What you’re actually upset about is that the Republican Party is, for the first time in recent memory, receiving many times more dollars than the Communist Democrats. It wasn’t a problem for you when the Harris campaign had a billion dollars to spend in just a few months. But now you realize that “moderate” Democrats are abandoning the new Communist majority, and you want to complain about corporate spending. Democrats are not going to retake power and you know it; hence the whining.
The only part of our early history that any Muslims played were the Barbary Pirates, who seized merchant ships and sailors until Thomas Jefferson, refusing to pay ransoms to the Muslims, sent the newly formed U.S. Navy to end their piracy. Barack Obama, a Muslim sympathizer (if not actually a Muslim, himself) is clearly ignorant of American history.
Al Charlatan continues his theme that black Americans must see themselves as victims, unable to succeed without getting public assistance and charity from white Americans. He has made millions of dollars by helping to strain race relations by continually harping about how oppressed black Americans are and why they should be angry about their lot in life instead of using their intelligence and self-worth to succeed.
Reparations, if any, are owed to the descendants of slaves by the descendants of those Africans who rounded their ancestors up, enslaved them, took them to the African coast and sold them in the Atlantic slave trade. Hundreds of thousands of white, mostly Christian men gave their lives in ending slavery in this country, for which the descendants of those slaves should be thankful.
Unfortunately, the Democrat Party, responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow laws, has continued a history of suppression of black Americans by treating them as a monolithic group with a strong dependence on white Democrats for survival. Al Charlatan has capitalized on working with the Democrats on extinguishing the potential for black individuals to excel on the basis of their own ingenuity.
It’s obvious that Justin has never signed the front of a paycheck. The minimum wage is what is paid to newcomers into the job market, representing no proven skills and little value to their employers. As they develop skills and knowledge that shows they can handle more responsibilities, they typically get wage increases and promotions.
If their employer doesn’t recognize the greater value they represent, they can take their new skills and petition another employer from a stronger position than when they sought that first job. The minimum wage was never meant to be the wage for a semi-skilled or highly skilled employee to make a comfortable living with.
If the minimum wage is suddenly increased to $25/hr, hundreds of thousands of entry level jobs will disappear. That $7 package of beef jerky will become a $25 bag. A fast food burger will cost at least $20, as the price has to cover all of the costs of the business owner to produce the burger and leave some profit. Without a profit, the business will close, eliminating the job.
@FloraLuzz_ It’s doubtful this is really a Muslim woman. More likely it’s something Flora Luz made up to be provocative. A Muslim woman would not be applying so much makeup to enhance her appearance.
Medicare for all would mean the entire health industry would be getting paid from the government’s “checkbook.” This would cause the price of every facet of healthcare would increase, and the amount of fraudulent claims would steadily increase, as always happens when government spending is involved.
There would be far too little accountability, and all of you politicians would be pandering to various groups in exchange for campaign contributions. Healthcare professionals would demand raises, and politicians would grant them, expecting donations in return. This has been true of program after program, year after year.
I’m pretty sure Khanna’s math is based on billionaires’ ASSETS, not INCOME. We do not levy taxes on assets, except, of course, with estate taxes which is an abominable policy that ought to be addressed.
The logical fallacy to his pandering to the greedy among us who want to take what others have earned just because they have it and we don’t, is that whenever “government” money is involved, the cost of whatever is being paid for goes up, because the recipients treat the funding like it’s an open checkbook.
This holds true whenever government spending is involved. It is also true that there is usually far too little auditing of the spending, resulting in kickbacks, cost overruns and all manner of fiscal irresponsibility.
Politicians are loathe to carefully manage spending, because they are pandering to some group of voters with every program they dream up. Regardless of party affiliation, politicians shudder at the idea of actually cutting spending, because of the fear of losing votes.
We do not have a revenue problem; we have an accountability problem. It all boils down to too much money being handled by too many people. There are always clever people involved who figure out how to get a portion of the vast sums of money spent on government programs.
@AntiWokeMemes There is no reason Sharia law should not be banned in all 50 states. We are a nation of laws, passed by city, county, state and federal law-making bodies. No other laws should apply.
USAID was a money laundering scheme putting millions of dollars into the pockets of politicians and their selected friends. Very little of the money ever got used for the intended purposes. Besides that, many of the “causes” funded by USAID did not represent things that most Americans would support.
Odd, isn’t it, that after the curtailment of USAID spending, the amount of money available to Democrat candidates from “Act Blue” shrunk by the magnitude of millions of dollars. Pure coincidence…
They wear masks because of the idiots who dox them, endangering themselves and their families. All because they are enforcing the laws passed by the Congress of the United States and signed by Presidents.
Of course, it is acceptable for Antifa and other radicals to wear masks to “protests” where they intend to cause physical harm to law enforcement officials and even against bystanders who they disagree with.
The left gets all worked up about law enforcement officials doing the jobs they’ve been assigned to do, but cares nothing about millions of dollars of damage to vehicles and properties, as well as physical harm to people with whom they disagree. While masked and wearing military-style protective gear, nonetheless.
Hitler’s SS, by the way, rounded up German citizens, not illegal invaders. Only those ignorant of history compare ICE to the SS.
Hey, RAY!…
This phony story was debunked years ago. Do you honestly believe that Biden’s DOJ that held the files for four years did not scour those files looking for any minuscule amount of evidence incriminating Donald Trump?
There’s no evidence there, because after Trump notified Florida authorities of the suspicious activities of Epstein and he (Epstein) was arrested and charged, Epstein hated Trump. Of course, a liberal prosecutor made a sweetheart deal with Epstein after that first arrest that enabled him to build his disgusting empire.
If Epstein had any credible evidence of wrongdoing by Trump, he would have exploited the opportunity to “bury” Trump. It was Trump’s DOJ that had Epstein arrested the second time and had him imprisoned awaiting trial.
@DrRitaDed Integrity and Hillary don’t belong in the same sentence. Using a private server with a personal email to conduct the business of the State Department is not only against the law, it defies sensibility. And that’s just one example of a devious practice.
@hilaryjuliet_ Is there a law against entering the United States without permission of the proper vetting authorities? Does breaking the law make a person a criminal? Should criminals suffer consequences for breaking the law?
It’s not a matter of “hating” anyone. It’s a matter of loving God, family and country. A large part of loving family and country is protecting both from harm. Unvetted people entering the country without the knowledge of and permission from the proper authorities represents a threat to family and country. These people are not “immigrants.” They are criminals by definition as they crossed the border illegally.
