You know what? I am a FISCAL Conservative, and I mean BIG TIME fiscal Conservative and I don’t see a problem, NONE with workers paying the SS tax on their entire income.

Why should an employee earning a million bucks annually pay less of a % of his annual income than someone earning a hundred thousand?

Trump won overwhelmingly in a field of 17 candidates. Hillary can't even beat Bernie.

Trump will win by a landslide.

“Someone has to do something to knock down her numbers with women.”

I suspect Bill will be taking on that task before long.

I suspect Mr. Trump has more than one of Bill and Hill’s victims lined up for speaking and/or commercials.

This has been such a great election so far - I don’t know how anyone isn’t intrigued by American politics!

Someone has to do something to knock down her numbers with women. I volunteer.

Hillary is no role model. She married a man and basically had him do the heavy lifting while she went along for the ride. On her own, she never would have accomplished anything. When she was put into a position of responsibility at the State Department, she displayed overwhelming incompetence, to the point where four American citizens died while our embassy was invaded.

Does a majority of women want to be seen as incapable of accomplishing anything unless they are riding a man's coattails? Maybe liberal women do, but I sure as heck don't.

THE DISTANCE - A Song About The Ted Cruz Campaign (And To Some Extent Bernie Sanders)

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup

They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he’s driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

Yes! And Hillary and Bill -will have- earned it.

I don’t believe for one second that Hillary has a lead anywhere.

That’s why, when all is said and done, I believe it will be Biden vs. Trump.

Are there really 7 percent more Democrats than Republicans in this country?

I don't think it matters this time.

What's really going to be important is what the independents do. I really like Trump's chances here.

Great analogy! Hopefully at the finish it will be like Secretariat at the Belmont.

They probably do their polling in El Paso, TX and in the Castro, San Francisco.

You may or may not realize it, but eliminating the cap on social security taxes functionally eliminates all s corps. These small businesses generate 75% of all jobs in America, and pay most of the taxes.
