He probably pays more in taxes than you do. And gets fewer back in return. :cof1:

I pay a lot, I make enough to be right in the spot between so wealthy you don't have to pay taxes and wealthy enough to pay in the highest bracket.

BUT, I get a lot for it, and when you look at what I get, its a great deal.

What about those who pay little to nothing yet get the same as those who pay a lot more? If that's your idea of good, you're a fool.

Providing for them helps me out in many ways.

What I get for my taxes is so much more than I could get if I tried to buy it on the open market.

So it's really not a collective. It's one group honorable enough to be responsible, contributing citizens and another group that lives a life of entitlement.

It doesn't help me in any way. Tell you what, if it helps you so much, do it yourself without having to be told through mandated taxes and prove you really care.

1) No, its a collective.

2) No, it only works if we are all required.

3) Ill tell you what, don't use anything for which you did not personally pay for production, research or development. No internet, no medicine, no roads, no national security, no food inspected by the USDA, no clean air, no food unless you grow it organically.. then Ill agree that you can stop paying taxes.

Sorry to hear you hate living in this country so much CFM.

I hear the weather in Somalia is nice this time of year. You should really consider a move .
 
Grant and Jackson are two of the worst presidents we've ever had. The thing which distinguishes Grant is how important his war record was. Jackson was successful in some fairly unimportant campaigns, including Nawlins during the (already negotiated over at Ghent, across the sea) War of 1812. Grant also didn't overtly cause the screw-ups which plagued his administration. Jackson was a very hands-on failure.

1) It's not a collective because
2) Not everyone is required.
3) I pay for all those things. The problem is many people who benefit from them don't pay a dime toward them yet you still call it a collective. If a collective means everyone is required to help pay, explain how we still are when almost half don't pay income taxes that fund those things.

Sorry to hear you're one of those that benefits from a white person like me supporting you.

I know that providing is a worthwhile cause. Try it sometime boy.

I know its talked about a lot. I know people use it for lots of things. Its simply not defined, like the boogy man, that way one can call anything politically correct and have succeeded in criticizing it without taking a real stance on why.


Trump opposes putting Tubman on the $20, because its politically correct. What does that mean?

I'll stab at it lol.

Tubman was non-white and a woman so it's politically correct to put her on currency. To further illustrate, the epitome of political incorrectness would be to remove her from a currency bill and replace her with an old white guy.

That would be politically incorrect.

You have given a circular example but not an explanation... I don't see it, why would the example be politically incorrect? It does not seem politically correct to me.

If we have a public figure who is less popular now and one we want to honor why is it politically correct to switch them out? What does the color of the hero's skin have to do with it?

Using your logic it seems to me it would be bad to ever honor a black person anymore because you have deemed it the "politically correct" thing to do?
