That's some good typing there. Well done!

Thanks! Hehe, are you single? My Bull is looking at the moment :)

The rich use a next of loopholes and legal tricks to avoid paying taxes. If they didn't, there'd be more than enough money for minorities such as yourself to get free healthcare at any time.

Name some of these loopholes, spic

I don't support Bernie as president, but it seems pretty obvious to anyone who isn't a clueless butthurt idiot:
The people who benefited from capitalism so much that money is essentially irrelevant in their daily lives are the best source of funds to make sure the people who lost at capitalism aren't starving in the streets, causing them to attack the middle class who are doing their best in the same system to win and not lose.

Don't worry, I know he will tax everyone until we're all poor and on welfare

By way of explanation here's how it works in the uk.
By far the biggest proportion of any social welfare budget is old people fact. Working age social benefits payments are a tiny part of government budget. And of those a minute fraction are claiming in any immoral way or trying to game the system. For everyone else, paying for a social safety net can actually save government spending long term. Eg Stability helps give families a more secure environment avoiding compounding social problems that will impact through generations. It can help stop people spiralling into debt or depression and help them get out of the benefits system long term and start contributing financially through employment, tax, purchasing power etc.

Bernie couldn't manage a bowel movement, let alone a country

Yeah Bernie's campaign is known for wanting to tax minorities.

Also in the UK despite the fact we have a proportionally larger welfare system we pay far lower taxes. You've all been brainwashed into thinking yous live in a low taxation system. You don't. Check the facts if you don't believe.

OOPS NOT SUPPOSE TO ASK THAT QUESTION AM I?

Trump only builds fancy places for oligarchs.
reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-trump-property/

A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

Sure, Russians and Trump. But Bernie the Motherfucking Jew Sanders having his honey moon in Russia, oh yeah. I'm just suppose to whip out my big oh cock, jack off and dance around like nothing is there right?

We manage the global stage, our military is like 50x bigger than the UK. If we decided to cut military spending we’d afford healthcare. The question is, does America want to give up our global power when the Chinese government is already moving into Africa, buying land in multiple first world nations, and looking to take over the global stage.

The operation began during a 1978 trip to Czechoslovakia not long after Trump’s marriage to Ivana.

Trump might be bought by Czechoslovakia. He went there soon after he got married :)
Your logic, not mine.

Yeah... because we want our soft power back. China only got that spot on the global stage because we lost so much good will and money fighting endless wars.

I want to point out that this user is actually engaged with reality. I'd rather be able to strongly disagree with a guy like this than the current state of debate where the left popular argument is, "anyone who doesn't wholesale accept my opinion is a nazi, and even asking pertinent questions is an act of bigotry" and the right popular position is to push crazy paranoid ideas in service of top elites and thinking everyone not in a maga hat is an sjw commie.

>Trained not educated.
Got you point, you are right, I'm not a native speaker tho

Guess most people are just trained and not educated

You really believe that normal working people are going to pay 90% tax?
It's simply that people and organisations and contribute greatest to creation of social costs should pay the greatest contribution.
Corporations that consume and use public infrastructure to generate profit should pony up and contribute to paying for that infrastructure.
As an example, if you work a physical job that will impact your health in later years, why should a corporation extract profit from labour that creates health care needs but expect the individual to shoulder the entire financial burden of the same.
Seriously, some of the anti taxation anons here, please engage with this point without childish trolling.
Disagreeing with me doesn't make me think you're a bad person, fascist or bigot. (That shit from the left needs to fucking stop now!)

Yeah, sure, no problem. You want to spend your money, flat sales tax. If you earn over a certain amount, then a flat income tax kicks in on top. Any other questions on super simple economics you'd like explained?

“You really believe that...” no need to even finish reading what you said, because your premise is waaaay off-base with what I was suggesting. No where in there did I suggest that the 90% tax cut would be at the behest of the middle/lower class.

