"Wouldn't it be nice if we [the US] could get along with Russia?" -Donald Trump

This is why this man needs to be president.

Marco Rubio talking shit about Russia, China, Iran, Terrorists, N. Korea, etc.

You gonna start wars with all of them you gay Cuban bozo?

Dumb fucks on that stage except Trump.

There will be blood in the water if they replay clips of Trump's boasting of the prestigious and defunct Trump University before it got sued for millions for fraud/scam.

It seems that a lot of people doesn't know about the on-going class action lawsuits, despite it beinv one of Trump's most embarrassing not-winning moments.

Ms. Megyn Kelly! If you're reading this, I did the homework for you! Just add these to the playlist if there's any room left!

Spoiler

PS: What's with the Teal colored name, homie? Is that a step closer to Blue?

I doubt Trump had much to do with that , you could put his name on anything for the right price .

20% of 100k is still more than 20% of 20k - so in fact, they are paying more into the system and in all likelihood, use less. Putting higher rates on the proceeding brackets is effectively taxing that persons success. Congratulations on that raise - now give me 33% of it. Thanks for working overtime, give me 25% of it.

Okay so in your point is the flat tax right there. Perfect example. So you just taxed a 100k salary person 20k on their income. They are still able to pay for food, mortgage, car, toys, etc. You also taxed the 20k salary 4k. They already were struggling on rent and food. That tax put a far harder burden on the second person because you were taxing more than just discretionary income.

Think about that same incentive you mentioned you think goes away if we tax more. How much of the incentive of working goes away if we agree to tax them 20% right off the bat? It makes far more sense to say if you try to work and bring in an income, we will tax the starting part of the income low and as you progress, we will take more of the discretionary income that doesn't make or break your break-even each month.

Also, taxation isn't a "you get as much as you put into it" system. It establishes a safety net so at a macro level, you don't permanently keep people poor. You help them on their feet and let them try to make themselves productive to the society again instead of becoming a permanent liability to it.

What does Cruz have against yoga?

Cruz must do DDP yoga.

 

[Handsomebwonderfull]

Are there UFC fighters in it?

No. It's an all woman cast with I think the guy playing Thor as a secretary. It's like a sjw wet dream. Fat awkward funny chick, sassy black woman, slutty scene girl nerd, and nerdy straight woman. It's so bad. Ban me for saying it, but it's so bad.

Kasich is excellent on foreign policy answers.

Kaisich always comes out of these looking good in my opinion- rational, to-the-point answers that seem to actually have specifics.

Loved the, "I'm not biting," line to Wallace too lol.

And what your ilk refuses to address, is what happens when you don't have a progressive tax rate, when capitalism will naturally concentrate wealth, and this will eventually collapse the whole system.

Wealth inequality is a bad thing. No economist will claim other wise.

Where this conversation always gets absurd, is in treating someone making 250K almost as harshly as someone who made 50 million on capital gains.

Kasich seems like a great candidate if it weren't for his helping Lehman to bankruptcy, and sparking the financial crisis.

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

Kasich is the best candidate. His first debate was soooo bad though. He never recovered.

What does Cruz have against yoga?

I thought Marco's "he's very flexible," line was a hell of a zinger. You can be coached on witty comments and barbs by your people but you need to be quick on your feet to come up with a good gag like that based on something that spontaneously occurs.

7:41pm - Yoga session.



Cruz hits Trump on guns, guns, guns for everyone, and Trump gets peppy and tries to interrupt.

“Breathe, breathe, breathe, you can do it. I know it’s hard,” Cruz says.

Rubio: “When they’re done with yoga, can I say something?”

Cruz: “No you cannot. I really hope we don’t see yoga on this stage.”

“Well he’s very flexible, so you never know” Rubio says, pointing to Trump.

Why is your solution to tax the higher income more and not be more forgiving of the lower income? My personal opinion is that the cost of living should be tax free if it is what we are defining as the minimum someone needs to spend to continue living. There should be no deducting from that.

I don't think a flat tax is correct, but the reasoning that someone earns more so they can give up more doesn't jive with me.

Booooooo! Fuck Trump!

It doesn't to me either. However, I don't see how your plan addresses massive wealth concentration, which is what we have today.

If 48 people have as much money as 50% of this country, we are heading for a disaster.

I want to soak the truly rich, because it is bad for the economy to have that much concentrated wealth. Not out of fairness, or to pay for things.

Let's see if Fox's coordinated attack on Trump does anything other than make him stronger.

What you said we could find more common ground on. That's what I was at minimum trying to say. A GOP candidate arguing that would not be proposing a flat tax. It would be a very basic but still a progressive backet system of two brackets. Most of the establishment proposals were about 3-4 rates with a large standard deduction that essentially does what we said with the beginning income. The flat tax ideas though don't include that ideas. They literally argue you should tax cost of living wages the same as a multimillioniares 2nd million dollar. That just doesn't make sense. Not because we are demonizing the rich but we are trying to allow those at the bottom have a starting point to make something of themselves without having a high tax burden on their basic necessities.
