To stop Trump from winning so much we get sick of it.
What about all that Moscow Mitch lets die?
Two years ago Republicans had both houses,the the president and the supreme Court and did nothing to help with healthcare costs. They just cut taxes for companies and that's about it.
No actually I work for myself and I pay a higher percentage of my income than most companies or super rich.
They don’t.
The Senate?
We are rolling alright, straight towards a cliff.
I'm not doing better or worse than 2016 but the bubble is growing and will pop eventually. I just hope for your sake pence isn't brought down with Trump. President Pelosi would be too funny
I hope for everyone's sake we never have a President Pelosi.
We are going broke with a pro business president without any pipe dreams. If there was a projected surplus anytime soon with theses policies you would have a point. What's so bad about a tax system similar to Eisenhower? The 50s were just as robust as now only we built the highways that made America great and we weren't going broke.
We just came out of WW2 at that point and businesses made a ton off the war. The world relied on America for a lot. That's not the case today.
That doesn't change the fact that taxes were higher. There was no welfare yet but companies actually offered and honored pensions. Working people could actually survive and even prosper while the top made only a fraction of what they get now. If you worked full time back then doing almost anything you made enough to buy a home. There is no amount of cuts to entitlements that can offset our debt. There is no amount of growth that can either, raising taxes is the only way to pay our debt.
None that's the problem
Who can take care of themselves making 12.00 per hour? If they are shooting up drugs, they should get fired. I don't understand bringing drug use up as a excuse for companies reaping huge profits by exploiting the government and their employees. Tax payers give billions to pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs. When they are patented by those companies, they charge whatever they want and then pay as little taxes as possible. A large amount of deficit spending goes to help people who work for companies that don't offer healthcare and don't pay enough to feed a family. My point is companies can and should pay more taxes if they are profiting off of tax money. We should offer tax breaks to companies that play fair and tax the ones that don't.
Ok let's take drug use out of the equation... If companies are gov't forced to pay employees more, what if employees don't spend their money "wisely", what if they don't share it with their kids, their family, a neighbor down on their luck, what if they are selfish with it, keep it for themselves? Is the gov't going to punish them with higher taxes? Take their money, make the company fire them because they aren't spending it as the gov't dictates? Where does it stop? Gov't has no business running companies, that's not how the fair market works, also known as socialism, which never ever works.
