    Because rich, don’t pay their share of taxes.
    Twice as many corps this year will pay zero under Trump

    The poor never get it because there is nothing to get. with a .8 trillion dollar deficit. Maybe the addition and subtraction is too hard.....keep saying QE and avoid the deficit.

    It doesn’t cost any f35s
    because insurance companies have six times the overhead that Medicare does, Every country in the world pays less per capita for healthcare.

    You don't pay your share, as you always pay less than others.
    Pay more. Do your part or stop bitchin

    Were you not paying attention from 2008 to 2013?

    No, probably not. Most government worshipers would prefer not knowing what really goes on. Bomb foreign children? No problem, just give my benefits! Trade bad debt with cash to banks for 5 years? No problem, so long as I get free stuff!

    That's because your calculations only account for claims paid by medicare. They don't account for infrastructure, maintenence, market research, HHS, retirements, benefits, etc.

    They have no clue that money given to banks dwarfed dollar GDP growth during the same time period, and that GDP calculations even included the increased gov spending and shuffling of new paper. Doubt a one of them knows anything about suspension of mark to market, GAAP accounting principles and reserve ratios for the largest banks. Forget about the interest the FED paid those banks to park their newly printed cash at the FED or the broker fees the banks received to sell USTs to each other, which the FED instantly gobbled up for cash. All the while the real economy did nothing.
    No, not trickle down at all

    Of course. It’s why I pointed out Obama didn’t fife trillions to the banks.

    I’m sorry you seem to have trouble with reality, and math.

    Infrastructure? Market research ? The one that pays doctors to get patients more hooked on opioids ?
    Medicare research is also funded more by the govt. then by corporations.

    You don’t know what I pay. But that doesn’t prevent you from using slanderous inaccuracies like any Trumpaholic.
    Trump is the typical BS artist who will say anything, anytime to anyone......sound familiar ?

    Right. Quantitative easing wasn't a thing. The discount window closed in 2009 when Obama became your deity.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikecollins/2015/07/14/the-big-bank-bailout/

    No trouble at all. I paid attention. You just listen to some comedians tell you about the latest news, and if they aren't talking about it, then your "reality" doesn't allow for it.

    Maybe, I have a very high deductible, like Trump and pay nothing. Being smarter then Trumpaholics takes little effort.

    I’d ask you to think harder, but that’s impossible.

    I don’t get where you keep getting lost. Obama did not give banks trillions s of dollars.



    Nope. The data is perfectly clear. It renders your position as bullshit.
