Rising Cost of Living Makes It Hard for People To Feed Their Families

We're not talking about immigration here though, I don't mind immigration. We're talking about invasion. Illegal aliens are not immigrants. Immigrant is a legal status. Illegals are well illegal.

 

Why the United States Needs More Immigrants

In defense of immigrants: Here’s why America needs them now more than ever

The Benefits of Immigration: Addressing Key Myths

Benefits of Immigration Outweigh the Costs

 

What’s your rationale(s)?

 

[

When none of your sources differentiate between illegal immigrant and legal immigrant you can rest assured that it is nothing but left-wing propaganda not worth clicking on.

But don't worry, maybe Joe will get up on the debate stage this year and tell them all to surge the border again. Or maybe Democrats will promise them free health care from the debate stage again.

 

You should listen -- There are a few things Trump has said he would do on his first day in office.

 

Too bad Trump wasn't able to end daca, but having a subclass to do yard work is important to the left.

 

Immigrants, not illegal aliens.

 

I can't think of any reason we need immigrants.

Having quit the Republican Party in 2017, I can't speak for the RINO faction I left behind -- but -- I'll try to provide some answers to your question, offered from the standpoint of Classic Liberalism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism

1. Get RID of the Federal Reserve central bank! This 111-year old Democrat Party invention has done nothing but cause trouble and get us into wars ever since Woodrow Wilson's cronies put it into existence in 1913.

2. Get RID of the current U. S. Tax Code which allows the wealthy to avoid paying anything close to a "fair share" of personal income taxes.

3. Replace the current completely-corrupted U. S. Tax Code with a simple, straightforward tax system which has no tax 'shelters', tax 'loopholes', exclusions, exemptions, deductions, and 'carried interest'!

4. Adhere to the exact wording and context of the Constitution of the United States and its Amendments.

and the best one of all...

5. Enact a new nationwide law that if a citizen takes any UNEARNED welfare 'benefits' or 'services' from the government during a specific calendar-year, then that person will not (NOT) be allowed to VOTE in any election during that same calendar year.

Do just those five things and then the United States would undergo the most astounding improvement in its history!

 

What Biden and the left don't get is that if inflation were to go down to zero, prices would still be 25% higher than when Biden took office. And, inflation isn't even going down, it is going up. They have been trying to make the argument that with prices being 25% higher than when Biden took office, everything is running just fine. People know that everything is NOT just fine.

 

Depends on your definition of unearned.

 

Oh, they get it. This is their coordinated disinformation program on the American People, and it doesn't look to me like it's working for them.



He's minus 32 on inflation!

 

Easy solution. Return to taxing the rich in stead of borrowing at interest from them.

 

Are you also feeling your wage growth?

Top 1% 2021’s wage growth 9.4%
From 1979 to 2021; 206%

FRED average hourly earnings, all employees

End of Dec 2020; $29.90
End of Apr 2024; $34.75, up
approx. 16.2%, thus, nearly at par with CPI cumulative rate of inflation.

2021’ Top 1% average annual wage; $820,000
Assuming you’re working 60 hours per week; an average of $250/hour.

Hard to believe that a top 1% has been negatively affected by Biden’s inflation.

Also, if you happen to be an employer, how can you not know how your middle class employees are coping with inflation?

In addition, on this site, we had over 100 threads about how the lower and middle class are doing it.

 

It's not hard to figure out what an "earned" entitlement is. Primarily it's those that were a mandatory compliances demanded by the government, with which you were forced by law to comply -- like paying into the Social Security and Medicare systems.

And, it's not hard to figure out what an "unearned" handout is. Primarily it's those where a person does nothing but exist -- NOTHING, and then signs up for welfare, 'subsidies', free "services", free "this", free "that". It's the stuff that most often comes pouring out of the Democrat Party, and is used to buy votes from people who are happy to vote for anybody as long as they keep on getting all that "free stuff", year after year after year. And that is why people who do that should never be allowed to vote while they're "on the suck"....

 

Do you consider a mother raising her kids to be doing nothing?

 

A "mother raising her kids" is certainly doing something, and it is something that she and her children certainly consider to be of the utmost importance. Nobody doubts that... why would anyone doubt that? And if her husband, partner, or herself, too, is gainfully employed, then they're self-supporting citizens who pay the taxes that are demanded of them by the government, just like anyone else. Fair is fair, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Now, how about my suggestion for a total re-write of the U. S. Tax Code? Sound good?

 

Sounds great.

 

I'd go about this an entirely different way.

The Federal Poverty Level is about $15k/yr for individuals. In exchange for eliminating every other social safety network program except social security and medicare, I'd have the government deposit monthly checks to every American that exceeds the Federal Poverty level by a dollar, eliminating all US poverty in the United States, in one swoop. Studies have shown that if exchanged for every other social net program except Social Security and Medicare, would cost Americans less than all this massive patchwork of social safety net programs we have now.

For taxes, every American gets a personal deduction of the Federal Poverty Level, so that money is not taxable.

For tax rates, federal spending is running about 23% of GDP.



So a Federal Tax rate of around 23% should cover it. This eliminates poverty throughout the US and the US deficit.

If we want to spend more or less, we know that about every $300B equals about a 1% of our tax rate. So if they spend an additional $300B they'll have to raise our taxes from 23% to 24% and if they save $300B they can drop our taxes to 22%

This plan eliminates poverty and the deficit and brings clarity to the budget process for all of us.

 

Poll: "Historically Low" Confidence in Biden and Fed on Economy

For 41% of Americans under Bidenomics, Inflation is the key challenge facing their family.



More Americans view Trump as having the answers, than any other national figure

“Forty-six percent of U.S. adults say they have ‘a great deal’ or ‘a fair amount’ of confidence in Trump to do or recommend the right thing for the economy, while fewer say the same of Biden (38%), Powell (39%), and Democratic (38%) and Republican (36%) leaders in Congress,” Gallup said.'

Information like this leads me to believe that there is an underlying strength to the Trump candidacy that is being missed by many. We know what it was like while Trump was president, and we know what it was like after FJB stole the election, and the result has really hurt all of us.

'people have told pollsters for months that they believe Bidenomics represents higher prices, lower wages, and a much worse standard of living.'

Even Biden has given up on trying to lie his way into convincing the American People that Bidenomics is awesome, and FJB is as dense at reading the room as anyone.

“Biden’s subpar rating could have significant electoral implications as not only does he have the lowest economic rating of any president seeking reelection since Gallup began tracking this in 2001, but independents trust his opponent more than him.”

And jailing Trump, just exposes them more. As Trump pointed out, if having Crooked Judge Merchan jail him for telling the truth is what it takes to protect the Constitution from these guys, then he's willing to go to jail.

 

You mean beyond being a dictator "for the 1st day". Nope. Not happening.

 

If our net migration was zero, we would end up with a negative population growth rate, and an aging population, thus, same as Japan.

 

To keep your wages low.

 

When I say tax the rich I mean return to the balanced budget of Clinton. Yes I give credit for that as well to Bush Sr. I give the destruction of that to Bush Jr.
As it is the Congress spends like they have unlimited credit cards that they only have to pay the interest on which is essentially the truth and can issue new cards at will. The filthy rich love the system, their taxes lowered, they get interest on taxes not collected as before and all the debt is spent on them, Win Win Win!
