huuuuh? I've never heard a right winger complain about that????? , elimination of the fairness doctine????..wonder why????

.........T J was right...a bone stupid voting populous equals a country that will never see a real democracy. Mars help us!

just saying and hanging reality out there

I'll tell you what is unpatriotic...a presidential candidate who tells the citzens he's against free trade, but turns around and picks a tea bag religious nut who is entirely for it....but hey, the media won't bring up a dichotomy like that. The fascist press is about to lead us into nuclear holocaust, and I'm not being bombastic....fear is real now! Dangerous Donny called for a hit on Hillary and everyone forgets it.....WTF!

Years ago, 1970's, a Canadian named Gordon Sinclair wrote and published a song called "The Americans"; it was about his frustration and shame at all the 'America-bashing' by other countries, including Canada, that was happening at that time.

I used to enjoy listening to that song when it would come up on the playlist, feeling proud to be an American, but now, I'm so ashamed of what America has become, I just skip over that song.

Yeah, I wish I could move to Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

There will be another accident at a nuclear power plant. It is a matter of where and when. They completly contaminated a huge government radwaste facility in New Mexico last year. Very little publicity. This will cost at least $2 billion. This is really stupid. They used organic kitty litter instead of mineral in a 55 gallon drum of moist plutonium waste. The kitty litter absorbs liquid. The organic kitty litter fermented. The barrel blew up, spreading the plutonium through the ventilation system. The said that it could not happen at Fukushima. We melted TMI unit 1. We have had 5 other close calls that could have destroyed reactors. We have no place to store or process radwaste. This is after 50 years of commercial operation. Dr J ignored deaths from uranium mining. We are shutting down nuclear and coal plants and you still have your AC. What are you complaining about?

When you compare the number of actual deaths due to petroleum and coal extraction, refining, transportation, and use, versus those caused by nuclear energy (save Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where the purpose was different), the numbers vastly favor nuclear energy. There is also the viewpoint that Japan's involvement in World War II was directly related to their desire for oil, much like the USA's involvement in the Middle East since President Pappy Bush. How many lives did all that cost?

2950-10k ... I'm not sure what your response has to do with my comments. I believe I said that I believe in taxes, and pay plenty of taxes. I did not comment on whether or not my taxes were too high. My sole comment on taxation was that I grumbled about people voting to increase taxes who pay no taxes. I also commented that there is money wasted by the government from time to time and I don't think that can really be disputed.

That said ...

There are states which do not have a state income tax and they have found that this is an effective tool for luring business. Similarly, there are COUNTRIES that have found that lowering tax rates is an effective tool for luring business. If you want more of something you create an attractive environment. America needs more jobs. If you really want to lift people out of poverty give them a job. Or, if all you really care about is their vote, you put a chicken in every pot and then forget them.

We need a President who understands how business operates, and is focused on bringing jobs back to America. Hillary is at best paying lip service to this issue. Trump is 100% onboard to doing what it takes to bring back jobs from overseas.

I am not arguing for lower taxes. Lowering taxes is only one tool out of many that can be employed to bring jobs back to America. (Eg. China builds factories on behalf of their companies) Ultimately the bills need paid and there must be taxes. But ... if you look at the complete picture, we need to be creatively thinking about what we can do to bring back money from overseas, and bring back jobs from overseas. As Thom has mentioned, tariffs is another arrow in the quiver. Those are definitely part of the plan, but we need both a carrot and a stick to get the job done.

I hear your concern that this election is about the rich trying to cut taxes, or complain about the level of taxes. All I can say is, "I haven't said that" and "I don't remember Trump saying that." And, in fact, Trump made a comment early on which was that he thought taxes could use boosting, and he has backpedaled on that more recently. But, I always believe it is more important to see what people said before they were in the public eye rather than after they are running for office. Hillary is now anti-investment banker, and anti-TPP -- but, what do you really think she is? Trump is now anti-Obamacare and anti-tax increase -- but, what do you think he really is? My long term opinion on Trump is that he believes in health care for all, and that bills must be paid (and that we may need to spend outselves out of this hole). Dig deep and I think you'll agree. I think you'll also find he has a long healthy relationship with unions. Study his companies and you'll find women and all ethic groups in positions of power. Dig deep and I think you'll be surprised by all you learn.

My two cents...

"Re-reading because it popped up as a FB memory.

3-years later, I agree with Palindromedary.

"""bobbler: on the other hand...perhaps, one's worst enemy is the one hidden behind what you thought was a friend...an ally. Just follow the money-political trail and see how they act...not what they say."""

Well said. I find myself voting green the selection, against a zombie army of peer pressure to vote for Hillary. Vote for Hillary because will get trump. But Hillary's 5000 paid Internet trolls have demonized Trump to equal Hitler. With so much mud slinging on both sides I don't feel like I know anything about trump (if the argument is valid to vote for Hillary because will get trump). Frankly I don't see how he could be worse than the other Republicans. Hillary as a Democrat has fallen below the threshold where I can't hold my nose anymore. We may lose an election, but we are fighting and then I ideological war against conservatives ( that spans multiple election cycles) . And an avalanche of Democrats started migrating green, it would either change the Democratic Party from within, or the green party would start to become a viable party.

Reproaches for Roaches
