I am going to subscribe to the 95 SN method in which I just choose to ignore the message because it’s from someone I don’t like. He can’t say anything meaningful. Maybe you kissed his latest idiocy. This guy is seriously mentally retarded , he can’t speak on his own without being a complete baffoon

How can you say that......you have no idea what the outcome would be if a right leaning person took over and began to implement policies in these same democratic strongholds. There is nothing to support your blind conclusion that they would have the same issues , because it’s never happened. The dems pray on stupid / uneducated people and pretend tho be their saviors.

Keep. dreaming from your basement, pretending nothing is happening, and make all the excuses you want. . It’s lot more than 4 or 5 blocks. It’s complete downtown areas. You really need to educate yourself on what is happening. Saying LA doesn’t have bullets whizzing by peoples heads is also a flat out lie. LAPD: Homicides Up 250% In First Week Of June .

The content and contrast between these two stories should somewhat explain the brain rot needed to be a democrat. Also very obvious which news agency is actually fair and balanced and which one is trying to spin the story. Gotta love how karma knocked on the mayor’s door.

Name one time that trickle down economics has worked. Both Bushs' tried it, Reagan, Trump. Every single time it failed the country. Our economy stalled and dropped. Every time a democrat came into office they reduced the deficit and brought our economy back.
http://www.faireconomy.org/trickle_d...job%20creation.
https://www.thebalance.com/trickle-d...t-work-3305572
Trickle-down economics generally does not work because:
Cutting taxes for the wealthy often do not translate to increased rates of employment, consumer spending, and government revenues in the long-term.
Instead, cutting taxes for middle-and lower-income earners will drive the economy through the trickle-up phenomenon.
The added income for the wealthy, resulting from tax cuts, will simply increase the growing income inequality in the United States.
President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is of current concern because this trickle-down policy is seen to exacerbate the income inequality already kicked into overdrive by Reaganomics.

The closest recent analogy that I can come up with of liberation of a poor and undereducated people being exploited by a solitary political party is Iraq. We went in with high hopes that once we showed Iraqis the benefits of democracy that the people would adopt it enthusiastically and Iraq would be welcomed into the world of nations.
Are there any other examples of a new power coming in and liberating "stupid / uneducated people" without those people ending up still exploited, but for the liberators' chosen ends?

I'd just like to add, the reason that cutting taxes for the rich doesn't create economic stimulus is because when you already have "excess" income adding more results in a much smaller % of consumption, you typically bank or buy stocks. The lower you are in income the more likely you will spend any increase in available income.
That's why I'm a big fan of raising the threshold when you begin paying tax, if you paid zero tax on the first 30k of income and then progressively increase the tax rate as you earn more if creates a more effective tax system. There is zero point in taking money off people only to give it back to them in forms of government support.

Its very simple, if you pay yourself 250k a year, which is not a lot of money in todays world, and you employ people in your company, and the government decides to take 20% more, you just lay off someone and make another take on more responsibility with no additional pay. It happens all the time. why would the owner of the business cut his own income to keep paying the government.
If you dont agree, please send me your owed tax dollars, you would currently be paying, that you are not being paying now, and I will be glad to take it off your hands ,

Why don't you just lay the person off and make the other person take on more responsibility with no additional pay anyway? You don't need to blame govt tax policy for your lack of making more profit when it's right there for the taking.

Thats also a possible idea. limit income, raise all the minimum wages, so those who make more than the min make less in the market place, and make more people do more for less, I like it

I dont agree. You are very mistaken. $250K a year IS a generous income. Roughly 3 times national average (household not individual) pay (60K). Delta is gonna be pissed, careful he could show up and call you names like he does me cause im a rich lib living the easy life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Househ..._United_States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._capita_income
I agree $250K/yr makes you well paid, does not make you rich (it does over time). Ralphs point is true for the actual rich, if they get extra cash, they dont spend it, does not assist the economy. You give a guy making 30-40K a year, they will spend it all by the end of the month, immediately re-investing in the economy.

I have to laugh when a business owner making a paltry $250K a year says they'll lay off their minimum wage employees and do the job themselves if the minimum wage is raised.

