Trump Pitches Business Tax Cut to Middle Class
Children's book says girls grow breasts to make them attractive to men
Of course it will go to higher income households.
If you really want a tax cut to impact the economy, make it a tax cut that benefits everyone equally.
If you want an income tax of $140 million, make it $1000 per taxpayer: that will have the maximum benefit to the economy. Poor people will go out and spend it - benefiting the economy directly. Middle class people will see it as a wind fall, and will also spend it. Rich people will not even notice, but there are so few of them that it won't matter.

Why do these people want big government to tell me where I can take a pee.
Theresa May – Britain doesn't want a PM who can't condemn Donald Trump
Come on, May. Join the bandwagon.
Here is something all Britons can agree on: make Donald Trump responsible for all of our racism.
Do these guys think I can't figure it out by myself?
What happened to the Republican party that they think we need big government telling us what to do.

To the white male supremacists: you're nothing more than venomous crybabies
The interesting thing its that our author does not acknowledge the fact that these white are feeling seriously disadvantaged in there own home. Yes, the fact that they are crybabies is a given, yes, the fact that they are decrying 'their privilege is a given - bet that doesn't mean that you can just dismiss them...
Sorry, of course you can, but that will simply make them a more determined foe...which is what Trump realises and the Democrats do not

Donnie is right in one regard: we will need to take down the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson: either that or admit that our founding father's have feet of clay.

James Damore has been heaped with calumny because apparently people didn't read what he wrote. Instead, they wish to see it as an attach on diversity. That is all very good - I suppose people need to have their shibboleth attached now and then. It is just hard for Mr Damare, who thought he was merely entering a debate. He didn't know he was taken on a zeitgeist that didn't deal in fact: it dealt with "don't you touch this, it is our faith and we will not have anyone messing with it."

White Supremacists Show Up To A City That Didn’t Want Them

What! A former cabinet minister is allow to speak of something that disagree with the zietgeist. How dare he! Does't he know you can only spout things that Newspeak has said may be spoken about
It might been better to keep Mr Damore in place and show how his ideas are just wrong, but that would be allowing free debate. Far better to get him out, since that allows those with his views to hide behind a 'see, we don't have any tolerance for that kind of thought." Meanwhile allowing them to think their thoughts that say "we will always be the boss here."

Irony
on Welfare – Old Lange’s Rant of the Day
Friend Paul Engel sends:
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to distribute the greatest number of
free Meals and Food Stamps ever – to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service (also USDA) , asks us
“Please Do Not Feed the Animals.” Their stated reason for this policy is: “The
animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of
themselves.”
Thus ends today's lesson in irony.
Dear Paul
32% of the people on food
stamps are in work, but don’t make enough to feed their kids
20% are disabled
15% are elderly The average beneficiary gets $125 a
month.
I am happy with requiring
the others to work in exchange for receiving their food stamps, because I agree
that free handouts destroy initiative and create dependency: it’s why I want to
repeal the oil-depletion allowance, free crop insurance, carried interest, the
step-up-in-basis rule and other government welfare handouts to agribusiness,
banks, coal, oil & gas, and the rich.
In 2016, the Obama administration
tightened up federal rules that require the able-bodied to work to get stamps.
The states and counties that have implemented these work-for-stamps rules have
seen a dramatic reduction in the able-bodied on their food stamps roles – falls
of 25 & 50%. The problem is: the extra cost and staff needed to
manage a work-for-stamps system is local, while all of the benefit money comes from
the Feds. This negative incentive meant few
states set up work-for-stamps systems before they had to. (There has been
nothing stopping them from doing this for the past decade or two.)
Indeed, when unemployment was high, most states (especially the red
states who are the larger recipients of SNAP funds) applied for and received a
waiver of the federal work-requirement rules – it saved them money and cost
them nothing.
Blogger Jaymz writes on
Medicaid:
I
don't believe a quarter of the working age population are so physically or
mentally disabled to be unfit to contribute to the economy. Probably well
under ten percent, maybe five, I don't know. For the others, their
problems are unique and complex, and Medicaid is not the ideal solution.
You might call them "misfits",
Of the 70+ Million who are
on Medicaid, only 24 Million are non-disabled adults (aged 19-64), and 59% of
those are employed. That leaves us with only 9.84 million “misfits”, or 3% of
the total population. I can readily believe that 3% of Americans
are misfit deadbeats.
The rest are simply not paid enough to
afford even the most basic health insurance. (If you make $15k a
year, it is impossible to pay even 3k – $250 a month– for health insurance.)
Raising the minimum wage to a living wage could take millions off both
Medicaid and food stamps.

