What You See Is What Republicans Don't Want You To Get

[whitehall]

no, you do not want a rational leader at all. ever hear you guy talk about windmills? or toilets?

"Hear you guy"? Windmills and toilets? Are we speaking the same language?

 

[BluesLegend]

That stellar US economy is all Biden's doing.

Has my vote for biggest Dem lie told today. Dems have to lie, otherwise there would be no Dems.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Biden can't spend money. Only Congress can.

There are no bills from illegals. No money can legally be given to them. It would all be charitable. In fact if you put those people to work, GDP increases along with tax revenue. Immigration is a net gain.

The tax cuts given to the rich, first by Reagan, then Bush, then Trump, is the total sum of the national debt. Normal spending the country does every year in the budget, has nothing to do with it.

When you cut taxes on the rich, and corporations, that used to pay 65% of all taxes in aggregate, and is no longer the case. The money in lost revenue that would pay for normal anual spending, now has to be borrowed, and paid back with interest.

Cutting normal anual budget spending solves nothing. If you cut the entire budget, you solve nothing. If you deported evey illegal tomorrow, you solve nothing.

Want to get rid of the debt, and unnecessary spending?

Get rid of the Reagan, Bush, Trump, trickledown tax cuts, and both go away. You're not going to get it from the working class or the poor.

Eliminate all tax payer subsidies to any corporation, for any reason.

Freeze the bloated, immoral military budget.

Raise the income limit, and include capital gains, on Social Security, and Medicare.

Impose a 1 cent per Waal St. transaction every day.

We would be in surplus in about 5 years.

The problem you have is Libertarian billionaires that think they are entitled to privatize the government that is all of us, and force us to pay them for everything.

Which you can add to the to do list. Round up, and hang all of the Libertarian billionaires, and seize all of their assets. Perfectly doable. Nothing radical about it.

Anybody that believes for a minute that any benefit the working class and poor get from normal government spending is the problem, is a complete moron, that shouldnt be commenting on anything economy.

Why is it always “tax more” and not “spend less”?

Let’s say dems get their way and get the wealth tax. Now what? Do you think that’s going to help anyone? When government gets that money, they’ll say “oh look, we have more money, let’s spend more by creating new programs and bureaucracies. In a few years they’ll be back to saying “we need to increase taxes! We need more money”.

You can only tax so much. The answer is to cut spending, not tax more.

Besides, the wealth tax won’t make a dent in our deficit, the whole idea of “this will only affect millionaires” will last a coupon short years, then they’ll be saying “well, we need to lower that to people making $500,000…and then $200,000, and then “we need everyone to chip in their fair share”

That’s like the capital gains tax…they want to tax people for money they don’t actually have access to.

We need to stop this, or it will never end.

 

[Woodznutz]

Freeze the bloated, immoral military budget.

Better to reduce the health budget.

The poor and working class are the people that are sucking the nation dry.

It’s easy to see when someone does something that benefits us, but sometimes we neglect to take note of those who tried to stop that good stuff from happening.

That’s glaringly apparent when we look at the U.S. Congress where, for the most part, Democrats promote policies that help people, while Republicans oppose them because they’re counterproductive to their pro-rich, anti-poor-and-middle-class agenda.

President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill passed the House by a vote of 228-206, but it would’ve died without the help of some Republicans. Six Democrats voted against the bill, but 13 Republicans backed it, allowing the measure to make the 218-vote threshold needed for passage.

Still, 200 Republicans voted against it. The tally for Senate approval was 69-30.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act passed 220-207 in the House and 51-50 in the Senate (with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote), both times along party lines.

The question now is: Will Democrats be able to craft effective messaging on the Republican efforts to styme things that benefit both individuals and their communities? Will GOP cries of “socialism,” “socialist Democrats,” “extremist Democrats,” and whatever else they can think of be seen by enough people as so much Right-wing bullshit.

