Oh! You mean like the tariffs that are being imposed now. Are you saying they make the life of everyday Americans worse with inflation?
And you’re saying rich billionaires are not sympathetic to regular people and that we need to coddle them with more tax breaks? Current #Threat included?
I'm sick of Cook bowing down to the Orange monkey. If he showed some backbone, he would get a lot more people on board. The whole world is sick of Trump.
I’m not saying tariffs won’t raise prices. Increasing taxes definitely would increase prices a lot more, though, and would be much harder to reverse barring some miracle in Congress.
No. The whole world is intrigued by him.
WTF is this? So who at Apple gets a say in these donations? Is it Tim Cook? Apple should not be supporting an authoritarian regime like this. Shame on Apple.
Oh, now that's a funny joke.
I’m an independent contractor and make good money, but have to buy insurance through the marketplace. Maybe try not to be so narrow minded and realize that not everyone using it is lazy and on welfare. 🙄
Are you arguing against the fact that UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, China, Singapor etc arent among the best countries in the world? Western democracies are falling apart all over and barely functional as a society.
Lets look at a basic list, you tell me which countries in the middle east are doing better:
Monarchies:
- Saudi Arabia – Absolute monarchy
- Jordan – Constitutional monarchy
- Morocco – Constitutional monarchy
- Kuwait – Constitutional monarchy (Emir)
- Bahrain – Constitutional monarchy (King)
- Qatar – Absolute monarchy (Emir)
- United Arab Emirates (UAE) – Federation of hereditary monarchies
- Oman – Absolute monarchy (Sultan)
- Egypt – Republic
- Iraq – Federal parliamentary republic
- Syria – Republic
- Lebanon – Parliamentary republic
- Israel – Parliamentary democracy
- Turkey – Presidential republic
- Iran – Islamic republic (theocratic elements)
- Yemen – Republic
If nothing else, it's the sheer size of what Trump has ordered to be built that's also offensive. A 3D rendering of it, including the White House residence and the West Wing, shows that what Trump wants is a huge building that dwarfs the residence, maybe even taller than it, like Trump likes to loom over people shorter than him. If this design is approved (design and construction approval is required, unlike demolition), this will be, to a large degree, Donald Trump's ballroom. That's how it will always be described, which is what he's after.
If you’re making good money, none of the subsidies are headed your way. You can also buy direct through the insurance companies.
As is his right. The government strong armed an investigation against him based on a fabricated document created by the opposition. This is all now known facts.
As a conservative, it boggles my mind how the Republican Party hasn't figured out how a checkbook works after all these years of pretending to be fiscally responsible. Spending doesn't bankrupt you. Spending more than you take in bankrupts you. The deficit jumps every time Republicans pass tax cuts without cutting spending. That's what is responsible for our massive debt. Democrats may spend too much, but at least they pay for it with tax increases. Instead of making it our kids' problem.
That’s why we need both sides to come together and come up with ways to help everyday Americans instead of bowing to the whims of one. Tax breaks and funding should come with conditions. Drug companies use gov money to do research and yet they leech off of people to make money hundreds of times their margin. Our taxes should work for us as does the gov instead of working to hide pedo files and furloughing federal workers.
The rates are still better on the marketplace than directly from the insurance companies from what I’ve seen.
Ah yes, Fox News "facts"- complete lies.
If that were true than lower taxes would mean less expensive goods. We can all see that's not true.
Every modern Republican presidency has ended in a major recession. We can't keep trying the same failed tactics. All that they accomplish is increasing the wealth gap to create a new aristocracy.
Pretty soon the argument will be that we have to give rich people whatever they want or else they'll take their resources and move to another country. It's the inevitable result of the MAGA movement.
The picture of a piece of history being torn down?
What dictionary are you using?
Probably some alternate conservative dictionary because the real one is too "wOkE"
Partially? 😆
I'm pretty sure it was completely torn down.
