The right answer is that they are afraid to answer questions that the voter wants answered. Supposedly, that is the reasoning for having debates. Although, the Democrat debates were hidden and no one was required to answer the moderators' questions. They just went off on a tangent. Same with the GOP debates, except that a couple of the moderators forced them back on subject. Not so with the DNC debates. But, you know who you are going to vote for....then one that promises you the most. |

As far as watching other news stations, I do. I watch on the average four morning local news stations, and frequently CNN when something important is going on overseas. I enjoy hearing liberals rant about how Hillary is being targeted by the Republicans, and how this country is shifting to socialism to be more like Europe. The reason I sometimes enjoy listening to liberals rant about how hard life is for them, is because I have four successful children that I raised that are doing fine. They are financially stable, patriotic and Christian. Couldn't ask for much more than that. You see, I enjoy listen to liberals cry about how weak they are and how the rich need to provide for them. Because, I won't be around when this country turns totally to socialism. It won't be the U.S. of A. anymore, but that is exactly what liberal deserve. They are too weak to make it on their own. They feel that it is perfectly OK for them to take from the rich. I have news for you, when this country becomes socialist/communist, there will still be the rich. There just won't be a middle class. The poor will be kept by the gov and controlled. And the rich will continue to run the country from the top. And I have no problem with the rich being rich. I live better because of them. So do the poor and the rest of the middle class. Liberals just don't get it. But, they will. When they get what they have been asking for, they will get it. They will understand. They will understand why everyone wants to be like us, at least before we threw away our initiative, ethics and morals. |

When and where did you hear Sen. Sanders or Mrs. Clinton call for government takeover of private companies? Nothing wrong with having the uber rich pay a higher percentage in income and corporate taxes. No, that is NOT a "redistribution of wealth". Bitching about the welfare payments that the poor people get? Why not try living in one of their shacks in Wildwood or a trailer in Lady Lake for a month in July or August? |

Hey friend, you do know that Sanders IS a socialist right? And you did watch the Socialist, I mean DNC debate didn't you? Wow, some folks are pretty naive. How much do you feel is "fair" enough for the rich to pay? They already pay high taxes so that YOU don't. Why do you believe in discrimination? WHY??? Discrimination: treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit Making anyone pay higher percentage of their income than others is DISCRIMINATION. Sorry, but if you want the rich to pay half their income, then you must pay half your income. And as far as living in a trailer ins concerned, done that. And I did that while supporting a family with children. So, don't try that one on me. I worked three jobs at once to dig myself out of debt. I didn't have a socialist president that gave the OK to walk out on my obligations. And now I am here in the Villages. On top of that, I served my country, before and after I married. So, without further need of justifying my remarks, where do you get off telling me that I don't' know something? I have no idea whether or not you had the guts or patriotism to serve your country. I wouldn't know and won't ask. I don't suggest to you that you haven't lived poor like myself and then raised myself out of it, to later make six figure incomes. But yes, I do scorn those that want to take from someone without permission to give to another. I have no problem if you want to donate your income or time to the needy. That's your choice. But, I do know that if you look at statistics, you will find that most of your large donations to charity are from the conservative wealthy. It's easy for liberals to be charitable with someone else's money. After all, we have more than we need....at least according to you. |

It is common sense that , if you have no hope of getting anyone that watches Fox News to vote for you, you don't appear on a debate sponsored by that station. You do know what common sense is, don't you? If you don't think that is the case try answering this. Why did Kasich, Paul, Christie, and probably others spend so little time in Iowa? When you have no hope of winning the state, why waste time there? Why speak to people that will not listen or vote for you? the same logic applies. Fox News certainly did bring the candidates back on subject. Trump was so taken back by this that he didn't appear at the last debate. I guess answering questions that he is asked is something that he is not used too. If Trump didn't think that Fox News would treat him fairly, why is it a stretch to think that Clinton, and Sanders wouldn't feel the same way? I am going to vote for the person that promises me the most. Who the hell do you think that you are talking too? Other than social security, and Medicare, I have never received a penny from the federal or state governments in my entire life. try doing something that is totally out of character for you, and keep your cheap shots to yourself. |

