@BetoORourke So basically the US has to let anybody into the country because if we say 'no' and they don't want to take 'no' for an answer and kill themselves crossing the border, then Trump is to blame? Yeah, uh, no, you're a fucking idiot.
@Jeff_Jacoby They are theoretically ineligible. They're still entitled to put their kids in schools, free after care and unless you're going to let people die in the streets, which we won't, saying they're ineligible for means-tested welfare is pointless. They CANNOT actually be excluded.
Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics.
@Trade_WarLord @cwalenta The tax incidence depends on relative elasticities of supply and demand, but assuming it passes through, the question of tax allocation is pertinent because the costs will STILL pass thru, YES, but differently, thru different products.
6/6 What's at stake isn't a cable news segment. It's the existence of rational conversation in America. If they can prevent you from asking honest questions, there's nothing they can't do. More on this tomorrow night.
5/6 But our leaders aren't even asking these questions. Instead they're trying to silence anyone who raises them, while at the same time promoting mindless tribalism for political expedience. Division keeps them in power.
4/6 These are the questions our leaders out to be asking every day. How does a nation of 325 million people hang together? What do we all have in common as Americans? Why should we remain a country? Nothing is more important than answering this.
3/6 "Do you get along better with your neighbors and coworkers if you can't understand each other, or share no common values? And if diversity is our strength, why is it OK for the rest of us to surrender our freedom of speech to just a handful of tech monopolies?"
2/6 Here are the words from our segment: "How precisely is diversity our strength? Can you think of other institutions, such as marriage or military units, in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are?"
1/6 The organized left is lying about a segment we did on Friday night. Our topic was "diversity is our strength," a phrase our leaders use to end conversation rather than spur it. You hear it all the time. We asked, what exactly does it mean? Is it true?
