All seems lost but like you said we must trust and believe in God that He has a plan. Pray for our country. God can do anything. Nothing is impossible with Him.

Those who fail to recognize theft by force of government to the tune of 10% have no business advising anyone. If the Constitution stated that the government was going to take 10-20% of SOME people’s income to redistribute it to others who CAN provide for themselves but REFUSE to do so, the Constitution would have never been ratified.

Okay...then you say...

Tax brackets are being adjusted for inflation but high earners are going to get a bigger chunk off. With Trumps tax cuts it was low earners that were helped the most.


So Trump was one of many who helped people pay little or no income taxes.

So I guess that is bad? Or is that supposed to be good?

Did he follow the tax laws as written by the career politicians? It appears to be so, no matter your personal hatred that you feel for the man.

That liberals aren't on board with something that's truly distributed among everyone like the National Retail Sales Tax (which completely erases any tax burden at the poverty line) is a mystery.

Oh, wait. It was a Republican's idea.

The best path forward is we lose petro dollar status, which leads to default on debt, which leads to peaceful secession. We’ll create a military alliance but have several smaller independent nations with our own laws and currencies.



And the leaders in Beijing, Moscow, North Korea and Tehran get absolutely plastered and can't stop laughing that America - the richest country in the world - decided to cease to exist for no damn good reason. That is exactly what the Chinese would want us to do. Brilliant!

The country is less than 50% founding stock and you're surprised it's "lost"?

Numbers are much more skewed than that. Consider how many people have government jobs


And even worse when you consider nearly 50% do not vote. So really 25% are carrying the load.

Part of the problem with "you people" is that you have complete disdain for people who actually work lower tier jobs that are essential to our economy.

People here constantly bitch about inflation then berate the shite out of any hourly employee that thinks they aren't being compensated enough.

Some of the most entitled babies you'll ever meet in your life post here and act like they're somehow rugged individualists

None of what you said matters. This isn’t about moral relativism. I’m not trying to drag 10 underachievers with me across the finish line. This country used to reward excellence. Now it strives for mediocrity and caters to the lowest common denominator.

Pretty bold assumptions considering you know nothing about me, but that’s the problem with “you people.”

You gobble up the media/govt narrative that someone handing a burger through a window has a legitimate grievance while the rest of us that actually worked hard to achieve something have to stfu about inflation and pay our exorbitant taxes to support others with less ambition

Yall just refuse to realize reality. They want you dead. I have been harping on the fact that they want.

Free world... anyone that is educated and has experienced some amount of freedom they want dead.

They are starting with Europe right now. We are only feeling inconveniences here right not. But make no mistake. You are next on their list.