I don’t know the answer to those questions, but I do know that it never hurts to show the various constituencies the real consequences of their elected officials’ votes.

And MAGA only thinks they have abortion, healthcare, and guns to deal with. The list is long magatards, and it's only February.

What have Democrats done to improve anyone's lives? What has benefited the citizen?

 

[GMCGeneral]

Actually they do. The literal meaning.

The governed only do so with the consent of the governed. In a government that is the people.

FDR was popularly elected four times by the people, precisely because of the New Deal policies he put forward, based precisely because of that Constitutional basis.

Those policies are still just as popular, and relevant today.

The largest economic expansion in the history of the country occurred between 1948-1975.

The national debt was $400 bIllion.

The top tax margins were avoided because companies reinvested into the company, which paid for employees pensions. It was illegal for a company to buy back it's own stock.

The country, as well as the companies, and their shareholders were doing just fine.

What changed?

The Reagan tax cuts, the increase of military spending, the repeal of anti trust laws.

The debt and deficit quadrupled in one year.

With those same policies in place for the last 40 years, the debt has now ballooned to $32 trillion, the military budget is over $1 Trillion now, because of the aid to Israel, which isn't aid to Israel, but backdoor money that goes to the military R&D done out of sight of the American tax payers. Which is another thread, and there are motions in place to end that permanently. Fuck Israel.

The American working class want their money back that was stolen from them. And we're going to take it.

Wrong answer numbnuts. FDR was a traitorous piece of shit Communist just like his uncle Teddy. Leon Czolgocz shot the wrong Republican.

The freaking Country is falling apart. It took Biden three years to visit the site of a (preventable) train disaster that happened on his watch. Secret spending bills with hidden agendas are a dime a dozen with the current regime. All republicans want is an honest government led by a rational leader.

I agree with alot except the last sentence. What they want is a low wage workforce as they believe american corporations should have access to a labor force.

Spoken like a true communist.

The world economy kind of sucks, yet the US economy is pretty stellar.

That stellar US economy is all Biden's doing.

*Requires a closer look.

So stiff the people working and barely hanging on. So.ehow they are a problem?

Crime, disease, ignorance are largely problems of the lower class that taxpayers have to foot the bill for (the lower classes pay no taxes).

 

[Woodznutz]

So stiff the people working and barely hanging on. So.ehow they are a problem?

Most working people go through tough times when first starting out (been there, done that). It's all part of life.

And MAGA only thinks they have abortion, healthcare, and guns to deal with. The list is long magatards, and it's only February.

Reps like small gov, low taxes for the rich and to make it hard for IM2 to vote. Did you ever hear about our deficit OP? Reps keep a slight lid on it. Who knows where it would be without the reps?

Sure, it would be nice if the reps did 'some things, for some people,' but they are idiots. If they get back in, they will lower taxes for the rich, try to legalize silencers and fail again and continue to try and make it harder for IM2 to vote. And they will continue to lose America to the commie dems. Really it is too late to recover America as we had known it. The only thing that can be done is to form a conservative union of states that is governed by America first policies.

Instead of squandering hundreds of billions of dollars, our useless politicians could have given us a cheap, socialized healthcare plan; alongside with the standard healthcare we have in America. (The rich don't want socialized healthcare and the average person can't afford the system we have...so we need 2 systems.)

People that can't afford America's unaffordable healthcare could get their appendix out before it bursts. If they need a heart transplant, then go work 3 jobs and save up for 6 years to pay for it. The socialized plan would be for basics to keep it viable. But the American healthcare system is so greedy they don't want to lose a penny and would never accept a 2nd option. Plus, our politicians are absolute nincompoops and could never run a socialized healthcare system anyway.

Government (elected) only cares about,

1. Getting reelected.
2. Getting rich.

Once elected they are content to let the bureaucracies and agencies run the country while they concentrate on their personal careers. Or in the case of the Democrats, ruining the country.
