Stonesipher Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Appreciate his candor sure but looping all dems in with his opinion is the tag line of most of you here for that feel good moment you can’t get enough of.

55555s Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I am all for increasing taxes on the poor. In terms of income taxes, they pay nothing. everyone should pay taxes. IMO we should ALL pay the same rate. As for he second post, Bloomberg is dead center of the Dem party, and has been for years. He is most definitely NOT fringe for the party. .

Are you for or against taxing "sugary drinks"?

jkrock Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 The progs could always send out the armed tax collectors to choke them out in the streets when they don't pay their fair share. We've seen it in Bloomberg's town before. "mother Theresa was a POS"-fish'nmagician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then played the Bloomberg segment and they were easily similar, separated by 27 years. “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBHarvey Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 could you imagine if Trump said that? it'd be replayed 10 times an hour on every mainstream news outlet for months. there'd be people marching on Washington with signs and everything. they would use that clip in every single campaign ad.... I've done stuff I ain't proud of, and the stuff I am proud of is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you agree that he speaks for more Democrats than not? A substantial number? Is he a prominent voice for the Modern Democrat party? When he speaks, do party elders/leaders take heed? .

Buckscorider Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Scary guy. Fear mongering to justify taxing many Americans favorite beverages. I suppose if they tax drinks and people still become obese and die they would need to tax other things. Crushed barbs save fish, keep that rod bent!

Well, politicians being what they are will jump on it if they see votes for doing so. I do like your comments about fools though it is right on and accounts for many of the posts here.

dena Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 If income taxes were truly fair, everybody would pay the same amount. But the object of our 'progressive' tax system is to raise revenue by taxing that other guy for votes. Bloomy just woke up and realized that if you confiscated all the wealth from guys like him it would not pay the bills, and he wants the 'poor' to be as poor as he will be when the day of reckoning comes. Material abundance without character is the path of destruction. -Thomas JeffersonThere are two ways to be fooled.

The party elders are idiots. That's why Hillary was the keynote at Hofstra yesterday The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