What I said was, 90% on anybody is retarded. You’re retarded and taxation is theft

how do people on welfare avoid paying sales taxes?

checkmate

You literally have third world levels of inequality.
Working people in the US pay far more tax than nations you would probably call commie leftist states.
I have universal health care. I earn 16k US dollars completely tax free. I pay 20% income tax only after that tax free amount. I can earn up to something like 42kUS dollars before my tax threshold increases (40%) and only pay the higher rate on income above that amount. The next threshold is at around 170k US which is then 45% only paid on income above that amount.
I'd be interested to work out the tax burden difference between US anons incomes in this thread compared with UK.

But the rich create jobs and invest in businesses, which sparks economic growth for everyone across the board

Having not read what you say I can say with certainty that it is wrong. It's telling the lengths you go to to avoid engaging with information

That. German here but this is pretty much the same in every country, you basically pay taxes on the money you earned multiple times, your income (you work) gets taxed and the money you spent gets taxed. Plus the taxes you pay for renting, your car, on gas, etc etc, there is a tax for fucking everything.

But thats because, onst established, governement won't let go of a certain tax.
We still have a tax here in germany on sparkling wine that was created in the 19. century to pay for the Imperial German Navy, which doen't exist anymore of course, but the tax still does.

>”working people in the us pay far more in taxes...”
Lol, where did you hear that? Who told you that? Everybody pays the same amount percent wise. Yet another EUfag trying to explain US politics to a US citizen. Stay in your lane.

You think every country in the world pays the same amount of tax?

Wow, Americans really can't see outside their own little bubble. Try travelling a bit and you might learn something about the world.

My tax rates in Germany are equivalent to what they would be in the US at around 30% ±/- 1% and I get so much more for my money it's not even funny. Americans already pay more per capita in taxes to subsidize the healthcare industry than we do for universal coverage. There aren't lines anywhere. I can go get an MRI today if I want one and it's eleven dollars.

If you don't want to support welfare programs hope you like homeless people squatting literally everywhere in the country. If you don't care about other people that's fine but the average person's yearly contribution to SNAP is like two bucks or some shit. The average person's contribution to the military is three orders of magnitude greater.

I agree with you. But I still believe that they should contribute. Corporations still push social costs onto individual private citizens.
I think the anti tax arguments are better made against the current regime (in my country at least) of environmental taxation.
It's a very good example of left leaning taxation principles being an unfair cluster fuck.
But criticising the green party or orgs like extinction rebellion makes me a bigoted fascist apparently

>taxation is theft
But wage theft by the corporations and ceos are just fine. When they stole it, it was legal so it is earned and deserved.

So how much do you earn and what tax do you pay on it? I get my first 16k US completely tax free. I'm genuinely interested how that compares with US income tax

The rich do not create jobs. Demand creates jobs. If people suddenly need hundreds of toilet seat covers each, you're going to see a fuckload of people making them out of their garages and selling them for profit. Toilet seat cover small business will take over the economy. Investors will buy all of them, consolidate them, raise the prices, and fire half the workers. Rich people eliminate jobs to make themselves richer.

working people pay far more in taxes EVERYWHERE because work gets taxed higher than income from shares and such.

I also argue that someone who makes 25k a month and has to pay 5k in taxes is still far, FAR, FAR better off than someone earning 2k a month having to pay 250$ in taxes.

Because our whole system is based on money, it can buy you anything if you just have enough. Did something illegal? Hey, no problem, if you've got enough money for a great lawyer. Did you speed on the highway again? Hey, no problem, because you have to pay a fine that is only 0,01% of your monthly income and you just don't give a fuck.

Thats what makes it so unfair.

Equality does not exist and will never if this continues.

This user gets it. It used to be unconstitutional in the US for feds to tax income

Holy shit! This this a real figure or generalized to make the point? Please tell me that a US citizen earning 25k doesn't pay 5k tax!

Ah fair gotchu. The only thing Americans know how to export is the illusion of success. Look at any shopping mall in the states. Empty. All the cars are rusted out shit heaps that would never be certified here. All the buildings are poor construction from the 50s that are falling apart from no upkeep. There are empty rotting big box stores everywhere and giant fatso's stumbling around in mobility scooters. All they have left is to pretend like everything is fine and desperately cling to some air of imagined superiority but when you're beset by such massive inequality the cracks aren't just beginning to show, they're overwhelming the whole picture.

