    We have states that levy no income tax on anybody.
    They seem to be prosperous.

    There are currently nine states without income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming

    How often do states challenge sales taxes for the reasons you speak of?

    My guess is that at Facebook the oldest Grandson is safer in his career than is the Tire changer in his.

    OK, I get it.

    You and Bow to the Robots truly wanted that wall. And when Trump did not get Mexico to pay, you were not angry at Mexico, you were angry with Trump.

    If he really meant what he said, he would want what I want.
    I want the minimum paid to we collecting SS to be equal to $14 per hour or $29,120 per year.
    Can you support that for the least of us?

    You really need to read my post closer. I already said this but I said the wall was not a policy promise that I cared about. It was a nice to have if he got Mexico to pay for it. I said for me it was nothing more than a way for Trump to demonstrate his negotiation abilities. If he accomplished even 1/2 of the policies promises that mattered to me I would have supported him again.

    Now I get it. The Wall did not matter to you. It mattered to Bow to the Robots.
    Trump did get things from Mexico. Did that help you at all?

    I never could have supported Biden. The mess he has already caused sure shows I was correct.

    As to 3rd party wonks, wonks never have won.

    I never denied Trump's accomplishments. The USMCA was an improvement over NAFTA.

    I don't expect the 3rd parties to win but it is a nice place to park a vote when your party fails you. I only hope that other parties can stay playing a bigger role in American elections. I wanted nothing more than for Trump to form a Patriot party.

    I listened to the real talk with the Mexican president and Trump did not mention the wall at all.
    The WAPO claims they got an unofficial transcript. Naturally they did not do as good journalists do and use the actual sources to back up their claims.
    I still will try to listen to the actual call over again to see if I made any errors.

    Here is the actual call made between Mexico and Trump.

    Stop to think what most Actors do all the time.
    PRETEND
    No other group makes the money pretending that actors make.
    Brad Pitt makes millions per picture by pretending.

    What group do you believe are perfect?
    Can you name the perfect musician?
    The perfect doctor?
    Why then worry that Trump was not perfect in all ways?

    I became eligible for SS benefits this year which I did not accept...I will wait because I don't need the money

    if a person does not begin accepting SS benefits until age 68 or 70, depending on what was paid in
    he/she will collect over $2000 per month...I think the max is $2800 per month which is about $33K a year

    I am sure the above estimates will be corrected by people more informed than I

    should those people that qualify for $33k be reduced to $29K a year??

    I am 83. I do not get the figures you named. I get $14,832 per year. So for me it would be a large increase.

    I think every person that pays into SS should receive benefits as are promised when SS was created..

    at 83, I would guess your payments started about 15-20 years ago

    and 15-20 years ago a new pickup truck cost $20-30K , now a new pickup costs $40-60K

    yes, I agree payments should be adjusted for inflation and obviously are not..

    what party do you think would support an increase in SS benefits??

    there are only 2 choices...the GOP and the DNC

    :roll:

    IF you do any research AT ALL you will find that Democrats represent the top 10 wealthy districts 8 to the tRumpublican's 2. BUT! They also represent many, many more poor districts; I guess the underprivileged just don't trust tRumpublicans. The upshot is, that IF you actually looked into it, wealth is distributed fairly equally between Democrats and tRumpublicans. So, your, little family survey, while interesting (to you) doesn't hold water when compared to those held nationally. (if you want me to embarrass your survey OK, but otherwise just GOOGLE it.

    I heard a reliable source state as a fact that the Biden team just did not want the Trump team to tell them anything at all.

    I believe the GOP would support this.

    By the way, the DNC is not going to bat to do this.

    I would have been super pleased had St. Alphonsus only charged me and the insurance firm about $2,000 vs the $14,000 too.
    Why? For my first 2 days in the hospital, I was stuck into a stark examination room. When they finally got me a room for patients, that room was excellent. So I deserved a huge discount. They also did not feed me meals until my last day. Go to a fancy hotel with high rates and at least you get fed good meals.
