    Are you saying our founding &/or framing fathers read Marx & intentionally designed our government to avoid "Marxist socialism"? That would be a neat trick since Marx wrote his book(s) over 60 years after our government was in place.

    Cute. Good laugh. I've found a few places where you & I agree, but politically we're on opposite ends of the political spectrum. :)

    If you think illegal immigration is a cause worthy of killing your neighbors in a Civil War, then your opinions regarding America & Americans aren't worth listening to or considering. :(

    Everyone deserves to benefit from their own labors. Most Americans have been frozen out from benefiting from the labors of their lives for the past 3 decades. I know you don't care. I know you will protect the wealthy elites against any threat of regulation, but I disagree with you, and those who protect the status quo.

    The last President to have a balanced budget was Bill Clinton, a DEMOCRAT. GW Bush (the REPUBLICAN) literally DESTROYED that balanced budget by getting us involved in two wars in the Middle East--one of which was totally unnecessary & based on lies.

    wrong of course. Newt took over Congress for first time in 45 years and forced Clinton to say "era of big govt is over" and to balance budget. Republicans have supported 30 Balanced Budget Amendments and each was killed by Democrats who always need more and more welfare spending to buy votes. Now do you understand.

    tax cuts always help because they keep money in hands of those who know how to earn it and out of the hands of libsocialists who only know how to waste other people's money.

    you have learned 38 times this is because liberals shipped their jobs to China and invited in 30 million to bid down their wages. Shall we go for 39?

    No there aren't/isn't. There is only one form of collective living (Socialism), and it's collective living. It's USED by various groups, but it's the same animal in all cases.

    You either accept what it is (and no one in America is ever going to do that, since so many of you want to retain the master/slave Capitalism of the worker funding the non-worker), or you accept that you're never going to have it and make the best of the Capitalism that you actually prefer.

    They are entirely a result of universal agreement on social programs. Which is entirely the result of SOCIAL HOMOGENEITY.

    THAT'S your concern? That some First Worlders can't afford to live the lifestyle they prefer, and don't want to have to work to achieve it?

    There is no poverty in America (being America, not Bangladesh). What are you saying, really?

    What exactly does that have to do with the effect of tax cuts on the federal deficit?

    The President who really did a number on the national debt was GW Bush, with his two super expensive wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, much of which he never really asked Congress to pay for, so they became part of the deficit. And, Republicans were in charge of the money in Congress from 2010 thru 2018, so if they are so good at keeping balanced budgets, why are we facing the larges deficit in American history under a Republican President now?

    I have already repeatedly shown your "30 million illegals" claim to be false. Why bother responding to the rest? It's all conservative, Trumpist propaganda. :( You're like a dog chasing its tail--just going in redundant circles, and not listening to or considering those places where your data is proven wrong. You're stuck in a single track mindset & unresponsive to the idea that your facts are wrong. Many Trump supporters are equally unresponsive to truth or even the idea of truth. American democracy deserves a higher level of open-mindedness than Trump & his supporters are giving it. American democracy is suffocated by closed minds.

    Conservatives are so caught up in opposing giving anything free to anyone, that they are incapable of seeing the good that can result from such compassionate action. Jesus taught to care for the poor and help those around you unselfishly. Conservatives--especially evangelical & fundamentalist Christians pride themselves for being true Christians, though they avoid every opportunity for living the teachings of Jesus themselves, and constantly harp on those around them who actually do.
