    Obama raised the top rate by 10% which also raised the rate on small businesses using pass through tax accounting. People lost jobs because of his moronic action.

    Trump only hates Fox News anytime one of their anchors/journalists exposes something negative about Trump. Shep Smith had to resign, and Chris Wallace, Judge Napolitano, and sometimes Neal Cavuto may have to watch themselves, as they're unable to continue lying for a clown president who can by no means be defended.

    They were all socialist democrats in those days. It was the norm in those days to have all the social programs that Bernie is simply trying to reinstate in America. People today still recall having free/dirt cheap healthcare & dental, and virtually free education (except for books, misc. stuff)...that is, until the SCOTUS & Reagan eliminated it & began the initial divergence of income inequality between the middle/working class & wealthy. Today CEO's make between 40,000 - 100,000 times more than their employees...all the while wages continue to stagnate.

    Again you cannot produce one person who has been denied the right to vote. Voter suppression is a lie.

    Your comment of Reagan is ridiculous.

    The median CEO salary is ~ 3X the average employee.

    I listen to Fox, but I don't hear them say that Russia intervention into our election was a hoax. I hear them say that Trump's collusion with Russia to sway the election to Trump is a hoax. I would think by now we all know Russia and America have continually messed in other country's affairs and elections. We both have been doing it for decades. Hell, we continually do it with Cuba, South and Central America. Obama himself did it with Israel, Libya and Egypt. Libya is still a mess and we can only thank the Egyptian Army from saving us from that fiasco. Yet hear we have Democrats playing this up like it's something new and Trump is to blame.

    Much of the trouble Trump's (mafia) got into was done before they ever joined Trump's team. What most of they did while working for Trump is lying to the FBI. Flynn lied when he didn't even have to because he felt he had done something wrong by going to Russia, when he didn't. So for two and a half years of investigating of Russian collusion ,done by about 18 lawyers who were mostly pro Democrats, the only people convicted of collusion was Russians them selves. No Americans were charged.

    Now lets look how this investigation got started in the first place. By a phony dossier that was paid for by Hillary and the Democratic Party. A dossier that was passed off to the FISA Court by members of the FBI, that they had to sign that was true and verified, when they knew it wasn't. That dossier was the main evidence they had to start an investigation on Trump and they lied and withheld information that the FISA Court should have been informed of. If both were told to the FISA Court that the dossier was not all correct or verified and that it was paid for by the Democratic Party, the chance of ever getting the court's ok to start the investigation would have been next to zero. The first report that came out of that investigation on how the investigation started was soft. No witnesses were called and they called (17 ) mistakes were committed in bringing this to the FISA Court. I think we'll know a lot more when the Durham report comes out. This is the FBI. They have gotten the FISA Court to ok thousands of investigations. You don't make (17 mistakes) when your doing it against the President of the United States. You make damn sure all your t's are crossed. I am sure when the Durham report comes out, some people from our highest criminal investigation dept. are going to be charged. This investigation should have never been done. It was done because a lot of people didn't like Trump and went to get him impeached. It was a political COUP. If you had listened to Fox News you would have gotten it. All CNN,MSNBC, CBS ere saying is that Trump was trying to take the heat off him for collusion with Russia, by going after the FBI and other agencies.

    The FBI interviewers of Flynn did not think he was being untruthful. And one of those was Strozk. The interview was a set up by Comey and the entire "he was lying" lie was used to pressure him into disclosing or manufacturing damaging information on Trump. What they have done to Carter Page, Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Papadapolous, and others is disgusting and can hopefully be corrected either by pardon or retrial. BTW Amy Berman Jackson should be impeached for her conduct. She belongs in Venezuela where the banana republic style of judicial conduct thrives.

    Yes but that is trivial now since everyone has security for their computers so we won't be seeing emails as 60% of political coverage again at least. The major problem is the incredible ridiculous disgraceful Rupert Murdoch's GOP propaganda machine and the radio demagogues that have half the country totally misinformed with hate propaganda...

    Looks like a good reason to venture out, take a chance and begin your own business.. I think that the obvious difference in leftist and conservative's, that being drive! Rightwing people see someone making a profit from self employment and take a chance, apply that same energy to succeed whereas the left ideology is one of defeatism... They clearly put the bulk of their effort in to finding ways to "TAKE" from those that take chances and succeed rather then put in the effort to succeed themselves..

    That's why we see the leftist party so lured by candidates today that promise wealth distribution and the promise of "Free" :nod::nod: :thumbsdown::rock_slayer:

    You judge the Conservative wrongly! We are far more savvy then to follow blindly of the ranting MSM crowd.. Is that who you would prefer we all watch? If that's the case, then logically we would have better then 80% of the country eating from a trough of leftwing bullshit ;)

    It's true. Google it. It's not in dispute.

    Actually we're both wrong. CEO salary is as high as 3,566X.

    The 19 companies with CEOs paid over 1,000x more than the median employee [LINK]

    More examples [HERE].

    Average CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978, while typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time. [LINK]

    Now consider the hourly minimum wage in China of $1.73 and compare that to the salary of an American CEO who's corporation is benefitting from Chinese slave labor, and that figure goes up at least 4X the U.S. value.

    Most of that trade is NOT Fairtrade. And large corporations don't care about Fair Trade, do not typically exercise Fairtrade, nor are they obligated to exercise Fairtrade. Both sides want maximum profits, so typically you'll find Fairtrade with smaller, more conscientious companies. Here are a few examples:

    * Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
    * Fair Indigo
    * Fairhills Wine
    * Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
    * Theo Chocolate
    * Blends for Life

    Trump was so desperate to find dirt on Hillary, Comey, and McCabe that he had his DOJ (at taxpayer's expense!!) conduct lengthy investigations on them! lol
    But absolutely no wrongdoing was uncovered.

    Trump Fumed Over No Charges for Ex-FBI Heads James Comey, Andrew McCabe [LINK]

    Investigation into Hillary Clinton pushed by Trump comes up empty after two years [LINK]
