Republicans have no understanding of real policy ideas. Democrats do.

[Oldstyle]

Are you saying all Democrats support those policies listed? Or just Hillary's promises?

I'm saying democratic leaders push those ideas.

Single question ----- how do you (the collective you - I know how democrats love the word 'collective') propose to pay for that list?

Answer that for each item - and we'll talk.

It's interesting how you ask that when you know any spending program proposed by republcans is NEVER paid for. Cutting defense spending could easily pay for most of those. Closing tax loopholes taken advantage by corporations would pay for a lot as well. 2/3 of all corporations pay no federal income taxes because of loopholes. That essentially makes the official rate of 35% a complete joke. It's the EFFECTIVE tax rate that matters.

2/3rds of all US corporations pay no Federal income taxes? Really, Billy? I'd like to see a link on that glaring overstatement!

 

[Oldstyle]

They're the dumbest people of our society! They're just anti-government as they think living in the goddamn wild west sounds really cool.


Anti-government savage is like the isis!!! Anti-science, Anti-education and anti-logic piece of crap. May they all move to Somalia, god fucking willing. maybe they'll learn that it isn't all peaches and cream this idea of abolishing the goddamn government is played up to be!

If you don't want to pay taxes for the road you drive on or 50 million other things. GET THE HELL OUT!!! SERIOUSLY!

Ah, Matt? We've been paying taxes all along to fix the roads we drive on. You pay a rather substantial tax on every gallon of gas you buy that was supposed to go towards fixing the roads and bridges of America. Part of the problem is the politicians we sent to Washington decided to divert that money to pay for OTHER more glamorous things like bike trails and mass transit systems. So now Washington is telling everyone that we need to put you the taxpayer further in debt because we spent the money you already gave us on other stuff instead of fixing roads and bridges! I don't mind paying taxes for things that I use to be maintained but please stop with the name calling because I don't want to pony up that money twice!

Ah facts. Too easy of a tool to reduce you asshats to rubble.

Corporate Income Tax: Most Large Profitable U.S. Corporations Paid Tax but Effective Tax Rates Differed Significantly from the Statutory Rate

In each year from 2006 to 2012, at least two-thirds of all active corporations had no federal income tax liability. Larger corporations were more likely to owe tax. Among large corporations (generally those with at least $10 million in assets) less than half—42.3 percent—paid no federal income tax in 2012. Of those large corporations whose financial statements reported a profit, 19.5 percent paid no federal income tax that year. Reasons why even profitable corporations may have paid no federal tax in a given year include the use of tax deductions for losses carried forward from prior years and tax incentives, such as depreciation allowances that are more generous in the federal tax code than those allowed for financial accounting purposes. Corporations that did have a federal corporate income tax liability for tax year 2012 owed $267.5 billion.

Oh I should huh? I should feel "honored" that you were too stupid to come up with an original thought so you post a cartoon video?

 

[Anathema]

Democrats push for:

1) Investing in fixing roads and bridges
2) Making healthcare more affordable
3) Raising the minimum wage
4) Mitigating the effects of climate change
5) Keeping big money out of politics
6) Regulations targeting products of human consumption (consumer advocacy)
7) Tax cuts for the middle class
8) Extending the eligibility of over time pay for workers
9) Raising taxes to reduce the deficit
10) LGBT rights advocacy
11) Feminist issues
12) Making college more affordable
13) Targeting Wall Street crime
14) Gun control

........Now let's examine republican policy

1) Giving tax breaks to the top earners (which ONLY helps them)
2) Deregulation
3) Limiting LGBT rights
4) Limiting women's right
5) No to ObamaCare
6) Getting rid of porn(RNC), sex toys (Ted Cruz)

Once again we must ask: why would anyone not in the 1% vote republican?

Let's start with thus.... only 3 of those Democrat ideas are Constitutional and #1 is only so for Interstate transit and Government facilities.

On the other hand only 1 of the Republican ideas is unconstitutional. (#1)

 

[tyroneweaver]

The truth of the matter must be that republican voters have no earthly understanding what they are voting for.

Typical generalization.
I was born and raised in Utah, Now live in Idaho. The 2 most conservative states in the union.
Now tell me einstein where is all this chaos you speak of taking place?
We didn't vote for refugees that are attacking our citizens here. You put em here, and there ain't a dang thing we can do about it..
I notice they weren't put in your hood. You libs aren't taking them into your households either.
At least we're honest and say we don't want em.
You play closest racist and keep em out of your hood and homes.

Oooooh --- now THAT really made me sit up and rethink my whole philosophy.

Ok, I'm all done ... you're still a dumb ass who can't put 4 words together in a coherent and cogent response. Instead, you have to rant and rave and pretend that volume masks ignorance ...

It doesn't.

And yet they still outsource jobs and bring in cheap labor. Along with buying out all the small competition!

No wonder our middle class is dying.

Ok so since you like to think you're this totally self-sufficient, manly conservative, does that mean you always feel shitty when you drive on public roads? No of course you don't. You don't even understand what government spending actually entails. In your Fox News world, "government spending" is dirty, evil socialism! It must be destroyed!

because they're greedy...A higher profit margin. Same as why they buy out all the small competition and offshore. It isn't like they have too but they do so because they're greedy.

Why wouldn't he drive on those roads, Billy? He paid for them! The gasoline tax was originally put in place to pay for the Interstate highway system. We've been paying it ever since Ike was in the White House! This constant refrain from liberals that more taxes are going to fix everything is getting stupid. Washington already gets plenty of money...they just spend it like freaking morons.

 

[Siete]

I know, give the top 1% tax breaks and let them fix the roads..

 

[ScienceRocks]

Nah, raise their taxes and close the loop holes. Give the middle class a big tax cut and enforce our anti-trust laws.

Watch the middle class start creating that competition. Once this occurs = big growth.

 

[Sbiker]

When I say choice in policy, I mean the difference in numbers of policy positions.

Democrats push for:

1) Investing in fixing roads and bridges
2) Making healthcare more affordable

5) Keeping big money out of politics
6) Regulations targeting products of human consumption (consumer advocacy)

9) Raising taxes to reduce the deficit
10) LGBT rights advocacy
11) Feminist issues
12) Making college more affordable
13) Targeting Wall Street crime
14) Gun control

The list doesn't even stop there. There's even more ideas than that.

Now let's examine republican policy

1) Giving tax breaks to the top earners (which ONLY helps them)
2) Deregulation
3) Limiting LGBT rights
4) Limiting women's right
5) No to ObamaCare
6) Getting rid of porn(RNC), sex toys (Ted Cruz)

Okay that's 14 to 6 in the number of policy ideas. Now keep in mind that 5 of those republican policies are not pro-active ideas. They are just policies that say "No" to something rather than policies expressing new solutions.

You can hate the democratic ideas all you want, but at least they are proactive ideas that outnumber the list in the republican platform.

Once again we must ask: why would anyone not in the 1% vote republican?

Do you really believe in promises of people, who don't know difference between "reload" and "overload"? Are you really sure, they really understand, what they promise? ))

What you call "greed", Matthew is what drives Capitalism! Henry Ford didn't invent the Model T because he was a generous and giving man...he built that car to make MONEY!!! In the process he became very wealthy but he also created good paying jobs for tens of thousands of other people. Edison didn't invent all of the things he did for free. He patented his inventions and became very wealthy. He also created jobs for tens of thousands of people.
