I’m totally down with drastically cutting military spending, these two things are not mutually exclusive.

Oh hey! Look! People can peacefully protest WITHOUT being disrepectful to a country’s anthem/flag/armed forces.

we can choose to disagree about the purpose of govt. it’s easy to spend other people’s money, isn’t it?

you’re probably pro choice too....

you totally didn’t read what I said and have no understanding of what debt is. It’s not unlimited and the consequences of that debt are already being felt. Are there any liberals that understand that money doesn’t grow on trees and that scarcity is a thing?

Our debt is the reason we cannot save lives, you’re so oblivious.

You make some fair points, it’d be better if more states gave more in than they took, but that doesnt mean we should admit more state(s) that are going to make the budget worse. However, the supreme visibility of PR’s debt situation (I mean honestly, what does the USA get in return?) Fiscally, its a complete non…

College athletes are privileged. Lets just get it out and say it.

For one, they could start paying federal income tax before they start asking for equal representation and rights.

Income tax is the BIGGEST PIECE of the PIE by far....this is not some footnote or subtlety to glance over. They’re getting a great deal, they’re paying like 1/5th the tax of everyone else and getting 90% of the rights. PR doesn’t have a net economic benefit to the US and at this point with our debt situation why…

No, they do NOT pay federal income tax. Look it up. They cannot just choose to become a state anymore than a foreign country can vote to become a state. The only reason they want to become a state is because they want largesse.

News flash: AA studies was always a scam to start out with.

Yeah, PR is not part of America, it’s not a US state. A territory is not a state. They do NOT pay taxes.

Perfect!

you’re the one arguing that tests are racist, you’re trying to prove it. you still haven’t. the entire (liberal, i might add) education industry would not just create tests biased against minorities, it’s not in their interest.

So basically you’re saying that “you’ll just have to trust me that these black folks are super smart there’s just no way I can prove it by a test of any kind and I never will bc all tests are racist” does that sound like anecdotal info to you?

Sure, then why not develop a “non racist” IQ test to refute the “racist” ones?

the only ppl who think iq tests are racist are below average intelligence liberals who score poorly on them. (/obvious)

Well, this wall was built by hispanics, so you know the quality...

And you idiots (undoubtedly liberals) criticize Trump voters?
