I had to think about how to respond to this because your post has so little to do with the points I made, there's not a good way to respond logically. The best way I know to put this is: I posted about solid economic principle, and you responded with a whole bunch of irreverent and emotional horse crap that has virtually nothing to do with what I posted. Reading your post, I find myself shaking my head and asking what the hell is wrong with that guy? I feel dumber for reading your post, and I'm even compelled to shower. pubby - I'm really not trying to be ugly, but I am seriously quest

I can almost see Cain wince with pain from the mind control device within him when one of us posts something that indicates the Democrat's policies have failed or that Trump is actually succeeding. Then he frantically runs to yahoo or Huff Post (far left propaganda sources) to find an article he believes contradicts us. What he doesn't realize is that it just makes him look dumber still for posting even more false propaganda. The Democrats are headed for an epic butt whooping in the mid-terms.

Yeah, revenues temporarily went up after Clinton increased taxes. And then we went into a recession. Maybe you should study economics instead of relying on poor journalism and partisan rhetoric for your info. Even JFK knew that tax cuts spurred economic growth.

Postman - You're really making a fool out of yourself on this one. It's crystal clear that all you're doing is parroting Socialist propaganda that is inaccurate and misleading. Corporations are not only big people. Corporations can be your neighbor, or people right here on P'Com. Corporations can be stockholders and people who have their savings or their IRAs invested into mutual funds. Corporations have employees, and those employees are us "little people". The United States had the 3rd highest corporate tax in the world, and it was hurting all of us. It made it too expensive for many comp

You're the one who keeps mentioning faces in the feces

You people must have pretty boring lives to actually care about stuff like this.

I can see that there's no discussing this with you. Your party has filled you with misinformation and hateful envy, and you aren't even rational at this point. You reference a handful of large corporations that were considered too big to fail, not realizing that there are millions of other corporations out there that were not a part of that. And you fail to realize that some of the corporations that were "too big to fail" were actually made that way by excessive government regulation. You also fail to realize that the United States had the 3rd highest corporate tax rate in the world, which

I neither love nor hate the rich. Fact is; they are an integral part of any capitalistic economy. And they are NOT taking anything away from millennials or anyone else. Claiming otherwise only shows how misled you are. There have always been wealthy people in our country and there always will be. And that's a GOOD thing! Why? Because it's the wealthy who generates wealth, and wealth that the rest of us can tap into in varying degrees. If there wasn't wealthy, there would be no jobs for the poor or middle class. If there wasn't wealthy, there would not be nearly as much research and de

He's a bitter old man who's barely existing on his SS. As a loyal Democrat, he is conditioned to blame his financial problems on the wealthy instead of taking responsibility for his own poor choices. He perceives me as being one of the "evil rich" (which I'm not anywhere even close rich) who got their money off the backs of the poor (the liberal's zero sum belief), so in his mind I'm a bad guy who took money out of his pocket. No, I just don't hate successful people like you do.

What kind of mind even thinks of stuff like this? As for my political positions: I know this is hard for a DNC loyal Socialist to understand; but I'm actually pretty mainstream in my politics. Pretty conservative for the most part but also quite libertarian on many issues. Very different from the actual behavior (as opposed to stated positions) or either party. I've never had much use for the Democrats, save a few southern conservative Dems, and the Republicans left me during Dubya's presidency when they had the power and opportunity to fix some things and instead they acted like Democrat

A few things There has always been an ultra-rich class in this country who could buy almost any power they wanted. It actually got much better for a few decades with the rise of the middle class, but the wealth and power divide you refer to actually widened under Obama. Contrary to what the Democrats claim; the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, all while the middle class shrank. Also contrary to what the Democrats claim; taking away some of the barriers to business expansion (this includes corporate tax cuts) actually contributes to a stronger middle class by creating good jobs.

No kidding! Interest rates in the 20% brackets, gas rationing, terrible high unemployment, we allowed the middle east to push us around. That's when the Japanese auto manufacturers got a good foothold here and they've hurt us ever since. Carter ran our military down badly. Dark, dark times for our country. Only Obama can challenge him for being the worst president since then.

So you admit that you don't understand how government works?

Here we have another demonstration of what happens when a partisan is spoon fed incomplete information. Tax revenues almost doubled during Reagan's eight years. ALMOST DOUBLED! So why the increasing deficit? It's a one-word answer....SPENDING. The POTUS can not write law or appropriate money; congress does that. The Democrats were in control of the House for most of Reagan's years. Reagan was a good negotiator, and he and Tip O'Neil worked out several compromises during Reagan's term. One was part of the "Reagan Tax Cut". Tip wanted slightly higher taxes on business, which Reagan oppos
