    Is the Trump campaign throwing out bonuses to the trolls here just bringing up the most insane bullshit ever? Midterms will be a bloodbath...

    Capital gains are not affected by the income tax, because the income tax doesn't apply to capital gains, the capital gains tax does (which yes, is also progressive and the rich pay more).
    I am, of course, referring to net taxes. If you pay $100 in taxes and get $300, your net tax rate is negative.
    And no, overwhelmingly the rich are paying the taxes, which I already proved (unless you are defining the middle class to go up to the top 5%).
    Differently people have different amounts of economic and political power. Money is one way to accumulate it. Fame is another. Organization is another. Walmart has enormous amounts of resources compared to the average person, but they still sell goods for market rates.

    No, undocumented immigrants are generally ineligible for most federal public benefits, like SNAP (food stamps) or cash aid (TANF, SSI)

    Democrats LIE and cheat and give illegals driver's licenses, trucking licenses, free food, medical care, attorneys, etc., while Americans do without. Meanwhile, Democrat elites further enrich themselves through corrupt NGO's. You really don't know any of this, do you? Not that you would considering their media sources certainly don't share these awful stories with you.

    You need to do your research. I could spend a couple of hours doing your research for you in order to educate you but you would only sh*t on it anyway. Do your research. Come to the truth.

    It's called fact checking you must have never done that on any of the false info that you have received.

    So you'll remain uninformed and continue to support the people who steal monolithic sums of wealth from poor and middle-class Americans. So be it.

    Wow -- only 15% of men support the Democratic Party. What does it feel like for so many male Democrats here to be a part of such a small community of effeminate men?




    GOOD DAY

    Everyone: Republican party sucks
    Democrats: Democrat party is great ... and if we do have a problem, its the Republicans fault.

    The speaker’s latest face-plant came after GOP Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, Rob Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, along with Rep.
    Mike Lawler of New York, lost patience with Johnson’s unwillingness to compromise on extending the ACA’s popular health care subsidies.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson’s unenviable situation got a little worse on Wednesday when four centrist Republicans — all from competitive districts — joined a Democratic effort to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act’s expiring health insurance subsidies.
    Alongside last month’s successful push to override his obstructionism on the Epstein files, Wednesday’s revolt adds to a growing chorus
    of GOP lawmakers rejecting their leader’s bad political judgment.

    Johnson’s tumultuous two years as speaker have been marred by embarrassing withdrawn votes and high-profile party defections.
    He ends 2025 in perhaps the worst political position of any speaker in recent memory, facing down both internal party dissent / the
    likelihood of an electoral bruising next year. Wed’s revolt isn’t a one-off — it’s a sign of things to come for a broken Republican Party.

    I can't believe the republicans would post such a nasty message right before the holidays.

    Oh wait.
