  1. You complain about the wealth gap but want to add more poor people. How is that going to shrink the wealth gap? Adding more poor people is counterproductive to your goal in my opinion.
  2. There is a huge wealth gap, but adding more poor people to the population is only going to widen the gap and at the same time adding to the welfare rolls. How do you feel about the people who are already in this country that want a better life? Why are they ignored?
  3. Let's say I agree with everything that you said (I don't). The system does not work and it is bad for poor people is your argument right? Then why add more people who will create more wealth for the people who are benefiting from said people?
  4. I'm arguing that calling them takers is not a racist presumption, as you stated. The race of a person is not an issue when it comes to the burden placed on the state to provide welfare for poor people. Adding more people who more than likely will be under or at the poverty level, is only going to strain the system more. Where is all of this money going to come from? How much extra tax revenue is generated from someone below the poverty level? Will it be enough to cover the amount of benefits they take from the government?
  5. There is nothing racist about it. Russian and Chinese people are having anchor babies too. The argument I read on here all of the time is that the immigrants will come here and do the jobs that citizens won't do. From my experience, that is true but many of these jobs are not high paying and probably will not get them above the poverty line. A family of 4 with only one member working would need to have an hourly wage of more than $12 an hour just to be at poverty level. So if they take some $10 per hour job, they will be on government assistance.
  6. The same people who say the poor in this country have it bad and need more help are the same ones advocating to add more poor people to the pot. I do not believe that they contribute more in taxes than they take from the government.
  7. Time to turn those Kawhi jerseys into Coyote jerseys.
  8. $221 million sounds a lot better than $190 million to me, but I'm greedy.
  9. Like I said, it's so ridiculous that it never even crossed my mind that he would side with Russia over his own intelligence agencies.
  10. I thought he was smart enough to know that he should listen to his own intelligence agencies rather than the person they are investigating.
  11. I knew he was a narcissist and an asshole, but I thought he was an American first.
  12. I never thought he would go this far. I admit, it didn't bother me when he was pissing off some Brits and Germans but now he's turning on his own people. Ridiculous.
  13. I think a big problem with kids today is that the parents impress upon them the importance of getting a degree but not what to major in. The whole "do what you love" is bad advice if their kid loves something that isn't in demand. I didn't study electrical engineering because it was fun, I studied it because I knew there would be plenty of opportunities for me when I graduated. It was 5 years of bullshit, but it was worth it. College isn't for everyone. Learn a trade or join the military. Use the Pell Grant if you are poor. There are plenty of opportunities for people to make a better life for themselves.
  14. You don't have to go into massive debt to learn a trade which someone could make a good living on.
  15. Alienating our trading partners implied that. Trump is just unlikable but that doesn't mean that we will not prosper.
  16. Everyone is just going to stop trading with the US because they don't like Trump?
  17. Because I don't care if the UK or anyone else thinks he is nice or awesome. If he was a jerk and America was prospering, very few people would care.
  18. I just don't think anyone has to be likeable to make America great. I don't think Trump is making America great, but the idea that he has to be liked or else we won't be great is funny.
  19. So we are going to tax the rich. Then when that isn't enough (because it won't be) they'll just move down to the middle class. No thanks.
  20. My first question: where is the money going to come from?
  21. I don't agree with a lot of stuff Trump does or says and I didnt even vote for him, but I couldn't care less if he is liked especially by people outside of the US.
  22. I'm as much sure they're not as you are that they are. If there was no way at all for them to get into the US, I am confident that they would find somewhere else to find asylum. Acting like they'll all die if they don't get into the US is absurd.
  23. Do the gangs follow them around wherever they go? Pretty sure there are plenty of places they can go in the Americas.
