It has been for a long time. People tend to not want to think about it unless they or a family member has a mental illness. That being said, I've yet to see any evidence that would lead me to believe that this guy was mentally ill.

Get real. Why is it mental illness when someone does something like this? They are just weak people who are encouraged by leaders like Lynch saying inflammatory shite to them.
Not everyone fights, most avoid it yet would LOVE to be able to, but some will punch another man over the smallest disagreements....are they mentally ill?

What's modest?
Moving tax brackets higher and increasing the rates (e.g., top rate starts at somewhere like 1mil and is taxed at 50%), moving brackets up so everyone above poverty level pays, ending nearly all deductions, eliminating the corporate tax rate and taxing capital gains at a higher rate.
Who said anything about socialism?

Sad.

Wealth is not "distributed". If you believe it is, who and how is it being "distributed"?

There's nothing wrong with being liberal, except it's extinct in the US
Both sides have shifted and no party is what hey were 50 years ago.
My point is that I see the liberalism is a mental illness phrase every day, but no one seems to be able to define how it is, or even articulate what it means to be liberal.
It's a simple pejorative that simple people use who are either incapable or too lazy to think about the essence of what they mean and explain that in a meaningful way.
In other words, it lets me know they're just sheep and no more thoughtful than the so called progressives and snowflakes who they like to trigger. In short, same fricking idiots, different bandwagon.

Who said anything about party? Ideology doesn't change, people do.
Democrats embraced the more progressive (authoritarian) stance and abandoned liberalism.
Republicans are all over the place

Obviously not. It is worth noting however that the history of radical leftism is a history of shear, unadulterated violence.

Fair points all, I agree with you. It's confusing because of the misnomers of referring to current politicians using the same adjectives as before instead of defining them as who they really are.
In the end, for the it's all about money and influence, and they embrace whatever they believe will get them as much as possible. This is why we need corporations and their lobbyists 100% out of politics. It will be the downfall of our country.

Pretty sure radical anything falls under this category. No one would ever accuse the 3rd Reich, Iran, Afghanistan, or any other Islamic nation as leftist.

Your post is nothing but excuses.
The only thing that prevents someone from being successful is their will and hard work.
I worked a full time job and a part time job, 1 paid 5.29 and hour and the part time was 4.25. I also went to school full time until my wife had to go on bedrest with our second child. We were American poor. We ate beans and rice and other cheap foods. It was all we could afford. We had a broken down station wagon that was 15 years old and had no working AC.
No cable, no cell phones.
2 bedroom apartment in a bad side of town.
Don't tell me that it can't be done. I've done it.
It isn't any different today, get off your arse and work for it.
You people who say there are no jobs are full of it. Upgrade your skills. Sit up and study from 10PM to 2 or 3AM every night for a couple years. Do what it takes.

They don't look that bad to me. Replace every instance of Republican stuff with democrat stuff and replace the science with Jesus and it would be a portrait of a Trumpkin Facebook

Giving someone a break on taxes that not everyone else receives is absolutely a handout. I'm not saying it's wrong because I firmly believe the government should encourage certain types of behavior, but it is 100% a benefit. You may philosophically want it to be different, and you may have constructed your political opinions based on that philosophical framework, but that is not the current world we live in.
Taxing someone on their work/production is legalized theft
The only tax that isn't is a tax on goods or services.
Taxing on goods or services is not theft because a person has a choice to not purchase the good or services and thus avoid the tax.
All other taxes are theft because they involve taking your money by force using the governments gun.

Social media feeds the hate. You gotta turn it off or it can get to you.. of course I'm typing this on the poli board so I should probably listen to myself
