I am worried about Trump’s VP pick as well. There are few people in the GOP he could pick that would not anger me.
I really can’t stand any of them. So far I’d be happy with West or Herman Cain, and another person mentioned Sheriff Clarke, who is also a good man, but it should be noted that he is a Democrat. But I don’t really care for anyone currently in the elected GOP.
I also think Trump will have a tough time as president.
I would not be surprised at all to see a “bipartisan” movement to impeach him just as fast as they possibly can.
They do not want Trump in their swimming pool at all.
I care more than this country than you know. I have roots back to 1709. My family has served her when she needed us and always have worked hard. It pains me to see her become a reality tv show now after 24 years of what we have tolerated.
yea, because there is the ultimate , perfect elected official, wake up and Clinton thanks you.
If he picks any of the 16 losers that ran this time or a past loser I might bail. If he wants to “start fresh and outside” then damn well do it.
The tired line has absolutely no effect on me after the last 8 years. If Trump is that great and can part the sea he does not need me, isn’t that what you believe.
You were doing great until you got to this.
The "super rich" invest their money in things that put you (and/or others) to work. Without their money, there would be no venture capitalists, and no startups that are likely to fail. But, they keep investing in them, hoping that one of them pays off.
Even if they were to deposit that money in a bank and earn interest, they are loaning that money to banks who then loan it to start/expand a small business, or to people that borrow money for cars or houses. Or, they buy goverment bonds and loan the money to the US government (so they don't have to borrow it from China).
Interest is taxed at their highest marginal rate. Qualified dividends are taxed at a preferred rate, but that's after the corporation has already paid corporate income taxes on the profit that generated the dividends.
Long-term capital gains taxes offer some advantage, for assets held less than about 5 years. But after that, you'll pay as much (or more!) tax on the paper gain due to inflation than you saved on taxes.
Very few people know how much the "rich" actually pay in income taxes. Setting aside corporate taxes, the IRS provides that information, back to 2001:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/13in01etr.xls
It's an Excel workbook, but it's safe to open it. Whatever you think of the IRS, they won't (yet) install a macro virus on your computer.
A hint: the average tax rate (income taxes divided by Adjusted Gross Income) paid by the "rich" is almost certainly higher than yours.
I’ve heard of people drinking Sterno.
I’m more into Bourbon!
It lights my fire. ;^}
” He will then find out what frustration is when he cannot control those he thought was his “friends” up to now.”
Trump has been trashed by every network including Fox, and almost every newspaper. Understand this: People don’t believe the MSM, and they don’t give a $hit what they throw at Trump.
They hate career politicians with an undaunted passion. Nothing worked. It won’t work in November EITHER.
LOL!!
“but but but we thought he was conservative.”
Is this what is called a straw man argument?
I for one never believed Trump was a conservative. I do not care.
In fact, I am no longer a conservative.
It seems I am not as pure as some would like and my CONSERVATIVE card has been revoked.
Trump has done one thing already that makes him okay in my book. He has exposed the links between the Democrat and Republican party, as well as smoked out so many so called conservatives.
Trump may not meet your definition of a conservative but there is no way he is a far left as Hillary or Sanders.
I do not expect him to reverse all the bad policies that have been put in place, my hope is that he will be able to put on the brakes on this run away train before we go over the cliff.
So you do not need to wait two years, start braying now, it makes no difference.
So, your "Trump is no conservative" bullshit stands exposed as a LIE. Trump's positions on things like immigration and trade can be reviewed going back 30 years or so. Much of the evidence can be taken from Trump's own books.
And that evidence shows that Trump has many conservative values, has discussed them, and they are now part of his policy positions.
So at this point, it requires willful disregard of Trump's own words,going back decades, to try to foment the Hillary/Ted Cruz LIE that Trump is no conservative.
If Trump is no conservative, how come his policies overlap so much with Ted Cruz's?
Your tired on Trump-hating canards have been rebutted, refuted, and repudiated at this point.
You're entitled to keep your Cruz fanboy head in the sand, but don't expect to convince anyone you're correct, because you're dead wrong.
Vote Trump
Exactly.....
This is one really sick individual.....
If might be funny were it not so pathetic and sad. It’s bizarre and childish.
I know...I can’t think of any reason an adult would do something so utterly ridiculous.....
The past few weeks, the only person out-lying Ted Cruz is Hillary, and it appears it will be a photo finish!
Wait, is she an answer to Mormon prophecy too?
I’m not saying he won’t be the nominee. But it doesn’t magically make me a liberal. They gave us McCain in 2008, Romney in 2012, and now Trump in 2016. Who can they dig up for 2020? Lenin?
yeah...it’s really close......
