Strange that it's mostly Democrats who want to continue the lockdown destroying our economy...

    What is it you think they agree with me on? All I said was I believe most Dems deep down don't think Biden has a chance to win the presidency. Not sure what you keep going on about.

    Of course not, but two months of a lockdown has resulted in how many tens of millions of lost jobs??? What do you think another two months of a national lockdown would do??

    This is just common sense, if you prevent people from going to work, if you prevent business owners from opening their doors to customers, you will destroy our economy. I can't believe you think this is some kind of a politically partisan notion that closing down our economy will not destroy our economy, bankrupt our state and local governments, and not result in over 100,000 businesses to fail, many not ever reopening their doors.

    the the lockdown does not prevent you from Catching the virus. All it is, is a mitigation practice that's it.

    So if we follow your advise and our nation were to stay in lockdown for another couple of months, you will destroy the economy and a lot of people will be poor, a lot of people will be very stressed, and we will have more suicides, more people overdosing on drugs and alcohol, more domestic violence, and on and on and on.

    You cannot have a healthy Nation if our economy is in the tank and we've got 50 million unemployed people in the United States.

    Hiding in your house was only supposed to flatten the curve until our hospitals could get their feet under them, and the people prepared.

    No one is going to force you to leave your home!! Stay in your home. Lock yourself in it, only have food delivered buy a trusted friend who's not infected, and let the rest of us get back to work.

    That's right we will be keeping our economy alive, paying taxes, we will be making sure that government services are there to provide for you, while you hide out in your house. You go on letting the rest of us brave this virus to keep our economy and our nation alive.

    Well this is a post of oddities!

    No, we don't have a flat tax, Reagan or no. That's an odd thing to say.

    And I would really like to elaborate on your comment about "big black inner cities." What exactly are you talking about, and how is that a defense against @TheImmortal 's comment about Democratic cities as failures. Are you trying to tie the two together?

    After watching the behavior of Democrats like Schiff and Pelosi, they are ready to destroy the country in order to rebuild it in their Communist mold. They crave the power to rule at all costs and to change the rules so that they are never again having to answer to the people. These are exactly the people that our Founding Father's fled from and started a new nation where the people rule.

    Putting aside all economic concerns, what is your solution for getting the pandemic under control?

    I got accused of being a hater and contributing to making it more toxic for speaking out along these lines and for promoting the protests and the re open movement in another forum. Thus I’ve been spending more of my time here.

    Google the only tax graph you need to know. If you include state and local taxes payroll taxes etc etc everyone is paid about 27% on average. Even the lowest fifth of the country pays 20%. Just enough to have a wonderful GOP banana republic....

    So no flat tax. You just made that up.

    Also, I'm still wondering about your comment about "big black inner cities." What exactly are you talking about?

    When everyone who earned any real money pays between 25 and 30% and all taxes, that is a flat tax system. You believe an incredible amount of the garbage propaganda.

    Blacks vote 90% + Democrat because they know which party is full of racists....

    As usual your lack of curiosity is amazing and a disgrace. Google the only tax graph you need to know.

    I already know what a flat tax is and we don't have it.

    As far as your "big black inner cities" go, that is your answer to @TheImmortal 's comment about the financial failure of Democratic cities? You are blaming it on black people?

    Listen up fat, now look, anyone that has gotten beyond the first grade can see that the democrats in charge are just giddy with excitement over this virus, they straight up are loving what it is doing to the economy, I am surprised Nancy can keep the smile off her ugly face. It is the best thing that could ever happen to the minor party. Nothing could please them more than if we did the Great Depression 2.0

    You are factually and mathematically incorrect. We do not have a flat tax in the US.

    Of course you believe the brainwash and are obsessed with the federal income tax our only progressive tax. But if you count states and local taxes which have gone up the last 40 years we have a flat tax system. Google the only tax graph you need to know. You live on an imaginary garbage propaganda planet.

    So the fact that we don't have a flat tax is "GOP propaganda."

    As a member of the reality based community, I find your ramblings amusing, but void of "facts."

    Bologna. They just wish that the Trump administration was not totally incompetent at getting out the required equipment and testing and tracing.

    I don't know why you are focusing on this one aspect that you are incorrect on, instead of answering my question about your "big black inner cities." That is your answer to @TheImmortal 's comment about the financial failure of Democratic cities? You are blaming it on black people?

    No I'm blaming it on racist GOP people and institutional racism. Also on the GOP war on the poor and regular people....which of course the blacks do the worst with....

    That one aspect is why the country is falling apart the last 30 years. We have a flat tax system if you count all taxes, a huge giveaway to the rich, the greedy idiot GOP Rich that is.... The most important thing going on in this country is the giveaway to the rich GOP tax rates and the incredible garbage GOP propaganda machine you believe despite it being total crap everywhere but Rupert Murdoch land.... Google the only tax graph you need to know and stop being a misinformed chump of the greedy idiot catastrophic GOP rich.... Did you notice the corrupt bubble and bust the GOP gives us every time they have eight years in office, not to mention the screw job for the regular people and the stupidest wars and covert action ever since Harding......

    OK got it. You said something both racist and stupid and are now trying to distract with some BS angle about a nonexistent flat tax.
