I have trouble determining whether you are being serious or sarcastic.

But, you always seemed to me to be one of the better posters here.

Soros supports Hillary Clinton. There is no bigger whore to Wall Street running in this election cycle than her. Do you know who he is not supporting and who the Koch Brothers are?

Ted Cruz, who wants to eliminate ALL tax breaks and subsidies for corporations, including Wall Street, big oil, big pharma, and corporate farming. Get informed.

I honestly hope you’re a troll, because if not, you’re clearly mentally challenged and I feel bad now for being mean to you.

but most Democrats with money are givers (e.g. look at the charity provided by participants in the entertainment industry).

Greedy rich almost always is Republican. Philanthropic rich majority is Democrat.



Nice one, except that Conservatives/Republicans give more to charity, in some estimates 30% more, than Liberals/Democrats.

His plan eliminates ALL tax credits (that includes tax breaks for investment bankers and oil and gas) and deductions except for eitc and charitable donations. Everyone pays the same percent.

Being able to itemize deductions is not a flat tax.

You may not like taxes (who does?), but until the uber rich share the wealth and quit hording wealth (creating are gross income inequality), taxation of the wealthy is too low.

No one should have income over $100m per year. No one.

Wealth should also be capped.

The wealthy used to be job creators. For most, they are not.

It is the truth. Why has there not been much gentrification in Detroit? Because the African-American local government would not give in to the interlopers.

That turned out well.

No. Conservatives give more to right wing groups, like fundamentalist churches, so those figures are skewed. Who supports NPR? Liberals. Who supports the arts? Liberals. Who supports most charities that give? Liberals.

Most conservatives donors for non right wing causes are simply dodging taxes.

It isn't tax dodging.

It's reallocating funds where they're needed most.

Liberals have a word for it.
