L.A. Times: Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

Never filed taxes before then eh? Also never heard of a tax refund? lol

 

A tax refund is simply the return of an overpayment of withholding.

I still don't see the republicans taking money from the middle class and giving money to the 1%. Maybe you can give an example.

 

Then Californians shouldn't object to the new tax law that reduces the deductibility of local taxes.

 

And the richest 1%, get a greater share of the nations wealth, thanks to republican trickle down policy.

I did.

I'll give you another though. Trumps tax cuts EXPIRE for the middle class, but are permanent for corporations.

 

non sequitur

 

Hey, don't knock illegal immigrants. 2 of them recently made it into the book of world records.

(One was an only child and the other had auto insurance!)

 

Whoa, you just pinned the collectivist meter. The nation's wealth? Seriously?

 

California's woes are due to exporting productive people and importing unproductive people.

 

yes, the nations wealth. It is being redistributed from the middle class, to the wealthiest 1%, by republicans.

 

no it isn't.

 

So is my wealth mine, or is it the nation's?

 

Your wealth is part of the nations. If you artificially are given more, and it is taken from the middle class, you are receiving more of the nations wealth, given to you by the government. In this case, republicans.

But you aren't part of the 1%, so it doesn't apply to you. You are the one getting ****ed by republicans.

 

That doesn't answer my question I asked you. Is my wealth mine, or is it the nation's?

 

Your numbers only go up to 2016 while Trump became President in 2017. The economy is growing, jobs are returning and people are more confident in their future. By 2020, at this rate, the country will definitely be back on track again.

 

of course it answered the question you asked.

 

How does my wealth come to be owned by the nation?

 

Alas there is no mystery. Socialists and Marxist leftists are in absolute political control of California and the one thing that one can rely on is that eventually Socialistic or Marxist economic and political systems run out of other peoples' money and thereafter they collapse. It's called history.

 

Obama increased the debt by $9 trillion and there is nothing to show for it.

Infrastructure needs billions in repairs, the military needs upgrades (remember DVA?) and the border was not secured. Where did all that money go?

 

who said the nation owns your wealth? I sure didn't.

What I said was, there is only so much wealth to go around. And for the last 30+ years, republicans have been redistributing it from the middle class, to the richest 1%

 

nothing to show for it? UE down to under 5% from over 10%. Doubled the stock market to record highs. Most consecutive months of job growth of any other US president in US history. He had the worst recession in 80 years. Those are expensive.

 

When you refer to "the nation's wealth", what wealth are you referring to?

 

the wealth of the nation.

 

Do you mean the wealth that is in the US treasury?

 

no

I'm not playing this silly game you like to play.

 

We should build a wall and make Cali their own country. They're a bigger menace to America than illegals from Mexico.
