  1. I'm not asking if you play word games. I can't have an intelligent discussion with your without YOUR definition of what a "conservative" is. How do you get that from what I'm posting? Are you implying that I don't want taxes kept low for people that are not top earners? IDK what examples you're looking for. I didn't say anything about voting. Do you have someone that shares your positions that you have had an opportunity to vote for lately?
  2. If you think everyone but badteammate is a conservative here, I would LOVE to understand your definition of "conservative".
  3. Apparently, you didn't actually look at my positions in my post. But, I'll give you kudos for looking that up on the internet.
  4. That's kind of rude.
  5. Ask @Bozo_Casanova Don't know his definition, but apparently I'm not remotely conservative. So...go to my post above on my positions...
  6. You should probably practice that.
  7. Interesting... Didn't realize you were the left to Karl Marx...
  8. Do you have anything more intelligent than ad hominems?
  9. Name the posters that are conservative on here. Shouldn't take you long...
  10. I'm not sure I really believe you care about "fiscal conservatism" or deficit reduction. I know you couldn't post on this site regularly espousing those positions without getting shit on. What were GHWB's: a) massive debt funded tax policies 2) wars of convienience iii) new entitlements D) proposed borrowing to finance the transition (and what "transition"?)
  11. So, are you of the opinion that SS operates at 100% efficiency?
  12. Define your version of "conservative". Maybe others that were conservative bastardized your/the definition. Maybe the left has been able to stigmatize your/the definition. I'd like to see your view. HOWEVER...I'm going to steal this from someone else I know because it definitely fits me: I'm no longer a "conservative". I'm for whatever limits domestic government, keeps taxes low, maximizes liberty, while always putting Americans first. Find a label for that and I'll take it.
  13. GHWB increased taxes. THAT is why they abandoned him. Then in 1991, he signed a bill increasing taxes. His son, GWB, DID propose reducing spending, though. But, it would have involved reforming social security. The Democrats shot that down.
  14. He does. And it would be amusing (to me, I'm sure not you) if he trolled people and named it Trump University (yes I know about the other one).
  15. Really... That's all you have now? I'm curious. Did you try to bring me back because you wanted honest, intelligent discussion, or because this echo chamber has run off everyone that is even remotely conservative? Or were you were you being disingenuous and just trying to bring me back so that I could get attacked by the denizens on this site?
  16. Nope. They'll just borrow more. Do more of that @Bozo_Casanova "wealth transfer" he's against...
  17. Hell, I had this entire forum on ignore until @Bozo_Casanova sucked me back in for the first time in a few years.
  18. Are you aware that wealth and income are two separate things?
  19. The SSA not only disagrees with you, but they point to a different party that changed the accounting rules... Note that in 1968, the Democrats controlled the Senate, House, and Presidency... I posted above some data for you.
  20. You DO understand that is a graph of federal REVENUES, right? Can you explain how those revenues increasing contradicts my other post?
  21. Sigh...we're discussing FEDERAL INCOME taxes. There are not any FEDERAL sales or property taxes (well, I'm sure the tax code has some fucked up obscure ones, but not for the vast majority of people). Some people avoid SS by working in jobs that don't pay into it. Texas teachers, for instance. But, almost 50% of workers do not pay ANY federal income taxes. The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent. And there are a significant percentage of those bottom 50% that pay a NEGATIVE income tax rate. Could you expound on this?
  22. You DO understand that SS and MC will soon not take in enough money to pay out current benefits within a decade, right? In a decade, if something doesn't get fixed/reformed/whateveryouwanttocallit with both programs, the "wealth transfer" that bozo doesn't want WILL occur... So, if you'd like to ignore the upcoming problem, feel free... But, at some point in time, even the Democrats will be voting to reduce benefits when they realize the "Social Security Trust Fund" is nothing more than this:
  23. The tax REVENUE increased after the cuts. In fact, it increased 47% from 3.33T in 2018 to 4.9T in 2022. Assuming, the dumbass gov't didn't increase spending, then the deficit would decrease and the debt would grow slower. But then, even IF the dumbass gov't DID increase spending, the debt would STILL grow slower than without them... Please explain how DECREASING the rate that the debt increases is a "wealth transfer" from future generations when they will owe LESS with those tax cuts.
  24. I didn't make a comment on them other than to ask how h4l's post jived with the actual numbers... Not a finance guy, either...
  25. How is it a "wealth transfer" when the tax rates went DOWN? And when 50% of people pay 0% taxes...what wealth is being transferred where? NOW...the spending part is Dumbass 101, but that's on both sides...
