This looks like something that was said in confidence.

[AAABEST]

Yeah let’s, like the Marxist we just defeated last month.

Someone tell this ranter there’s a reason he was ejected and to shut his moronic facehole.

[jdege]

What they refuse to recognize is that the Progressive era is over.

Bannon: I saw Nicolle Wallace say that on MSNBC one night. Figured she made sense. Admittedly it was a few beers into my evening.

So ole Steve Bannon is nothing more than a tax and spend liberal. Someone who fundamentally believes in the redistribution of wealth, and that those who already pay almost all the income taxes still aren't taxed enough.

What's the difference between him and Tip O'Neil?

[rktman]

Sure Steve that’ll solve our money problems. Sheesh!

[Alberta's Child]

Steve Bannon has been all over the map on many issues. I just assume he's at least mildly intoxicated half the time he's on the air.

As a matter of political and economic policy, the best approach for addressing our broken fiscal affairs is to move as far as possible toward a flat income tax rate environment. Period.

[Uncle Miltie]

Laffer Curve disagrees.

Getting illegals out of the country - reducing crime and inflation and bringing jobs back to the country are what we need.

We don’t need ‘welfare’ or other degrading ‘programs to make us dependent. We’re citizens with the same desires to live in a free, fair and prosperous country as other citizens.

RE: ‘We have to increase taxes on the wealthy’

Ok, define “wealthy” for us.

What they refuse to recognize is that the Progressive era is over.

I wouldn't say that. They may double down with Gavin Newsom. They'll think he's a better messenger.

Tip weighed more...

[lightman]

He may have better hair...

[SunkenCiv]

No, we have to control reapportionment after the census. The Demagogic Party has manufactured its majority based on their hack judges ruling in favor of their BS redistricting plans. We need national VoterID, no illegals voting, mass deportations, border control, and getting rid of the permanent population of DC (by moving them out). We also need tort reform. We *also* need tax reform (not 'more on the wealthy', and I am not one of them), what a complete ******* thing to say.

[Petrosius]

Bribing voters to stay in office rather than doing what is good for all.

[nickcarraway]

Bannon has always been suspect. He has called himself a Leninist. The last thing the U.S. needs is more warmed-over socialism.

[nickcarraway]

The more confidence he said it with, the worse he is.

[j.havenfarm]

He was wrongly convicted, but the upside to his four months in the klink was it kept his stupid mouth shut for four months before the election

[GOPJ]

Maybe Bannon’s stupid enough to think the country needs LBJ’s Great Society... as if that horror didn’t hurt the country enough.