10% on the first 20k

2000

20% on the next 30k (20% of 5k)

1000

They would pay 3k in federal income tax and maybe a couple hundred in state income tax so call it 3250.

Less than 5 dollars of that would go to poor assistance programs.

and 2k would go straight to the military yet they're worried about the 5 dollars and not the 2000 dollars. Americans are very smart.

>defending an oligarchy

Time to get that tinfoil hat back on

It's like people in the UK too. They go on vacation to Germany or Netherlands and praise the transport, public services etc. and complain about poor equivalent in UK. Then when they are offered to opportunity to have the same services they cry that it's all based on Venezuelan style fantasy economics.
Right no in the UK in Tory voting areas that have been hit by flooding, you have people who voted against public spending crying that their flood defenses are shit and that there hasn't been enough public spending. Fucking morons

Everyone is taxed.

Literally everyone is taxes. When rich people are taxed heavily it doesn't impact their everyday lives, and most of them make their money from exploiting people with less money.

When a poor person is heavily taxed it can directly stop them from buying a necessity, causing them to have to eat less than is healthy for them or struggle in other ways. These are also people with more fundamental jobs that keep the country actually moving.

You should stop using the word inequality. You have no idea what it means.

Yeah you guys caught the retard virus too. At least you're aware at the sheer number of mindless dumbfucks walking the streets lol

Yes, there are multiple taxes on the same dollar. But simplified - if you earn under $20k USD, you wouldn't pay income tax. Only sales tax on your purchases. Over $20k, also a tax on your income. We already do that in theory, but rich people can itemize their income tax and end up paying none. I think that is unacceptable. You earn a dollar, you get a tax on that income. And the same goes for corporations, they earn a billion, they pay a flat tax on it. No escaping it. Too many big companies not only escape taxes, but get subsidized. Capitalism dictates all entities are treated equally. If they can't survive on their business model, they fail and go away. Or learn from their mistakes and streamline, become more efficient. A government giving money to a company that is designed to create a private profit is unnatural in a capitalist structure.

It seems like maybe you don't know what it means.

There is no such thing as wage theft. There are jobs, and they pay a wage. If you think the job is either too hard for the compensation, or pays too little for your expertise, you are free to not take the job. Find more suitable employment elsewhere.

Classic conservative view, let's just go back to where we were before but there is no way back, only a way forward.

Except when employers don't increase wages to make up for inflation we end up in a situation where most citizens don't make what they should be making, and those companies just keep the profits for themselves.

Easy to say for a neet like you, but imagine you'd have to feed a family, imagine you can't afford to move elsewhere for another job.

Actually I was wrong. You get a deduction on the first 12k. So your effective income tax rate is about 5% on 25k or 1200 dollars. Plus a few hundred in state taxes.

2k total on 25k.

What is it called when your employer doesn't pay you for time worked? Wage theft.

And who lets the rich get away with not paying taxes? Who keeps passing tax cuts for the ultra rich? It's not Bernie, dipshit. Oh, and it's not just minorities on welfare. More white people are on welfare.

God damned Trumpanzies.

Ok so UK that's £19k income.
So first 12500 (26.2k UK) is tax free.
20% of remaining £3.5k is £1300 (1.7kUS)
Then national insurance contribution of £1.2k (1.5kUS).
So $3200 US.
So it's about the same at that income level.
I don't have to pay medical insurance and can go to doctor completely free. And also get all required medicines free, plus subsidised lenses for glasses and essential dental care.

First I don't agree with environmentalists generally in their approach to public spending and taxation.
Second, it's the right that opposes public spending. It's the very definition of their politics.

Is your essential dental care just for what would be considered preventative, like cleaning and xrays? A lot of employer plans in the US don't fully cover things like root canals or oral surgery.

