2. It really isn't. You can't avoid slavery by faking bone spurs.
3. If Trump paid more taxes than Obama, it's because he's wealthier than Obama. But in the absence of his tax returns, how do you know how much he paid?
4. You need to learn to distinguish between 'anti-Semitism' and 'anti-Israeli policies'.
You're very stupid.

US is supposed to be conservative christian capitalist country.
Conscription is by definition a form of slavery
Trump paid more taxes than Obama so as president he can spend more.
Israel is a Jewish state. Omar is an anti-semite.
"Capitalism" is not a form of government. China is a closed one party COMMUNIST state. But where the fuck do you think all the cheap crap you buy at Walmart and dollar stores come from? CHINA allows the private sector, so it too is a CAPITALIST country with a communist government. FYI Fidel Castro died with an estimated personal wealth of $800 million dollars. Gaddaffi was a billionaire whom owned stock in General Electric. The Saudi Royal Family owns banks and oil companies. If anyone wants America to look like China's exploitative forced labor, the GOP would love that.
If you'd spend some time studying American history, you'd know about what can happen if you simply let the rich do whatever the fuck they want without checks on power. The coal mine scams of the early part of the last century had the barons buy up all the land, including the grocery stores and housing. They'd even in many cases not pay government currency, but in company script which was worthless in any case. By the time the worker's bills were due, they were in debt and were basically indentured slaves. If the GOP had it's way everything would go back to that business model.
CAPITALISM IS NOT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT!
FYI "No religious test" is in our United States Constitution's oath of office. That means there is nothing stopping a Jew or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist or atheist from any government office, be it police officer, county clerk, and includes the ability to apply and run for state or federal office.
Barbary Treaty, Article 11, "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."
Freedom of religion in the First Amendment DOES protect religion, but not as a social pecking order with a hierarchy, BUT EQUALLY, through the concept of government neutrality.
We are not a theocracy. Saudi Arabia is a theocracy. China is a capitalist country, but neither are countries I would want to live in.
And Israel is a secular state with a Jewish majority. You could only argue that their conservative Jews and Bibi want to turn it into a Jewish theocracy. But "Jewish" is not a race, it is a religion, just like Islam is not a race, but a religion. Just like Christianity is not a race, but a religion.
