USA is one of very few nations where the poor people are fat

[WaitingFor2020]

Trump is very fat and he's neither poor nor a minority.
Now this stupid thread has a reason to be in the Politics section.

He eats a lot of cake they say and mainly steak and french fries and quite a bit of fast food. I was hoping a businessman would be good for the country but he appears to be a brainwashed idiot like his followers.

Do you have any actual evidence to support these claims? Americans were wealthier than the people of any other country.

You have to go back to the time of all that to get more inequality then we have right now. Great job! Read a paper change the channel

Apparently you believe there's some kind of intelligle idea in that mess.

After 35 years of the new b******* GOP and Chumps like you, we have finally recaptured the Injustice and inequality of the 1890's and early 1900s. Great job GOP!

What "injustice?"

Teddy Roosevelt at the time said that 12 hour days 6 days a week was communistic. Ever heard of child labor? Read something please lol

In those days children had to work or they starved. That wasn't because some nasty wealthy people refused to give them food. It was because the economy was much less productive in those days. Every member of the family had to work. That's how things had always been since the stone age. Only labor saving machinery developed by the people you call "robber barons" made the economy productive enough to where only one member of the family could support the rest.

Henry Ford created the 40 hour work week. He's one of the people you label "robber barons."

Because that's the way it worked when America was great in the 50s 60s and 70s.... All the new b******* GOP can do is cut taxes on the rich they are totally bought off and you are brainwashed.

No, you are brainwashed. This new tax plans target is lower income Americans. Not only does it increase medical tax deductions, they also kept alternative energy write-offs for nonsense like electric cars. They increased the tax deduction for children and kept the ability to write-off school loan interest. Mortgage interest deductions stay the same unless you buy a home over 750K after the law is passed. Even still, you can write-off the first 750K interest.

Lower corporate taxes means the likelihood of jobs staying in the US. Lowering the capital gains taxes encourages investments such as the stock market which are hitting new records all the time since Trump took over.

It would probably help you sleep better at night worrying about what you have instead of what others have.

Corp owners and big capital gains recipients are generally very rich people and often don't really do anything (that's mostly for the capital gains people). You can talk all you want about encouraging investments, but the bottom line is that capital gains is money they get for nothing. Money for nothing is money for nothing no matter how much it's taxed.

making money in trade for risking your money in an investment in a company is not for nothing. You are risking loosing your stake in return for that income.

I guess we should lower taxes on not just capital gains, but also gambling winnings in Vegas. All those hard workers...

Only a total moron would compare gambling with stock trading. If you are doing it without your proper research then yes it's a gamble and you won't be making any money to be taxed.

Clearly, you don’t understand how equity markets function.

The point is they're not "working." They're betting. Some rich people even have the brokers do it for them. Who gives a shit if those rich, worthless layabouts pay a little more tax?

Thats funny to me...and also peculiar to at least one Indian, apparently...

“A friend from India told me that a countryman of his said: ‘I want to go to America. I want to see a country where poor people are fat.’”

That's because unhealthy food is cheaper than healthier food. You can get a McDonald's meal cheaper than fruits and vegetables.

You can live on McDonald's as long as you don't OVEReat. It's about calories in and calories out.

That is extremely unhealthy to eat just eat McDonald's extremely unhealthy LOL

You can eat at McDonald's.

The insurance companies

So they enjoy being regulated for the first time and their profits regulated for the first time? You are misinformed, dupe.

Insurance company profits are not regulated, Idiot.

As Obamacare twists in political winds, top insurers profits surge nearly 30 percent

yeah and you want to help them all so much that you want to take other peoples's money to do it

America was great when the richest where paying 80 90% on there biggest money... Silly dupes

You do realize that when the top rate was 90% that the bottom rate was 20% not 10% and that a person making 40K a year was in the 50% bracket and there were no refundable tax credits or tax credits for buying certain cars or tax deductions for tuition etc don't you?

Silly question, Of course you don't.

You do realize that 40000 was equivalent to 200,000 today...

Doesn't matter. If you want those high tax rates from the past then you will actually have to pay taxes.

Everyone pays taxes Dupe including the poorest who pay on the average about 18% while the richest pay on the average 28%...

INCOME TAXES.

man you have the memory of a goldfish.

People like you who pay no federal income taxes do not pay 18% of your gross income in taxes.

ANd you even admit the so called rich pay more than you but you're still whining