The poor do pay some taxes, it's estimated the bottom 60% of earners get more back in benefits than they pay in taxes.

With the tax free element the comparative tax burden changes then as you go up or down.
In the UK people in lower waged working class jobs will pay less, higher earners pay more.
So the US system is harder on working class workers than the US system.
But regardless of the details of the differences I would say it still stands that the idea so pervasive I'm discussions here that paying for a welfare state leads to countries like the UK leaving ordinary working people with crazy tax rates many times that in the US, just isn't true.

Yeah taxes are super comparable. Not make or break stuff at all. Consider the AVERAGE insurance premium in the US is something astronomical like 800 per month.

Morally speaking, Bernie is definitely the guy.

Root canals and surgery are considered essential. Something like surgery would actually be completely free as it would be a medical need.
We get free check ups and heavily subsidised work like fillings and general dental care. Cosmetic stuff like cleaning and whitening, or straightening outside of medical need would be paid for privately. Braces for children would be funded tho.

Second line should say
"So first 12500 (16.2k US) is tax free"

Yeah. I get that people are going to have different arguments to make on taxation but it's just frustrating that in the debate so many people can't reference reality

The worst thing is I’m not sure anymore if you faggots are being ironic or not when you say shit like this. Trumptards literally believe shit like that.
I listened to a massive argument at work the other day between a trumpentooter and a normie and the trumptard was actually getting agitated going on about ‘muh 4d chess’ and shit. It was fucking embarrassing.

When they say "they're going to raise our taxes" they either already make more than 500k a year (so who gives a shit about a little bump on income greater than that) or they're just fundamentally retarded racist shills who use a fake taxation argument to push their klan ideology.

only if they want something from the white

oh for fucks sake.....

Clearly Europeans like yourself think you're a lot smarter than you are.

You're claiming that 2/3rds of the US federal budget is spent on the military (2K out of 3K in taxes).

Let's look at the actual numbers. Trump's proposed budget for TY 2021 is $4.829 trillion, of that $705 billion is defense.

That's 14.6%, or about 1/7th, the total budget. About $438 of that $3,000 in taxes would go to the military.

www.thebalance.com/u-s-federal-budget-breakdown-3305789

>klan ideology

When I say reality I'm taking about how having universal health care isn't actually an economy busting burden. We've established already in this thread that generally across the western world for the majority of working people, the tax burden is essential the same. Yet trumpians still maintain that countries with free health care tax working people into the ground. UK working people pay the same as US but our govt manages to fund a social safety net with that money while the US doesn't.

Never mind got my posts mixed up

somebody forgot about VP's. what do you think the odds are of him picking a VP that enacts his policy if he croaks?

an AOC will. and take it farther then bernie would like it taken

Regarding taxes, what do you think of getting rid of income tax and taxing purchases instead? Rich people spend more fucking money, they'll pay more in taxes. Poor people can't afford to pay much in taxes, well they're fucking poor, they aren't buying much either. But it means everyone contributes.

It's also probably a hell of a lot easier only having to go after businesses for correct reporting than every single human, and businesses can actually pay up when they fuck up on taxes whereas holding most fucks accountable for their income taxes is futile.

You might say, well hurr people will buy more imports, OK, adjust tariffs to match for competitiveness.

The budget /= taxes collected hth and those are just ballpark numbers anyway.

As soon as you explain why we should subsidize the rich with low taxes and subsidized oil and gas corporations or subsidize the military industrial complex

It's a fair description of people who say things like "minorities learn english only to get something from the white man" aka (you). It's not a retort at all.

what would your exemption be ... already get hammered on state taxes... add a fed tax to your video game addiction....see if it will work for your budget

Regressive taxes hurt economic growth/wellness metrics. This is proven mathematically. Progressive taxes stimulate the economy and technological progress. Income tax good. Usage tax bad.

