Speaking of transparency. Flynn resigns, Benghazi for years but not for this traitor?

This commie of a president needs to go!

“In political and social sciences, communism (from Latin communis, “common, universal”)[1][2] is the philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of the communist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money,[3][4] and the state.[5][6]”

You should know what words mean if you’re going to use them.

Tell that to others who use commie as reference to a liberal. You wouldn’t have the guts to tell him. I know his name, will you tell him the same?

Um. You realize liberals are going in that direction, right? They want government owned and run healthcare. They want to use income taxes to further redistribute incomes to create more equal outcomes. They are against any schools that aren’t owned and run by the govnwment. Hillary did her thesis on Marxism.

So, let me think. Billionaire companies like Exxon, farmers, ranchers, any real estate developer, and others receiving $ billions in subsidies don’t qualify as socialists? They depend from the government for their research and development like if they never found gas (for example)… :stuck_out_tongue:

I am adding: Is this a free market or a government controlled market?

What do you consider a subsidy?

  1. a direct pecuniary aid furnished by a government to a private industrial undertaking, a charity organization, or the like.
  2. a sum paid, often in accordance with a treaty, by one government to another to secure some service in return.
    3 a grant or contribution of money.
  3. money formerly granted by the English Parliament to the crown for special needs.

Is there any idiot in the white house taking care of business or is it just Twitting the favorite job?

How about a real example? Most people consider tax deductions subsidies which isn’t correct. It gets people excited though.

BTW, Jefferson was a liberal…

Can I guess Republicans are against handouts? Yes?

I just can’t believe this is a Capitalist country. I have no name to call it. Too many subsidy recipients, and they are not poor.

FROM THE WEB:

The corn and wheat farmers you cite are big corporate farms. Not family farms that hire people.
Ya know corporate farms like the one Michelle Bachman owns and gets Hugh subsidies. 250,000 in subsidies to be exact.

3rd district of Nebraska (Rep. Adrian Smith - Republican) - $1,736,923,011 in subsidies go to 51,702 recipients.

1st district of Kansas (Rep. Jerry Moran - Republican) - $1,315,979,151 in subsidies go to 75,802 recipients.

4th district of Iowa (Rep. Tom Latham - Republican) - $1,288,622,912 in subsidies go to 35,696 recipients.

9th district of Texas (Rep. Randy Neugebauer - Republican) - $1,227,192,312 in subsidies go to 21,290 recipients.

I may agree, I have no knowledge of what is a subsidy or a tax deduction, but anything anybody receives from the government, specially a particular, it’s called handout, welfare, etc… Why not the corporations since they have rights as individuals. They can vote, they can do this and do that. Welfare kings in my humble opinion.

See? Other countries rely on special tariffs with us in order to make their bucks. They bust their behinds in order to bring their products, I don’t hear them receiving government help where they may be from. They may, but I am too lazy to Google it.

But here in the land of the free market, the prices for crops, produce, fruits, oil, whatever, is tied to the handouts the government gives to whoever is in that industry. Isn’t it time to weed out the flakes? If you can’t make it, as in real estate investing, move aside, somebody else will.

I don’t consider the US market, a free market. That’s my innocent opinion.

Corporations can vote? how many cores does Apple get? What about Facebook?

The tax code says we can reduce our tax liability through allowable deductions. Corporations get deductions too. Reducing taxes is a bit different than receiving more handouts than taxes paid. We have a growing percent of the population where their direct payments from the government are greater than their income taxes. That’s not sustainable.

Republicans might represent those districts. However, democrats created farm subsidies after the Great Depression. The agriculture adjustment act was passed in 1933.

So it’s ok for you to help people avoid income taxes, but it’s bad if corporations try to avoid them?

It’s not a free market anymore and hasn’t been since democrats got a stranglehold on the country in 1932. Since then, taxes are up huge, government spending is up more, and debt is a crazy amount higher. Democrats are determined to use moral authority to take from the rich and redistribute to the poor. There’s nothing free market about that.

I’ve said it before, and I repeat it again. The idiot in the white house is not helping anybody but himself.

Businesses are going broke because of Twhitler going to his adorable Mar a Lago every weekend, costing taxpayers $ millions and other businesses are losing $30K every time he lands in his precious and paid for all taxpayers heaven.

What a waste of money, an incredible amount of money to take care of 2 citizens while cutting benefits for hundreds if not thousands of children while their parents defend our country.

I know you’d prefer that she was dead, but that’s the price of having a president who has a family… which has been all of them. Was it really any different for Obama’s kids? They had secret service details too covering them at their private school.

Obama’s wife and kids lived in the White House with Obama. Melania and kid live in a golden penthouse in NYC while Trump is shuttling between White House and his golf resort.

Ok, but Melania is homeschooling in that penthouse, and the Obama kids left the White House grounds to go to school… So two kids, different grades for 8-10 hours a day of secret service vs. one parent-child pair for 24 hours a day.

what’s the cost of protection in the former vs the latter. There is a significant opportunity to save costs for the former if Melania moves to the white house. You can still homeschool from there. The secret service infrastructure needs to spend a lot more money (due to location) to protect a facility in NY vs some incremental protection for kids going to a school (where by the way a number of other kids who are high value targets also going to)

So Melanie has even less of a reason to not move to White House. Why not make the move and save 30M tax payer money? Instead they are cutting day care for military families and want to kill Sesame Street.

Trump one month = 8 years of Obama + Biden
