This is classic causation without correlation. You are implying that a lower top tax rate has been the sole reason for a decreased GDP. The other truly impactful economic factors don’t play into that? You need to educate yourself on basic economics. The dates to 2005 include several recessions, credit crunches, stock market dumps, industry crises, financial market issues, etc. You are projecting a fact on top of another trend to create a false narrative.

You think the members here are dullards. The level of education of many here eclipses what is generally to be found in mainstream society, they shout down your arguments with facts repeatedly. You are showing us the level of critical analysis that you apply to what people are feeding you. Don’t swallow that hook - THINK, Research, analyze the data. Educate yourself.
Interaction with blinde takes attention away from reality. He is disingenuous. It is not by accident that he and others like him distract. Like the guy in boot camp who couldn’t stop fiddling with his shit before an inspection is the guy who continues to engage blinde.
 
Bottom line is at best we are not going to vote our way out of this. It is going to take Thomas Jefferson, John Adams , and the rest of the men who signed the Declaration determination. If you are not ready for that then your just a Twitter guy. Good luck. Stacy it's not healthy to eat everything you see 24/7
Wrong we are gonna need Andrew Jackson....but I guarantee, if you didn't like Trump, you wouldn't like Jackson. Had he lived in our day he would have made Tweets that made Trump look polite.

 
What the DNC or RNC are paid to think by their donors should have no effect on what policies the voters want.

My preferred policies are:
No money in politics
Maximum of 6 years in office for every politician and judge
No income tax on the first $250,000 of income
Wealth tax on billionaires and giant corporations
Increase base pay and minimum wage by $1000 per month
Teach Civics in school again
Pay students to take ROTC classes
Build federal colleges than only teach STEM and medical degrees
Everybody goes into the military when they turn 18 and gets to keep their M4 when they get out
No infringement of the right to bear arms
No taxes on guns, ammo or suppressors
Public shooting ranges run by the military in every town
Classify the entire US supply chain as a national security asset
Make more and better solar panels than China
Kick China and Russia out of every trade organization until they have free and fair elections
Every large corporation is required to have a union
No spying on American citizens
Replace tax breaks on Yachts and private planes with a luxury tax
Make it illegal for Generals to work for foreign countries or defense contractors
Add a Too Big to Fail tax
Make political corruption a capitol offense
Replace prisons with floggings
Require a license to have children
Tax unhealthy foods
Subsidize family gardens
Rebuild our mental health system
Make pharmaceutical countries sell drugs to Americans for the same price as they charge other countries
Offer a public option for health insurance
Enforce the immigration and refugee laws
Break up the RNC and DNC for being criminal organizations
Give every party equal access to the ballot
Raid every offshore tax haven that has participated in fraud or tax evasion
Require every American citizen to know English
Ban the use of any other language in government business
Charge companies for outsourcing American jobs to other countries
Force Brazil to sell us the Amazon and shoot anybody that comes near it
Deploy snipers to shoot anybody that poaches endangered animals

Your slip is showing.
 
Status: This exact quotation has not been found in any of the writings of Thomas Jefferson
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'
1984

These graphs are misleading at best.
Do the last one by city and while you're at it list who has been the mayors for the last 30 years.
Policies instituted take a bit of time to have an effect.
Wars and plandemics may have an effect as well.

Demographics.
Remember, Tennessee has Memphis. Demographics again. Then look at the "blue" in those areas.
This is how graphs work. They tell the story you want to tell. Unless you actually need real data to implement a solution.
But, unfortunately as they are want to do, true believers like Mr Mensa here, have absolutely no idea how to apply scientific method.
 
My very first post in on this site, after a very long time and after losing my username and password from long ago..

I am one of those long time lurkers, who in the past few years, usually sees posts as a result of internet searches. I was once a member but was unable to do a password reset due to my having registered with a U.S. government .gov email account. So here I am now, a new member again.
This thread here, I never read before. On reading the last 3 pages, I have the impression that one individual posting here could likely be the same individual that posts on a facebook webpage that is restricted to those military individuals who have a past or present occupation in INTEL / ELINT /SINGINT specialties. I am amazed at how similiar his posts are to those of that other facebook person. I suspect that he is not that other individual, but one that follows the same path of the one that I am more familiar with.

The individual in this thread posted a quote that seems to imply one thing, but without the rest of the letter the quote is from, I believe lacks context. Here is the paragraph from the letter that the quote was from.

Forgive me for my jumping right into what may be a political firestorm in my first, new post, of my new persona in this website. Or don't!

The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water. Yet it is a question of such consequences as not only to merit decision, but place also, among the fundamental principles of every government. The course of reflection in which we are immersed here on the elementary principles of society has presented this question to my mind; & that no such obligation can be so transmitted I think very capable of proof. I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self-evident, ‘that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living’: that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it. The portion occupied by any individual ceases to be his when himself ceases to be, & reverts to the society. If the society has formed no rules for the appropriation of it’s lands in severalty, it will be taken by the first occupants. These will generally be the wife & children of the decedent. If they have formed rules of appropriation, those rules may give it to the wife and children, or to some one of them, or to the legatee of the deceased. So they may give it to his creditor. But the child, the legatee, or creditor takes it, not by any natural right, but by a law of the society of which they are members, & to which they are subject. Then no man can, by natural right, oblige the lands he occupied, or the persons who succeed him in that occupation, to the paiment of debts contracted by him. For if he could, he might, during his own life, eat up the usufruct of the lands for several generations to come, & then the lands would belong to the dead, & not to the living, which would be the reverse of our principle.

We already know he is a Glowtugger.
Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Take the election map from Tuesday and view by red and blue counties. Then overlay crime stats for those areas. Want to be a racist? Drop the population stats on top of that.
 


In their defense, it is full moon.
 
So many of Y'all quote history without actually knowing history. Jackson was a hard core Democrat and fought against the Electoral College and Central Bank. He ran on term limits and the will of the people. The entire US would be like California if half of what he fought for was enacted. Currently the will of the people is to be controlled and Socialism is expanding. We had some Freedom Fighters on the ballot in Michigan, but their views were too extreme. Now my State will slide Left like Colorado. Hard times will create Strong Men, and Currently it's pedal to the Metal on Hard Times. Buy cheap and stack it deep. Your children and Grandchildren will thank you.... If and only if you raise them right.