It's visible in the resistance to confronting anything that informs the debate.
I think those of us who are arguing against the type of trumpian arguments seen need need to cut out the hyperbole on racism and shit though.
If people are taken in by false narrative we need to inject some facts or find a way to get people to at least look at the details and reality.
At the end of the day if you want a certain system of government it needs to be voted for and of you can't convince of your argument, shouting racist isn't going to do it either.
I've tried in this thread to pick out one aspect: that social welfare is a non functional economic drain on those countries that have it.
We've compared tax rates for general working stiffs and then looked at what our govt gives us for that tax.
I'm never going to get a trump voters to come away from this thread and do a 180.
But I can engage them on an issue like income tax and point at some simple truths. And that's what will actually have an impact. If you can get one point across then other assumptions tied to that can begin to be questioned too.

Social welfare works fine in Australia.
They have a low unemployment benefit but decent disability and aged pensions.

no? explain why all of a sudden they don't speak ah no English when you want them to do something for that pay check. But payday perfect english spoken.

Lmao yes. Keep reading propaganda while the economy actually booms with record employment esp for minorities and longest economic expansion in decades.

A measure of each of these payments is recovered via the GST (goods and services tax) which is on anything bought in straaya. So even ppl on the dole and pensions pay 10% tax on certain foods and shit. Income tax is lower. A loaf of bread is still about a buck.

Cite sources please.
Go on, I’ll” wait.

3 years of presidency is how much of a decade?

It really depends on how high the federal tax is in relation to how high the income tax would be right? If it ends up being the same dollar amount then it doesn't make a difference. I think sales tax version is just more efficient. It probably wouldn't effect most people in the middle, it would eliminate the whole idea of "tax shelters" and having teams of lawyers funneling income. It would likely tax the really rich more, and would also get people who pay zero income tax to contribute.

I think it's fundamentally important for people to be financially invested in the Republic. If some have to pay taxes, everyone should. I don't like the idea of half of Americans paying no income tax for example, and then voting for politicians who want to spend more. It's not democratic.

ran a construction co. for many years, first hand experience.

Already i can see not one day of manual labor performed by a dead ass like your self,, Leave the economy to the people who know best. Its working a lot better then anyone of these knuckleheads running for Prez could ever do

You're never going to change a trump voter's mind no matter what you do. To even attempt it is silly. There are effective means of affecting the debate though. You can figure it out. :)

>posts racist stereotype
>why you call me raciss man wtf
You're a genius.

It works in every peaceful democratic country that has it.
Lack of social welfare actually increases societal cost.
I sat in university classes in the UK with rich people who's education is publicly subsidised, who complained constantly about welfare. It's that they didn't see themselves as benefits of state aid as it didn't fit their model of what a person in receipt looks like. Like I mentioned earlier, Tory voters in flood regions in England expecting the state to pay for their flood defences. The invested their money in property which impacts water flow, patted themselves on the back for getting such great deals on land that was marsh and flood plane for the last thousands of years, and now expect the rest of the country to socially economically protect their investment. Suddenly small state politics doesn't suit and they come to the rest of the country with their hand out.

There's no hyperbole when they can't stop saying nigger or talking about throwing people from helicopters. Acknowledging that they're racist idiots is step number 1.

well said. i agree 90%....

i do own the tee shirt..... maybe he wasn't wrong

I do not know what you mean.
1. A sales tax doesn't need to be regressive. Most states create variable taxes based on what is being purchased. Food can be taxed lower or not at all depending, while luxury items could be taxed higher.

2. How the fuck is income tax stimulating the economy or technology? Any tax is hindering people. Period. If you want to talk purity, I'm against taxes. I think an ideal government would have only voluntary donations and service based fees. But we have a real country with real laws and real people. If using sales taxes just hypothetically brought in 20% more income to the government because the government doesn't need to spend as much money calculating and collecting it, as well as the super wealthy and corporations paying more to the government, and the poor paying a little but spread out over many people, how exactly would that slow down tech companies versus income tax?

It's a cataclysmic economic endeavor.

First of all, you have to shake of the political mind frame you pol-tard. I know that you won't do that, so I will just call you a retard. Retard.