Discrimination is against the law. A graduated income tax is not against the law. If it was, don't you think that someone, or some group would have sued the federal government by now, and forced the Supreme Court to rule on it? If everyone paying the same tax rate is your idea to stop discrimination, should everybody be paying the same property tax no matter what the value of their house is? All speeding tickets should be the same amount no matter how much over the speed limit you were traveling. Car insurance should be the same for everyone no matter what your driving history is. You get the idea. I assume that you are a Christian. What happened to the rule "that we should help those that can't help themselves". You give the impression any social or tax program that helps the needy is only put forward by the Democrats. Republicans would rather die than give the needy a penny. |
Quote:
I said "discrimination" is against the law. Eventually, someone might take the tax law to the supreme court, especially if they do away with tax breaks. Property tax IS the same for everyone, as far as percentage according to the value of the home. Where have you been all your life? The rest of your blather is just lame and not even relevant. Private insurance and fines for breaking laws has nothing to do with the subject. Maybe you don't know the difference?? Why is it that you LIBERALS throw Christianity at anyone that claims to be conservative and then act like you know what it is? Help the needy??? You are really joking, right? Are you really that naive to think that taxes are for the needy, like donations to a church? As far as your stupid comment about the Republicans not giving to the needy, do a bit of research before making such a stupid comment. You will find out that conservatives give many times more to charity than liberals. Liberals want to give other people's money to the needy, not theirs. Oh, and do a little research into American history so that you won't need to question a person's statement about fighting socialism in a war. Ignorance is very unbecoming, even in a liberal. |

Do you have any idea, what would happen to businesses, if someone try to argue that a graduate tax is discriminatory. You want a flat tax based upon income. The Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people. Businesses get to deducted all their expenses. People don't. We can't deduct what we pay for food, clothing, etc. To be fair, you would have to tax businesses on their sales, or their gross profit before expenses at the individual tax rate. That would probably increase taxes on every business. Everyone that doesn't have their head up their ass is a liberal. By all means keep your head up there. You don't want to be called a liberal. Property tax isn't the same for everyone. Businesses are given a break on property taxes to draw them into a city or state. Values of houses aren't revalued very year. Therefore, new construction is going to have a more accurate valuation than an older house. Rate may be the same, but the value isn't. You try to throw out there that things that aren't charged equally are discriminating. That is total nonsense. Taxes to fund programs for the needy aren't the same as donations to the church. No. they aren't. Programs that help the needy will go the needy. There is no guarantee that donations to the church will go to the needy. |

You know, the rest of your blather is so totally ridiculous and stupid, that I don't have the patience to instruct you on your totally wrong post. I will try to explain a bit for you, and hope that someone with more knowledge and patience than myself will further enlighten you. Property taxes are the same for all home owners in regards to percentage to value ratio. I am not referring to any tax breaks/incentives given to business. And this has nothing to do with personal income taxes that we were supposedly discussing....before you tried to divert from the original post. We are not a socialist country, even though you might feel that some of our gov run programs are socialist like. Social Security and Medicare were not socialist. If you did not put into SS, you did not receive from SS. Therefore, it is not considered socialism. If you want an example of a socialist type of service, you should have used the public school system. If you are naive enough to think that the gov gives to the needy better than the Church, then you are really way out in space. I won't even go into that. I will allow someone else to correct you. Like I said, I do not have patience for the blatantly ignorant that refuse to accept correction. |

As far as socialism is concerned, try reading this guy.U.S. Socialist Programs That Must Be Stopped At All Costs - 1723 Articles - A Barrel Full of Trivia As you can see after reading the article, there are people on the far right that have totally lost their minds. I am one hellva of a liberal, since I will not be voting for either Clinton, or Sanders. You only think that there are only two schools of political thought conservatives, and liberals. There is a third, moderates. Keep throwing the word "liberal" at me like it is a swear word. If you think that it bothers me, it doesn't. I know what I am. |
