He’s actually admitting that he’s basing his abortion position on what he thinks will give him the best chance to win the election.

Even when politicians think in these terms, they’re not supposed to admit it publicly like this.


He's not only flubbing the issue, he’s flat out admitting that his position is based on political expediency.

Good luck spending the rest of the election season explaining to women that your view on precisely how much their rights should be curtailed is based on polling.

Update:

[jackpot269]

Back in late 2017/early 2018 when we cut business taxes there was a slew of companies giving raises and bonuses to their employees.

Do you have a link or a list? How many is a slew? 5, 10,15, 25 less?

[guitarjosh]

I did. You posted numbers and said IMO this is what it means. No study, no vid, just this is Josh's word. Meaningless!


No we don't agree. Nor do we agree in your race to the bottom.


Neoliberal, supply side, greedy clown, evil Fraud Josh.

You didn't, you posted a quote from Gandhi and then never posted any numbers backing your claim that we can redistribute our way out of global poverty.

Which of these things do you disagree with?

1) businesses are outsourcing factories, investments, & jobs to places like China and Mexico
2) They're doing this because of lower costs in China and Mexico
3) Those lower costs mean bigger, fatter corporate profits.

Evil socialist monster No Evidence Hicks.

Trump is a billionaire and everyone knows that now. I like Billionaires to run businesses and our Country. You don't become a Billionaire by being stupid!

[jackpot269]

so you're "big" on giving tax breaks but also not for giving tax breaks. Gotcha. We can agree on the outrages CEO salaries and bonuses.

So once again I will ask you the question. You rather have anyone (corporations in this case) give more money to a government that is 34 trillion in debt? To a president who gives the double barrel middle finger to the constitution and illegally takes billions of your money to pay off student loans in order to buy votes for the upcoming election? To a president who uses millions to weaponize the justice system in order to go after his political opponent? To a Swamp who wastes billions of dollars every single year on things like ...
In 2022, 17 federal agencies reported $247 billion in estimated improper payments, averaging $20.5 billion of waste per month or about $683 million per day.

The government's monthly waste last year was enough to buy 10 million 2023 Toyota Corollas or 657,000 homes

The top three departments for waste of taxpayer dollars in overpayments were the Department of Health and Human Services, with $154.3 billion in waste; the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, with $37.3 billion; and the Treasury Department, with $25.9 billion.

The federal government’s budget deficit increased to $2.1 trillion over the last 12 months and is more than twice as large as the pre-pandemic deficit

The greatest grift in U.S. history. An Associated Press analysis found that fraudsters potentially stole more than $280 billion in COVID-19 relief funding; another $123 billion was wasted or misspent. Combined, the loss represents 10% of the $4.2 trillion the U.S. government has so far disbursed in COVID relief aid.

They just spend almost 500 million for transgender farming. There are hundreds of example of this kind of waste and we haven't even mention their salaries and benefits.

So I am afraid you can't possibly win the argument about charging more for corporate taxes. IF the government was run with checks and balances even with the slightest resemblance to a company, then there would be plenty left over for studying the type of pig farts smells, Fauci's NIAID $478,188 to turn monkeys transgender, $6.9 million smart toilet analyzes “anal print”, $300,000 to virtual reality penguin study, $25,000 in grants to Chinese surfers, Male Vietnamese Prostitutes ($442,340), Flying Monkey Poop ($168,766), and ($700,000) on Cow burps. The problem is, they do that now while 34 trillion in debt. Do you think they can ever pay it back? What do you think will happen when they don't? The dollar will crash. No one ever thinks that can happen until it happens.

Lower taxes bring in more money. The problem is Washington has a spending problem. Not a tax problem.

Is that what you got out of that? I don't have much trust in giving corporations tax breaks and hoping they will do the right thing. If they build plants, buy new equipment and hire more employees then yes, I am for tax breaks, what I'm not for is across the board tax breaks that for the most part, the people on the top will get.

Instead of giving the government more money, why not give lower earners a tax break.

I believe the PPP program was started in April 2020.

Every POTUS in my lifetime has campaigned on cutting waste none have had much, if any success.

I'm not looking it up, but I would bet you can find the same types of waste in budgets from 2018-2020 also.

All who have served in Washington in the House, Senate, and POTUS has blame in the 33T you like to bringing up.
The last time we broke even or had a surplus was during Bill Clintons time in office. 2 years if I remember right.

Best way to become a billionaire? Must be having hundreds of millions, past down from dad and being a great conn man. I agree, as good as Trump is at being a con man, no way someone stupid could pull it off. He has a cult that believes everything he says and follows him like good little sheep. Even Jim Jones would envy his power over his followers.

Pick the marks and execute your plan. He is the best I have ever seen at being a conn man. Being close to him, or a business partner, never works out for the other side. He has his partners in truth social sued now, and all they tried to do was help him out.

