Police and fire are funded at the local level. Flat federal taxes wouldn’t affect your local services.

I can only imagine that the oh-so thinly-veiled disdain liberals have for certain parts of middle America is in no way responsible for their unwillingness to vote for liberals.

If you are going for situational examples...I’m sure we can find some cases where the system is completely abused.

Shouldn’t the government help the poor to take care of themselves, instead of just taking care of them?

And most people would just be waiting on the tides to rise.

Philanthropy is fine and dandy. Show me a good charity, though, and I’ll show you an idea that could be practiced on much larger scale by a government.

Gosh, if only there were historical examples of how radical government-administered redistribution impacted an economy and the people living within it.

Noam Chomsky disagrees with you. He asserts that media censorship comes in the form of the industry only recruiting, hiring and grooming people who posses certain political ideologies. That the other opinions never make it through journalism school because they either self select out or are made to leave.

I would say more like “Fuck Everyone who voted” but who am I kidding.. It was like choosing which poison to take. The ballot read, and I quote: “You want the red restriction of freedoms or the blue restriction of freedoms? Either way, you will be fucked in the ass. XOXO Republicans & Democrats”

Pretty scary stuff. Unions are an option, certainly, and I would never discourage anyone from joining a union.

RE: The regulatory attorney. I fear *this* will be what Obama’s legacy winds up being (especially if the ACA is gutted/repealed). Every batshit crazy decision trump makes will be caveated in history books with “He was able to do this because Obama consolidated more and more power in the executive branch through…

The power to tax is the power to regulate. Something no government should do to a person’s beliefs.

Let’s not forget, Hillary Clinton said Robert Bird was her mentor and friend. For those of you that don’t know, Robert Bird was a klansman.

My church has none of these things:

Yeah, because the best way to be respectful to people is to call them insane and mock their beliefs. It’s okay, though, because Christians aren’t on the PC police protected list. It’s perfectly okay to mock them and berate them since you are intellectually and morally superior. You want to know how Trump won? …

Making the assumption that because a few horrible pastors do this, means all pastors do it, just confirms your ignorance and lack of intelligence.

I guess I should feel blessed to go to a non-denominational church that freely accepts LGBTQ, black, white, all races, etc equally. Our pastor didn’t say anything about WHO to vote for, but rather to just get out and vote and think (and pray) about who would be best to receive our vote.

Thanks for being a dick to people you don’t know that may have different belief systems than you.

Regardless of what you believe vs. I in regards to God’s existence, my church does some absolutely amazing things to help the community with the donations they receive.

This argument never holds any water. Just because someone supports you doesn’t mean you support them. He could have Michael Vick endorse him and people would claim he supports dog fighting. It’s silly and a weak argument.
