Re: Trump Promises Taxes: Profound Applause from his Followers

Sources: Trump will ask Congress, not Mexico, to pay for border wall - CNNPolitics.com


Looks like Trump expects Eaglesmack to pay for his wall.

Didn't he say he would make Mexico pay? Good gawd, the average Americans tax bill is gonna be horrendous when Trump is done.

Not right away though. You see, I don't think Trump is a tax-and-spender, but rather a borrow-and-spender for the most part. Sure he'll raise some taxes like tariffs and maybe a moderate wealth tax, but he said he wants to lower other taxes too like income tax for lower income earners. And yes he wants to cut spending in some areas. But big picture, he's a borrow-and-spender more than he is a tax-and-spender.

My parent's generation didn't invent it but they certainly perfected it.

It's the way to win votes though. A true socialist would want the government to raise taxes, fees, and fines first before it increases spending. A true capitalist would want the government to reduce expenditure first before it reduces taxes, fees, fines, and other sources of revenue.

But a bummer who just wants freebies from the government would want the government to lower taxes and increase spending. he wants everything for nothing. And that's what wins votes nowadays, both on the political faux left and the political faux right of the spectrum.

Meryl Streep Criticizes Trump At Golden Globe Awards

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/08/meryl-streep-golden-globes-speech-donald-trump


It's a shame that there can be no event without it being politicized! Once again, a celebrity criticizing Donald Trump for doing what she herself is doing.
Meryl Streep accuses Trump of influencing the public with his speeches while she is doing the same thing, influencing the public with HER speech.
If Streep had been posting on a forum she would have been 'off topic'. The event was about awards, NOT politics.
Read for yourself.

Re: Meryl Streep Criticizes Trump At Golden Globe Awards

well, the overly made up, menopausal old hag might be having one of those hot flashes or something
:)
...or not
possibly she was acting
she isn't the type that would fit into the current trend of comic book blockbusters
and might need the work
