    The problem with anything are the corrupt, dishonest people. Socialism works perfectly well, just like Capitalism works perfectly well, as long as people play by the rules. However, Capitalism is dishonest by design, in order to stay competitive, it inevitably has to resort to trickery, manipulation, cutting corners, outright lying and cheating. So let's not pretend to have a higher moral ground, pointing your fingers at the sometimes imperfect Socialism, when Capitalism exploits every/any social weakness it can lay its hands on.

It was found in his liver during autopsy. He wasn't given the option not to go. As children we grew up watching the affects of his ptsd and then dying of liver and pancreas cancer. The VA kept telling him it was diabetes and wrote him off. Only for him to go to an emergency room at regular hospital to fund out he had weeks to live and never seen outside of the hospital after. He died 13 days later. He went to hospital 9/11/2001 and passed 9/23/01. We watched the towers falling as dr told him he was dying ...

    Kennedy came out looking pretty bad. It's understandable why he didn't want a real response to his questions. And it looks like he may have gotten fooled by a constituent. Why would you bring something up like that without taking a survey to see if you were being duped? Why? Because he knows he has limited time and can cut answers short. Still didn't come out looking too well though. As an aside, his constituency (wealthy business component of it) that keeps paying lower for more benefits from the government naturally doesn't look at what they have already gotten beyond their costs, but wants to know how much more they can get. Figures! Kennedy is one of the representatives/senators who cares a lot about the wealthy and appears would be all too happy to have them pay as close to $0 in taxes while getting trillions in support from society including from military (which makes trillions in profits possible regardless of the lack of fairness in compensation to the majority of workers and citizens).

    He may "know what he's doing with his questions," but that's exactly the point. When asking questions in a genuine way, you actually allow the person to respond. If it's a trash answer, you respond to that, and you can counter with facts at that point. But just wanting the answer you want means you didn't come for new information. It's actually a massive problem in our current day discourse, as everyone just wants their echo chamber. For example, "I know it's not under your jurisdiction..." and then he launches the question anyway. You're a Senator. You could directly contact the department who sent this and figure it out. It's just political theater and we are the audience paying for the "privilege" of watching the show.

    @@MRGior-wo6dk Property tax, income tax, sales tax, tariffs, carbon taxes, other undesireables taxes (alcohol, tobacco, etc). And I hate the lie that money can only be taxed once. Scenario: You work $100 worth. You get paid $100 - income tax. Let's say that's 20% for simplicity. Now you have $80. Spend $80 on an hour of landscaping ~15% goes to sales tax. So that's $68 for the landscaping company 10% goes to corporate income tax The landscaper gets paid, let's say 15 dollars. 20% of that goes into income tax for that landscaping employee. So you made $100. In one further transaction and its necessary taxes, that $100 got split into a few groups: $12 to the landscaping employee. $49.20 went to the landscaping company. And the remaining $38.8 went to tax. So in 2 transaction levels, you earning the money and then spending it on one thing, the government ended up with nearly 40% of the money. Add some more levels of spending, and government gets nearly 100% back. So how can anybody make money? Only 2 solutions. Everybody gets a government job (which only solves half the problem and then still needs option 2), or we rely HEAVILY on international trade to bring external monies into the country. In essence, this means that in order to have heavy taxation, the only solution is to export heavily. Rape the land for its minerals, or severely underpay your workforce so that manufacturing can come to your country, like China and Taiwan. Considering people think $15 an hour minimum wage is too low somehow, I highly doubt $1 an hour manufacturing jobs will every happen. So what's left? Automation. The only way we can afford to remain a world power is to invest heavily in automation. And guess what!?!? That also means wiping out most jobs. Next step? everybody on welfare. Oopsies, problem not solved. Maybe at this point we can reconsider how living in Elysium has fucked us up royally.

    @@MRGior-wo6dk What's worse than the stat you quoted is that that is for the AVERAGE person. Rich people can afford to earn interest on their money, while poor people spend it right away. So which group ends up paying more than 76%? And then another level of money-leeching. The poor also tend to have unmanageable debts, for which they either a) pay 20% interest rates or b) get a payday loan and pay 1000%+ interest when you inevitably default. Our problem isn't that people aren't able to make money, or that some people don't make enough. It's that the government needs such a huge cut to continue to function. To top it all off, as you already mentioned, money isn't printed free. It's printed by the central bank and loaned out with interest.

