More garbage from the GOPe.

Yes, if they don't genuflect to TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!), they must be from the GOPE, right?

Sounds like Forbes wants open borders, and cheap labor.

Yep!

Why should I read your lies when I can listen to Ted Cruz in his own words on immigration

The postings are so annoying and obviously are quick cut and paste from a prepared catalogue.

Thanks. I guess that is a "compliment." I spend time putting threads together. Nothing from any "prepared catalogue."

I'm sure the abuse button and other calls to Jim Robinson have been employed by many of us; why, so we as a put upon group can enjoy the give and take of regular freepers and not the production of professional trolls.

That's a real nice Alinsky post there Sam.

Probably not important but I see that the entity is often referred to as "SHE". Has this been independently verified or is it time to start focusing on that entities profile if for no other reason than to shine some light on their end game.

Now this is an interesting line of attack - debating my sex.

What gives with that?

” and overhauling the Federal Reserve, including re-linking the U.S. dollar with the price of gold. “

Six Presidents have tried to do this. Six were assassinated.

Obviously. Where do you think the excerpt came from.

I realize it’s an inconvenient portion if the intent is to portray Cruz a super swell fit for Libertarians.

Libertarians barely have a lesser of evils candidate. Trump is the most noninterventionist, that’s a biggie for them and has been pointed out often on the cable news shows featuring Libertarian hosts and panels. Kennedy’s FBN had Ron Paul on last week, he’s recommending support of any third party candidate.

Maybe he means “brouhaha”...?

When I’ve heard “hoo-ha” it didn’t mean that at all.

Steve Forbes = Establishment Fraud

Steve Forbes is all about rigged trade deals. This is why he does not care for Trump.

Probably just recently added to the 24/7 Snarkmeister List for convenient copy / paste one liner driving by.

Bless their hearts. And thank them for the bumps. It does help.

You have given me a very good reason to bother with you and your efforts. Since I’m self funded just like your nemesis, Donald Trump, I must learn on the job and you have been a great motivator.

But I have no interest in a school yard challenge, actually I know you would win a pissing contest as I have witnessed you besting all that stand up to you. Hell you could even be a moderator for all I know, but you certainly have skills.

I think that you are more than one poster running a shift and probably multiple screen logins so I’m thinking that maybe you could use another “entity”. So here I am; are there open positions available with this or perhaps one of the other gigs you run?

It’s just words, people really don’t pay attention to “just words”.

Your sex, if you have any, is definitely not important but I think other posters might want to know.

I’ll decide later if I’m going to spend more time with your game; I’m still a working man.

Oh by the way, people have asked if you have donated to the cause this quarter. Have you donated to the cause this quarter? Use paypal, everyone likes paypal.

I disagree with Steve Forbes on immigration and so called “free trade.” I prefer fair trade. I prefer a flat rate or fair tax and am not in favor of any type of VAT tax at all. Unless there is a constitutional amendment, I believe a VAT tax will be on top of an income tax.

While I understand why he is doing it, (and he is correct that the administrative costs overwhelm the tax collected itself), I wish Trump’s tax plan mandated that everyone pay something. I’m one of those that believes that these are the membership dues we pay to live in America. But he’s correct that it makes no sense to spend $ 20.00 in gov’t processing to collect $ 6.00 in tax. Guess this is a heart over head issue for me.

I realize that some are accusing you of posting this as a Trump hit piece, but I don’t think that is accurate. Forbes is just airing his opinion and I didn’t take it as an attack article.

I’m a Trump fan. If elected, there are occasions when I am sure he is going to make me so mad that I’ll want to yank my hair out, and other times when I’ll erupt in applause. Same as all the rest of them, btw.

But the economy is going to crash, as sure as I am sitting here, because Obama has not fixed a damn thing — just operated so nothing blows up on his watch. We had better have someone with an economic & financial background at the wheel, preferably without the crony capitalists whispering in his ear the whole time.

I’m never gonna have another opportunity to vote for a citizen president (and I’m no spring chicken), who is largely paying his own way.

And I don’t intend to miss my chance. :)

“I would like to know what fraud-boy’s proposed VAT rate is.”

Correction:

I would like to know at what % fraud-boy’s proposed VAT rate BEGINS.

I cannot recall ANY tax/fee/fine, let alone ‘voluntary’ rule/reg, that wasn’t made permanent, nor stayed at which it began.

Must be from the Ryan school of economics:

1.2%/yr wage increase? Guess that wouldn’t have the same ring to it as 12.2% (over a decade)

“Imagine a 10 percent income tax, with every American filling out”. Um, that’s those that HAVE ‘income’. What about those ‘under the table’, unemployed/retired, etc.? Do they NOT also use govt services they should be paying??

Define ‘as we know it’. Why not just ABOLISH? Ah, because someone must ‘verify’ the return still!

NO. MORE. SLAVE. TAX. Consumption only. ALL pay, NO IRS and, best of all, VOLUNTARY.

Well, Sam, you could not be more wrong if you had tried.

I think that you're "thinking" too much.
