Re: Promises Unkept …

No, I'm the kind of guy who runs his own business and does his own taxes (literally filling out tax forms the old-fashioned way) and gets annoyed at how many man hours I have to spend book-keeping, only to cut a check to the feds every year that will basically vanish into a black hole.

Re: Promises Unkept …

We can debate the merits/justifications of wealth redistribution, but the bottom line is, if you pay more in taxes than the benefits/services you receive from the government, then your wealth is being redistributed. If you pay less in taxes than the benefits/services you receive from the government,...

Maybe the Queen can help him with his trans-oceanic railroad.

Re: From FOX News Tonight.

I'm simply pointing out that this is nothing new. The only thing new about it is somebody getting fired. A host can call President Trump a "doddering dictator wannabe" on-air and not only keep her job, but the network deletes the video as if it never happened and nobody (other than Newsweek) bats an...

Re: Promises Unkept …

Yet you all vote for people who use the power of the government to redistribute wealth, taking it from those who earned it and giving it to those who don't.

Re: From FOX News Tonight.

I agree that it was a ridiculous graphic to put on-screen. But fired? This isn't the first time a sitting President has been referred to as a "wannabe dictator" on a cable news network. MSNBC has since deleted the video, but there is a Newsweek article referencing this. Nov. 2018 Headline: "Donald T...

Re: Biden has plans to build a railroad across the entire Indian Ocean

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think there might be some kind of a pattern to the responses here. He misspoke The only people kvetching about this are Republicans. Their candidate is arguably in worse shape. Donald Trump Trump’s psychosis Trump. Trump is sure he's the smartest guy in the r...

Re: Biden has plans to build a railroad across the entire Indian Ocean

I ask only because you seem to be suggesting that Biden, being somewhere above the threshold of a vegetable, is mentally able to be President. The problem I have with Biden in regards to his mental abilities is that every single time he wanders off-script, we get gaffes like this one. His cognition ...

Re: Biden has plans to build a railroad across the entire Indian Ocean

So in your opinion, how big is the gap between "vegetable" and "mentally able to perform the duties of President" ?

Re: Dave Ramsey and Mr Bean are right, keep driving your current car as long as can...

I drove my 2001 Chevy Blazer until late last year when it literally rusted out. I paid $2500 for it in 2011 with 117k miles on it and it was my daily driver since then. Never needed any major repairs and was driving perfectly if not for the rust. They sure put enough damn salt on the roads in these ...

Re: Biden has plans to build a railroad across the entire Indian Ocean

Misspoke? So what did he intend to say? I don’t really know. Nor do I really care. Thanks for admitting that when you say he misspoke, you really have no clue if that was the case or not. And for not caring, you sure do go out of your way to defend Biden every single time somebody here suggests or ...

Re: Biden has plans to build a railroad across the entire Indian Ocean

Actually that claim about AOC has been debunked.

As to Biden's recent statement, the forum liberals are strangely silent on this one.

"Reportedly"
Mediate citing the Miami New times citing a "Knowledgeable source"

Well I'm sold. It MUST be true.
