@antediluvianatheist5262 OH man, you're kinda getting into a very overly controlled society. Talk about big brother 2.0. Taking people's money how,,, by force? If I'm reading u wrong, so sorry. But more fair taxing would definitely be more,,,,, legal? I think our system would work fine if we'd just try to remove some of the breaks and loopholes the wealthy use to avoid paying their share.

I don't think they were critical of him. I think you're being petty.

What sucks is, this ad has been around weeks now, how is he not being discharged by his constituents. Obviously the same as McConnell on the other side. We need a great big redo of politicains. At least a lot of them. I'm sure we're all sick of hearing our so called public servants are multi millionaires many times over. Via their connections in business. And what the hell is with the fact that nepotism is supposed to be a no no. Yet it seems they all do it. It was so obvious with Trump. But it seems, the more we know, it's a big family affair in government. I mean, just look at Manchin and family. His power in his list of governmental jobs he's had, has made him and his family, millionaires. And I guess it's legal? Should it be? I don't think so. Bidens son. Trumps whole family. Where does it stop?

I doubt Bernie would have crushed Hillary. I'm sorry but, as boisterous as Sanders is. He gets barely anything done for his constituents. And has pushed through no major changes to average America. Yeah, he has many ideas. And they sound good, because everyone likes free. Now Tim Walz. He has gotten things done in his state. And honestly. I think he would have won if the roles were reversed in that election. For some reason, America is just not approved of a woman president. VP? That's okay it seems. Just not to the head person. Why? I heard several reasons when Hillary ran. But they seemed ridiculous.

I'm for the health care part, because the average low income person rejects having health care because of the insurance aspect of even Obama care. Paid education for all is a little less easy to accept because then the wealthy use it too,, and that seems unfair. Especially when it's predominantly the well to do that go to college anyway. And rather than give the already wealthy free stuff, when they can easily afford to pay,, makes no sense to me. That would allow more money for underprivileged sources. Sorry but the everything for free,, no matter your ability to pay works against the fact that we are a nation in big debt already. In all honesty, if the well to do simply paid their fair share, and management of funds was less screwed up,, we could probably still afford free great health care for low income and the needy. And better programs for retired low income and all those things. Our monetary system is just so f, ed up.

Ya know, it'd be nice if Laura loudmouth would make up her mind where she stands on Trump. She seems to whisk with the winds of profit. And what the hell is she saying when she boasts on Andrew being successful without a hand up... But what about little boy Trump basically living off daddies and borrowed money.

I don't know. I have never seen any really disparaging remarks like on this video. I wouldn't be surprised though. The Republicans

So true that when our country, even the world as a whole, have starving people, people living in poverty, people with disabilities, people with no ability to get health care,,, etc,,, then having people hoarding wealth,, does seem truly wrong. Not just in the US though. Look at so many more poverty wretched countries. Rulers living in palaces. Riding in limos to their private planes and yachts. It's like biblical times all over again. Oh, but they deserve it somehow? Wrong, wrong, wrong.

So true. That's just how the Republicans play. That's why Trump is so,,, imposing on the republican leadership, because he's a billionaire and has many billionaire friends. So let's stand up for the super rich because they're the ones who pad their pockets. The working class pay the bills in the government, so the billionaires an afford to pad the pockets of the lawmakers. Why else, would they give them so many tax breaks. If a billionaire can keep so much more of there profits, they have more to give to the higher up government leaders. What the hell has this fox bitch done in her life? She spouts bullshit and talks like a stupid junior high kid. She's blonde and hot,, thats her claim to fame on fox. Those are the primary requirements for a woman on fox News. Face it, money runs the world. You're important if you have it. You ain't shit, if you don't.

Cone on, first. What is a conservative? Honestly! And what the hell is the benefit for the average American,to boast conservatism? Going back to a point in history? Why and when? Lower taxes. For who? Who's not paying their proper share of taxes? Who do, " conservatives", deem the people who need to pay less taxes? Certainly not the mid to lower income. The trickle down people, that's who. Social programs. Aid for people who work hard, but still can't quite pay all the bills each month. What do, Black conservatives think about those? Need, or get rid of? Maybe we should just ditch the words, conservative and liberal. And replace them with, caring and heartless. Wealthy and poor. Have and have nots. Made it and tried but never will. Boss and laborer. And I'm sorry, but there is no color scheme between a conservative and a liberal. It's still, haves and always trying but never will.

But don't socialist governments still have billionaires?
1
@antediluvianatheist5262 Well sure. I do agree that we should pay our taxes, bills, etc. My point was only just taking the billionaires billions, without getting rules set up to do so. In other words, changing the tax system, gradually to remove, " fairly", so many of the loopholes that have allowed the rich to not pay what they owe, or just their fair share. Obviously I'm not smart enough to know how to do all that, but we've gotten to this point over many years. It'd be hard to fix it in just one year. Plus,,, we've had billionaires for many decades. So I doubt it's something that could happen easily at all. People just need to pay all,, what they own. Not like Trump, for example. That used depreciation, and other loop holes to pay 0,taxes.

@bz3105 You're wrong in generalizing. Many people, Americans and other countries peoples have people as you say, and others that do understand and practice understanding. Sometimes there are just too many that don't,, and it ruins it for all who do.
1
@bz3105 Sorry. But I guess that's where I got,, " generalization". I picked that up in high school psychology class. That was one of her first messages. Kinda lived by that ever since. Like saying all Trump followers are ignorant farm hands and walking dead heads. When usually it's just the ones that attend his rallies,, haha. Honestly, if we just got the darn tax system adjusted like it should be,, we'd pull more revenue. But then where the dollars go is a big factor as well. Deeper and deeper it goes.

Well hell,,look at the crowd at that group. Everyone of them are old retired on big pensions and stock investments. They aren't new in the world of life. Working paycheck to paycheck. Raising a family on just enough any more. They're the people u see on TV commercials for buying gold. They've made their money. Bought their stocks. They've forgotten more than what they know now.
1
Exactly. But only in the political realm. Because they're so damned afraid they'll be called a rino. Maybe even a Dem. This is why these damn, labels, are so messed up. Or, maybe they aren't? Because it shows your true color. Or whether or not you have a heart.
