One side is proposing an extra $50 trillion in climate change spending between now and 2050 with ZERO evidence it will do anything for global temps. So as ridiculous as the GOP has been on spending there is no comparison as to which side to vote for controlling it. throwing $ at problems in this country rarely fixes anything as history has shown us. how in your opinion do we get rid of that pesky 13% of taxes are 'debt service' issue? are you currently paying a 13% interest rate for anything you own or have purchased? an easy topic republicans should be talking about ffs... there are no more fiscal conservatives. 13% of what everyone here pays in taxes is for interest. Think about that... Edited May 17, 2023 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the democraps the same super majority and I think we would see the size of the fed govt triple between UHC and CC spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List the tax breaks that these "wealthy" people got. Next, show me any year where tax cuts that you are complaining about effected the US Government Revenue in a negative way. Since the 60's US Government revenue has averaged over 6% increases no matter what. Spending has the greatest effect, not tax cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tax bracket are you in vs the rate you effectively pay. Are you sure you are paying what you should? Seems that you worry about other brackets without making sure you are first paying your way. Why do you complain when trying to take advantage of the tax incentives just like the "wealthy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
