The Republican health plan is a huge betrayal of Trump’s campaign promises

I will not delete it but I will reply. If you do not care for threads of this type just stay out of them. No one forces any one to enter any thread. There are threads here I avoid like crazy myself. If threads that a few members didn't like and were removed how many threads do you think would be left?? |

Nah. All sorts of stuff is allowed here, pics, videos, discussions, all ranging from porn through history, films, tv programmes, war, politics, philosphy, computing etc. Posters just need to remember the rules and be nice and respectful and if they can't be, then they are supposed bite their lip and swear at each other 'under their breath' and not post it.

Bringing in the process of his father's transition to this healthcare discussion puts a personal spin on it.

The Dems are absolutely NOT at an all time low (see the years 1866 to 1930.) They have been marginalized in many states, which is problematic due to the resultant gerrymandering. But If the Republicans succeed in throwing millions of grandparents out on the street or into the homes of their children, I am expecting there will be a massive backlash. Nothing is more unpopular with voters than taking away goodies they are used to, (like "Obamacare," and Medicare, much less Social Security.) Do you really think the mortgage interest deduction is going away anytime soon? When did you move to Houston? Lots of boat people settled down that way. Plus, you got the Cowboys and Mexicans galore. My ex-wife used to dread her annual August business trip down there. 100 degrees with 100% humidity may make you long for Illinois winter |

The Civil Rights movement had a major influence on me. Racism is not OK with me, But I do acknowledge that ALL races are guilty of prejudice and that I have racist attitudes and biases which leak out in certain moments. Also, the years working with folks in other countries to get the financials put together convinced me that people are pretty much the same no matter where they are from. I do believe that we have the duty to care for the less fortunate. You would too if you had been reading the gospels for over a decade. This was my attitude before disabilities forced me into early retirement and have left me far more dependent on state programs than I like. I keep hoping to recover some level of functionality and means of generating income so that I am NOT dependent on these programs. Contrary to your beliefs, Medicaid provides only minimal care. I have been trying for several years to get treatment for conditions covered by both Medicare and Medicaid. Getting help with these ailments would create the possibility of working again and not relying on government programs. But I digress. I am of the opinion that what you call "the nanny state" has served to disempower people in many cases. Destroying black communities and small businesses, flooding those communities with drugs, locking up the men for decades for minor offenses, thus destroying family life has created a real disaster. We are seeing the same scenario playing out in WHITE communities in the Midwest and rural South. I don't think the opiod epidemic is a government plot, but do know that drug companies are making a shit pile of money off these addicts. To my mind, letting a small group of people hog most of the wealth, and spending huge amounts of money on a warfare is wrecking the country. I firmly believe that access to a wider range of education (meaning more vocational training opportunities) and spreading the wealth more evenly would have many people starting up small businesses to support themselves and their families. (Quite a bit is going unreported now because poor folks living hand to mouth are being paid in cash and can't afford to pay self employment taxes. Of course, that means that these people will not be collecting Social Security down the road. The cash economy shops in flea markets and thrift stores.) I support some sort of universal health care, because my experience consolidating financial statements for international corporations has convinced me that we are placing ourselves at a competitive disadvantage with all the countries who have these programs. A few people are becoming very wealthy by gouging us for health care. Now they want to destroy public education, when our public schools made us the most powerful manufacturing nation in the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. I am sorry but Mr. Molyneux is an Irishman in love with the sound of his own voice. There is some truth in there, but it is buried in the BS. |

Trump partial tax return
I've heard people say that Trump had this partial return leaked, as it shows him paying some taxes, instead of the none for most years. Also, doesn't declaring that 'huuuuge' amount as 'business losses' show him as either a horrible business man (considering how he didn't pay many of his small sub-contractors) or a tax-dodger?

It's like the entire US has forgot, or never knew, that real estate developers have huge & unique tax breaks in IR Code! Where does all this ignorance come from? Yes, loopholes for all rich, but red's in class by themselves. Unlike others they don't even need offshore accounts. Trump doesn't need offshore accounts!
And these laws weren't written in secret. Everyone loves construction and development. If you ever read a newspaper you know it. Are Murcan Peeple so thick they deserve whatever they get? btw that return also reveals his bill would have been far less (~4MM) if not for Alternative Minimum Tax, which he has promised to eliminate! I too think he released it, but must have overlooked that. With him it's all about surface appearance.