I dont make 250k a year, and am not a business owner, i have a territory that is similar to owning a business and am a w2 employee, that does not make a salary or expenses, I actually earn my income based on sales and sales only, no sales no pay.
I also understand economics on all sides of the scale and understand household incomes etc etc. Its very simple, some put money back into the system, some do not. Fundamentally, people work for income and reward. If you take the reward away, people will do less, strive to do less, and indirectly devalue their own positions. If you create penalty driven regulations, and high tax thresholds, you deter people to growing past certain income levels. Thats why wealthy people, hide their income, divest into property, other business, etc etc or break past the threshold and become mega wealthy. Its not people making 1 mil a year, its Amazon, walmart, etc that strong arm the system. Although they employ hundreds of thousands of people, and take all the risk. So risk and investment pay a big part of it.
In the end, you cannot take from one to give to another and not believe there will be fall out from it.

Totally agree but that knife cut both ways. You are trying to optimize the system for the 1% at the top. 99% of people below the 1% can strive, do more and not be rewarded to anything like the same value. So what effort do you expect the majority to put in?

I am not for the 1% paying less, but not paying more, yes. The majority of people who make 30 to 50k per year, usually choose those positions. Some are low pay, some are limited in income growth, but are all viable, quality, needed positions. Give them a 100k value, for 30k work will inflate the already inflated market, and milk will become 10 bucks a gallon. Its been happening sense the currency was printed past the gold reverse and will continue. If you were in the millions per year income bracket, you would not want to be handcuffed, its just a plain fact. You may say that unit you are in it. You work your ass off to get there, then someone comes and takes it away. I pay 50% by the time its all over, not including business expensive, travel, gas, hotels, etc etc. I am not in the million a year club either, so there are years, when it would be better to cut 25 or 30% of my revenue down, and still take the same amount home. Why work that extra 10 hours a week, all the extra travel, etc etc only to see the government take it away.
So its like those who have salaries of hourly, go work an additional 10 hour overtime, but we are just not paying you at all, then we are going to over tax the income you made prior, during the year. total BS

Zoom out a little bit, how is it equitable than one persons effort is worth 10x, 100x, 1000x, 1,000,000x another persons?
Part of it an unequal starting place, some people are just born into an environment where the odds are massively stacked against them having the opportunity to have the education, expectation and role models to earn more than 100k per year.
Part of it is the way the system is structured, if you have access to capital and can organise labor then you can earn many magnitudes higher than someone who does not.
I'm not saying anything is wrong or right, it just is what it is, it's the way the system is set up, it's what it's optimized for. Changing this system requires a completely new paradigm, a new way of doing things.
And no, back in your hole righties, I'm not suggesting communism or socialism, we need something totally new.

I had no silver spoon, no college funding, and damn near dirt floors. I did have a mother and father, in my life, and my parents allowed me to work side jobs, had to take college prep but was on work release, and pretty much worked full-time from 10th grade till now. i made many mistakes, but i did not do drugs, did not run the streets, did not get into gangs and did not steel. So making good decisions is a part of it. i did stand in line for government cheese with my parents a few times. Times were tough, but we did it together. I think broken homes, and poor upbringing is a problem. I also think people get codependent on the system, and live out their lives on it. Its sad, but I made my own way, no financial help.
i paid my college, got jobs that allowed growth, worked my ass off. It can be done. I also had a child at 23, took care of those financial responsibilities and struggled through it. I have also been willing to dump everything and start over, more than once. So it has a lot to do with the person and their drive to change.

Mate no doubt, some people will succeed no matter what the odds, some people are just winners and can "pull themselves up by there bootstraps" A very large proportion of people cannot. That is just the truth, we can either deal with it and design a better system which incentives good behavior and helps people who otherwise wouldn't succeed or we can just continue with what we have got and keep in the same place we are.
It might sounds all Kumbaya but I really believe that we would be all better off if the majority of people were successful and productive rather than the few.

