Where can I get my non-production bonus?
IMO the Chamber of Commerce has done more to weaken to US economy and employee wages as any entity.
They lobbied to push NAFTA and normalize open trade relations with China.
How can you whine about anyone's taxes while also bragging about only paying 5% despite having a high paying w-2 job?Worker bonuses have declined 24% since the tax cut. MAGA! Those rich guys just trickled down all that money Trump showered them with.

Free college and reparations. Lol
F****** millennials

Shit, if we can raise taxes for free college Liz Warren might get a nice bump too. She has already gotten rich working at a university.
Liberal terrorist attack. Thank goodness for law enforcement
Look, if anyone throws out the term “racist” towards me, it’s not going to fly at all. I’m the least racist person on the planet. I’m a a realist. Every single ethnic group has their share of racists.
Here’s the problem, the world, and especially this Country, keeps pretending that the only “racist” people are white Republican males. Until this pathetic falsehood goes away, this cycle of victim hood and excuse making will continue.
Truth be told, Obama made playing the victim race card more popular than ever.
And before some loser wants to call me the silly racist, and doesn’t know what it’s like to be poor name, well, I’ll tell you this, I grew up poorer than 99% of the entire American population. That’s a fact. The difference is that my Mom, two brothers, and sister, weren’t allowed to blame race as the reason.

^^ Perfect example of what too much weed will do to you.
You need to check what is a Libertarian, because you fail in all respects. From your posts, you are a socialist.
Bonuses equal less than 1% of total salary. Better pay, more jobs with better pay, equals much more than 1 percent. Dumbassery=less pay because you would vote in someone who would tax us more and lose the better jobs.Worker bonuses have declined 24% since the tax cut. MAGA!

Obama was trying very hard to destroy this country. If Cankles has got elected, the mission would be complete.
I believe Obama committed treason with this Russian hoax. I hope I see that SOB behind bars.
Fake news proving itself once again.
Reparations? Never. Nobody alive deserves it. I am for kicking everyone who can work but does not out of the country. Send them to south America.
Talk of reparations, hmm...must be an election coming around that libs are desperate to win...
In all seriousness, I would be for reparations under a couple of conditions.
Social and Cultural condition:
There would have to be some sort of agreement and declaration of reperations being the end of it. The end of the perceived obligation that the non-black community owes for things that happened in history long gone. The end of the victim mentality, race hustling, affirmative action, minority only scholarships, diversity departments, and on and on.
Government financial/economic policy condition:
The type of reparations that most folks are talking about would cost at least a trillion or two, maybe more and have to be paid out over at least a decade. During the payment period, all entitlement/welfare spending would have to be gradually reduced and eventually come to an end altogether, never to return.
However, I don't believe they will ever come about. It's too hard to figure out who is owed what and how much.
Reparations also set a precedent that would eventually have to be applied to all. "We were wronged at some point" is not something only black people can claim.

I did not do it so, I don't pay. I owe you nothing. Sins of the fathers are not visited on the sons.
How would decriminalizing pot at the federal level affect anyone that wants to use it recreationally? States are under no obligation to change their laws in accordance.
Here’s the problem with Dems, they never look past tomorrow. Free college sounds great, but how about reinstating the draft? A large portion of recruits volunteer to gain college money, I did. If college were free enlistments would drop significantly, but the military would still be necessary. Guess what happens then, a draft. Are you down for that in peacetime?
I'd support throwing both in jail. Bitch and the bum.
Well if it's okay to send any of them TO south American then it must be okay to send SOME back to Africa.
Poor ole NYT. Have to feel sorry for them 
:
"New York Times CEO Mark Thompson on Wednesday condemned President Trump for his frequent attacks on the news media, calling them "hostile, stupid but also dangerous."
“The president is entirely entitled to not like everything he reads in The New York Times, I get that,” (Note: He doesn't get it or he wouldn't be saying this stuff.) Thompson, who has served as the president and CEO of The New York Times Company since 2012, said at CNBC's Evolve forum in New York. (On CNN. You don't say? Why not on Fox?)
He added that Trump "has every right" to say he doesn't like the way the Times covers him or his administration.
“But actually isolating journalists, as a group, not just the Times, but the whole industry, is a really, frankly, hostile, stupid but also dangerous thing to do,” Thompson added."
First, Trump doesn't attack the whole media. Rarely goes after F&B Fox or the WSJ. What this comes down to is Thompson can't stand his lib paper being called out. Well too f-ing bad, Mr. Thompson. If your paper had a bit of common sense instead of extreme lefty bias you & all the other lefty outlets wouldn't feel so butt f-ed. I don't feel a bit sorry.

*I almost feel sorry for Joe Biden, he's too much a product of his time and era to play the new identity politics games. He's putting his foot in his mouth on a daily basis.
*Reparations will do nothing to resolve racial animus, relieve white guilt, or atone for the horrible institution of slavery. No one alive today was a slave, no one was a slave owner. It is a fix for a problem that doesn't exist, so it will fix nothing. And if it ever happens, it will do nothing to change anyone's plight in life, and I guarantee you the hands will still be outstretched after the money is distributed, because no amount will ever satisfy.

Obama really was a successful President. Just not in a good way.
Reparations are fine with me as long as its white liberals paying. Republicans ended slavery, send me some money for that.
Think I posted a similar clip yesterday but its totally worth another post. Just awesome
