    the country does much better under Democrats than Republicans and has become an unequal horrible upward mobility mess the last 30-40 years. Only the garbage GOP propaganda machine makes this possible....

    I said the rest of the modern world. Your original EU Canada UK Australian New Zealand and Japan. Not us either after 40 years of giveaway to the rich and screwjob for everyone else period we used to lead the world and we don't under Trump. Give away to the Russians basically period not to mention the Chinese are killing Trump the world's worst businessman and politician

    You are totally misinformed to the extent that you want to give everything to the rich while taking everything away from the rest of us like the Republicans have been doing the last 30 years period we used to have basically free public college education until Reagan started this mess as governor of California....

    Sure.

    It's Republicans turning your electricity off and charging you $1.00 tax per gallon of gas and spending your pensions.

    Please continue with the propaganda. I love a good story.

    I go by the tithing rule which is 10 percent grand total.

    Back when the income tax was put into operation, the maximum income tax was 5 percent and only applied to some citizens not all of them

    That is not why Trump has more debt than Obama's final year of his era.
    Trump erred by not using the ACRS used by Reagan and spurring the velocity of money to a higher turnover rate.
    Cutting taxes normally will assist the public interest.

    But True Daniel that the debt has increased as you report. However do you believe Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are innocent as babies in the womb?

    What you fail to understand is raw numbers. We lack a huge supply of the rich. We do have an abundance of those that range from paying nothing up to the 95 percent range of payers. The upper tier pay over their fair share.

    The trouble is you can't get there from here with human beings as your basic building blocks. Not only are we not perfect we aren't even perfect able as we lack the three basic prerequisites for perfection and the ability to acquire them.

    Exactly. But they'll keep demanding the State fixes it for them anyway. They want to be saved from themselves. They want to be free to live like impulsive toddlers, consequence free.

    It's been a generation or two since we automatically assumed we'd need to a) behave, and b) earn our own keep.

    Exactly we have reached the point where we will need to put leaders from some where that will explain to people that we can under no circumstances afford all the government they would like to have.

    And sadly not only can the state not fix it for them, it won't even give a good faith effort to do so because it has other fish fry.

    Lol no it doesn't, if it did I would of never left Chicago not paying local and state Democrats high taxes anymore.

    And what is it with the left wanting to be isolationist ? Don't they know imports outstripped exports starting in the 1980s and we have become a global economy? No way to drag us back to the 1959s now

    So... "Their fair share" is a lie, designed to prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.
    Right?

    No I think the 'ignorant' understand that it isn't 'fair'. They simply choose to believe this so that they can vindicate what they are doing. It is more self deception, rather than ignorance. They are all culpable.

    It's like how people who steal from companies argue that the money they were taking from the till or whatever was to supliment their poor and slave labor wages.