This is what was rumored would happen because Obamacare. Well, here it is "Trumpcare" . Doctors forced to decide who will live. When you leave a grifter in charge of americas health, this is what you get. Could not mange to meet the most minimum of standards or any of the original goals, hospitals over run. Vote in November.
A hospital in Starr County, Texas, is so overrun with coronavirus cases that officials there said it would choose which patients to use its resources on and send those most likely to die back home to their families.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Dr. Jose Vasquez — the health authority for Starr County — said the county was creating guidelines to help health workers decide how to use resources on patients with the best chance of survival.
Vasquez added that a committee would decide which patients were most likely to die at Starr County Memorial Hospital — the only hospital in the county — and would send them home.
"The situation is desperate," he said Tuesday. "We cannot continue functioning in the Starr County Memorial Hospital nor in our county in the way that things are going. The numbers are staggering."

Check out this dude, calls for some fiscal responsibility, rightly points out the dangers of debt and deficit:
https://www.enzi.senate.gov/public/i...QkovKdy2gc8soI
Basically wants to limit the money available for the average American in the next bail out bill. Cool.
Here's things he had an opportunity to limit but didn't:
Tax cuts
Military spending greater than the next top 10 counties combined
Covid corporate bailout.
Seems republicans wring their hands about debt and deficit for spending when it comes to the average person but crickets when it's tax cuts for the wealthy or corporate socialism. Who are these people representing?

So you think they’re not admitting guilt or paying a dime because there was nothing wrong with them lying like a 95sn about this kid? Why settle then? Think they should have let this go to trial? Maybe they should have hired you instead of their own attorneys? They would’ve gotten their Shawndoggies handed to them in court if they would’ve let a jury decide the damages.
Dude... He’s becoming a multi-millionaire as each one of these libtard msm outlets are forced to pay for their crimes and reaping what they’ve sown. All the main msm players are getting theirs right now and it’s wonderful. You are slimy and slippery, feigning objectivity, trying to slip out of the firm grip of truth and reality. Typical libtard.

Wow, those are quite a few conclusions to draw. Can you point me to a credible media report corroborating your assertions? Particularly, any detail on the “crimes” and evidence of multimillion dollar settlements would be great. As someone with a very light grasp on truth and reality, I find that corroborating evidence is the only thing that keeps me teathered.
If the mere existence of a settlement agreement were an admission of an accuser’s assertions then that would mean that Trumps string of settlement agreements and NDAs is also an example of someone being forced to pay for his crimes and reaping what he has sown, right?

I can point you to the fact that I, as well as most people here watched the video, you moron! I witnessed the character assassination in real time.
Tell you what. Let’s just make believe he got a really great paper route or that he hit the lotto. That way you can keep your head buried in the sand and save face at the same time while he’s driving a Ferrari. Cool? Win win win. Although I don’t think that’s this kid’s style.
I love how you turn into an effing lawyer so quickly when your lying, libtard msm buddies are on the ropes with their wallets open. This is awesome. I’m gonna sleep well knowing this kid is sticking it to the libtard man in such a big way. You, on the other hand, can feel free to keep thinking your douchey pals in the msm are getting away with more character assassinations at 6:00 and 11:00 with no consequences. Let me know how that works out for your libtard buddies.

Cool off Mark. If your argument is good it should speak for itself. No need to get personal or insulting.

I'm chill. I just find it a waste of time as well as disingenuous for you to imply the MSM did nothing wrong or that this kid isn't getting some well-deserved fat checks. They straight up annihilated his character and completely mischaracterized what was happening there. It was intentional. They fabricated the story. It was also very telling how every MSM outlet parroted each other's lies. They ran that video with their false narrative multiple times daily for weeks. It was all done because the kid had a Trump hat on. That was his crime. All those MSM dem party propagandists deserve to pay and you know it. If you disagree, you're no different than them.
The Ferrari comment was tongue-in-cheek, followed by, "I don't think that's this kid's style." Try to keep up, Shawn.

So no actual evidence of fat checks, and definitely no admission of liability.
Not sure how this is different from basically every other settlement of a lawsuit from the beginning of time. Here, especially, the plaintiff has an (apparent) interest in at least getting an apology as part of the settlement. But he wasn't able to extract even that. Seems odd... because as you say the facts are in the public domain. The conclusion I draw from that is that the settlement wasn't as great as you think... though I'm sure his lawyers got paid.

