What platform did you run on, and what do you do in the first 90 days?I would run on abolishing the IRS. Of course, only Congress can lay and collect taxes, but I would push taxes in the debates and drum up support for a national sales tax. Food, clothing, medicine, and housing would be exempt, so as not to adversely affect the poor. If you want that Ferrari or yacht, you will have to pay the tax. No IRS, no payroll deductions, no filing, no record keeping as an individual or as a business, and no abuses, cheating, or illegal imprisonment of innocent Americans. I would commute the sentences of all failure to file cases. I would suspend by Executive Order the non-liability of vaccine manufacturers and lead the way for a repeal of that law. Most of America is unaware that a bar to liability even exists. I would bring that into the public eye. If you are going inject babies, you are going to be liable like any other drug manufacturer if there is a harm. IP: Logged |

Randall, this reads like a parody. A neocon/rino and the first thing out of your mouth is "taxes." Rome is burning down around us but, "Sir, do you have a moment to discuss yacht taxes?" The Republican party truly is a soulless, materialistic entity of dispossession. Myopic uncultured brutism. IP: Logged |

I don't understand why you say things like this, when trump himself is so negative, all the time, with so many people.

You say things like this and then you wonder why I am astonished when people blindly support trump and his people? I think the problem you mentioned in the other thread, is just that you don't like me, which is fine. That's more honest than claiming that you don't understand what *my* problem is, and you make cute but patronizing excuses for pire's supposed lack of understanding. IP: Logged |

There would be no social security taxes either. There's no such thing as a trust fund. Social security taxes are not earmarked. They go into the general fund. People would keep every penny of their wages. The country would operate on a surplus.IP: Logged |

teasel, I do not wonder why you are astonished. You are the masses, programmed to be astonished. No shock there. I do not dislike you personally. We have not met, so that's a characteristically silly statement to make. I dislike your hyper emotionalism and shallow, unperceptive thoughts.

Regarding my lack of understanding, I went to A very brilliant college of London, had a degree in politics, and gave up the masquerade that politics are in reality.Now everyone can explain politics to me but I compare their analysis with that of classics scholars that I know, Although sometimes it is not necessary as common sense is enough IP: Logged |

Pire,common sense. You hit the nail on the head.It's a staple lost in time. People have quit thinking for them selves. They let bias,opinion and leaders do their thinking for them 😣 ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

I think for myself. I always have. I also haven’t been emotional for a while. I’m grounded, my emotions are not a problem. When I am emotional, it’s with good reason. So excuse me if I don’t care what you think of me shura. Or anyone else. I came here to post this. I’m sure trump supporters will tell me it’s all perfectly fine, and that is why I stopped visiting before. Aside from all of the drama that was brought to me and others, in the past, in part by someone who is no longer here. The blind worship and delusion is mind-boggling, and it isn’t something that I personally deal with. A lot of Democrats I know don’t. http://www.washingtonpos t.com/amphtml/opinions/2019/02/20/theres-yet-another-trump-administration-scandal-brewing-its-doozy/?__twitter_impression=true

And the brain-washed masses are the trump supporters. I’m so tired of this “people don’t think for themselves” BS. I’ve run into arguments, and tried to run away from others, a lot in the past six weeks, because I was dealing with people who seem to be cult members (medical medium fans - they are also very much into conspiracy theories). I’ve been attacked by Democrats in the past, for voting third-party. I’ve been attacked by republicans, because I don’t take their **** . Same for the trump cultists. It’s dull, at other times infuriating when he’s ******* our country up even more, and his supporters swoon - or come up with weird wordy arguments, trolling the rest of us, as shura was in response to cat and others recently. Do you think that you are the sole arbiters of truth, and common sense? IP: Logged |

I wasn’t questioning you. Shura used the fact that you are French, as a reason for your supposedly not being able to understand something. IP: Logged |

I know, and I find hard to understand her sometimes, like no one else. My english is not the issue. She say what she is not, but rarely say what she is for, or with parcimony. Instead of running the risk to unveil her ideas, she rather fan the flames of general miscontent. I do not condemn anyone for their ideas. But i notice. I don't fancy (sorry) wasting my time arguing about side topic, wasting my energy and truthful desire to debate whith someone who keeps their deepest views veiled and undebated. If you (in general) want to discuss a controversial topic, or question wether it should be controversial in the first place, great ! We can do it both in French and in English. We'll disagree but it will be refreshing. At least until you bring up insults in a jwhop style, loud and proud. thank you teasel for the support IP: Logged |

The bias is near insurmountable, sadly. And it's a rare day when we hear an unapproved comment. That NPC meme was spot on. Shame Twitter banned it. IP: Logged |

pire, your English is quite good, as I've said. Nevertheless, in speaking with various Euros several x's a week, I find that language barriers do exist even among the more fluent. Idioms, multi layers, common references, subtle nuances in speech etc are understandably missed. It's no comment on intelligence. eg When I said "Bolsheviks" you took this literally. Regarding political positions, I think I've been clear. But ofc feel free to inquire, and I will likely respond.
