2024 Presidential Race

Inflation was pretty much non-existent 2016-2020 too.

Corporate taxes are passed on to the consumer. If prices don't go up that means raw materials, cost of producing goods is down. That means the economy sucks. That means even though taxes are higher, tax revenue is down.

But that's OK. As long as you got your gubmint check.
None of this has anything to do with with why inflation went out of control over the last few years. Glad you're enjoying waxing poetical about corporate tax rates though. Have fun in the corner playing with yourself.

And I pay more in taxes than the average American earns in a given year, so no government checks coming to this guy.
 
I think political parties in general are the biggest threat to our country and the ideals it was founded upon. I think the words of George Washington in his farewell address were prophetic. Our country is being torn apart.
Well, there's really only one side that's openly, by it's actions showed that they are the true threat to democracy. They've went after political opponents using the justice department. They've used the same to squelch free speech. They taken over 99% of the media. They've pretty much completely erased our southern border. They've openly called for elimination of the filabuster. They've openly advocated to expand the supreme court. They've fought tooth and nail to fight any effort for a secure election process. They've advanced the idea of removing the electoral college. They've fought for the disarmament of american citizens.

All are precursors to a totalitarian, marxist, dictatorial government.

You're the one that brought up wanting to raise corporate tax rates. You got that kamalalalala democrat deflection down.
 
Where did i say that?
They don't massively help or hurt inflation in reality. They raise the cost of doing business to provide for the general welfare. One can argue whether that's a good or bad thing policy-wise, but thats a separate issue. We've enjoyed low inflation with much higher corporate tax rates in history when monetary policy was healthy. Inflation is far more dependent on monetary supply and borrowing rates than tax rates and price controls decisions. That more closely has an affect on corporate profits. Maybe that leads to companies trying to raise prices, but usually by pennies.
This is where you defend corporate tax increases claiming they don't cause inflation.

Wrong. I said they're not a major cause of inflation. That's not me advocating to raise them. I actually think the corporate tax rates are fine where they are.

Either you're not very good at reading comprehension or you're desperately trying to build a strawman here.
 
Legit question, what about Kamala scares you?
This is a good question. I don’t think my life will drastically change with either candidate. Yet I do feel more fear creep up thinking about Kamala being prez. It might be that I’ve been consuming info mostly from right wing sources lately. Legitimately though, it’s pretty obvious she has no clue what she’s doing and I can only imagine what that will lead to with foreign policy given that the world is currently on fire. Trump has already been prez and the first 3 years weren’t bad.

I think my biggest political fear right now is the clown car that is congress. It’s just a bunch of self serving performance actors on both sides.

I’ll ask again of the Liberals on this thread….regarding voting:

Why are you all against providing an ID to vote?

Why are you for allowing non-citizens to vote?
Good luck getting any liberal to reply to this. They just want those things so they can pad their partys vote total a little.

And you're wrong. Corporate taxes are always passed on to the consumer. No strawman.

The first Republican president was Abe Lincoln. He pretty much shredded the Constitution during his presidency. History has shown us neither party is to be trusted. We are at a point in time where the power has shifted left, but there have been times where the power was shifted right. Too much of either threatens the country, IMO. Political parties by their very nature are divisive. I refuse to be a sheep that puts either on a pedestal and follows blindly.
 
Either Selzer botched her methodology this year or there's no point in counting the votes on Tuesday night. If Harris is anywhere close in Iowa, let alone up three, she's getting 320+ EVs with a legitimate shot of flipping Ohio.

And Trump has convinced you he understands what he's doing? He doesn't even understand who pays tariffs.
 
I'm not a huge fan of Kamala. Wasn't a huge fan of Biden. Dems should be able to put forth better candidates. For example, I think Buttigieg and Booker far outstrip Kamala with their intelligence and policy expertise. But Trump is a total embarrassment. There's way too much risk with him. Just look at what those who have worked with him said. Nearly to a T they say he's unfit, a disaster, and shouldn't be anywhere near the presidency. That's incredibly telling. He's demonstrated he has no concrete policies. He's indicted much of his presidency will be about exacting revenge and imposing pain on minorities. And he is just not very bright or willing to consider new evidence.

I have been saying this for years, meaningful Legislation does not get passed without bipartisanship.
We are basically becoming a three party country. Left, Middle, Right.
Moderates are there at 50+% and could basically run this country, but fear, greed, lobbyists and the Extremes keep this country in divide.
Not sure about the shredding of the Constitution, Lincoln did what he did over 150 years ago and it is history. The country was split because of state's rights and the slavery issues.
I am still wondering how Trump has made America Great Again or will in the future. He more so has divided the Country and the Republican Party.
As far as Harris is concerned, what a joke and the Democrats if they win will think it is a mandate for their liberal policies.
Catch 22. Time for a 3rd party or a consensus to govern from the middle vs what we have now.