Listen, stupid. I’m trying to be nice here, but you’re making it impossible. Why don’t you read the article and come back before spewing more stupidity?
Because I’m such a nice guy, I’ll save you some time and offer a direct quote from the article that says, “This follows the multi-million dollar settlement CNN made with the teenager back in January.” Got it? So does CNN write multi-million dollar checks for not doing anything wrong to people? If so, where can I stand in that line of people waiting for their CNN checks?

I guess I'm just not smart enough to follow along. I know Fox is never misleading, but if I go to your story and click on the link to Fox's earlier CNN settlement story it just says that they "settled a multimillion dollar lawsuit," not that Sandman got multi-millions in the settlement. So aside from the unsupported assertion in the Fox story that's not supported by the other Fox story about the CNN settlement is there any other media source reporting multi-millions in settlement?
I'm not saying you are wrong but when I read those two stories together, it just sounds like the writer of Fox's WaPo story misconstrued Fox's earlier CNN story (or drew an unsupported conclusion). Surely if the settlement with CNN were for multi-millions there would be other corroborating media reports?

It's intentionally misleading (and Mark unsurprisingly has problems with reading comprehension) - the reference is to what he sued FOR ($250 mil), not what was settled for - which does not seem to be in the public domain (yet).

Didnt he sue several media companies? For $800M? Isnt this the definition of frivolous lawsuit? Any way to describe how/why its worth $250M? What was the job he had making minimum wage? Is he scared for life? His freedoms taken from him? Lost wages? Lost time? Reputation ruined? Was he beaten? His MAGA hat get dirty? Disabled for life? Anything? They could have settled the case for $1.00 and tip of the cap.

Probably why POTUS skipped the 1st pitch deal.
Picked up a new San Francisco Giants Baseball shirt last night. They are the Big Orange i can be happy to rep. Took 2 from that high priced team in LA over the weekend.

More symbolism over substance. Most of those guys have now been co-opted by the leftist, BLM lunatics and are afraid of their own shadows. Gotta love PC, riots and cancel culture. The three biggest accomplishments of the left in the last decade. Y’all must be so proud.

He’s on his way to suing a dozen or so. It’s not even a little frivolous. It was the definition of a left wing conspiracy when all of your beloved libtard, TDS-suffering, evil MSM outlets (you know, the ones you lie and claim aren’t biased) aligned themselves around an intentionally made up lie to try to punish anyone wearing a MAGA hat. Do you posses the ability to step outside of your own selfish self long enough to imagine this kid, his family and friends having to watch him being crucified on every MSM channel as they bore false witness against him every day and night for weeks? GTFOH with your transparent efforts to belittle him even further after being made a laughing stock by a group of rabid liars.

and yet sadly he can't even extract a "my bad" out of a single media outlet? Just pocket those multimilion-dollar checks and shut up for life. What a hero of the culture wars.

Yep. That’s the sad part. Guess he’ll be made to suffer again, drying his eyes with hundred dollar bills. So now you’ll admit he got paid bigly?

Speculation so far is that it's in the ballpark of $25k - nuisance/go away money with no fault admitted to avoid an expensive trial. Shall we go back a few pages here and see what Rod had to say about settling lawsuits lol

You mean that’s the spin that’s being put on this by the libtards in the MSM and you WISH it is true. Problem is we KNOW these are established liars so you can bet the opposite is true. Oh, and then there’s this.

That article looks like total spin. It claims that a CNN correspondent has violated an confidentiality agreement w/ CNN and is lying when he "speculated' on the WAPO settlement. Somebody needs to educate the author about the meaning of speculation.

Excuse me counselor, may we have a moment of silence for Nick Sandmann and the terrible horror he endured. This is perhaps the greatest tragedy in the history of the united states. Its hard to believe he was able to survive, his MAGA hat never astray, let alone keep a smirk on his face the entire duration of this crime against him. I move to commission a Sandmann statue to remember this moment for all eternity.

All kidding aside, I’m genuinely surprised at how protective you WW libtards are of your MSM. I shouldn’t be in general, but this case was so open/shut against those lying propagandists. Each of your stocks lost value today.
