"Yet another Republican cashing in on the system they want to deny for the working class."

I went back to school to have a shot at cashing in on "the system.". The system being our two tier economy, where the top 20% of earners get 80% of the income.

Difference between me and a Republican is I don't want to deny that for the working class. I want more going to the bottom 80%. That's what allowed parents and grandparents of modest means to accrue generational wealth. Republicans want to pull up the ladder behind them, when it comes to generational wealth. So if you're not rich from the start, it's harder and harder to get there. But if you are rich, your first $13.99 million of inheritance is tax free.

"I was just following orders" is not an excuse.

The White House says the opposite.

And there isn't a Republican who will even comment on it.

Especially not a Republican Veretan.

teachers, machinists, farmers, etc...all donate money to politicians for their own interests (help you get richer).

Who can put more skin in that game, rich people or poor people?

The game is rigged in favor of the rich.
Republicans think it isn't rigged enough.

Hey Republicans,
Why hasn't Trump released:

The October jobs report.
The Quarterly GDP report.
The September inflation report.
The October Consumer Price Index report.

Is it because the Trump Economy stinks on ice?

Why do you always trivialize the violence of 2020

We don't trivialize the violence of 2020.
We accurately attribute most of it to the police.

Trump says these procedures don't exist because the concept of "unlawful" is something he has made moot.

Yes, that's a much better answer than mine.
According to Trump, it is not possible for Trump to issue an unlawful military order.
All the President's orders are lawful by definition.
HomerJ, do you agree with Trump?

"The military already has clear procedures for handling unlawful orders."

Not when they come from The President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

I never knew you supported billionaires with such fervor.
#61 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Nothing that I said supported billionaires with any fervor whatsoever.

People are poor for two reason mostly.
1) Bad decisions
2) illness (mental or physical)
#28 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Are Americans particularly bad decision makers, are Americans particularly prone to illness?
If not, why is there such rampant poverty in America, compared to say Canada?

"The U.S. has the highest poverty rate among developed nations, with a rate of 17.0 percent using the 50 percent poverty threshold, significantly higher than Canada's average rate of 12 percent."

What are the bad decisions and illnesses that cause our 50% higher poverty rate than Canada?
None of you ----------- Republicans can even attempt to support your propaganda with facts.

I simply refuse to take on debt anymore and haven't for over a decade.

Good for you.

Got any advice for people who weren't born with a trust fund and can't pull that off?

How would you have them purchase a home without taking on debt, or is your solid financial advice to be a renter forever and never build up any home equity?

"IMO people got used to borrowing cheap money to get whatever they wanted"

That's the billionaires too.
Billionaires sheer when the Fed cuts interest rates, and cry when rates go up.
For most of us, those rates have no bearing on our day to day finances, and we're stuck with whatever rates are when we buy a house; maybe if we're lucky we get to re-fi.

Poor people aren't the reason people are poor.
An economy that is designed to serve the rich at the expense of everyone else is why people are poor.
Don't you know any poor people? Surely you're surrounded by them.

"The amount of 'want' is hurting people."

The amount billionaires want is why paychecks are stagnant for the bottom 80% of households.

"Nobody on the left would have shrugged off a video like this if it were 6 Republicans during the Obama presidency."

Look, it's one of JeffJ's most prolific avoidance tactics!
He talks about things that never happened.
To deflect from things that did happen.

This video to the troops was and remains a stupid political stunt without a point.

Political bias has nothing to do with it.
#8 | Posted by BellRinger

Political bias has everything to do with it.
It's only conservatives, and then mostly only White English speaking conservatives, that deny global warming.
People like you aren't even called "skeptics" any more.
The evidence is so overwhelming that you have become climate change deniers.

If you don't know that, it's because you don't want to.

Biden ------ up the withdrawal because he didn't allow sufficient time to secure evacuation routes.
#74 | Posted by boaz

There's also the little fact that after Biden won in November,
Trump refused intelligence sharing with the incoming information,
so there was no planning for three months.

Our pouty little bitch of a President would rather see 13 American soldiers killed by a car bomb at the airport, than plan an evacuation. And so would you, for defending that fat traitorous ----.

Has Trump called for the judge's execution yet?

The one lesson all men can all learn from Elon Musk is don't attempt risky penis enhancement surgery.

But just because I would be agreeable in person doesn't mean I'm going to let you call me a bitch or whatever.

How you gonna stop me?
Violence, right?
Right.

"You would never say something like that to my face."

Am I supposed to be afraid of you, because of how violent you are?

Individuals decisions and individuals' debt problem to deal with.

It's not a problem with the economy.
It's merely a problem with the individuals... who make up the economy.
Genius!

Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people.
Debt doesn't kill the economy, people with debt kill the economy.
Genius!

Fracture?
Most Republicans can't find Venezuela on a map.
They don't care.
