You're clueless of how Americans get ahead. Just because you can pay the bills on 40 hrs doesn't mean you don't want nice extras.

 

Sounds more like employer exploitation. So may Americans are on low hourly rates. In a sense it's an insult to encourage them to work overtime, you know a thing called work / life balance or isn't that recognised for the low paid in the US for quality of life?

No, it's more like I want a house, nice car, take vacations, provide kid with private school. The American Dream isn't handed to you.

Deflect much? That's not the point, which is the former president/convict/serial sexual predator/fraudster is lying yet again, and gullible red hats are defending his obviously transparent swindle.

I don’t disagree with what Trump is up to and you won’t find me defending any of it, but my anecdote  is not a deflection.

Are you claiming Americans on low hourly rates  who work overtime can afford the above? I find that difficult to believe.

 

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for seven years. This is a poverty wage, and has an effect on wages for millions of jobs. Overall, 58.3 million workers (43.7 percent) earn under $15 an hour; 41.7 million (31.3 percent) earn under $12 an hour.

why did all the msm call her that then?

 

It was something they used at the start cos they got it wrong. Biden put together a border package with leading and very stringent, conservative Reps. (He was responsible for the border as Pressy yuh know?). It was all agreed and ready to go down.

 

Trump vetoed it for the reason I gave.

 

Thinks ... Does that make him border czar?

We will give you a break on your overtime pay, but we will raise your taxes by imposing enormous tariffs on a wide range of imported goods, punishing both you the consumer, and the American companies that manufacture overseas.

 

Sounds fair, sounds like a good trade-off? 

 

It does if it makes it more economical for those companies to move their manufacturing back to the USA.

I was making $20 an hour back in the '80s, non-exempt.  (That means I was entitled to overtime pay)  The big discussions in the breakroom were whether working the overtime would put us in a higher tax bracket and we'd end up with less in our paychecks.  It never worked out that we'd make less for working those hours.  But it was common to find out that I wasn't making time and a half ($30), it was more like $15 an hour after taxes.  Which sucked.  Not much incentive to work those extra hours if that's the case. 

 

Then I granulated and got a salaried job, not entitled to overtime.  Then, I worked all those extra hours for free, in the vain hope that I'd get promoted faster.  Sucked even more, because the good looking blonde guys got all the promotions, no matter how little extra time they put in.

 

Edit:  My bad.  I got 2 eras in my life conflated. I wasn't making $40 an hour until the late '90s.  Doesn't change the gist of the issue.  But I confess to changing the numbers to be accurate.

"faux pas".

 

You mean lie. Conscious, deliberate lie. Even now. Constantly and continuously.

 

Call it what you want.  It's exploding on the interwebs.  Everyone's talking about the Harris/Biden Haitian problem in Springfield.

 

And keep in mind the voters know all politicians lie.  That's baked in.  They're over it.  That's not nearly as bad as the voters finding out cities are being devastated by bad policy.

Tug maybe he did not think of this the first time around.  Harris could have kept our borders secure not undoing Trump's work.  Where does Trump owe taxes?  You are so full of BS.  Why not join the Harris team.  You would fit right in.   You ever mention the taxes owed by Al Sharpton and all the years he has owed them?  I hope the people here see you for what you are.  I sure do.

Aww jee wizz here ya hurt my feelings with your personal attack on my character…..not lol 😂 the sad reality is trump is pandering for votes .as with his past record of not getting stuff done it’s just noise out of his mouth hole.and spidermike brought up a really good point about his tariffs we consumers would (and are) paying now and if tragically he gets back in.thaipo who killed the bipartisan border bill?are you lucid enough to realize just who did?

It is a blueprint for tax evasion and is a gimmick.

Tax policy should be simplified and enforceable, not turned into playground for cheaters.


“blueprint for tax evasion“

 

In what way?

 

Are you concerned there won’t be enough tax money for the freeloading illegal aliens for their Obama/Biden/Harris phones, free meals, hotel vouchers, free medical and last but not least rechargeable visa debit cards to buy all those lottery tickets.

She was never border Czar are you just ignorant, she is a VP she signs Bills it’s her job , get off Qanon and do some research ffs 


You’re more ignorant than you appear.

 

Biden appointed her “Border Czar “ in which she failed tremendously.  Like her 2020 bid for Presidency.

 

A product of the woke, DEI mindset that people like you created.

He didn’t pay income taxes for years he did pay some recently because he sold one of the properties daddy left him before that he was milking the loss of the casinos he failed at.


All perfectly legal within the US tax code.

 

He even admitted it’s a rigged system during his debate with Hillary and used by himself and the mega donors to Hillary and the Democratic causes.

 

If you or other white liberals on this forum has issues with how much Trump pays in taxes consult your representatives in Congress and lobby for changes in the tax code.

 

Otherwise your whining has no merit.

President Biden did not appoint a border czar. There is no position in the US administration of "border czar".

VP Harris had no legal authority to enforce or to apply US border or immigration laws. 

The only ignorance  demonstrated is in those who keep insisting that the Vice President was responsible for the enactment of laws (Congress is) or the enforcement of laws (Department of Homeland Security and  CBP is).
