    That's true.

    No new programs and we have totally gut government spending.. to get our debt under control.

    The concept that we can afford any new programs of any kind is absolutely absurd.

    I referred to the government effort. You don't pay your redistribution taxes, the IRS enforces ultimately at the point of a gun. So, where you live, taxes are paid because they want to? Wonder where that is. Do they pay everything requested or do they use writeoffs and loop holes? I feel if I don't use every writeoff available, I'm cheating myself.

    We have to pay to make our politicians rich. They have their channels.....the "Biden "5" for instance. Made it all on the back of the U.S. Government

    I took a $30,000 student loan in 2000, it's still not paid off. If they pay off everyone else's student loan after I've paid all these years, I will try to organize folks that paid theirs off into a lawsuit against the Federal Government.

    What the hell are you trying to say? What are Dems proposing to the working class?

    Same reason they’d vote for a Republican, altruism—they believe others will be sacrificed to their tribe.

    THIS RIGHT HERE: you are willing to allow socialism to creep into your system, let illegals run lawless while getting free stuff, to let the Democrats take full advantage and manipulate our system all to get rid of one President elected by the people of this country.
    THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM: your willing to let your country go to **** because the Democrats say he’s not good for this country.
    The sad part is most people never gave Trump a chance and just spewed hate from the beginning.
    Man I just can’t believe it.

    Actually pretty much everything you just typed are BS talking points created to get people like you hyper-activated .....I can unfortunately believe that as it seems obvious.

    Republicans support the rich, democrats support the working class

    Republican support discrimination and a religious theocracy, democrats support religious freedom for all

    republican support big government that controls womens bodies, what you eat and what you take to relax, Democrats are pro-choice and support people choosing for themselves, rather then the government choosing for them

    Totally agree, Trump says we have a great economy, but we are still going in debt big time

    the fed is keeping interest rates low and dumping billions into the economy to keep it afloat, not the sign of a great economy

    Trump is gas lighting the American public even worse than Bush did before the crash

    Faith based initiatives - is that the government using a gun to force people to support churches? That then never give the tax payers the credit

    http://rationalrevolution.net/articles/history_of_the_separation_of_chu.htm

    "When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
    - Benjamin Franklin: in letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780"

    "Bush's Faith-Based Initiative Gave Obama's Former Church $1.5 Million" - August 26, 2008

    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...itiative-gave-obamas-former-church-15-million

    "Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill. – where Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama worshipped for two decades – has received more than $1.5 million in federal tax money since 2003 through the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives"

    Starting with ending 10+ year wars and adding a war tax to pay for any future wars, Bush's middle east wars have cost almost 10 Trillion thus far

    The proof is in the pudding. Everything from economics to health to education to crime, the numbers come up better for blue states than red ones. Conservatives keep telling me how horrible Democrats, liberals, progressives, and everything on the left is. Yet when I look around, at conservatives and the areas conservatives dominate, I don’t see anything worth bragging about. Somehow I just keep get the feeling that the right wing media has convinced the flock of things that just aren’t so. Deluded the flock into thinking they are better than they are.

    I’m sure that most right wing rhetoric concerns itself with bashing others, more so than providing anything positive. I can see how it has been rotting the Republican narrative for years.

    Out of my whole post, THAT is what you came up with?

    I read your article. It basically argues one person cant live comfortably while heading up a family of four if you're a waitress or fast food worker.

    What a ****ing revelation...

    the left wants to offer free insurance, healthcare is still your choice... .except in republican states like Arizona that would probably have death panels
