  6. wastefull spending - SS, medicare , VA, pentagon ? do you deem these wasteful ? only one that fits at all is pentagon. or should we screw veterans's healthcare? it's like 200 billion/ yr

  7.  @saikyomogresurrect  egg shortage is result of big ag. here an egg farm has 10 million laying chickens. it should be restricted to 1 million max. that means need 10 egg farms instead of 1. so you can isolate the farms better from bird flue. big ag will say that costs more . well in canada the ave farm is 1 million and eggs in canada are cheap.

  23. depends oh how it's applied. for instance india has 200% tariff on cars . if they drop all other tariffs will that mean we only tariff indian cars ? i doubt it. reciprical tariffs never mirror the same products . so we may still apply tariffs on another countries goods across the board because some particular item we export has a tariff in the other country.

  24. many live paycheck to paycheck regardless how much money they make. bring your own lunch, don't go to coffee shops , don't smoke , use public transit , don't splurge on your kids - they don't need nike or a phone.

  27. canadian banks are heavily regulated . because of that there was no subprime crisis in 2008 in canada. they don't need us banks going in and screwing everything up.

  28.  @cheffarrel2014  but they will cut taxes on business and income tax . since rich pay more tax they gain more dollars even if the middle gets more % reduction. that happened last time

  31.  @hadleycontractor496  well if you make it over 100k that means the govt loses a huge amount of tax money . they don't cvollect alot from those individually but there is a huge number of those taxpayers.

  34. the ppp loans were to keep people employed. in most cases if the money went to keep people employed there was actually a net savings . people unemployed were getting their unemployment plus 600 extra per week. in 60% of cases that was more than they were making at work. so keeping them working meant they didn't get the 600 plus unemployment . so less cost to govt. but the states and feds spent all kinds of money elsewhere on covid like hospitals and masks and all kinds of other crap.

  35.  @sandythepolorbear6001  maybe they define tips as coming from customers only so a bonus is not a tip.

  36. imagine if we didn't have the huge national debt that we pay interest on every year? that was 1.16 trillion in 2024. that is half the yearly deficit. so too many programs or employees or not enough tax revenue.

  41. i like the sports team thing and eliminating carried interest. carried interest is the money investment managers charge investors so it's income to managers , it's not a capital gain since they don't invest their own money.

  43. so when he says no tax on tips or overtime does he mean no fica tax either ? likely won't get that

  44. this is also why college is so expensive. kids can get student loans easily so then more will go to college so the college charges more . more demand higher prices. so the problem that student loans were designed to solve actually makes it worse
