The thing is 40, with a GOP house, a GOP Senate and the GOP running the White House, you would have gotten your tax cut had you actually elected someone who represented the family values you claim to support. You didn't have to elect an azzhat to accomplish that. lmao

Yes we had a pretty good conversation about how the tax cuts ignored small businesses while lining the pockets of corporations and the sad state of affairs of healthcare in our nation.
That's why it's so hard to operate like some kind of robot and walk the chalk line of either party. Each side seems to pick and choose who they wish to help and who they wish to ignore. People in your situation often end up with neither party really looking out for their interests.

It’s difficult for you to care about anything because you willingly participate in a system that has oppressed black people since the end of slavery.
It’s beyond hilarious watching a cop talk against black people and oppression.
Let me know when you get your medal for shooting an unarmed 12 year old black kid. Y’all cops ain’t got a problem doing that, yet when white boys shoot up churches and schools, y’all tuck your tail inbetween your legs and take the shooters to Burger King.
And that about sums u up right there ... 100% ...
I feel sorry for U ... but its your daughters that i really feel sorry for ...

I feel for sorry for them too. they live in world with guys like you who donates money to racist and supports pedophiles, who are also scared of people who look like my daughters.
hope my daughters don't scare you from going to times square again. those 7-9 year old colored girls are always up to no good in Diams world.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

What candidate was that Pit? ... it certainly wasn’t the wench or Bernie ... so witch one of the republican candidates was it sir that was talking about anything remotely close to what the trumpster just passed? ....
Good Luck with that one dude ... sometimes its best to actually think a statement through before posting it ... THINKING is a lost art ...
Hey, I'm just saying man. Every one of those guys wanted to give tax breaks. I believe it was Rand Paul that wanted a flat tax that would have cut personal taxes more than anyone.
Trump just yelled the loudest and called everyone else names. I mean hey, if that's what you want in a president that's fine. But 40 wants to pretend that Trump is doing things the rest of them weren't willing to do. Cutting regulations and lowering taxes is something damned near every Republican runs on.
I'm not trying to say there's anything wrong with that. But having someone who acts like he's somewhere close to normal wouldn't be a bad look.

None of them would even come close to the campaign promises trump made ... much less kept it ...
And he KEPT THAT ONE ...
Your correct about Paul .. but that was just the individual tax cuts .. the NO-BRAINER on this one ... was the corporate tax cuts ... the LONG OVERDUE CORP. TAX CUTS ...
It amazes me when some of your peeps cry ... TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS DON’T WORK ... just shows how little they actually know about economics and our economy ...
I’m not going to argue weather it worked under Regan ... why u may ask .. cause its IRRELIVENT ... our economy and the global economy looks NOTHING LIKE IT DID IN THE 80’S ... throwing around blanket statements like “trickle down” doesn’t work just shows ignorance to whats happened over the last 30 years in this country and globally ...
We needed to and still need to bring jobs back ... its not ROCKET SCIENCE .. its not really that hard ... WE NEED JOBS ... taxing companies out is just another strike against us ... and were in a hard enough place as it is with the crappy ass trade deals, cheap labor and the unfair playing field when it comes to environmental regs ...
A socialist student group at California State University, Fullerton held a protest Wednesday against a memorial to fallen police officers hosted by the College Republicans for Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
CR members expressed disappointment that the socialist group would seek to politicize the event, which was also designed to give students the opportunity to interact with campus police officers in a non-confrontational setting.
A memorial honoring law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty was met with protest from a socialist student group at California State University, Fullerton this week.
According to a press release put out by the CSUF College Republicans, members of Students for Quality Education (SQE), a socialist group funded by the California Faculty Association, stood fifty feet from the memorial and handed out flyers that read, “Why Blue Lives Matter Is Problematic” and “Black and Brown civilians do not want to place police lives on a sacrificial pyre in exchange for their own.”

As part of the event marking Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, the CR members encouraged students to place ribbons with names of fallen officers on a wooden frame, and invited them to write thank you messages on sticky notes to post on a police car that was parked nearby.
The students later attached the notes to a pin board and gifted it to the University Police Department.
CR Event Coordinator Hansol Suh said he was appalled by SQE’s attempt to politicize the event.
“The purpose of our event is to remember fallen officers who have died protecting the community,” said Suh. “We honor and respect those we consider heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I’m shocked and disturbed that this event would be politicized as anything other than a memorial for the fallen.”
The CR press release acknowledges that the socialist students have the right to a peaceful protest, but expresses disappointment in the manner with which SQE members conducted themselves.
“Although we recognize the right to peacefully protest, we are disappointed that a memorial to honor fallen officers was met with such animosity,” the group states. “However, the event was a huge success and we appreciate everyone who came out to thank our campus police, as well as commemorate the sacrifices made by our country's fallen heroes.”

