Care to point out what I said is wrong or do you prefer to make random baseless accusations without a shred of evidence?

Start with the colleges got paid with the borrowed money already. Now it’s not getting paid back to the lender. So how you can think that’s not spending baffles me. If you lent your kid money and then decide they don’t have to pay you back does that mean you did not spend money?

You say exactly Biden's words. Really dumb take. 

Tax and spend doesn't "pay for itself" you mindless liberal socialist. 

What about when you spend trillions with no new taxes to cover it?  That's bad, right?

When I was a teenager, I thought the Tax-and-Spend Dems were as bad as it gets. Then in my 30s, I encountered the Borrow-and-Spend Republicans and I realized there can be even worse.

At least the Dems had been willing to do the unpopular thing of asking people to reach for their wallets to pay for the poopsicles and endure the backlash. the Bushtards didn't care. Now the vast majority of both parties have fully embraced borrow-and-spend, except for a few stubborn holdouts like Manchin.

Exactly.

I thought the bailout of the banks in 2008 was insane, initiated by Bush, completed by Obama, almost a trillion dollars.  But the covid bailout, not even a bailout, a focking hand out, blatant corruption, initated by Trump, completed by Biden, $4T, just insane.

It doesn't matter, D or R, you get corrupt pieces of sh!t in power and this is what happens.  Then they hoodwink the masses into blaming the other guy, so it can continue.

Living in the past.  They aren’t the same anymore, on many issues. 2020 and beyond should have shown you that. You think Biden amd Trump are the same,MAGA and the squad too,  despite what’s right in front of your rum soaked nose.

I never said Trump and Biden are the same, what I said is they both gave trillions of dollars to Americans within 2 years which was a major cause of the inflation we're seeing now.  Just about every economist agrees on this.  But you idiots want to just blame Biden, and then foolishly think that once Biden is gone everything goes back to awesomeness, which is foolish.

If they are the same at all, it's that they are politicians and will do anything to stay in power including engage in corruption.

I Blame Biden for what he’s done. I blamed Trump for what I didn’t like that he did. And Biden has done a lot. I don’t couch it with “they’re all the same”. What a simple thing to say that’s not even close to being accurate.

You seemed to blame the market correction to Biden's clean energy policy.  That's just stupid.  But if you're willing to blame Trump for giving away trillions of covid money then good for you.

I blame him for not having enough accountability for how the money went out. It’s not all a market correction. Someof it is a result of direct action. A correction is 10 pct. We’re way past that.

No, a correction is 10-20%.  We're at 20% and flirting with a bear market.

If you're talking about individuals, a Google search shows they pay the following

The Top 1% pays 38.8% of all income tax.    

The Top 10% pays 70.8% of all income tax.

If those numbers are correct, do you think it's enough ?


 

As a capitalist pig, it pains me to say this, but when it comes to US corporations, I'm with you.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/14/how-companies-like-amazon-nike-and-fedex-avoid-paying-federal-taxes-.html

There's no way fortune 500 multinational corporations who've never been more profitable, should be able to avoid paying federal taxes.

If individuals have to pay (even if it's only say 10%) they should have to pay as well.

As far as I know, the only way to change this would be to change/streamline the approximately 7000 pages of IRS tax code. 

I don't see that happening anytime soon. Mainly because the CPA lobby would fight to the death to prevent it.

Apparently you don't know that the stock market closed below 30,000 back in June. You also don't know it's about where it was now in December of 2020.

Please tell me what you know about my specific pension. Find some link to it. 

How many nurses do you have to help you function?

I set the benchmark as the end of summer. My subject, I get to do that. And 20 months of no growth. When’s the last time that happened? Nice work joe.  But hey, gas is down 30 cents a gallon. After going up 2 dollars a gallon.

Tumbling from their actual worth or tumbling from what people were paying for them. Because people were regularly paying well above what the actual value of the homes were.

Hey guys everything ebbs and flows!  Just like illegals crossing the border, the numbers go up and down in the market and this has nothing to do about Biden.  It's PURE COINCIDENCE that the past two years just happen to coincide with Biden.

That's just "stoopid." Or maybe it's a "mute point."

Either way- I know far more than you and that's all you need to know or have said to you champ.

Psssssstttttt.........The value of an item is whatever someone else is willing to pay for it.  So no, people aren't paying well above the value of the home.  The value of the home is exactly what someone was willing to pay for it.

Yeah, he literally just tore a page out of RLLD's book.  Anyone who pays more than those guys think a house is worth is committing fraud.  Yet no one is ever prosecuted for said Fraud.  Maybe those two could take a class on free market economics and get back to us.
