Simple solution, buy a hybrid vehicle next time. Oil reserves will run out in 50 years, we have to change sometime!

Corporations made record profits in 2020, during the p******c! Nearly 1/3 of the fortune 500 companies in the USA paid zero taxes last year, while they were raking in historic profits. All those rich people with those huge businesses use all of our infrastructure to make those huge profits. They drive on our roads, use our ports and airports to move merchandise and materials. Why should us private citizens have to pay for the infrastructure they use to make their billions?

Bottom line if we want to get the country back on track, we need to have enough funds coming into the government to cover the costs of government. Part of it is taxation, part of it is spending. If we cut the annual military budget by 10% we could do a hell of a lot with that $70 billion annual savings in things like infrastructure development and education reform and do some things that will make a real difference in the future.

I have no issue with paying more tax if that will help us get our house in order and save the future for our children. But it has to come from both increased taxation and reduced spending. And don't go off on a tirade against any party, the GOP has been as bad or worse than the Dems in raising the deficit over the past several decades.

Can you answer a question for me Arch?

Why did the GOP and Trump pass a tax bill that gave significant tax advantages to the wealthy and corporations and much smaller tax savings to individuals in the middle class? And why did they make those corporate reductions permanent, but the deductions for us little people are all scheduled to run out in 2025? Yep so in 2025 we all get stomped, all our old personal deductions are still gone, but the tax changes that were instigated to allow that to happen and many people to still get a smaller tax bill are wiped out. So just why did they do that Arch?

Well said, Lindajoy!! What you describe is exactly the problem. For years now the left has denigrated and demeaned everything about the right. We cling to our "guns and bibles". We cling to the "past". We "don't understand today's world". We "worship" violence and non inclusive behavior. If a celebrity leans conservative they are blacklisted. If a professor or teacher leans conservative they are systematically removed from the "system". Media talking heads aren't allowed to be conservative, unless they work for Fox. So who's noninclusive again?Conservatives have been marginalized in this country for years, in ways big and small. I, personally, am done tolerating it. And done tolerating conservative "representatives" who shrink back - always - and don't represent their constituents. And done tolerating colleges that present one facet of society as good and virtuous and another facet as ignorant and backward to our youth. Conservatives being ever patient and tolerant have brought us to this impasse. I'm done being patient and tolerant. And I know I'm not alone.

Nope... No rock... And I agree.... The i**********n was the result of many things.. Trump was but a single factor...

I doubt you could find a pack of quotes, or even a handful, that support your theory... So instead you resort to add hominem and deflection.... (I realize there was no actual ad hominem, but neither was there can straw man in my earlier challenge)...

America will never heal while people continue to play victim and seek to regulate blame to a single individual rather than accepting personal responsibility and holding themselves to their own stated standards...

Grow up...

That meme lies, that was NOT part of his rally speech. It IS, in fact, in the video he made after he was harangued for hours to try to talk the i**********nists, his supporters, into stopping the violence and dispersing. Why did it take so long for him to undo the damage he, Don Jr. and Giuliani created?

If you want to hear his speech to see that he DID NOT end it with, "Go home with love and in peace":

Sorry, I could not find an official transcript for that rally speech even though the rally was supposed to have been held at or at least near the WH...

Don't trust that site to do justice in t***scribing the speech? Read it while listening to the actual speech and see for yourself the accuracy of the transcription.

OMG such crap.

Watch the video footage, they where mostly white men and a lesser number of white women and I bet not even 1% other. And there were thousands of them! A****a was not the culprit here sweetie.

Get off the conspiracy theory band wagon already. You can watch the direct footage of Trump giving his speech, telling the crowd to go walk down Pennsylvania avenue to the capitol and stop congress from stealing the e******n, and then you can watch them directly, immediately do exactly as he asked. Don't give me any crap about how this was A****a. That is just plain straight GARBAGE!
