    And the actual rate is not ~ 6% - it is ~ 12%. The person whose gross income is $106K actually makes ~ $116K and pays ~ $13K in payroll taxes.

    Bologna. Anyway the point is federal income taxes are trivia not an obsession like it is on the GOP propaganda machine. The non rich also are hit twice as hard by state and local taxes and fees. That is how we get a flat tax system that is disastrous for the middle class over time.

    Nope. Not bologna.

    A person making $30K, $40K, etc. pays less payroll taxes than someone making $100K or more.

    The fact that you think it's partisan needs you think there is a conspiracy.

    The only answer you can give without being absurd is yes you think it's a conspiracy.

    Look up the word conspiracy and see that it fits perfectly with your plea.

    Further I don't believe you. I'm sorry I'm not a far-left hack and think that every Republican is the devil incarnate.

    If you want to argue that there is a conspiracy and that's what you're doing I do want to be more than a flat earther, do you have to prove conspiracy.

    The fact that you just an angry far-less test didn't get his way it's not proof.

    Basically put it's more likely that you are lying, then the alternative which has everyone in the world that disagrees with you is lying.

    People who believe this sort of thing are often considered narcissistic.


    Feel free to prove this conspiracy Nothing is stopping You.

    Orange man is bad, because he didn't have the right party affiliation everything he does even though some of it was something Democrats advocated for during Obama's term is there for bad.

    And any accusation levied against him that somehow Express has some sort of a negative attribute is absolutely gospel truth because "prophets"(out of their mind far left house Democrats and media characters) and the "Messiah" (her eminence Nancy pelosi, avert your eyes heathen). Said so. It is written so let it be done.

    The funny part is they think we are this way, by we I mean people outside of their cult.

    I'm going to say something end of watch should someone respond I will predict what they say.

    I voted for Trump the first time because I thought it would be funny, I like him because he does not care about what the microbrains say. I imagine Republican voters like him because he isn't able to be bullied by the media the wave George Bush or mitt Romney were. when they trying to spend he just looked him in the eye and tell them they're fake news I won't talk to you.

    And of course the litany of protests will come out and say how personal he takes everything off and how you whines about everything. Because there can be no redeeming qualities at all, their Messiah disapproves.

    At this point there's no real reason to talk to them. There can be no discussion because if you don't think orange man bad you are in league with the devil.

    The worst thing you can do to him is vote for Trump again. Wouldn't it be hilarious if he won in such a landslide like Nixon won with McGovern. They don't want to talk they want to vent their frustrations and convince themselves that you are a Russian spy sent here by Vladimir Putin. because they don't want to live in a world where there are not the ultimate authority.

    Best thing to do is pick on them until they have a hemorrhage.

    so

    Yes...in the land of Make Believe.

    Both parties are corrupt corporate shills. That's why the DNC has betrayed Bernie. Only a handful of Congressmen can be viewed as honorable & trustworthy (and they're all from the Dem side).

    Can't make this up. Trump is exonerated and the only honest politicians in DC are Banana Republic Party members.

    The Media Research Center is another right-wing self-proclaimed "media watchdog" organization founded by perpetual crybaby L. Brent Bozell III.
    https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Media_Research_Center

    -----------------------------------------------------------​

    The Media Research Center (MRC) is an American politically conservative content analysis group based in Reston, Virginia, founded in 1987 by L. Brent Bozell III. It characterizes itself as a media watchdog, but Politico considers it an anti-mainstream advocacy group and the Columbia Journalism Review considers it "propaganda clothed as critique".

    The nonprofit MRC has received financial support primarily from Robert Mercer, but with several other conservative-leaning sources, including the Bradley, Scaife, Olin, Castle Rock, Carthage and JM foundations, as well as ExxonMobil. It has been described as "one of the most active and best-funded, and yet least known" arms of the modern conservative movement.

    I guess you didn't watch Mueller's testimony when he was asked if he could exonerate the president (he said NO)...or when he was asked if he would charge the president once he left Office (he said YES)...or when Mueller stated that if he was confident that the president committed no violations, he would have stated so.

    Repub Senators want to be re-elected by their Trump-loving voters...and they also don't want to lose their big name donors. Plus, Nunes & possibly others may be implicated in Trump's Ukraine "drug deal".

    Yep...dictators never care what anyone else thinks, and they also shut down any dissenting media sources (which is what Trump stated several times he'd like to do).

    So we have a government beholden to the majority of the citizens? Excellent.

    You just got finished saying how the senators are beholden to their constituents and now there's a dictator?

    I don't think you're thinking clearly.

    * Getting re-elected is more important than doing what's best for the people? Hmm...OK

    * You didn't mention not wanting to lose their donors.

    * You didn't mention Nunes, McConnell & possibly others being implicated.

    If you didn't understand the very simple point I was making, then perhaps it is you that isn't thinking clearly.
