community College. Let's convert some Community Colleges into trade colleges.

I'm open for a new Democrat tax plan where more Americans would have some skin in the game. I'd even be willing to pay a bit more if we could get 75%+ of working Americans to be paying federal income taxes.

I doubt that would ever happen unless you are a proponent of the flat tax.

Democrats would never support a flat tax. They’d lose half of their voting base.
