    LIE and LAME. Give us a link proving that corporations paid no taxes.

    By the way, corporations don't actually pay taxes. They pass that cost along to idiots like you who don't know how the REAL world works and swallows the bullshit CNN feeds them.

    Flash: Democratic programs are irresponsible

    Also Flash: Democratic programs are responsible but won't be responsible because Democrats won't raise taxes high enough to make them responsible, even though that is what Democrats are proposing.

    Flash just wants to maintain a BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE because he's lazy as fuck.

    More government spending does not make America great again. And all Americans should share in any government obligations.

    My main objection is that many of these programs accomplish little, reward additional spending, and give money to those liberals are often complaining about--contractors, wealthy businesses, multiple third parties who never accomplish the job but manage to spend all the money. Liberals argue that the wealthy rule the nation in their interests. While this is much too simplistic a view, the programs pushed by both Democrats and Republicans result in the very thing they criticize.

    According to their ability to pay, and it needs to be accepted that the poor have no ability to pay.

    Progressive taxation is the only way a great country will have the revenue to distinguish itself from a mediocre country.

    Those without jobs will not get the healthcare since they pay no payroll taxes?

    Wasteful spending is a poor way to add to the GDP when you are taking it from the taxpayers. If the taxpayers kept more of that money and spent it they would also be adding to the GDP but in a more productive manner.

    You mean wouldn't it be nice if somebody else paid for our college.

    It is essentially free to many students today who get grants. A recent story said wealthy parents were giving custody of their kids to others so they qualified for grants.

    One problem is colleges popping up like those you see advertised on TV which exist only because of federal grants and loans The college is free to the students who often do not complete their programs, get a poor education, and do not repay their loans. When government money is available some will find ways to take advantage of it. It is taking away from those who really benefit from it.

    Or they could just sit on it which does nothing for the GDP.