Without the reign of an oppressive, communist system, the economy is operated on the basic premise of reward and...penalty. Not punishment.

Meaning that, in a sense, if you accumulate a responsible amount of wealth during your lifetime, then you will earn enough to cover your living expenses, to procure medical health during senility, and may have enough to transfer your left-over wealth onto your children as heritage.

That much is "fair". However, most rich people don't transfer left-overs as they should. They transfer wealth. Which is a problem.

And this is where corruption begins to set in.

That is because "money" isn't anyone's property. It's SUPPOSED to be the government's property. In fact, burning one, single solitary dollar bill is a Felony! It's that serious!

So the way in which people appropriate their wealth nowadays in America is ridiculous, psychotic and delirious. It's federal currency. There is no such thing as "my money". You can exchange money for "your" property. But you can't ever own money. It's federal currency.

Meaning that it should be just as illegal AT LEAST to burn a single dollar bill as it is to tuck BILLIONS of dollars away in foreign bank accounts. In fact, when it's done, it is. Because it's illegal to do so without abhorrently grand taxes and tariffs, but they do so with feloniously low tax rates. That is corruption.

The basic premise is that nothing is done as it should, and to call the political system "broken" is to be an out-of-touch with reality retard.

Personal accomplishment is the measure of fortune nowadays. Crippling shame, psychopathy and perpetual dejection haunts those who usurp wealth in such an abhorrently grand scale...

There is actually a penalty for usurping wealth in such a manner. It's called Treachery. And it's not illegal. It's Sinister.

lol i've managed and grew two businesses and lead crews doing commercial construction. if you've done management, you surely must know how to organize people who know more than you. if you've made money you surely must know how to spend less than you're paid.

If you can't draw parallels between those concepts and bernies concepts, I have a feeling your media bubble fits inside of mine.

: )

and still i sit and rot my brain here.....

just shows how much i know

Sales taxes are regressive in practice 100% of the time. This isn't an opinion. It's a well understood economic maxim.

Voluntary fees don't pay for roads and plumbing. You want to stop and put a quarter in every street light as you pass be my guest.

Infrastructure funded by taxes stimulates the economy. Period. We've been through the part of history you're talking about and it sucked. If you want a tax free society you can get pretty close in Western Africa. That's not what you want. You want all the benefits of communal action without having to pay for it. You can have that now. Stop working and be homeless. Make less than 10k per year. Collect government money and live on the street like apparently so many people do willingly.

Well then your all doomed.
Unless of course they're not all raving loons like they are largely represented here on b.
But even in this thread there are at least a few who are engaging with debate on reasonable terms. Of course their minds can be changed.
If someone in this thread thinks the UK puts a disproportionate tax burden on working class because it's a country with a social safety net, there is possibility to challenge that belief. yes there will be some who just engage in defensive trolling because cognitive dissonance is an unpleasant feeling but you can't write everyone off

Sure user. Let s make the people on $7.25/hr pay the 20T we owe while we let the rich lower their tax burden to effectively 0

A tax that pays for health care works out far less expensive than paying as a private individual.
In this case non taxation is a hindrance and you have varied benefits to society. Individuals pay less and ultimately keep more of their income, healthy populations are more economically productive for example

Ahhh freedom

They haven't benefitted from society in the same way billionaires have. You pay tribute in accordance to your rewards. It's very easy to understand if you can manage to fire a couple neurons in your skull.

are you not from america? based on the time you posted and you not being tricked by koch media I gotta wonder. I am from the states, but it's rare for someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about to post on Cred Forums

The economy was already climbing when Obama was in office. Also it's """"booming"""" because of course business and stocks are doing well when you D O N ' T P A Y T A X E S. Muh Ecomony (tm) has nothing to do with the quality of life of the average citizen.

Wait who was president most of that decade?

Getting 20% of nothing isn’t a big deal.

are you
?

you seem to not be retarded. check out the two santas theory for a nice overview of republicans running federal deficits.

As a minority the trump years are the worst years to not be a white American. Trump has unleashed the racist in every fucking idiot that inhabits this country. If I could pack my things with my family and go I would move to canada.

