This! Altho, both parties themselves would prefer less extreme candidates. But in this day and age of social media, politics (as are sports) are profitable at the extremes where they get all the clicks, either for or against. Straw man arguments rule the day.
See, we just think different. The wealthy already pay the majority of the taxes, by a loooong shot. Cuts on corporate tax is an incentive to have corporations, businesses and factories here, which in turn provide nice jobs for the middle class. When you have businesses competing against each other it's great to keep costs down while providing for better quality control of products and services. That in turn makes for a healthier and thriving economy.
To summarize there are three categories of people in this country:
This has not worked out well for California, Washington, and Illinois as unemployment #s are very high in these states which is both due to the high corporate tax rates as well as the higher than normal minimum wage rates for each state.
Exactly. These stupid people out there and in the major cities just assume they can raise minimum pay and the corps will just eat it. They won't. It is amazing how they can't F'ing be forward thinkers and look down the road at the ramifications of their stupid decisions. They always pass the increase down to the consumer causing inflation and as you put it, go out of business. Fast food is even hurting now. My wife and I hit a Wendy's the other day before a show due to timing to get to the show. Two regular chicken sandwich meals came to $24.00. I don't know what it would be on the coasts.
..........and yet, he is still better than any other option we have at this moment. Thank you for strengthening our point even more.
I dont get how people think taxing the rich is the way to cure the government debt. I get its a little hard to comprehend the difference between billions and trillions. But it's an insane number. Best we could do is maybe rob another 50-100 billion a year from the wealthy. That doesn't even put a tiny dent in the spending issues the government has.
I guess my educated guess would be the democrats since that's the party all the extremely wealthy people want in power. Wouldn't make much sense for all these uber rich people to vote Democrat if they're going to get taxed higher by them. It's impressive that democrats can still pull off the "fair share" line with all the ultra wealthy people on their side, but it still seems to work.
...and they want "inclusion"............just not in their gated communities.
You vote for your criminal traitor I’ll vote for decency. Free country at least for the moment
You won't find decency in either political party no matter how indignant you feel.
I wouldn't call showering with your daughter until she starts showering in the middle of the night to avoid you "decency".
There’s a lot of evidence to imply that Biden is a criminal traitor. Decency? Like Hawkboys already said good luck finding that from either side. Free country? The current administration is working hard to make that a thing of the past.
So, you're telling me if Trump got back in or any Republican it wouldn't be a free country. Whatever. We are never more free than we are when having a Republican president and congress. Not even close.
So since no other politicians ever get charged with anything, do you think that means they're all sqeeky clean? I think most all of them are corrupt so the fact they only go after one (who happens to not be a career politician) raises more questions than answers for me.
Not everyone thinks one party is corrupt and the other party isn't. People like me think there is corruption on both sides. So going off my last post, if you think Trump is the only crooked politician and that's why he's the only one being charged with crimes, you obviously think your list here is a list of people who won't stand for his corruption. But if you think there are lots of crooked politicians so it's strange they're only going after one, you probably think your list is a list of corrupt Republicans who are afraid the corruption might end if Trump gets in.
