There's so much about the 'ol "Trump Tax Cut" complaint that I've never understood. If a person makes $1,000,000 and has their upper rate cut by from 37.5 down to 35% that leaves less than $25,000 in their pocket to spend, invest, or save. Assuming they also pay state, property and an assortment of sales tax...that increased their net from $500,000 to something below $525,000. So? How does that harm anyone else? Your federal taxes don't fund any of the things most leftists are traditionally whining about (teachers, cops, firemen, social security, etc.). Doesn't the high wage earner use the money to buy things that are made and sold by the middle and lower class? And, if instead the high wage earner chooses to save it, or invest it, good for them. Please don't tell me there's an expectation that Nancy, Mitch and Chuck are going to use the extra money to pay down the debt!

I’ll second that! Tax the Rich….my arse!

Good to know. I’m glad there’s someone else on here with that type of significant professional experience. 😉

A reinforced concrete structure is not as easy to retrofit as you might think, especially if the steel is exposed to the elements and begins to rust. At some point it needs to be demolished.

LEGAL immigration…not ILLEGAL immigration. This is not complicated Tibs!!!

Well at least we know that Tibs counts himself amongst the solid 25% who think the country is going in the right direction. He’s definitely a man that stays true to his convictions! 😳

Yes really. The person looks at the job market and ‘says those are jobs for illegal immigrants, I’m not going to work there’. You really have to leave your little bubble. Take a trip out to california. That’s happening everywhere. When the hiring billboards are in Spanish…what do you think it tells them?

So from this I take it you’re in favor of US troops on the ground?

No disrespect intended, but it’s be far more interesting if you’d add at least a little narrative to why each mock is constructed the way you did. Are other players off the board? Is this one where you hope they’ll go? Etc

Wonderful…yet another world ‘leader’ late to the movie.

All the importation of cheap foreign labor does is give otherwise able bodied Americans a convenient excuse to not fill these low skilled positions. Further perpetuating the soft bigotry of low expectations. Wonderful!

Did I mention I went to the grocery store the other day? 😳

Since your original point made zero fiscal or societal sense, I figured I’d test another.

I went to the grocery store the other day and bought different stuff.

I’m guessing with your way of thinking it’s also a great idea to tap into our strategic oil reserve because of you know…Putin…so we can save 10 cents a gallon for a week or two.

Exactly…what?

Hilarious…so it’s your position that the problem with America is that it’s chock full of….wait for it…Americans! Brilliant.

Happy Easter…He is Risen!

I literally have no idea what some of you are talking about on here anymore. Let make it really simple. Private individuals and corporations expect a return on an investment. Government, on the other hand, doesn't invest....it spends. Neither one is bad. It's just how our system works.

You guys are literally HORRIBLE at memes. None of that makes any sense at all.

Wait…what? Twitter is claiming a constitutionally protected religious exemption? Really? What religion is it?

So it’s settled then…Sean Hannity will moderate all the debates, just to even things out for the last couple of decades. Done!

We’re clearly at an impasse. The Team is going to get paid back for their investment one way or the other. It’s an investment….not a gift to the fans. Go Bills

These are complicated Finance discussions to have on a message board. But in short, the PSLs aren’t paying back the taxpayer portion of the funding. If they were, they’d be a LOT larger. The PSL charge only pays back the Team’s portion. In some way or fashion the cost of the new stadium has to be recouped. It’s not pretty but it’s how things work.

The pool of questions would still come from a collaborative media, with the final questions having to be approved of by both candidates. It’s the way jurors are chosen in the courtroom every single day. (Each candidate’s party gets a finite number of questions that they can outright reject.) With that said, I put it to you that’s it’s NOT the actual question that’s the problem. It’s the voice inflection and follow up from the moderator. I’ll never forget or forgive Savanna Guthrie for her outright hit job on Trump in what was supposed to be a townhall format while George Stephanopolous was stroking Biden on the other channel. Shameful!
