Riots were more rampant under Trump’s tenure more than any president in modern history. Is it not reasonable to attribute some amount of responsibility to the president this amount of civil unrest occurred under?

The amount of people saying “fantastic” or “better-off” is really unsettling to me. You can support Trump, that’s cool, but Jesus...

Can you elaborate? In your analogy, I’m assuming you’re comparing America right now to being a “crisp Saturday morning”. With everything going on, how is that accurate?

America is doing fantastic in 2021? I can think of a lot of adjectives to describe the country, but fantastic is one I wouldn’t use. And how has the dems been in “full control” since Covid started? I really can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.

Yea I know covid was a thing. It wasn’t preventable, tho personally I think the former president could’ve done a helluva lot better job at handling. But I’m not just talking about the economy. What about America’s image to the world or Americans’ faith in our government? How did he impact the US political climate?

Just a pretty straight-forward question.

I’ll look into him. I always found it weird that some of socialism’s most prominent critics were former Soviets. Many of them claim they were brainwashed by the USSR propaganda machine. I like the Gospel point you brought up. Do you have a source for that because I always believe the USSR tried to be as secular as possible. They even pledged to eradicate evangelicalism. Though many people that support socialism say Jesus was a socialist to some extent since his works was for the benefit of the poor not the wealthy. He advocated for redistribution of wealth. And Christianity teaches the love of money is the root of all evil; that’s opposite of the capitalistic notion that profit should be everyone’s drive to succeed. Do you think Jesus fits some criteria of being a socialists?

Independent is not a spectrum lol. Its either you are or are not. I’m not.

What I’m saying is I don’t think the top 5% should even have to pay 60% of the bill. If the bottom 90 percent of families hold less than one-quarter of all wealth, its no wonder tax rates are so progressive.



If wealth inequality is so large that it comes to that, there’s problems that exist in society outside of taxes. Considering the top %1 holds %40 of the wealth and have around %43 of the tax burden sound somewhat fair to me. Couple that with the fact that the top %1 benefit the most from government investments and subsidiaries, its no surprise that they would have a heavier burden. That said, I think the glaring wealth inequality is the much larger issue and progressive taxes is like putting a lousy bandaid on it.

The word tenets by itself?

I’m sorry. I’m trying to respond to so many comments. I appreciate facts and graphs. I respond back as soon I as look at your previous replies.
