Lets Raise Taxes, For Liberals

who is in charge of the house again? the house makes the budget.

Who was in charge of the House initially and who signs off on stuff? Who pushed for and signed off on a gigantic tax cut for himself?

You don't do the whole personal responsibility for presidents thing do you? Wait. I bet you did during Obama.

the Dems are now
remember the Republicans have had complete control of the US gov. for the last two years and the Dems had nothing to do with the spending during that time.
Yes the deficit is going to go up and Trump has to sign the bills that have to do with that spending
The Republicans blamed Obama for all the debt that was run up when he was in office , no matter who was running the House or the senate
and now that we have a Republican President they want to blame Congress ( the House , seeing it is in the Dems, hands now ) well they can't have it both ways , if you are going to blame a Dem. President for all the deficits and the debt you have to blame a Republican President the same
have a nice day
 
What I propose is voting out the Trump republicans who have given us....

The highest US debt in history.

The highest US deficit in history.

The highest US trade deficit in history.

The highest US wealth inequality in history.

You mean the Obama Democrats, they're the ones that gave us all of the above.

Interesting but I have to ask over the last 5 Presidents haven't 4 of them do the same
according to this US Deficit by President: What Budgets Hide
of the last 5 Presidents 4 of them have had the Highest debt in history and the highest deficit in history and 3 of them were Republicans and Trump is heading to be on that list too.
yes Obama did do it but so did Reagan, Bush I , Bush II and trump is on his way
so maybe you shouldn't blame Obama but all of them that have done it
have a nice day

yea and they are not paying taxes.
The Post's T.W. Farnum did some research and found that out of the total sum, just 638 workers on Capitol Hill owe the IRS $9.3 million in back taxes. As in, overdue. The IRS gets stiffed by the legislative body that controls its budget. How Washington works.

The lying thieves that we elect to govern us are greed driven swindlers that would do anything to enhance their own lives regardless of the impact on the American People.

That is why they are working so hard to get rid of Trump. Trump is exposing their greed and avarice for what it is.

Nothing demonstrates the true state of anything better than comparing it to something else.

Yes, lets give them an address for they can write their own personal check out


"Liberal ideas, Ideas so good they have to be mandatory"
 
Actually not, they too are OK with borrow and spend. The main (political?) appeal of most liberal plans (proposals?) is that they are said to be funded (paid for?) by taxing (only?) a minority ("the rich"?) to offer increased (federal) government subsidies to the majority (including most of the "middle class"). The reason that most of these liberal policies are not proposed at the state/local government level is that the (rich?) minority would be able to "vote with their feet" and thus avoid picking up the tab.



My post was a tad-bit tongue-in-cheek. Republican admins tend to run up higher deficit/debt than Dems, which is fact, so theoretically, not necessarily fact, all the more reason that increased taxes by the following Dem admin are necessary to cover the tab run-up by the Reps.

Lets eliminate the SALT (State And Local Tax) tax deduction instead of capping it.
 
Why should we be the only ones paying to fix all these problems that benefit you just as much as us? But given that 62% of GDP is actually produced in counties that voted for Hillary Clinton despite that only being 1/6th of all U.S. counties generally when you give tax cuts to the wealthy liberals are the primary beneficiaries.

I mean if you're a college educated liberal living in New York, San Fran, LA, Chicago, Seattle... you're almost certainly making six figures which puts you in a higher tax bracket even though cost of living makes you essentially middle class.

The majority of Millionaires and Billionaires say they should be paying more in tax. It's really only a bunch of poor dumb white people who think they're more important than they really are that are constantly bitching about taxes and in many cases they barely even pay any.
Those "poor dumb white people" are what keeps the companies going by doing the manual labor. This is why Trump was voted in, because liberals don't care about the average american, only the elites. Let's see what they have done to help those people in the past three decades? Nothing. Wait a minute, they did sign bad trade deals that shipped our jobs overseas.
 
What's cute is them campaigning now in the midwest when they don't give a sh** about the Midwest, because the Midwest is who they targeted in these bad trade deals.

Jesus christ the dumb **** right wingers say. Fine, you go pay for wars and go fight them. Hypocrite right wingers have no problem with the insane spending to murder brown people.

Also, red state ****holes can stop taking money from blue states

What happens once many of those jobs are automated? Bringing jobs on the verge of extinction with no means of transitioning that workforce is just kicking the can down the road; and not very far at that.

Not so, since the national debt continues to increase no matter who holds majority power in DC.

We know what will happen, the hypocritical right that only cares about things that affect them and their kind, will demand the government help them out, or even provide salaries. They do it all the time. Whine about spending, don't balk when millions come to them. Whine how those poor inner city people should just go get better jobs or move, but when their manufacturing/coal jobs go away, suddenly tehy demand the government bring them back. ANd they are so dumb, they actually though the con man Trump would bring them back.
 
I've got an idea, Michael Bloomberg could be required to pay 99% of all his assets, income, and holdings as tax.

The astounding stupidity of your statement is so sad I almost feel bad for you. You voted for this guy...

Because you think he cares about average Americans? Have you considered the possibility that the reason you're just an average American is because you don't make very bright choices?

And yet that selfish, self-center man has done more for those people you claim he doesn't care about than the last three Democratic Presidents.

Let's raise taxes on people who butcher the English language in their thread titles.

This is becoming a religious thing, right?

We basically have that now. Liberal blue states subsidize conservative red states.
How about a corollary, only liberals get government assistance?

No he hasn’t. Manufacturing is in recession. Farmers are going bankrupt. The stock market is doing well but average Americans don’t have sizable holdings.
In the meantime, he’s trying to take away health insurance and it’s been recently reported that if re-elected he’ll cut Medicare and Social Security.
