Trumped

[UndertheHalo]

I'm not going to tell you how to feel about what you get in return from this country.  We obviously disagree.  All the same, it seems to me that your prospects for great tax relief from Trump seem pretty unlikely.

Tell me what I'll get from my tax dollars after my senior graduates this year?  I'll get roads to drive on and?

I agree. And I won't be voting for the clown. But that being said, I don't begrudge people for voting with their wallet.

The US Military (supposedly) protecting our interests both at home and abroad, the US Postal service, environmental regulation trying to do what it can to at least slow down climate change, the understaffed FDA trying to make sure the food that goes to your table (and restaurant) every day is safe, police and fire departments in case of emergency...those are just a few of the things, Strad.

So just before the movie I watched yesterday.  They had the usual ads at the cheap theaters.  One just had me fuming.  It was a message to get out and vote.  Except it wasn't just get out and vote.  It was aimed at BLM, and May Day, and other minorities to get out and vote and get your vote heard.  And they crossed the e out and the message was vota. 

It pissed me off enough that I am again debating vota for Trump.  Since it's obvious that this country is going to go downhill, might as well do it in spectacular fashion.

Yeah, it's insane that an ad is targeted at votas and not voters.  How dare they try to reach out to people who talk like that?  They don't deserve to vote or to be encouraged to vote.  

Your last sentence is so bereft of logic it should be on a meme.

I don't begrudge people voting their wallets either.  I do begrudge people who insist on existing in a  lunatic paranoid alternate reality in order to justify voting for a populist madman.  It seems you have chosen not to do so however so we agree on some level.

Trump's plan of cutting taxes on the wealthy and deregulation is just the same as Bush's plan.  Why do people think it well end any differently?

Because Congress has to enact these things, not the president?

So all the concerns about either presidential candidate's economic platform are moot?

 I would get rid of the US Postal Service or at the very least cut it down to 3 times a week and if you need it there overnight or on a specific day then you pay extra or go private.  I would cut military, but then again I say that having zero knowledge of what I would do other than not be so prominent in the middle east.  Not sure what I would possibly do to take care of the fire and police departments, I consider that to be necessary.

Wanting to keep the money you work for is honorable.  Taking it by force is theft.

Close down our bases in Germany, South Korea, and Japan for starters.

Would you be willing to not be stolen from, a.k.a. taxed, if you were therefore prohibited from using anything that is paid for by taxes?

I was impressed by the kid who took my order. It was a complicated one and he repeated it perfectly.

Sometimes I think that Stradling thinks of AW.com as just his mystery shoppers.

[Stradling]

No, but if I want honest feedback this place has no problem being honest.  

[UndertheHalo]

This is for you Strad.

They always get it right. It is a wonderful feeling not having to check the box to make sure it is correct.