Trump made his money in Real Estate mostly over the years, his dads money was just a small start in regards to his fortune today. Trump wrote a good book "art of the deal" also which I read in which he made a ton of money on. Trump was big on TV also with "Your fired".

Trump didn't make millions taking bribes and selling out our Country like Joe and Hunter Biden did with China and Ukraine.

You are kidding right?

First list had 14 companies on it.
The second was less than 50.
I didn't check to see if any was on both list but we will say weren't.

Thats would be 64 I noticed some was a onetime time $1000.00 bonus. They are getting a 14-point tax break for what could be for ever.

How many corporation in the USA that will do over $500,000 million a year. 1000, 1500, 2500, 10,000? and 64 gave their employees a bone and you think that's a good tradeoff, I don't.

He beat his partners in the early 2000's out of over 200 million when he left them high and dry with the Casino corporation, he started. He also has a history of not paying people, companies, and cities, the money he owes them. If I did that, my wealth would grow at a faster rate.

He did do very well with his reality TV show.

Miscarriages are also abortions that require medical intervention for the health of the mother.

The MAGA Party following the overturning of Roe v. Wade has made medical care for miscarriages illegal in multiple states.

unlike yourself, I will answer your question. Yes. Taxes are part of life. You should know this. I believe the government has a role in society. Protect the country, protect the people, and help the needy. Not the clueless. They should also be fiscally responsible.

I have been consistent my entire adult life about the amount of taxes. It should be 10% flat tax and a VAT/GST of 5-7%. Could even be less than 10% but its a good starting point. A Tax form should be the size of a postcard. You made X amount that year, you send the government 10%. Boom. Done. The IRS should be 1% of the current size. The tax code shouldn't be 70,000+ pages. It's a scheme to allow legal theft. Nothing more.

Also, with only a few exceptions such as the president, the defense secretary etc, civil servants in Washington should only be a part-time gig. Maybe 3 months max a year. The rest of the year, they should be in their State working/running businesses themselves like everyone else.

Also the government shouldn't use taxpayer money to fund State radio like NPR and CBC in Canada.

Didn't we just go through this a few weeks back? You know the whole money in politics thing?

When the country was doing its best in the 50s and 60s the tax rate was 90% of every dollar after you made $470,000.

What your saying is some rich man garbage who don't want to pay tax's.

[DwightShrute]

again, government wasn't 34 trillion in debt in the 50's and 60's. I have said several times that if the government can show they can be fiscally responsible, then I am open to ideas. Right now, they cannot show they have that ability. Not even close.

Quit living in the past, accept the new reality, and quit defending the clueless.

How do you think the debt will be paid if you don't tax rich people?

Again, you want better leaders, take the money out of politics.

you are infatuated with rich people. Rich people have done far more good that over paid civil servants have. Defending those who have put the debt to 34 trillion (2 trillion this year so far and its only April) is insanity.

Let me let you in a a little secret. The debt will never be paid off. It will probably be close to 40 trillion by the end of the year.


History is important but its definitely not everything. The country and the world is a different place. Time for some new ideas rather that revisiting old ones. 90% tax lol. If they implement a 90% tax, the national debt will increase at a faster pace.


I have always said keep money out of politics. A flat tax would go a long ways for that. No chance to make exemptions.

Who controls the politicians now? The rich people that give them money. That's who's running the country. You're blaming the puppet and not the master.

A flat tax is a scam that favor's rich people. You must be rich.

You're kidding, right? Do you think that's all the companies that gave raises? You do realize that the vast majority of people in the country work for non publicly traded companies, right? Amazon ended 2017 with a minimum wage of $12 an hour, by late 2018 it was $15, I believe now it's $19. We actually got the poverty rate to the lowest in history in 2019. Things were going so well democrats were tripping over themselves to take credit for it.

I posted vids you didn't watch, but said you did. I never said redistribute.

You disagree that companies are outsourcing now?

We don't have anything near an unregulated economy. You're just making things up again no evidence Hicks. I post up money to grow and expand businesses so people can have jobs. I'd like to say it's shocking how ignorant you are on economics, but by now I'm used to it.

Right, and what was the executives bonus. That they get every year and not just a onetime check from 2018.

Yeah, it's also companies raising their minimum wages to higher than what Bernie wanted in 2016.

What your saying is some rich man garbage who don't want to pay tax's.

In the 50s and 60s the lowest bracket was 20%. There was no standard deduction like there is now. There were a lot more loopholes and deductions back then, so much so that we passed the Alternative Minimum Tax in 1969 because so many people were making 7 figures in today's money and not paying any federal income tax. During the 90% top bracket we had no Medicare or Medicaid and most government spending was on defense. WWII had caused a lot of out competition to blow itself up, and much of the world was throwing itself into far left politics, so there wasn't much competition for us. We also had the military draft that taught a lot of the men in this country a lot of skills they used as civilians to produce a decent living.

Nice lie of omission.