In a statement to Campus Reform, CSUF said that while it does not comment on the activities of clubs on campus, the university does support the freedom of expression of student groups.
“As a practice, the university does not comment on extracurricular activities of our clubs,” a university spokesperson said. “We do, however, support the freedom of expression and the ability of our many student groups to host events on campus.”
Campus Reform reached out to SQE for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
This site is great. I know of none that better documents the liberal lunacy that is so prevalent on college campuses today. https://www.campusreform.org
You do realize that the effective corporate tax rate before the tax cuts was only around 17% to 18%, right? I mean they stated the standard rate of 35% to make it SOUND like they were being taxed to death, but you do know that's not what they were actually paying, right? And you do know many corporations were setting record profits before the tax cuts, right?
Some of my peeps? You mean those who want our immigration laws enforced?
Some of my peeps? You mean the ones who stand strong for the second amendment?
I'm not sure who you think my peeps are.

Swish, OCD, Perfect, Clem ... folks like them ... thier your peeps ...
I’m not even sure what u mean when u say our corp. tax rate was really only 17 or 18% before the tax cuts because thats what the corp’s actually paid ... i’m not really sure what that means so i can’t respond to it ... if u want a response to that portion please explain it better ... use a 100 profit and show me exactly what u mean ... then i can rip it apart ..
What i do know is that HUNDREDS of corp’s are now bringing back money they’ve held overseas ... they’ve started to re-invest in Murica ...
If nothing “really changed” then please explain the timing of these GREAT THINGS ...
I notice you’ve IGNORED a lot of what we were discussing ... gee, i wonder why ... ...

Just because you are universally despised on this website, doesn't mean there is some 'team.'
Sometimes, people from all walks of life simply react the same way when they confront the resident punch bowl turd.
Popular much? -Didn't think so.
I find it funny how those who speak of others being universally despised are always from the same side of the isle as those who call Troll every time they hear a conservative give an opinion they don't like.
Diam, no you are not universally despised. What I believe Pit was referring to, is the fact that despite the standard corporate tax rate of 35%, SOME companies pay much less than that. He is making the common mistake of applying a few examples to a whole group.
Companies employ accountants to find deductions, many of which are for infrastructure investments which lead to jobs, of which a large number are provided by corporations.
Swish, OCD, Perfect, Clem ... folks like them ... thier your peeps ...
I'm like them. I have had times where I have agreed with each and every one of them.. I've also had some heated disagreements with all of them.. I still consider them my peeps.. they are all also concerned Americans who want better in their community, their country, and their world.. and anybody who thinks like that can be on my team. We can work out the details of how to get that done amongst ourselves.

I'm a child of the late 70s and early 80s bro.... I can't hate disco.
Well I do hate Disco but I don't hate anyone on this forum =)
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.
I thought you understood taxes a little better but here's a simple explanation.
The stated tax rate is what you would pay BEFORE deductions on your income.
The effective tax rate is what you actually end up paying in taxes.
35% is what the stated rate for corporations was. That sounds awful. 17% to 18% is the actual rate that was paid on average after deductions by corporations.
In case you missed it, I haven't actually railed against the tax cuts that much. Of course when you try to act like there are only two groups of people in the world that can escape you sometimes.
I do however think it could have easily been divided among the people a little more and a little less towards business. When people have expendable income they spend that money which also helps stimulate business and economic growth.
When you think like this, you miss all the subtle shades of gray in the middle. Sad really....

Nelson to OldCold - If you are so totally bereft of intelligent and/or original thought that the best you can do is a random persons meanderings on somebody else's picture, just announce it plainly and save others the time wasted in conversing with you.
I don't typically read this forum much anymore due to what we are talking about, but sometimes I read a few posts while waiting for a reply or two on the other forums.
Sometimes, reading all the hate and bias on this forum sucks the life out of me. I mean..........damn......how is hate the answer?
Reading anything in the Political Outhouse generally makes me sad.
Reading about actual politics makes me sad.
There is truth in that CHS, but being one-sided, hateful, and assigning blame while refusing to not work cooperatively isn't going to fix our problems.
I think intelligent and logical dialogue works best. People aren't going to agree on things, but striving to make the world a better place is preferable to this hate fest. Right?

Exactly. But no one on here wants to have a conversation. They'll tell you something is evil or hateful, and that you shouldn't do it, but no one mentions why. No one wants to look at the man behind the curtain, unless the curtain is on the other side.

Clem's post was BS.
Slow down pup, you don't want to tangle with that junkyard dawg just yet; OCD gots teeth.
My name is Nelson and I take everything literally. I'm feeling particularly smert today, so I think I will insult OCDs intelligence without the slightest clue of what I'm getting myself into...
I don't know, CHS. I think that we do have quite a few intelligent posters that would actually like to discuss things rationally, but most give up due to all the narrow-minded posting that is so prevalent on this forum.
Again, I am not concerned w/people agreeing. Debate is great! Contrary opinions allows for deeper thought and overcoming objections leads to a more thorough understanding of the subject and even oneself.
I wish we could see at least a little of that on here. And again, I do think there are enough intelligent posters on here to pull it off.

No need to 'nelson', ocd is, as he said, a dog. And the smerter he gets, the bigger his teeth get. So far, he's teething.
By the number of times OCD called someone a snowflake today, I'd guess someone called OCD a snowflake somewhere offsite and he got his panties in a bunch.
