Americans made more money in every major metro area in 2018

your proving my point

 

No sir, I am challenging your point that the wealthy must pay more. The government must spend less.

I also challenged your claim that the wealthy have tax benefits not available to everyone.

If you have a genuine concern for the middle class, look at the results in California, where dems enjoy a super majority.

 

I agree the gov should not be having 10+ year wars

but I also say the rich should go back to paying what they paid under Reagan, I know the right hates Reagan though and thinks he hated the rich

how many years did republican control CA.... Arnold was the Gov for years

 

You can't have it both ways. You either want to limit government power or increase it through taxes. Is it okay to have forever wars as long as the rich pay more?

 

So?

 

sure I can, I can be for the rich paying the taxes they paid under Reagan and be against 10+ year wars - not sure how you think one can not

 

So you believe that our government will be responsible with this money you are proposing they take from the rich? What are you basing that on?

 

if we keep Republican the 10+ year war Presidents like Bush out of Goverment, we will be fine

that said, I still want the rich to pay the same or more of a tax then the middle class - regardless - they should never pay less, it doesn't make them smart as Trump says, it makes them greedy

crazy how the right can go on for days defending tax cuts for the rich, wish they spent that much time on the middle class, course when it comes to the middle class, they ask, how you gonna pay for it

 

Yet the left leaves workers worse off as California clearly shows. While I am not a fan of the right, they are the lesser of evils on this issue.

You would have me believe that reps are the party of war. This is false.

Tax cuts do not need to be paid for; spending does. We have a spending problem and rewarding irresponsibility by increasing taxes on anyone, wealthy or otherwise, only make things worse.

You live better than most of the world. I propose we double your tax burden. If you oppose it, you are greedy.

 

So the stock market is not a measure of the increase in wealth of most Americans. In fact it isn’t anything other than proof that the law of supply and demand drives the price of stocks .

 

Nope the deficit is to make it simple for you is income minus spending. Cut income and to stay neutral you have to cut spending. That has been the Republican plan all along. Cut revenue, blow up the deficit, blame it on spending that helps the poor to average Americans and the proclaim you have to cut spending on social programs while conveniently forgetting spending that helps corporations and the rich. Ryan pretty much laid that plan out years ago. And now of course Trump is planning to carry it out since he will have no need to do anything for most Americans since he can to run for a third term.

 

Yay. You know what a deficit is. Lets discuss social programs in California. How much is spent and what are the results?

 

So?

 

So if PMI has increased overall yet employment has decreased, what's the logical conclusion? This isn't difficult.

 

The price of goods has increased thanks to Trump tariffs. What did I win?
