[quote]Once both my parents pass away I truly do believe I'll leave the U.S. unless the country does a complete 180. I want to start preparing now but the question is where do you go?[/quote]There is nowhere more conservative than the U.S. with anywhere near the same quality of life. Canada, Austral...
[quote]MAGA better hope the sequel in 21 days is better than this edition because The Cave book is No Bueno. [/quote]It’s not looking like the Democrats are going to give him a penny for a physical wall. His best bet is to ask for money for increased security measures (personnel, drones, and other t...
[quote]So you send in more taxes to the government each paycheck than is required, right? You can probably just tell them to keep any refund for overpaying. You know, cause you “feel” you should pay a higher rate. I say frick em’. They get more than enough already. And if you “feel” I need to pay mor...
[quote]Ok, let's assume that's true, why do you feel entitled to steal most of their money?[/quote]Ultra-wealthy people should use their money to benefit society as a whole, but most of them don't because most people are self-interested, as nature intends. This leads to greed and inequality that wou...

[quote]So you give everything over what you want and need to charity ?[/quote]I give a good deal to charity and I help out others in my family who have less. I also don't take every tax break I could and do my best to support companies that foster a better world....
[quote]And that's your choice to do so. Not the government chopping off one of your arms to make things more equitable for the armless guy.[/quote]That's not how it works. To use your example, the government would be taking one arm off of a guy with 1,000 of them to give to the guy with none. Plus, ...
[quote]Of the Forbes 400 billionaires, 30% were inherited. . .70% were entirely self-made. BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!![/quote]30% is almost 1 in 3. That's a lot. And that's just counting people, not the weight of the money inherited. 30% of people could have inherited half the pot of net worth. Sec...
[quote]Why do billionaires deserve to pay a greater percentage of their income than someone who makes 20k a year?[/quote]If I have two arms and the guy next to me has none, I'm going to help him carry his things. For the record, I make good money and I feel that I should pay a higher rate than p...
[quote]It's a fallacy that people think they're entitled to 70% of your shite?[/quote]Most billionaires are either born into wealth have been extremely fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. It's ludicrous to assume that ultra rich people have "earned" it as honestly as the rest of us....
[quote]It's hard to encourage innovation and achievement by punishing it.[/quote]Or we could give a tax break for R&D (or find another means of stimulating innovation) AND take money off the sidelines from billionaires to pay for infrastructure, education, and the godforsaken wall (I guess)....
[quote]That broad is so fricking stupid. This is your idea of Twitter wit?[/quote]I'm not sure about how witty it is, but at least it isn't a logical fallacy like Walker's argument....

[quote]I like the way you melt...i mean think. [/quote]I ain’t melting, I don’t watch CNN, and I’m not that progressive, man! And OAN is better than Fox, but it’s pretty right wing and Pro-Trump. There aren’t many news outlets that don’t choose a side, unfortunately....

[quote]frick CNN. frick fake news. The liberal media is the enemy. They are the greatest threat to our country.[/quote]Yeah, for sure. Fox News is so so so right about everything because it’s run by unbiased, rational people with the primary goal of educating the population rather than just making mo...

[quote]I used to drop in there from time to time to get 'the other side of the news" But then I discovered I knew exactly what they were going to say - given nothing more than the subject matter noun. It is equivalent to listening to a group of ten year old spoiled rich girls dishing dirt on a s...
[quote]I feel like I'm getting effed by Trump at this point but if Mexico gives it back to pay for the wall I will put his picture on my wall.[/quote]There was never going to be a wall.

[quote]1) He claims non Christians and atheists can enter heaven by following their conscience. (he mistakenly quotes John 3:15 in doing so). To me this is pure Christian Universalism and I do not think the official teachings of the Catholic Church support this.[/quote]The vast majority of people wh...
[quote]What measures are you using for this assessment?[/quote]The only positive thing he has done is reduce corporate taxes (which could have been done by any other Republican with control of both houses). This gave an already good economy a boost, but nothing was done for the deficit and there is ...
[quote]Do you hate the results or just the manner they are produced?[/quote]If he were a decent human being and less of a hypocrite, I’d still be unhappy about the trade war, the wall, backing out of Paris accord, helping the Saudis, being easy on Russia, etc. And just to be clear, I am not saying [...
