And that has what to do with the United States ?

The rich are not going to leave...taxes are higher on them in all real countries...

I didn’t say they would leave, I said they’d turn their backs on the dems.

.taxes are higher on them in all real countries...

That’s great for those countries, again, what relevance does that have to what we do in the U.S.? There are a lot of things they do that we don’t. There are a lot of differences in the economies, tax structures, governments, social structures..

Just saying that other countries have higher taxes doesn’t necessarily mean the U.S. should too.

They tax the rich so they have cheap and free college and training and we're losing to them. And of course healthcare living wage daycare GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND VACATIONS. BECAUSE THEY DON'T TAKE CRAP.
THE RICH DAMMIT

[Rumpole]

Correct.

NO raping children,

yeah, right

NO cutting the dicks off of 6-year olds,

Not happening

NO late-term abortions,

Only when mother's life is endanger.

NO stealing elections,

Trump tried to subvert the 2020 election. Not dems.

NO useless fucking wars,

Historically speaking, war has been bipartisan.

NO open border

No president in history has cured teh border problem

and absolutely

NO deep state shadow govt....

But I digress....

There is no deep state.

but there is a shadow gov in the military industrial complex funding black projects (reverse engineering UAPs, etc) off budget which is unconstitutional. But Trump's 'deep state' is a myth.

The greatest trick the GOP has accomplished is convincing poor dumb hicks that anything that doesn’t support the rich grabbing all the wealth is socialism.

Basically the GOP repackaged trickle down economics into a faux anti-socialist campaign and sadly the ignorant bought in.

Red states suckle the government teet while blue states provide the milk. We should call their bluff.

Social security is bad. Medicare must be cut. Unions bad. Good wages for me but not so much for thee. Maternity leave unfair. Auto workers making $50 per hour? That's outrageous. We can't have that. 6 weeks paid vacation? That's too much.

Anything that might help workers is fought. Why?

You say all that sarcastically and yet you remain a Republican. And one who claims to not like Trump

Makes no sense

Not a republican. Not a Democrat. They represent the wealthy first and foremost. But when I hear someone e speak about american exceptionalism I think of social security and Medicare. They in a big way make Aamerica exceptional.

But you vote Republican, hate liberals, and support Trump

Makes no sense

 

[Burgermeister]

Stupid ideas don't need alternatives other than "no".

Ummm, I didn't vote in the last election. I don't see the point. I don't see either party talking about two programs that help in a huge way make america exceptionsl.

Say what you want about democrats, but at least they have a VARIETY of policies for many issues.

Republicans just say no and offer no real alternatives. Remember the utter failure in repealing ACA? It really should bother republican voters that when it comes to issues like economics, they don’t have much to offer besides “no”. Let’s list all the non “no” economic polices:

1) Lower taxes on the wealthy and corporations

2) Deregulation

….and that’s it.

It’s made all the more worse because these policies do not do jack shit. It’s a myth that regulations cause significant harm to the economy. Lowering taxes on corporations and the wealthy is utterly useless for anyone but rich people. Why would corporations bother investing the money they save from tax cuts into labor if it’s easier for them to just keep it? Keep in mind that corporate profits are already at an all time high. Supply side economics is useless as far as American policy goes. All they have to do is wait for the next tax cut.

I mean I get it. You all hate “woke” shit, but it really should bother you that is considered some top issue in America.

Conservatives: vote third party or don’t vote at all. Surely that makes sense.

Corporate profits hit record high in third quarter amid 40-year-high inflation

Corporate profits in the nonfinancial sector hit a record high of $2.08 trillion in the third quarter even as 40-year-high inflation continues to squeeze American consumers. Profits adjusted for in…

Does Regulation Kill Jobs?

The present GOP/MAGA economic policy doesn't work and you just have to look around the world. The most advanced economies in the world are to the left of America and GOP is trying to push it even further Right..

So the only first world countries on the same level US is Japan and they are very different society than US and I don't think US GOP are pointing at Japan.

Democrats would be Center-Right here...

GOP/MAGA economic policies is about not investing in the country. It is about short term gain of tax cuts over long term success like investing in Education and Infrastructure... GOP/MAGA just see a national debt and don't understand that the Government can own stuff to counterbalance that...

Here is a small example... Red states like to say New York is state debt is $368bn. But the New York MTA has assets over a Trillion dollars... Now they could sell MTA assets but that would be far more detrimental to New Yorkers.
GOP/MAGA is about living homeless rather having a home and paying a mortgage..

Yes, no WAR!

And tell which war Biden started?

 

[JWBooth]

We mustn’t forget that the Republican Party is the party of “no”​

If only that were true.

That was my thought, reading the topic. Every time I see some thread warning that Republicans will repeal ACA, or get rid of Social Security, etc, etc.... I'm like - maybe then I'd vote for them.

Instead, we get culture war meddling.

 

[JWBooth]

'Cause if it were, I'd start voting for them again. Something I haven't done since 2002.

He had a hand in Ukraine, and Israel by funding the assholes who shoot the guns.

We know you're a moron, but try and keep up.
