Let's continue that discussion in the appropriate on-topic thread once Trump makes public, or is forced to make public, his federal tax returns and the American people learn just how much taxes the great billionaire has really paid over the years.... Not to mention, the taxes he avoided thru dubious schemes in inheriting most of his wealth from his father.
And does it not occur to you, that the IRS already has his records, and if he was doing something illegal they would be all over it.

One of the crazies is talking about 90% tax being fair for the rich.
Well in the article I quoted, Bloomberg says what she is proposing is unconstitutional, and as to wealth redistribution, he says look at Venezuela. Don't agree with the guy's politics much, but hard to argue with him on these points.
Bottom line to the Warren, Bernie, etc. supporters, there is no such thing as free. If you push the wealthy very much, you will have another France on your hands. People will be parking their money, or border hoping, how long has the cash from Apple and others sat overseas.
-
Very well, as to policies, plotting to take something that doesn't belong to you, would be called stealing in any other context. Warren is not the only one, but comes across as a thief, and a loser, as does Harris, Booker, Sanders.
Rich pay their fair share? Based on who's opinion, and how much is really fair?

Even if the guy is a Democrat, I say leave the guy alone. It's the same type of stuff they tried to dredge up during the Kavanaugh hearing.

Funny -- a strong majority of Americans voted for the one lady that was actually qualified for the job.
You guys seem pretty proud of that, according to Wiki, Hillary did have 64,853,514 vs Trump with 62, 984,828, but what you also failed to mention, is that with one example, Hillary won California by 4,269,978. If we removed that one state, Trump would have the popular vote. That's one of the purposes of the Electoral College(I'm pretty sure Hillary knew about that before the election), and people like me aren't living on the whim of a Liberal state.

No, I got it right the first time alright, you just made it worse by stating that foreigners should not criticize anything american. Try that the other way around for starters.
I consider the source, and if you think it's ok for her, then as a U.S. citizen, it is certainly my right to state an opinion. Get over it if you don't like it.
I actually dislike Kaepernick for more than Rihanna, and wonder how much of his Nike paycheck he contributed, to charity or legal funds for those he feels are being abused.

Great, and all this because of turning down a superbowl thingy? America is becoming worse and worse every day. Some answers here proof that point.
Obviously I was writing over your head. I do not care about the Super Bowl, and certainly not the half time performance. I do have a problem with a dope smoking foreigner, being critical of U.S. society, and law enforcement.

Hopefully, before it's too late, somebody can remind her that it is not mandatory to apply for U.S. Citizenship, and she can pack up her crap and go back home.
More importantly, the next time someone is beating the snot out of her, please don't endanger a police officers life by calling 911.

I love how you Trumpers always come up with the 'but the economy' when the numbers just simply don't bear out your argument. I try not to argue facts with Trump supporters for the same reason I don't bother trying to teach my dog how to drive a car but here goes:
Dems Vs Repubs by the numbers. *last 50 yrs
Years held Presidency: - Repub- 28yrs, Dem-22 yrs
Total jobs created:- Repub-24 Million, Dem-42 Million
Stock market return:- Repub-109%, Dem-992%
GDP:- Repub-2.7%, Dem-4.1%
Income growth:- Rep-0.6% Dem-2.2%
(source politico, bloomberg, USDL)
Forbes magazine - 'It is simply a fact that since World War II, Democratic presidents have seen 24.4 million more jobs created on their watch—an average of 78.6% more jobs created per year of Democratic administrations—than have Republican presidents. Ditto real GDP growth, 44% higher under Democratic presidents. On the flip side, unemployment has been 18% higher under GOP presidents.
Oh and whilst we are on the subject of facts:- 9 of the last 10 recessions have been under Republicans.
You have got to stop measuring the economy by how well the wealthy are doing (you saved $250 but can you imagine how much millionaires/billionaires made?). You cannot also say that the economy is better off under Trump when despite Bush's tax cuts, less federal income (Great Recession etc), The 'War on Terror', Obama eventually got the budget deficit down to $485 Billion in 2014 and $666 Billion in 2017. The budget deficit under Trump is CONSERVATIVELY estimated at $779 Billion in 2018, rising to over a $Trillion in 2019. Over the next 10 years, he is gestimated to add another $16 Trillion to the deficit. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/07/trump-budget-deficits-growing-big-spending-fiscal-irresponsibility/
But yeah, the Democrats would have been worse.
Again, if Obama thought he was doing such a wonderful job, why was he warning that we would have to get used to living with 2% growth? Things got better in spite of Obama, not because of him. Improvement in budget deficits were caused by sequestration, and very little to with his grand plans.
The most disturbing part of your post, is comparing my small tax savings to the millionaires, as if I should be resentful. I was taught that if it's not yours, don't take it. Apparently a lesson never learned by most thieving Democrats/Liberals.
If you walk into a restaurant, and a guy has a better looking steak, do you just go over and demand part of it, because he's dressed better than you?
Once again, thank heavens that Hillary or Bernie isn't in the WH!!

Knock yourself out. I doubt Trump cares what a bunch of Euro Socialist think about him, I certainly don't, it's not a popularity contest. The problem with calling Trump a criminal, is that would also drag his opponents character into question. Only the delusional would think Hillary, or most other politicians, is any cleaner or better ethically.