I like to figure it all up one day and see how far off we are from England? The rich pay 90% tax, of course with free Healthcare. North Korea they starve, freeze, they told everything they can and can't do. How many children to have. Who to marry. If someone higher up doesn't like you like Kim Jon Un uncle he took a missile and blew him up. That's socialism. Do you really think they are going to tell you the truth. Read, research, see how Hitler came into power, first thing he did was take all arms away. He robbed them, put many Jews in consinstration camps and killed hundrend of thousands. If you don't know history it will repeat it self. Look at the Bible for a prime example. God would help them and they would wander from him. They end up in a culture like we have now pretty darn close to Sodom and Gamora. I don't know about you but I'm not one bit proud of our society today. Darn right ashamed to tell you the truth. Can any of you look your grandparents or great grandparents in the eyes. With what is allow on our TV, the language we use, the laziness that taken over us. Instead of being on these stupid electronic we could serve food at soup kitchens, help out at homeless shelters, get our communities together and fix up bags of goods for the homeless, or better yet we could build them housing. We have more homeless now in America than ever before in our history next to the Great depression. Do you hear any law makers cutting off funding from Iran, Iraq, Syria, China, Korea, No but the first order of business is to give all illegal immigrants free housing, food, vehicles, Healthcare. Where is the logic here!!! Hey Nancy you let them in your gated yard that Fort Knox. But you be the first to condemn the border wall. You hypocrite! Driving by these American families on your way to the Capitol like crap under your shoe. You can't understand why they don't like your entitle, disgraceful, disrespectable attitude. I want you to remember one think the good Lord said though without sin cast the first stone. So before your double edge sword tounge sways again think long and hard you will be before the good Lord one fine day on your knees and you can't lie your way out of this evil web you are spinning. You remember and I hope you dream about these poor people living in the streets you so badly treat. They don't want money! They want a job. They want a free America with free interprise if you work hard you can do anything God has blessed you to do exceedingly well. May God grant us forgiveness for our greedy nation, our lying politicians, for our coveting, our decefulness, our hatred, for those who use hatred as a weapon of division. May God have mercy on our souls and on our Mother Land Israel and America.

They think giving more money to planned parenthood is “infrastructure”. Everything THEY want money for is “infrastructure” but anything republicans want money for they call it a waste.

They remove people from society and its benefits for other refusals against common interest, why not this one? Those who don't fill out census that brings funding into their area, should be banned from using anything provided by that funding. Period. Everything from the completed construction projects to community resources. See how proud of themselves they are then. 😅🤣😂 before you start the ignorant bs: NO ONE forces me to fill it out. I CHOOSE TO because that is one way our government determines which resources are lacking in areas and what community needs are. Its a way to Better and Improve our cities and neighborhoods. If you want to selfishly ignore that, to be stubborn, you can _____ right off. It's your right, of course, to be a jack ass, but still. ______ right off.

    If it's funded by a tax increase on wealthy Americans then I'm not sure how that'd cause inflation, since it's not printing new money from thin air in terms of accounting. Are you honestly worried about inflation from a $1.7 billion expenditure when that's not even half of 1% of what the federal government spends in a given year these days? This is money going directly into paying for real work - jobs - that will create infrastructure everyone can use, not just payments directly into people's bank accounts for nothing (unlike the stimulus checks).

    I have worked in the Construction Industry and still do. I started in 1986. It is NO DIFFERENT if you are working in the field then or now. That being said, there is more of a use of electronics which I still hate, Ipads vs. a full sized set of prints, but in the end, you read your prints and build your job. I only went to high school, no college, yet I have been a Supt for 21 years, I have built hotels, apartments and shopping centers, roads, flood channels etc, and not once did I need additional training to read the prints and build the job. IF your an engineer or a architect you will be getting your education at the proper school, NOT retrained by the Fed's. Just another way to fleece our money.

The Trades are responsible for training it's workers. The US Tax payer would gladly pay to have those things built BUT, the US Taxpayer is not obligated in hiring or training workers to do the job, that's on the companies doing the work.