What braindead Bernie-loving commies on Cred Forums just don't get is that a lot of people actually agree that the big corporations need a good fucking. The problem is Bernie, like all the other dems, wants fully open borders and spend trillions of dollars on climate change rubbish.

Trump is winning in 2020, without any doubt whatsoever. Current dem field is a joke.

lol let me know when trump deportation numbers catch up to obamas. you fell for koch state media.

bernie is wrong about nuclear but right about everything else related to climate change.

Yeah my passport is blue. It turns out listening, reading and thinking work. Thumbs up based user.

I dont agree with all bernie says but free education and healthcare are ventures worth voting for.

As you can see from left and right, the average american is a fat idiot with an IQ of 2 that cant count to 3. And they could certainly use the government investing in their well being.

The rest of Bernie positions are not all that great and I could give a damn about climate change or 15 dollars an hour

On immigration i dont care. If I can get Juan or Harambe to come to America and pay taxes I prefer him over a John Smith hillbilly that is a leech on society and despite all propaganda white americans bear the brunt of welfare

Funny how black unemployment numbers are down, black welfare is down, and the average wage of a black man is up.
Also not a single "trump supporter" i know hates blacks. Thats a fear mongering tactic used by the drive by media.

Bernie does not want to fully open borders lol. Renewable energy is not 'climate change rubbish' it's literally the future.

Black unemployment was zero under slavery. You would prefer that though huh, whitehood?

Im cool with renewable energy as long as it comes natually and is cost effective. I know the tech is getting better and cheeper but im totally over the huge push that gov is force feeding it down everyones throats. The market will dictate when the purchasing public is ready.

Funny how I am hispanic but my brother blocked me on Facebook because he considers himself white.

Also funny that my coworkers have negative impressions that they are open about since trump got elected.

Btw I'm a puerto rican. American by birth. I could even run for president and immigration is meaningless to me.


Trump is a shit for non whites user. You keep reading foxnews and think no whites love him but if you talk to actual real people you will learn the truth that he is garbage. My salary is still the same 32k a year I earned since Obama years.

Based.

So your saying a black person only wants to work if they are forced to. Sterotype confirmed. Thanks annon.

Sounds like you should be asking for a raise or work for a non shit company.

By the way let me expand on my brother story.

The thing was about JLo and Shakira half time. I made a post. It evolved into Trump policies. The future. And whatever else. Trump is the most divisive president ever.

America used to say united we stand but Trump makes sure we implode from within and divided under trump we will fall.

I work for the army user.

Everything posted her is fiction. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact. Go back to cnn troll.

Huh....last i check obmama started that.
Couldnt even disagree with a single thing he says or did without being lablel a racist or biggot.
Crazy how there was a huge white fallout from that?

You keep reading foxnews and think no whites love him but if you talk to actual real people you will learn the truth that he is garbage.

This is my reply to you. Already posted before

Dont have to believe me. Ask anyone not white in a candid conversation at the park. But you have 0 nonwhite friends for sure

Elisted? Whats holding you back from getting a higher rank? Once your service is up there are tons of veteran friendly workplaces hiring.
Also thank you for your service.

Let me clarify one thing. Ameeica is a racist shithole if you are not white.

But trump has made the racists not be afraid to come out.

Most welfare is used by majority white, Southern states.

>try harder

Actually i have several black friends, a couple hispanic, and a couple friends from japan.
The black friends all agree that most of their culture is centered around playing the slavery blame game for as long as they can, and they arnt going to "get better" ultil they themselves choose to stop being bitter and make themselfs to be more than a label or victim. Thats worked for nobody long term, reguarldless of race.

Non-whites are 10x more racist than whites, wake up dude.

Come visit michigan. We are a very open and welcoming people to all. Heck detroit is probably becoming one of the most diverse citys.

Very difficult story. I have a bachelors of science in electronics engineering technology. I joined to be an officer. My clavicle was fractured during a combatives exercise and my career derailed. I used to run 1254 but I did a ruck march in korea and lost cartilage in my knees.

