    We were having a very good economy here in Alaska during the Great Recession. In a recession for now.

    I seriously doubt any of those people have payed taxes in the last 10 years, if ever. And I'd like to ask them if this is something new for them or if they have been doing things like this for years

    As did most of our ancestors. Of course, many used horse drawn plows, and before that they were pushed by hand. Then guess what? Technology advanced, and life got better.

    What you dumb fucks that hate seeing a person live a decent life, and not dying from heat stroke, or some illness, ignore is that most of this shit, even the car, can be bought for less then $100.00. Many times one can get them for free. So it matters less what your ancestors lived with, and made possible a better life for a lazy dumb ass like you. It is the idea that they did so.

    And they were the generations that cared less about how much they had, they cared more about how much they could give.

And from such people turn away"

    Now this't interesting ... so you have to experience poverty outside of the US to really know poverty ...

    That sounds like a great GOP Campaign slogan for the upcoming Elections

    The problem is that you all pitched your Russia Tax Cut as a universal good, and that it would pay for itself in increased economic activity.

    Turns out it didn't pay for itself, and it wasn't a universal good...just like we said.

    No. Seeing it outside the U.S. though would certainly make those here in it realize it is not as bad as it could be. Might even help them do a little more to get out of it. If that is over your head let me know.

    See how the Conservative argument has shifted on their tax cut...what used to be pitched as a universal good has devolved into a position that everyone is just too dumb to see the benefit of the Russia Tax Cut that increased many workers' liability while nominally affecting after-tax income.

    Remember, back in December 2017, y'all said the Russia Tax Cut would raise wages by $4K-$9K.

    So you were bullshitting.

    Fox News Host Hasn't Washed Hands for a Decade




    Fox News host Pete Hegseth confessed on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because “germs are not a real thing,” the BBC reports.

    “Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.”