Something else to consider for 2018, if the Democrats when back the House, you'll have Adam Schiff head up the Intelligence Committee, and heaven forbid, Maxine Waters the Financial Committee. Does anybody really think that would be a good thing!
Go Donald, MAGA.

The cycle is quite normal. Well, not quite. What may be abnormal is that no crisis occured since 2008/2009. Get things back in control by increasing debts even more than before? Quite unusual, indeed......
Let's look at it this way, you need to go into the next room, but you're standing there with your nose against a wall. Do you keep pushing against that wall, hoping that it will give way, or do you back up one or two steps and use the door. Trump has a large debt to resolve, it won't be fixed in one term, but he is having to overcome several years of sequestration, because they wouldn't work out a reasonable budget.
Still our chances are better with him, than Hillary or Bernie.

Not nonsense. Sound economic policy. Economic policies should be counter-cyclical. Increase deficit when there is a crisis and reduce deficit when growth returns to a normal situation. Trump's pro-cyclical policy of increasing deficit during a growth phase will just leave empty coffers when the next crisis comes. And the next crisis always comes......
Yes, nonsense. What you are saying may make sense in a normal economic cycle, but Trump walked into a debt of almost 20 Trillion. He may have to use some unusual policies to get things back in control, if he ever does. I assure you, he has a much better chance than Hillary or Bernie would have.

"That “60 Minutes” went looking for something greater is more proof than viewers needed that their approach to the President left them outmatched".

The problems for the Liberals, is they are like Hillary. They thought they were smarter than us, their not, and they thought they know what's best for us, they don't! That's why Hillary lost, and Trump is in the WH, and they still don't get it.

Real Wage Growth Is Actually Falling
I assume you read the part where the wages went up more than since 2009, it was inflation that also went up? I'm in aviation, and just recently the company gave 13-15% wage increases to some maintenance personnel, and a healthy increase for the pilots, just to compete for qualified people. Just driving around, I heard a roofing company offering $20 and hour, just for labor!
Check out these unemployment rates, when there is demand, there will be more increases.!https://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm

And please, not only did Republicans not want to increase spending during the Greeat REcession, they actually wanted to slash it. There were no proposals coming from the Republicans on how to increase spending during the Great Recession. Just calls for tax cuts on the wealthy. Which makes absolutely no sense in a period of decreased emand. And now that the economy is in recovery, they want to boost spending. Such hypocrites.
ANd as for the recovery, it hasn't been much of a recover for most AMerican. Particualry for non-supervisory workers. You know, blue collar types. But the wealthy are making out fabulously from it.
Nonsense, where are you at? There are help wanted signs all over the place, and I get at least 2 or 3 emails a week, from companies begging for help all over the U.S. Yes, wages are going up by demand, not some BS Ponzi scheme, like minimum wage legislation. The tax cut wasn't a whole lot, but made an average of $250.00 bucks in my pocket. I suppose I could have voted for Hilary or Bernie, and have it go the other way.

9 minutes ago, bristolboy said:Before Trump's tax bill passed, the economy was just continuing its upward trajectory reinforced by a long delayed recovery in Europe and Japan. And it's true, the economy did get further stimulus. But very little from the tax bill. Most of the additional stimuus was due to the huge increase in deficit spending. You know, the kind that Republicans used to accuse Democrates of doing. Although back then it was the "tax and spend" democrats. NOw it's the "spend and slash taxes" Republicans. Setting the stage for an assault on Social Security and Medicare.
BS, then why was Obama making comments that we were just going to have to learn to live, with a less than 2% growth rate. We may make a step back on spending, but that was because Obama could never put together an acceptable spending bill, and screwed up the health care even worse. Good riddance.
Thankfully Trump won, and idiots like Hillary or Bernie didn't make it. Why don't you guys make sure some race baiters, like Kamala Harris or Corey Booker get nominated, and we can do it again in 2020.

He's comfortable because he has total lack of comprehension about his job, like a fish examining a nuclear submarine. And his 60 Minutes interview was just a non-stop string of blathering idiocy: Trump’s 60 Minutes interview once again reveals gross ignorance and wild dishonesty.
"Donald Trump trusts Kim Jong Un but not American climate scientists. He knows more about NATO than Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. He thinks the European Union was created to take advantage of America on trade. And he isn’t sure whether or not Vladimir Putin is involved in assassinations.
In short, his sit-down interview with 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl revealed the president of the United States to be grossly dishonest, woefully ill-informed, and congenitally incapable of admitting error or demonstrating any kind of moral or intellectual growth."
And what is worse, his base sees no problem with this at all.
His base didn't have a choice, it was him or Hillary. I've been around the Clinton's since the 80's, I gave them a chance once, never again.
Oh yea, I sleep perfectly fine. There is no way Hillary would have done as well on the economy, or foreign policy.

Democrat Elizabeth Warren apologies to Cherokee Nation for DNA test

You don't even really know what you're talking about. Which taxes? On salary, Capitol Gains? Stocks and investment profits? Warren Buffet and Trump aren't doing anything the rest of us can't do. Have you created a company to use deductions, depreciation, etc.? Maybe, most are too lazy to do something like that, but not too lazy to be a loser and bitch about some other guy making some money.
