Realistically speaking, do you think Trump will last till November?

Well, you could start by going after the billionaires who pay derisory amounts of tax. Trump is a standout, how much tax has he paid on his purported wealth of $5 billion? Or Murdoch?

 

That's probably a side issue. Where America has to increase expenditure is in re-inventing the manufacturing industries it exported to Asia, and refurbishing its decaying infrastructure. Both create jobs, and hence more revenue.

 

For example, China has thousands of kilometres of high speed rail track criss-crossing the entire country. Plus Tibet. Little Japan has 3000 km. America has less than 500 km.

 

America relies on road transport and air. Poor economics.

 

You are going to have to spend more before you can spend less, if you want to get anywhere.

 

My first sentence was a rebuttal of your "summer of love" comment.

 

1) How much revenue will your "billionaires" talking point deliver?   Using IRS data, which you can find on IRS.gov.  The total taxable income of over 10 million dollars is 1.4 trillion.   The term "billionaires" measures net worth, not income.  

2) As I said before, the US is currently spending 23% of the GDP, which is unsustainable. The highest income the US has collected since WW2 has not exceeded 20% of the GDP, no matter the tax rate. 

3) What about high-speed rail? 

4) The US is a large country. 

5) This is a dumb take.  The National debt has exceeded 35 trillion. 

6) The left-wing summer of love caused billions in damage and many deaths.

Why would a retired guy on the pension care about Trump? 

I have a sense of right and wrong, it's quite obvious you don't.

I think you are kidding yourself. A smart guy your age would be eating wagyu and not care one bit. Only been 500,000 anti Trump topics. Everyone as dumb as the previous one.

America moves people by road and air. It's economically and environmentally unsustainable. The rail system is slow and antiquated.

 

I lose interest in talking to people who want to use terms like dumb and silly. Goodbye.

No, you are kidding yourself if you think supporting Trump somehow validates your existence. He only cares for himself, and the only reason he is running is to stay out of jail. He will throw you under the bus like everyone else once you have served his purpose. He's just telling you what he thinks you want to hear, and you're a mug for listening to him.

I'm here for the comedy. Old guys having melt downs over Trump. Keep it up. We on the right enjoy it.

You're here because you get your jollies provoking people, which makes you a pretty sick person. You fit right in with the MAGA crowd.

 

You never did respond to my questions on how far you got with your education and work, so I guess you rose as high as pumping gas.

Can you see it?  Frothing, sputtering hate, spittle flying from a hideously deformed face just spewing rage. Like the King Crimson album cover.

Nah I have a sense of humour. It is sick to hate on a stranger. Any doctor will tell you that.

Great timing dude.

They don't care about policies. They care about personalities. Trump has one.
