An honest question for the Republicans

[Ranjr]

Reagan and Bush I increased the deficit by 240%, more than any president since Roosevelt or any afterwards.  Bush II increased 101% to Obama's 74%.  We know Trump spent like a drunk on payday but without the payday.  So while Republicans can rightfully advocate fiscal responsibility, they can't truthfully claim to be voting for it.

To be fair FDR used that money to kill more people than any other president.

How do you vote for a candidate whose policies merely support the one percent?

If we're being absolutely honest here, what policies do the Republicans implement that help you as the average American?

we research and do not believe what the news tells us. we can see the jobs he has created with the lowest black unemployment/minority across the board. highest black wages on record, funding for traditionally black schools 10 years at a time ( rather than have them begg for money every years like under obama.)/gave them almost double what they wanted for 10 years. highest minority/black home ownership. wages are up across the board benefit are up across the board. and before covide small businesses were booming. we live these points and they are not just some stat the news hides from those who live in big cities. it is easy to vote for a man who puts america before foreign interest and with in 3 years tur ar ound the worst economy the nation has ever seen to one of the best! not only that he has repatriated trillions of dollars. (what do you think happens to the money billionaires have when dims are in office? people like trump and soros do not keep their money in american banks.. it all goes over seas where it can not be taxed by the american government. even if the have to pay half of their earning to the banks over seas and their taxes, it is still better than what they would have to pay in tax over here. so when trump allowed all that money to come back over here under a sensible tax rate, billionaires parked that money in american banks again which allowed those banks to extend loans to people like minorities and others who would not ordinarily qualify for loans. are you so foolish to think billionaires put all their money in big vaults to swim in it? no they invest, and when they are not being taxed to death they invest here in this country in our infrastructure heavily. this means more jobs, higher pay, better benefits this is industry paying it's own way. the dims would have you believe that the governement needs to be involved because they can do it better. so show me when in the last 1000 years where government created quality jobs and made money doing it/not stealing it from those who do make the money.

A long winded way to say that because he is wrong about things, he votes wrong.

Blah Blah

Yes, corporate rates were too high, but because of tax loopholes, no-one paid it.  Sure, its lower in Ireland, but the race to the bottom on taxation will only result in destruction of economies. 

The Republicans took an economy that was creating jobs just fine, and goosed it with a trillion dollars to the corporations.  That didn't create many new jobs -- the slope didn't change.  But it did make the stock market higher, enriching those who already had money, at the expense of future generations.

I think the corporate rate did need to be cut, but not by the amount that was done.  The rest of the cuts, especially the removal of inheritance tax, is just a giveaway to the rich.  Multi-generational dynasties are bad for democracy.  I can't see democracy surviving another century.  It will be oligarchies all around.

that's not true. not even close. before corona we had record low unemployment, Record number of minorities employed not only that pay was higher.
some states enjoyed a unemployment rate of less than 2%. black people when from 16%to as high as 18% under obama to a record breaking 6% before corona hit. which is the lowest it has been since we have been recording these numbers.

this is what i mean by we research our own numbers and do not allow the fake propaganda to direct us how to think by out right lying to us.

  But it did make the stock market higher, enriching those who already had money, at the expense of future generations.

so lower unemployment the lowest it has ever been and higher stock market numbers than we had ever seen.. why wouldn't you vote for trump?

I think the corporate rate did need to be cut, but not by the amount that was done.

were the raises big corperation and benfit packages spawn from those tax cuts just too much? what is wrong with you people ?

  The rest of the cuts, especially the removal of inheritance tax, is just a giveaway to the rich.

not rich but grieving families. my dad died in that period and we benefited from that tax relief. he was a school teacher for 33 years what he left was modest but needed for my mother to keep on living. what trump saved us allowed us to give my father the burial he wanted rather than cremation. you comment is a cut and paste of the left minded purposed thinking. you have no idea or rather you comment does not reflect that you are aware of to whom this tax break touches.

  Multi-generational dynasties are bad for democracy.  I can't see democracy surviving another century.  It will be oligarchies all around.

that's good because we do not live in a democracy sport we live in a republic? do you not know the difference? a democracy leaves no room no voice for any minorities. (not just racial minorities/not a race baited topic) but people who do not think vote or worship the same as the majority. so we do not count individual votes to decide the direction of the country. we elect officials to vote on a region's behalf. the same vote for a heavily populated region as for a rural area. So you see this was never a true democracy. your propaganda sold you a lie and it telling you are losing something you never had, and you are fight on the wrong side of history because of it. because too many of you allow the news to have uncheck access to your reasoning and emotions.

what will you do when biden's bid is over turned for trump?
