I lost count of the number of times Clinton said she was going to "invest" in this or that program last night. Liberals never get called-out on this language spin. At every opportunity we should remind them that what they really mean is tax and spend the proceeds of our labor.
I remember during the Minnesota governor race back in the 90s, Humphrey kept on talking about investing money. Jesse Ventura’s response was “whenever you say invest, I feel like someone is putting their hand in my pocket and pulling out my wallet.”
Guns on street = Private ownership of weapons as opposed to government owned.
I remember that well. He may be the one who started this spin.
I though this was a lost opportunity for Trump.
On reviving the economy, Clinton’s plan was basically to take more and more money away from people and “invest” it in roads. That didn’t thrill me.
Trump’s plan (which he really didn’t talk about) is basically to lower business taxes, lower personal taxes, and cut way back on strangling regulations that stifle business growth. More employment, more disposable income.
But Trump never really said that. Hillary wanted to “tax and invest” and Trump wanted to complain about our $20T debt. He left his best stuff unsaid.
My favorite was Steny Hoyer getting up on the House floor to proudly proclaim that he was a “tax tax spend spend liberal” and then running away from the statement as fast as he could when it looked like he might lose his election over it (alas, he didn’t).
Forget about Brexit Hillary.
This is the year of Texit.
We’re pulling out of unwanted taxation.
Deal with it!
Hillary Clinton, please define the word ‘invest.’ ‘Invest, Invest means you tax the rich so that they pay their ‘fair share’ and you give that money and a whole lot of other money we borrow or invent out of thin air and give that to other rich people who have donated to us, whereupon they spend a tiny portion of it on approved projects, pocket the rest, and add to our national debt. Invest.’
They told us that a return to the Clinton era tax rate for the evil rich would bring prosperity. We’re at 39.6%. Why is our deficit going up? (payroll tax receipts are going down)
The Fed threatened Deutche Bank with a $14B fine. They are refusing to pay. Seems their threats aren’t working any more.
Common sense gun control = disarming law abiding people
You’re right.
What some folks don’t understand is that the margin in most businesses isn’t fat. You eek out a living and become wealthy over a long time, if you ever do. Most businesses fail. Those that don’t are mostly businesses that provide a decent living to the owner and the employees.
You raise taxes, and that ends many businesses. It ends the employment of their workers. It puts the owners out of business. It hurts the owner, the workers, the suppliers, the customers, the local, county, state, and federal tax coffers.
If a guy like Trump never in his life paid taxes, who cares? Over 22,500 employees did. If not for a guy like Trump, that doesn’t happen. The tax receipts off those workers is a major fortune for all tax bases.
By not paying taxes, Trump would have had more money to invest. Hillary cant’ grasp this on any level.
Clinton did nothing but express her ignorance last night.
Lowering taxes has the reverse effect. Instead of firing or letting workers go, you hire them and use the profits to open more locations and grow the economy.
Trump knows this intimately well. Hillary has never been exposed to this concept in her life.
Erik Trump said it best last night.
Trump has created more jobs than Hillary ever will. “In her whole life, she has signed the back of paychecks, not the front.” Trump signs the front.
For 20 years now, every time my wife tells me she hopes she wins the lottery, I tell her that if she does I’m going to INVEST it in hot babes and cold beers. She doesn’t get my humor. But now every time she hears a politician say they’re going to INVEST in something, she isn’t fooled; she’s wise to the game now.
I quote myself from long ago:
Politics is the art of taking other people’s money and using it against them.
This has been the "Modus Operendae" for countless centuries!
I was screaming at the TV. Government has “invested” a staggering amount of the taxpayers wealth and all we have to show for it is $20 trillion in debt. He needs to say this to
