@shavixmir saidAnd if you want the God's honest truth, even though I personally support Israel, I'd love to see the US spend more on educating the know-nothings in this country and less on bombs falling on Gaza.
Who pays for the armed forces?
Tax payers.
Moron.

Well, till Trump sucked out 15 billion from OUR military budget to build his stupid wall.
@AverageJoe1 saidWhy are Republicans so damned selfish?
Marauder will not give up lying to his constituents that there will be not cos to taxpayers. That, a taxpayer who never went to college, or a guy who just finished paying off his $40k loan, is going to fund the reduction of the loan balances of college graduates with 6-figure salaries.
I find it a bit reprehensible, his posts will have you telling your friends an untr ...[text shortened]... you will work for some other entity. Technically, you can never consider yourself a success.
Dam.
If I just got done paying off a $40,000 loan for college, I'd love to see the government pay off the school loan of my neighbor who might not be able to afford to pay the outrageous fees attached to his loan that he's struggling with. I want to see homeless people taken off the streets and given shelter and food and eventually housing to start them off right than see them starving and dying of the heat on the street.
YES, you ARE your brother's keeper, whether you want or care to take that on.
Oh, and not everyone leaves college with a 6-figure-salary job. Maybe if your daddy gets you a job, but most people don't just fall into those opportunities. Republicans, especially, love to assume everyone has it as easy as they do, even though they also love to claim they're making "sacrifices".

@Kewpie saidDadgum it, we lose another lib on a thread, who takes off on a segue, a tangent, something that is eating them inside which is set off by a word in a post. I don't have ANY idea what word I said that has Kewpie talking about tax or tax cuts.
@AverageJoe1
Tax cuts only benefit people who are rich enough to be liable for tax. So by your reasoning the poor miss out there too. Why no tantrums about tax cuts?
Amazing. Marauder will promote her to corporal!!
Rats. Another discussion that starts off great, and then.....🧨

@Suzianne saidThree places that Private Sue says that (I?) said that "taxes went up."
No one's taxes went up to specifically pay for these loans.
So, again, your given is entirely false.
[b]"Yes, but you want other citizens who are working, who never went to college, to pay off those loans.?? Payment of the loans, by uneducated citizens who are less than rich? THEY are paying off the loans, Kewpie. But they get NO benefit...the college grads get a be ...[text shortened]... tion. We have to do SOMEthing to reduce the sheer amount of ignorance that is killing this country.
She further says.....
"Their taxes arent going up'
"They are not paying more"
No one said that. Hey, here is something one of Marauders soldiers saying....she is saying it would be honorable to pay on the loans of college grads with 6-figure salaries. Honorable. Unbelievable. She does NOT say, nor does Corporal Kewpie say, that an honorable use of such money would be to help a pitiful poor family.
Then she caps it off that all taxpayers should pay for everyone's education.
Well , let me enlist in the Marauder Brigade: I propose we pay off all the credit card balances of everyone in the country. That would be more honorable than paying tuition loans.

@sonhouse saidMilitary and Wall. All stupid. Going to the park and spreading flowers singing We Are The World is a great idea instead.

How is it going with hou, Shouse. You never struck me as being a bit limp-handed.
@sonhouse saidBut of course.
@Suzianne
Less than average Joe says he is one of the rich ones so it stands to reason he doesn't want to include them in the discussion.
I guess the filthy rich have to stand up for each other.
The problem arises when they get their dirty little fingers into every branch of government, including the Supreme Court.
@AverageJoe1 saidNo, it would not.

@Suzianne saidYou said I say I am rich? OK, I will play. If I am rich, you fellas need to leave me alone so that I can make a lot of money which means I pay a lot more taxes than you do, and the taxes that I pay will be able to pay for the college, free college, that you want your kids to go to. Do you see how the circle works. How the world turns.
You, on the other hand, might become a better person if you were "limp-handed".
So let me see how you can handle the statement I just made. Do you want rich people to pay big taxes, or do you want rich people just to become poor. We do not know what you want. We really do not know what you people want. Other peoples’ stuff, of course. But what do you really want.
I can understand if you do not answer this question, because you are all very confused in this arena.
@AverageJoe1 saidIf you are rich, you pay LESS taxes than I do.

I want rich people to actually pay their fair share, which would actually be MORE than I pay.
That's why you like Trump. You think he will remove that 'yoke' from your shoulders.
@Suzianne saidTrue that rich people do things to lessen their tax burden. Some have to actually contribute much much money to charitable and philanthropic endeavors,.......really, they HAVE to, to get the best bang for their tax buck. Look it up. So, good comes, everyone benefits, when the rich do that. They do have enough to buy a yacht, and many people like you want to punish their success. We don't know why. One of you does not want them to build sports arenas which fill to the max at every weekend. Do you want to end the family at the ball game? you do , you know.
If you are rich, you pay LESS taxes than I do.

You will have to tell me what you mean by fair share, that is a bernie phrase, which no one ever defines. I know many people who pay the max, is it 39%, and all the other taxes which get them over 50%.
Give 'em hell, Sue. Or go make your own pie.
When you are running in a track race, do you look to side to side to see where your competitors are......Will They Catch Me!!?!? Or, do you just, you know , run your race. I suggest you run your race.
@AverageJoe1
Oh, since you got out on a 1Y now MILITARY is stupid? You are an affront to all those who actually served. Like me, 4 YEARS. Honorable discharge. Plus a solid year of electronics training to go with the 2 years I did at Palomar College in San Marcos California. And countless training sessions at Varian and RCA and Goddard.
So you had asthma, I am close to legally blind but that didn't stop them allowing me to enlist, glasses work for that.
@sonhouse saidYou expect a debate, my discussing your situation and you discussing mine? Whew?
