AP ARTICLE

Trump is winning. The American people are winning. Democrats are whining.

The Dems are now basically a main course of immigration with a side dish of transgender.

The RATIO that the top gets, negates the crumbs the rest of the bottom two classes get. THAT is the SCAM Reagan started and the GOP has sold ever since.

What difference does income inequality make?

I got a 5% raise this year. My billing rate was increased 7%, so the gap between me and my boss widened. Why should that bother me?

Damn you are a fucking SUCKER!

Short term thinking you DUMBASS!

It certainly is possible under your individual parameters for you to go unscathed. BUT we are NOT talking about 1 person, YOU STUPID FUCK!

We are talking about long term policy that lead to things like the Great Depression and Bush's great Recession.

"I am personally doing well" is bullshit. 

It is the same selection bias and sample rate error that gets morons to deny climate change. "It's cold today so climate change is a hoax".

For the past 37 years the GOP has pulled the same fucking bullshit. 

Cut taxes for the top which the top does not need. Wall Street in turn makes bad bets on all the tax payer's money. When the bubble bursts they dump the losses on everyone else, but throw short term crumbs to keep voters. YOU are stupid for falling for this bullshit.

Which is why lowering corporate rates brings money back to the US. When taxes are low the benefits of paying the tax outweigh those of evading it. You're making the case for the opposite of what you profess.

Tax cuts aren't winning when they're cutting social programs, health programs, and raising military spending. So trump and his 'winning' can go fuck themselves, right along with the rest of the imbeciles who only give two fucks about themselves.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Ignorance writ large.  A tax haven has lower rates by definition..and doesn't prevent the elite from borrowing, in the us, against their money in tax havens..which is what they do...but not to "invest in business" or "create jobs".   All of this is public record..you could just go google it for yourself.

The gullible GOP voters always fall for this.

They hear "TAX CUTS' and sure, they get them, but what they ignore is that business owners counter worker tax cuts by raising prices while getting even bigger tax cuts. So it still amounts to a short term feel good bait and switch.

Back in 2016 Bill Maher made an excellent segment how lowering taxes on the rich doesn't work and yet dumb delusional conservatives keep trying it over and over again

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Another lame attempt at defending Trumps economic bribe and more mindless preaching the empty gospel of the church of trickle down . The 1% don't invest in business they hoard wealth and don't give a fuck who gets hurt . They don't make jobs unless workers are willing to become virtual slave for the privilege of the crumbs from their table . And gullible morons like Wooter are just the good little lap dogs they want .

^^^^^^^^ SOOOOO MUCH THIS!


I cant stress this enough.

America got hijacked by the rich and the right with Reagan, and since have controlled the map since.

If it worked like the GOP claimed nobody would be bitching, not even GOP voters in red states.

Trickle down does not work.

Hey, fuckface, explain to me then what Apple's $285bn cash pile is doing? If the rich are so mad to invest their money, why does the company have such a huge pile of cash sloshing around between Bermuda and the IFSC?

Quote:Have you ever job from a poor man?

Well, given that poor people spend all their money locally and on essentials, they are much better drivers of economic performance than rich people who either a) salt it away or b) spend it on luxury items.

Your economic literacy is as impressive as your knowledge of early Principate Iudea.