Who Ultimately Pays for Corporate Taxes? The Answer May Color the Republican Overhaul
Just make the tax cuts be a flat sum on the dollar.
That way the people who will have the biggest effect on the economy will get the tax cut.
I could see this getting out of hand.
It was time cut your losses and realize that some people don't have the right to their opinion if their views are in the minority. Especially if their views might argue against the zeit geist. We all know that women and men seek the same things - that's a given

White Christians and the appeal of Trump
& the Republicans Old Lange’s rant
of the day
Christians are gradually losing their superior
position in American society, a position that automatically gave them better
jobs, better housing, better loans, better schools, better police protection;
in short, better everything. It is gradual; whites still enjoy a
huge advantage in preferences and privileges, but fewer than before. Not
being stupid, affluent White Christians can see the writing on the wall. (Poor
whites never expected privilege and are astonished to and pleased find a
president – even a party – speaking to them as “white” rather than “the
poor.”) Both poor and affluent do shre the view that White Christians are
superior to all other ethnic groups.
White
Christians feel abandoned by the Democrats because, at base, the party does not
think White Christians should have preference and privilege, nor that
they are superior to all other ethnic groups. In the past the
rhetoric about taking care of the poor and the minorities came with the unsaid
understanding that White Christians came first, of course, but poor and
minorities were the next most important thing. The new Democratic party
openly courted the votes of the minority and the poor first and just assumed
that the white working class would stay with them. (“What are they gonna do,
vote Republican?”) No wonder working White Christians felt
abandoned.
There is much
speculation about why Republican politicians so often attract White Christians
by focusing on peripheral cultural issues such as gay marriage, religious
freedom, legalized marijuana and the like – when the economy, healthcare and
foreign policy have so much more impact on their day-to-day lives.
The answer is three-fold: 1) these cultural issues are based on deeply held
beliefs that White Christians think are very important, 2) the Democrats have
taken positions on these issues that many (if not most) White Christians do not
share and 3) White Christians feel that they have little control over economy,
healthcare and foreign policy. No wonder White Christians
feel abandoned.
The first of
the three is probably the most important. White Christians feel as deeply
about these cultural issues as minorities do about profiling, and for the same
reason: they see them as existential. Defending them is defending
White Christian survival. So, when Democrats take an opposing view, it is
no wonder White Christians feel abandoned.
Other key,
although peripheral, issues for White Christians are related to a limited-pie
view of the world: welfare dependency, foreign aid, public schools. If
resources are limited, White Christians want them to come to White Christians
not to some other group. Again, the Democrats have taken a position
that White Christians are doing just fine, it is others that need more help and
hence more government resources. No wonder White Christians feel
abandoned.
If the
Democrats do not realize this, and act on this realization, they will continue
to lose the White Christian vote. It is an old political saw that “you
can’t win the presidency without the Black and Hispanic vote.” Turned out
not to be the case. Democrats need to remember that, in most
states, you can’t win dog-catcher without a goodly share of the White Christian
vote.
----
Intriguingly,
one of the most inexplicable but deeply-felt cultural arguments is disagreement
on the proper size and scope of government. This is not a White
Christians thing at all; whether a White Christian favours big or little
government may depend upon simply on whether someone in the family has a
government job. There is universal disagreement on this issue and it goes
across all races and classes. Politically, however, it is only a
perceived difference, rather than a real one. Neither Party is
really for bigger or smaller government. The parties just want to shrink
or grow different parts of government.
Republicans
favour big government in Washington telling people whether they can get an
abortion, what and where they can smoke, how they can die, who can sell
insurance in their state and where they can take a pee.
Democrats want big government in Washington to stay out of managing a woman’s
fertility, out of surveilling citizens, out of the right to die, out of where
people can pee and out of building walls. (Both parties are happy with
big government telling people where they can smoke, but Republicans and
Democrats often disagree on whether big government should have any say in what
we can smoke.) Republicans want to reduce government by cutting
welfare for individuals, Democrats want to reduce government by cutting welfare
for corporations. Republicans want bigger government though
increased spending on defence, Democrats want smaller government through
decreased spending on defence.
PS: BOTH
parties ALWAYS increase the number of federal workers when they get in power.
I think she has something here. If only 7% can go into public jobs, and only 43% of those from public school can go into public jobs, then that means we could have 50% of our chief executives, barristers, journalists, judges, medical professionals and MPs be filled by people from other walks of life.
