Our entire top-heavy tax system?
It's not so much a tax system as a wealth redistribution system.
Our entire top-heavy tax system?
It IS good; been a long time comin. Drain the swamp.
Are you afraid we won't make it?
Dunno if we are going to 'make it' or not. What's the definition of 'make it' we are working under?
I suppose, after it's all over, everyone will meet back in the middle? Kinda where most would most likely belong?
Not lie this, no:

Democrats have been calling Republicans subhuman haters for over 70 years. FDR called Coolidge a Nazi in 1944, and Walter Cronkite did the same to Barry Goldwater 20 years later.
There's nothing new about the Democrat hate directed at Trump and his supporters, except perhaps in terms of the desperation it shows.
Years Before Trump Ran, Democrats Labeled Republicans As Sub-Human Haters
The country is politically tearing itself in half, and you see it as good. Hmm.

Actually the country is uniting against evil like we always do. That is how we have survived all these years. And yes I said Trump is evil.
Which evil do you believe that the country is uniting against? The evil of those who hold different opinions and different policy positions than the lefts?
'Cause it sure looks like a concerted and coordinated effort to stamp those out with left wing violence.

The strength and welfare of this great nation is at stake and the rule of law is what will thwart the assault. This is about much more than "policy". You blind partisan eyes are oblivious but no matter.
Rule of law?
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that when Comey applies an invented 'lack of intent' standard to the felony of mishandling classified materials (which doesn't exist), and he's not called to account for it? And his decision not to prosecute is not vacated? (something that was beyond his purview as director FBI, BTW)
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that no one in the federal government appears to be serious about tracking down the leakers of classified information that are doing damage to the nation and the presently, legitimately elected administration?
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that no one is even considering the illegalities of an administration's excessive FISA court requests conveniently catching the opposition party and of the opposition candidate? That which is clearly of political motivation rather than a nation security concern?
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that no one is even considering the illegalities of an administration's routine unmasking of those US citizens caught up in FISA granted surveillance (a 4th amendment right violation), and then the expanded distribution of that surveillance intel per EO 12333?
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that no one calls out the clear conflict of interest of a sitting AG's meeting with the husband of a presidential candidate while that candidate is under FBI investigation out on a tarmac, assumed to be out of public eye?
So according to the 'rule of law', why is it that the close personal and professional relationship between a former FBI directory and an appointed special counselor, something is clearly prohibited by the statute, is ignored?
'Rule of law' my ass. That's pablum fed to masses (sheeple) to keep them quite. This nation is no longer a nation held by 'rule of law', given that we have two systems and standards of laws, one for the political elite where nearly anything can be forgiven, depending on the political situation, and another for the unwashed masses, where nothing is forgiven.
'Rule of law' my ass.

Greetings, Erik. :2wave:
The last sentence in your post totally sums things up for me! :thumbs: I'd like to see which law books are being used these days, because the margins on the pages in them have got to be so cluttered with all the written notations that say "this does not apply to the political elite" that they must look so sloppy! I further wonder if some of the notations have big smiley faces too! :shock:
Edit: IIRC, Bill Clinton fired 93 attorneys in one day shortly after he was elected. Should Trump consider doing the same?....
You elected the king of the birthers and you dare talk about hate?
The Republican Party was there in the trenches flinging mud back. Hyper-partisan should be abolished not advocated. These types of threads that are solely about trying to trigger the opposite party just clog up the pages and slow the progression of meaningful debate and discussion.
Did you join this site to pick fights or engage debate and discussion?
I feel like we are on the verge of a civil war. I think the left's indifference and callousness may be the final match to light the inferno. Its sad that people are going to need to die in order to settle this dispute.

You are so caught up in the party/opposition party rhetoric you fail to see the underlying corruption and lawlessness of Trump. It has pervaded his entire administration and has nothing to do with Hillary or Obama. You want to make new rules for Trump that give him immunity in a desperate attempt to salvage your ego which you unwisely tied to a known fraudster and conman. I can't even feel sorry for you.

Yes, Bill did, and nary a word was said. Any Republican doing the same, the Earth opened up and swallowed all of Western civilization. Such is the consistency, honesty and integrity of the political propaganda 'news' media. Go figure.
And I see you as always is the one who wants to re-write the Constitution in the name of victimhood, social justice, and all those things that should have nothing to do with our Republic.I see you're a 100 percenter also .
It should be obvious to you; with the GOPartisan responses to you; that you stumbled onto the wrong forum; if you intend to be a Moderate, RN .

Bias and ignorance are everywhere. It's okay; this forum is still very fun.
So where are the criminal charges for all this corruption that you profess exists?
So far we have Trump / Russia collusion: Whiff. Nothing there.
Now we have obstruction meme, and guess what? What's gonna end up being a whiff as well.
Which ridiculous meme is the left going to trot out next? You know darn well that constant stream of baseless leftist attacks isn't gonna stop.
At least the points I raised are backed by facts and these events really did occur. So far against Trump, the left CTs are batting nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. The square root of jack.
It'd be a completely different matter if there actually were some evidence, some facts, something besides gossip, rumors, and innuendo, but those simply aren't enough, and neither is single source anonymous leaks writ large and loud by the political propaganda 'news' media. These are simply not enough with the legal system we have. Show me the money. The left and it's unfounded claims of malfeasance have destroyed their credibility, so no more benefit of the doubt. Show me the money.
"Trump is guilty! We just need an investigation to find out what he's guilty of!"
Yeah, that's like legitimate. :roll:
Perhaps you'd like a different legal system, like "anyone and anything that the left doesn't like, doesn't want, should be put to immediate death / legally prohibited without a trial or due consideration?" Would that appease the left more? Is that what it would take for them to behave themselves like most other civilized people? Like most other adults?
No, I'm not "caught up in the party/opposition party rhetoric". I'm critical of Trump for being stupid on occasion, for doing the wrong thing the wrong way, and shooting himself and his administration in their own feet with a 50 caliber with his big mouth. Those are all his to own, without question. Those are things based on facts, on real events that did actually occur, and not on single source anonymous leaks writ large and loud by the political propaganda 'news' media.
I'd like to see him improve. Perhaps he will, perhaps he won't. We'll have to wait and see.
And still, in all that, I still think that Hillary would have been a worse president and would have been worse for the country.
If there's anyone that's "caught up in the party/opposition party rhetoric" it would appear to be the leftists and the 'political propaganda 'news' media.
