He at least respects Obama... He thinks Trump is a child...

Ha! China didn't respect failed former President Barack Hussein Obama if anything they pitied him because he was so easy to manipulate to their wishes.

As for President Trump, he is succeeding in his negotiations for far better trade with China than any of the prior presidents.

I realize that this is an enormous disappointment to you and gives rise to the desperation Progressives are now demonstrating.

Franco and the other uninformed Progressives here believe we could solve all our problems if we only went back to the tax rate of fifty years ago. Those during the Kennedy years which he decreased from 91 percent to 70 percent. If that's what Progressives want, then, of course, we'd have to adjust for inflation and restore all the deductions which were allowed at that time. Only fair right?

I have done this before but from (1963). It will do for our purposes. Anyone (a single person) earning $4,000 per year or less paid income tax at the rate of 20%. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $31,800.00 per year. That translates to everyone earning LESS THAN $31,800 PER YEAR WOULD PAY 20% INCOME TAX. Gosh, that sure would eliminate that 48% that pay no income tax today! Way to go!

As for the top rate of your beloved 91% in 1963, that was paid by those earning over $400,000.00 Adjusted for inflation, that would be $3,186,770.00 today. Do you want to tell us that 1% of the nation earns of 3.2 MILLION PER YEAR? Really?

In the same year, employees paid 3.625% for Social Security and the employer paid nothing. Not quite the 15.2% of today.

Now, do you really want to go back to those rates? Are you aware of the long, long list of deductions in 1963? All interest on everything and the list goes on.

socialism isn't killing millions a day either.

See North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

To everyone outside the GOP bubble of ignorance and Hate, they are communist. O Venezuela is it third world country that has been destroyed by low oil prices, corruption forever, and Oligarch and the GOP sabotage and sanctions... Holds no lessons for any modern country, only for brainwashed ignoramuses...

We have a Congress; why do we have any problems in our Republic. They have the power to Tax.

We have a Congress....the very reason we have problems in our Republic. They misuse and abuse their power.

why is that? they can appropriate funds for an entire Congressional Budget Office.

At what point does someone become an evil rich douche? What is the magic number? Let's say a teacher earns 30k. Is he or she evil and greedy? What if two teachers get married? 60k. Evil and Greedy? What about mechanics, construction workers, accountants? What is the magic evil, greedy, douche threshold? I'm guessing it is anyone who has a job.

Anyone have a clue on this tripe???

I should have said greedy idiot GOP rich, that's the difference. Democrat Rich are fine, they want to pay more in Taxes and invest in Americans and America for a change...

I find it troubling that someone in the middle class would voluntarily give their hard earnings to the government for solar panels, illegal aliens, and electric cars.

Who said anything about the middle class pay more in taxes, super duper? Democrats have been for tax cuts for the middle class and working class forever, but taxing the rich more. The rich are incredibly bloated and we don't have enough investment in America and Americans for 35 years now. Snap out of it.

Actually the worker in this country wages have gone down since 81 and in 81 business made 200 billion in profits and 45 years later the worker is making less but business now make over 2 trillion a year in profit all going to the golden few. Exactly they way the right planned it to be and exactly the way they want to keep it. They simple have to go. This country has to get rid of this right wing group of haters and let another conservative group that has a heart and cares about someone other then themselves create a new conservative party, this one is dead anyway.

Conservatives have had their way for 35 years and all we have gotten is the worst inequality and upward Mobility ever and in the modern world, and ridiculously rich 0.1% and 1%. Having Democrats in with real control for the first time since LBJ is what the country desperately needs...

The middle class reached it's apex in 1970, dumb ass. The controllers of the monetary system decide whom the winners and losers are. The controllers hijacked the leftard clown posse party right around that time and it ain't no coincidence that the decline of the middle class started. Poor people are easier to control, leave less of a carbon footprint and if they have to depend on "da gubermint", they will forfeit independence because he that pays the piper picks the tune.

You are an ignorant little sack of commie shit.......but I knew that over two years ago when you poked your nose into this forum.

Actually 1982 in most ways. True 1970 was when Nixon's destruction of the Great Society started affecting people.

The Single Biggest Weakness of the Constitution:

It's actually conflict of interest for the poor to be voting since they are merely voting for money (democracy as theft) in their pockets rather than for the commonweal. This points to what turns out to be the biggest weakness of the Constitution. It has no conceptual arguments. It should say, for example, you have to be 35 years old to be president and to vote to insure you have enough wisdom and experience. Similarly, the 10th Amendment should clearly say liberal central govt is illegal in America because monopolistic liberal central govt has been the source of evil in human history. Without conceptual arguments the Constitution has little meaning.Liberals can turn it into a living communist Constitution. If the concept of the 10th Amendment had been as clear as the percept of the Second Amendment America would be sitting pretty today instead of staring down the barrel of Sanders, Warren, Waters, Booker, Ocasio-Cortez communist gun.

The single weakness of the Constitution is the childlike presumption that men are going to obey the laws that they profess to adhere to, and want everyone else to knuckle under to.

Didn't take but until the Whiskey Rebellion -didn't even make it through one prez- before that rag got disregarded.

Thank God for the Constitution, protects us from fake Patriots like most GOP voters...

You worship the duopoly who shits on the constitution daily.
Take your welfare check and go buy some awareness, dumbfuck.

I am still a happily retired businessman and teacher, and you are still wrong about everything, super duper.

Only absolute morons believe anything Hitler said, absolute moron.

Nobody realized that emails were such a problem until the Russians hacked the DNC and podesta servers and our stupid media blew it up into something meaningful. Hillary still would have been all right until big mouth Republican James Comey broke all protocol 10 days before the election.

Another very important factor here is that Murica had the only functioning large-scale industrial economy on the planet until the late '60s-early '70s, because the rest of the globe had been bombed back to pre-industriial times in WWII.

You can get away with a lot of economic and political foolhardiness when you have a near monopoly on industrial production.

Why not believe Hitler when he obviously was not for capitalism?? HItler Stalin Mao Pol Pot FDR Castro Maduro had different takes on socialism because Marx did not leave them a specific blueprint but all were mad dog liberal socialists opposed the basic principle of America.

. True 1970 was when Nixon's destruction of the Great Society started affecting people.

Great Society attacked and destroyed love and family in the black community. Let's not that pretent that is a good thing.

Actually, super duper, Hitler had no problem with capitalism as long as they weren't Jewish or in opposition in which case off with their heads... Capitalists did very well under Hitler and of course he had no interest. in disrupting small scale independent businesses unless ditto.

Socialism in the last 40-80 years has always been defined as Democratic to start with, super duper, accepting Cold War dinosaur GOP dupe world.. Also an easy way to tell the difference between it and communism and Nazism.

100% TRUE!

The War on Poverty and Great Society destroyed what was once one of our strongest family units, the black family unit. The sad result is what we are left with today.

Actually I have a masters in history with a concentration in 20th century up until World War II. Do you have any argument with what I say? Hitler's Germany economy was a scam. So in debt they had to go to war.

As far as the Volkswagen goes, it was built by daf the giant Nazi labor union and very few were sold before the War started.
