Trump 2025

Quote: AZDuffman

If he we need more failures like him. Best POTUS of our time. Getting results like never before. On pace to win Nobel Peace Prize for something besides skin color. Ans making the TDS crowd like yourself wet their pants every time they see him on the news.

More lies.

How can I when I haven't seen anything to slam but that is not the point.

Show me where I slammed a democRAT but failed to slam a republican for doing the same thing.

Please answer. Which is worse for the ‘Average Joe’? A tariff on imported upscale jewelry or gasoline taxes? A tariff on yachts or taxes on soda pop? A tariff on foie gras or taxes on McDonalds?

It’s really simple. The top 1% currently pay more than 40% of all the taxes. It seems many don’t feel that’s their fair share. In summary , they want the rest of society to be supported by the 1%.

What is their ‘fair share’? I think we are at the sweet spot.

SooPoo, what is the effective tax rate for the 1%, versus the rest?

Very good point.

I'd like to add:


There's an obvious difference in Maga & Rino, both reds.

Meaning, the far-left usually cannot see the difference.

They can see the TDS difference, but usually not the corruption difference.


Like when Cheney lied and destroyed Iraq.

Or when his daughter lied and destroyed J6 evidence.

Or when Barr was communicating with Fanni in GA trying to convict Trump.


Somehow, the far-left associates those that are red with Maga, believe it or not.

Rinos are notoriously like snakes.

They're very sneaky, like stabbing folks in the back, as Barr tried.


Folks like Cheney, McCain, Romney, Ryan, Pence, Barr, etc. are red traitors.

Much worse than the blues.

Most blues are not traitors.

But they are effectively on the same side as the Banking Cartel.


The far-left doesn't seem to be able to see the distance.

In other words, they think a Rino puts America first, when a Rino goes after the corruption war money.

The traitors seem to choose money over life (including American lives).


We can see this in the mandates.

Reds that generally go against Trump, with a few exceptions.

There are times Trump has to side with the Banking Cartel, as opposed to America first, out of necessity.

Yup, I've said plenty of times that if Democrats commit crimes they should go to jail just like I call for Republicans to do so.. I've made plenty of comparison of Democrat and Republicans administrations doing the same things.

You want me to help you out to elect Republicans? That's your job.

As far as I'm concerned Trump took one of stupidest routes on illegal immigration. If the pentolites for hiring illegals aren't high enough, keep making them higher until employers are afraid to ever get caught. Then make sure hiring of temporary workers is solid for farmers and such. Then the strain on the border is limited to criminals and you don't need to employ national guard, FBI agents, in massive expansive border policy.

Trump obviously loves a police state. 'Cause that's what it looks like.

This is a good post. Let our Congress and President decide how many foreign workers we need, make a process for those workers to easily apply, and let them come over to work! Criminalize those that hire illegal aliens, while allowing for a supply of legal foreign workers.

It’s so simple. Yet neither the Dems nor the Repubs can seem to figure it out.

We HAVE figured it out for ‘upscale’ workers like doctors. I trained literally hundreds of future anesthesiologists who were from overseas, most of whom remained in the USA legally after completing their training. There is a shortage of anesthesiologists now. It would be life threatening if not for the thousands of overseas doctors who have stayed. And it was all done through government established quotas, that had OUR country’s interests at heart.

Grumpily retyping response as first try somehow got lost in the electrons of space….

I don’t believe that the correct way to fund the government should be based on a % of your ‘income’. As I’ve written before, it allows (brilliant) tax avoiders (legal) like Warren Buffett to thrive. By not having his company, that makes gobs of money, be required to distribute the money, Buffett was able to not pay taxes on that money his entire life. ‘Regular’ workers like Geno and SOOPOO get (virtually) all of their income from work in cash that is taxed.



But right now, with ALL of these loopholes, deductions, off shore havens, etc… the top 1% STILL pay for nearly half of our governments upkeep. I’ll ask it to you. Right now the top 1% pays for 40.4% of the Fed gov. Under a Geno tax plan, how much should the top 1% pay? Give me your answer, Robinhood!

Powerball is at half a billion currently. If SOOPOO can guarantee I will be the sole winner, I will happily pay 75% tax rate on it.

I disagree with your assertion that levying a percentage of income as personal or business income tax is the incorrect method to, well, levy taxes. I also could care less about the 1% paying for half of the nation's upkeep. or that 1 SooPoo pays as much as 9 whoevers' I am not impressed by that statistic. It will never ever sway me.

To answer your question, Geno's tax plan would have the higher income earners, and mostly everyone else, paying at similar effective tax rate at least. If that means a flat tax with no deductions, so be it. If that means progressive income brackets with equal access to deductions (mortgage interest, child care tax credit, etc) then so be it. If that means eliminating certain tax breaks that those at the lower income scales would never on a practical basis be able to utilize because they only benefit high income earners, so be it. There's your answer. Should you need to ask the question again, rinse and repeat here as necessary.

If that makes me Robin Hood, so be it. If that means there's more money so the Navy can refit and overhaul ships more quickly, thereby reducing the operational burden on the operation vessels, I'd call that a win. If that means we can restore PBS funding, I'd call that a win. If that means we can restore certain cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, I'd call that a win. If that means there is more money to clean up Superfund sites, or improve our transportation infrastructure or install more solar panels, so be it. If that means we can run a budget surplus like Clinton did and neither Bush 1, Bush 2 nor Obama nor Joe or Donny 1 or 2, I'd call that a win. If that means we can more fully fund those budget line items that return a positive externality, so be it. Right now, tax cuts to the high income earners is a negative externality. You got that, Marie Antionette?

Calling me Robinhood? I call that a badge of honor.

You continue to bring up Warren Buffet. Good. Now do Elon, the Koch brothers, Bezos, Zuck, the Edelsons, the Waltons, Murdoch et al. Pick a Republican to make your example. I dare you.
