    So how is your belief system not the cause of the thing you are complaining about now?

    "We have to cut taxes; now 47% pay no taxes; so our solution to that is to...cut taxes."

    ^That's you.




    A nonsensical position, of course, because you never specify what spending cuts you want, and you're too lazy to think of them, so you retreat to a very generalized statement or random and arbitrary across-the-board percentage cuts that take nothing into account.

    You're just too lazy to be relied upon.
    So your solution would be to raise taxes to the former levels making the bottom 40% pay much more than they do now? I didn't specify what I would cut because it was not the topic of conversation (you always divert to other issues) and it would take too long and you would never remember it, anyway.

    Your exact words were: "liberals believe anyone who is wealthy cheated".

    Anyone = all

    So you went to a hyperbolic extreme to troll and bait people into accommodating your bad faith argument.

    Not every rich person cheated, but many did and many continue to do so.

    How that translates to "all" is just Conservative rhetoric latching onto a hyperbole to cast the wealthy as victims.

    What a load of horseshit. Who buys this crap?




    Many Trump voters are fat, stupid, uneducated white trash.

    You chose Trump and doing so was the worst judgment you've made in your entire adult life.

    You'll never live it down.
    "Many" does not mean "all." I don't have anything to live down since you have never seen me say one thing in support or defense of Trump. Again, your reading comprehension or memory is poor. Or, you simply make assumptions based on kneejerk reactions--if a person does not agree with everything LV426 says they must be (fill in the blank) although it is totally inaccurate.

    My fellow vets and I EARNED the benefits we get. Any of us who use the VA EARNED the right to that. You wouldn't understand. You've never served yourself...you simply TAKE and enjoy the freedom we helped to protect.

    If people like you want to pretend we did not earn it...we just have to laugh at you.

    You are a joke...so that is an easy thing to do.



    You are as much a liar as that abomination you support, IHA. The reason you wish my cancer would come back...and the reason you wish so many others get AIDS and die...the reason you wish painful deaths on so many...

    ...is because you have serious mental problems.

    I hope you get the mental health help you need...and that at some point, you start to enjoy life...rather than hating the way you do.

    This is not a dress rehearsal, IHA. This is it. Try to enjoy it.

    For the record, I doubt you look in a mirror and like what you see. If I am wrong and you do, though, it is an extension of your illness. Anyone with any pride in what you regularly do and say...is a VERY SICK PERSON.

    You ought to work on that.
    You are a taker Frankie. But you won’t be taking much longer.

    I have zero problem with what I say here and neither should you. Sticks and stones Frankie. Sticks and stones

    Interesting. So why do you stay instead of going to Cananda, Mexico, Europe or the Middle East?

    Tax cuts bring in more business thus more tax revenue. If we didn't have the democrat created loopholes for their apple and google-silicon valley liberals, we'd have more.
