Why cut taxes?

[creekster]

Sure, the current tax code with its incredible complexity and all sorts of credits, deductions, rules, etc. pretty much behaves that way. A very simple flat tax would not. Also, I don't consider tax changes that reduce what is taken from you as redistribution.

Nancy Pelosi has taught otherwise. Reducing taxes can be seen like Robin Hood in Reverse!! You're giving money back to rich people by stealing it from poor people.

For the sole purpose of buying votes!

Oh c'mon, there is a huge difference between saying vote for me and you will get free health care, free college, and free day care and someone saying vote for me because I don't support open borders or I will appoint originalist judges. The former is creating more entitlements and is absolutely vote buying (you will provide a good that costs something to produce for "free").

You need to apply your caricatures evenly.

SO you don't disagree with him, just want to poke at Trump? That makes sense to me.

Go to Bernie Sanders campaign page and you will see those promised entitlements are not hyperbole.

Keeping out Muslims and Mexicans is ridiculous hyperbole untethered to the facts, as you know.

Not really.

Trump defies satire and hyperbole so I can understand the confusion.

Haha. OK.

So a "Muslim ban" that doesn't ban most Muslims, doesn't ban the most populous Muslim countries, and is only targeted at failed / enemy states. Hyperbole physician heal thyself.

You missed the point. I was matching your hyperbolic statement with an equally hyperbolic statement the other way.

But go ahead and knock yourself out. It has been kind of boring around here since IPU left.

IPU/hallelujah vs. Duderino/BlueK/FrankRyan would've made some enjoyable battles to read. RIP fallen comrades.

I think Frank Ryan has done pretty well- but I think both Frank and IPU are Irish so I cut them both some slack. I haven't fought in a long time...He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy.....

Pretty sure outside of the Trump threads no one would give me that characteristic. That's how insane I think he is. I have opinions on other topics but I think I'm pretty mellow about expressing them on anything else.

I got your attempt. You missed mine about why it's not hyperbole. Let's move on.

Are we really still pretending the sole purporse of his worthless travel ban is not to target muslims?

He said he wants to ban muslims. He asked his team how he can ban muslims without explicitly saying he is banning muslims.
