The big problem with this is that the middle & lower classes pay taxes to fund subsidies to attract/keep this big companies so that they get richer. Net, saying they've been good ignores what they've cost most of us.

The bottom 50% of tax filers pay zero income tax. That includes the bottom class and the low end of the middle class. That bottom 50% is paying very little to subsidize anyone including businesses. The bottom 50% do contribute payroll tax but they get all of that back and then some in retirement benefits. Property taxes generally pay for school systems. That leaves sales tax (which are not levied against certain basic needs like food or medicine) and sin taxes (smokes and booze) that go into state and local general funds.

Huh? paying a skank to keep her mouth shut is the "greatest crime in American history?" Dude has some pretty low standards for crime, considering it wasn't even a crime.

The wage gap is always going to grow in a capitalistic society, as there are always going to be people that earn $0. Why is this seen as a bad thing? The emergence of Amazon, Apple, Google, etc are good for all of us. If they didn't exist, would the wage gap be smaller?

And why do people think the middle class is gone? Nearly everyone I know, work with, or live by is pretty close to middle class. More liberal media promoting this falsehood.

And the person above who said FDR caused this is 100% correct. We now have 3-4 generations of people completely dependent on the government and they nearly outnumber those of us that aren't. And now with early voting, they have weeks to vote in their own self-interests and against the majority of those that actually pay taxes and support their entitlements.

Democrats are great at politics. Just like how evil is always working; Democrats are always plotting. Republicans, with a combination of complicity and being asleep at the wheel, let them plot and maneuver for decades.

Dems had slavery then used the New Deal to help build it economically, took over industries to help their propaganda, passed their sins on to others, knew that immigration was going to give them power decades before people understood what was going to occur, so they have done a superb job at growing dependency and importing even more of it.

Abuse Power much? Witch hunt much?

Abuse Power much? Witch hunt much?

The left likes when they can use government agencies to target their enemies and then have the audacity to call others “fascist.”

 

[AustinTXCat]

You guys are funny.

Everything is a conspiracy theory or too convenient unless it involves a Democrat or a person with brown skin.

Some things just are what they appear to be. Isn’t that possible?..

Migrant group demand Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around: report

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ca...in-u-s-or-pay-them-50000-each-to-go-back-home


Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, said the $50,000 figure was chosen as a group.

“It may seem like a lot of money to you,” Ulloa told the paper. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.”

He said the money would allow the migrants to return home and start a small business.

A letter from the group criticized U.S. intervention in Central America and asked the U.S. to remove Honduran President Orlando Hernandez from office. They gave the consulate 72 hours to respond.


"We condemn the intervention of the United States."

P.S." The US better intervene."


Also, "Our homeland wouldn't be so dangerous if you gave us $50 grand/each."

Dear Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa,

F_ck you.

Signed,
The USA

Incoming New York Attorney General Plans Investigations of ...

Odd. I was under the impression that investigations came about AFTER some sort of evidence of wrong doing was found.

Effing hilarious. I plan on visiting a Starbucks either in Orlando or Lakeland, FL next month. Plan on trying this.

I did this a few months ago at Starbucks in Cincy.

I was there with an intern who was a student at UC. The barista happened to be a MEMBER OF THE UC DEMOCRATIC CLUB (per the intern). I order a tea and give the name as "Trump".

When she put the tea on the counter she just said "tea" so I asked her what name was on it. In a very low voice she said "Trump". I said "I'm sorry, I can't quite hear you... what was the name?".

"TRUMP"!!!

Childish? Absolutely. But it was glorious... and you should have seen the looks from all the beta cucks hanging out in there...

They definitely need asylum here. Their country is so unsafe that they would invest $50,000 there.

Would any WW2 era jews go back into Dachau for $50,000?

Kinda shits on the Fuzz narrative.

Question for Trump supporters. Why didn't Trump defund Planned Parenthood and other liberal organizations? He had the Senate and congress but didn't do it? It seems like a no-brainer to me. Is it Paul Ryan's fault?

I really do hope for a war between the left and conservatives because these people are pure cancer.

Trump voters don't care about another Trump affair. Everybody already knew he had no morals.

Already apologized.

It wasn't a slur on homosexuals. It was only a slur on submissive homosexuals, ya know, the bad ones.

Add in a couple extra shots of espresso to really get the blood going and you have my order as well.

And finally the left and the right can agree on something. Does the left hate The Big Oompa Loompa because he’s a white supremist, misogynistic, big baby who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth? No, it’s because he’s an idiot. #verystablegenius, #covfefe, #twocorinthians, #smockinggun, #icouldgoonforever

Apparently they want to tax texts from 5 years ago to now. Wtf? California is ran by absolute lunatics.

Mueller just got another 2 million from Cohen. So he's round up almost 40mil now. Making money like a boss.

guess well see if Trump blinks. he just agreed on live TV to take all the blame for a shutdown so neither side really has any incentive now to compromise. They will both just dump it on him. ..