I'm physically jacked up.

You dont need to thank me for my service. I work with signal but lately I do a lot of softer jobs. I'm not a hero.

When i was a civilian i had very few job offers. When I was up for reenlistment maybe due to my own or ill informed but there was no employers rushing to hire me and I struggled to explain what I did in the military that is experience. My job relates to my degree but most of the time I do other type of work. Cleaning, truck maintenance, mentoring soldiers, train on military tasks that civilians dont care like CBRN. So I decided to reenlist until 2022

you act like they dont in turn use that money to expand and grow their business for the benefit of it's employees and area it's based in, creating jobs, stimulating growth and raising the quality of life

People on welfare should have their voting rights suspended until they reach the purported goal of such aid systems - self sufficiency.

Also, niggers tongue my anus.

Several like how many? How well you know them? How often you talk deeper topics?

Whites and nonwhites can be racist and I can agree. Blacks have been racist to me a lot. And I had a black grandfather. But the white racism is disdain. The black racism is simply bad attitude. I dont know if that answer will satisfy you butit s my answer.

One day for sure. Detroit is the capital of car companies and that sounds exciting for sure

My grandfather was a very respectable man. He would find people like you and calmly express his views. He was never mad and never raised his voice. I kinda wish I was like him many times. He had a lot of patience.

My grandfather was the son of a farmer. He made it to 8th grade and hated farms. So he learned carpentry. From carpentry he learned construction. He started as a worker but he became the foreman. He did many things and was proud of his work. He worked for rich people and government buildings. He also built a lot of gas stations.

You can hate and insult someone you dont know but no insult can take memories of a great man.

The politics of Puerto Rico though are based on our relationship with usa so we dont identify Democrat or Republicans. Our parties are statehood independence and commonwealth. My grandpa wanted independence from usa.

Your both fagoots. Gtfo with this gay monopoly propaganda

KKK get out

Simple, you're a disingenuous, racist moron who is over simplifying complicated problems.

Don't hate the player bro

Ah, Puerto Rico, missed that part. Different story there. Say hi to my cousins in Ponce for me. Your gramps sounds like a solid dude supporting independence. Based nigrapappy.

They pay normal tax rate until the wealth exceeds a ridiculous number. Then everything after the ridiculous number is taxed at 90%. I mean you'll never amass a million$ in your whole life. From now until grave you'll never make a million. Why do you let fox news convince you that billionaires need to be treated with kid gloves? Why do you give a fuck how much taxes a billionaire has to chip in to help society function?

Just by your bent rant itself you can see how radical you are. Seething.

And yea, many people can still make a Million easily in their life time.

What is the difference between a million and a billion? About a billion dollars.

You are missing his point entirely. The 1% that controls 90% of the wealth in america make that in a minute not a lifetime. They can afford to pay 90% of that ridiculous amount to pay the country that lets them get rich beyond their wildest dreams. They will still be richer than in any other country in this world and we have a 20T debt that isnt getting paid.

Remember when republicans promised to bring the debt down? But you remember when he promised a 1T infrastructure bill? But then he promised a wall. Then he promised a space force. But then the debt has actually been going up under your president. Are you even awake??

Lol. I'm from Europe and I can tell you that the net benefit was a total lie over here. Immigrants puts a great strain on welfare like schools, hospitals and welfare-benefits.
Since 2014 less than 10% have an actual job and they are mostly subsidized by the state. On average it takes 17 years for MENA immigrants to learn the basics of the language.
Some groups are worse than others but the Somalie community who started to arrive in the nineties are overrepresented in unemployment, bad school results, violent crime, drug crimes and sexual crimes.
Statistics aren't racist, bro and Bernies policies will act like a magnet for these groups. I used to work within the municipality but due to death threats... Sorry...

Prove it. Timestamp your passport or GTFO.

Your ballpark is off by a factor of at least 4. One reason is the graph you're working from isn't the federal budget, it's about 1/3rd the federal budget.
