and solicialised healthcare.

However, Canada is filled with people from the 'hateful' left, which is why we have one of the best quality of life standards in the world.

...and don't forget that Canadians are higher on the freedom index than Americans. It's all that lefty hate, don't you know.

If Trump gets in, we'll be building a wall and making America pay for it.

Let him commit political Suicide.

That sentiment has been stated repeatedly for over a year, with the clear result now apparent.
A question I've been puzzling lately is why the Entertainment Effete, who refer to Trump as racist, say if he's elected they will move to Canada.....Why don't they say Mexico?.........racist?

Indeed it is. Could it be that Drumpf will take the GOP with him?

Some data

According to the CNN poll, Clinton's net favorability is now -1%, while Drumpf's is -18%. Drumpf's best result was -15%, Clinton's worst -13% (Clinton's best was +43%).

Looks like Clinton's trajectory back to positive favorability is continuing, while Drumpf seems stuck with a double digit negative.

Apparently there's a line developing for Republicans saying they will not endorse Drumpf, including both Bush 41 and Bush 43, and fellow candidates Bush and Graham, while former Republican nominee McCain appears to have stopped short of endorsing Drumpf, and former Republican nominee Romney has made clear his opposition to Drumpf.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

bobby...

The Bush's have been rejected by both Republican Voters and Democrats.

Understanding the differences:

What is happening in The Republican Party. Has an eerie resemblance to Reagan 1980.

bobby...

What ever happened to, Huge Negative Numbers, Reagan?


Also happening in the Democratic Party, what we are seeing is wholesale repudiation and rejection of the two party 'good 'ole boys' system of forcing unpalatable choices down the throats of the Electorate. Both Trump and Sanders supporters want someone who will 'turn the rock over' in Washington and stomp on the vile nasty creatures that try to scurry away, from both sides.

Though not my favorite choice, I think Trump has a better chance of doing that than Sanders(he's been feeding at the public trough his entire career, like the Big B.O.).

You have that backwards. It was the easy availability of Federally-guaranteed student loans that allowed the states to drop much of their funding of public universities within their borders.

Major IIRC the banks lobbied for the federally backed student loan programs.
The defunding started during the anti-tax Reagan era.
The question is which was the chicken or the egg?

This year may turn out to be closer to 1964 for the Republican Party.

A good example of the right side .....Cayman Island 0 taxes on Corps.

High taxes on food , housing .

There own people's poor are in a bad way as a story I saw last night . Be very careful what you wish for .

Australian Liberal Party announce a lowering of Company Taxes to 25% .

So are the Republicans and Libral here that much different or the Torryes in England .

Small Government is good , 0% Company Tax is good , Private Health care is good , maybe you should find out how good it is in the Cayman Islands ....

Trump for Pezz Yehhhhhhhhhh ug ug ug !


Glenn,

'High taxes' is a bad thing... No matter what it is on.

It does not really matter if Business are taxed, or the goods they produce are taxed. Same bloody thing, higher prices for people to buy the goods.

Remember, Businesses do NOT pay 'business taxes'... Their customers do, in the form of higher prices.

So, you see... It just does not matter.

If a food business is directly taxed, food prices go up for the consumer.
If food is taxed at point of sale, food prices go up for the consumer.

Either way, the consumer gets screwed.


Sorry MK if there's not company taxes the taxes on food get to the point where normal average Joe's can't afford it but the ritch can .

I've put another link to the report about the Cayman Islands with the whole report at youtube it's in Sirius's thread but i'll past it again here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq_4hIa0-HI

Enjoy and you may change your mind and be very worried about the "Don"

Es99 there broke aren't they . Better build the wall and tell them to pay up what they owe you for the Oil they are using and if they won't , can't or don't what to pay up then turn the Oil tap off hehehehehe

Wonder how there going to get Mexico to pay up or how there going to extort money from us for there war , oh right they can't or well just pull all our troops and equipment out and then they will have to fight there silly war all buy them self's .And Mexico can flood there country with more Drugs and get the silly idiots to pay for the wall them self's while taking a cut of the profits for them self's either way Mexico won't be paying but the average American Joe will by proxy hehehehe

Trump needs to change his name to "Donald Dumber" .

As always bobby, your posts are concise, elegant, and to the point.
The links you provide invariably lead to reputable sources that really make their point.

kudos to you!

The demographics of the USA, and the way that Drumpf has been insulting people,
makes it impossible for Drumpf to be elected.

It seems like he may have insulted a few too many important people who control the national party's purse strings and party structure. That is fatal. If you don't have local people in every precinct to turn out the vote, the democrats have the numbers to crush you at the polls. That also turns out bad for the republicans in every other contest. It is possible a Drumpf candidacy hands control of congress to the democrats.

Glenn,

You are just not understanding how things work.

If the taxes on an item a business produces works out to US$1.00, it does not matter much if the tax is levied on the business itself or at the point of sale. The customer is going to pay US$1.00 more for the item.

In fact, in Texas (but sadly not all States), if you are talking about a grocery store food item (not a restaurant food item), it works out better for the consumer if the business is NOT taxed, since the food you buy at a grocery store in Texas is EXEMPT from sales taxes.

As far as my opinion of Trump...

Why again should I change my mind?

Here is some of what I have said about Trump in this very thread.

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=77605&postid=1778578

Trump...

He is bad, evil poison.



http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=77605&postid=1768368

Is Trump dangerous? YES!!!!!!!!!

Why?
Trump is a Populist. He tells people what they want to hear in order to get elected.

Trump's message is quite nostalgic. He invokes days gone by.

"Make America Great again!"

America was great, once upon a time. Due to territorial expansion. See Manifest Destiny above...

How can America be made Great again? More territorial expansion leading to more confirmation as "God's Chosen People"...

The $64 billion question is 'does Trump really believe that tripe'? The common people in the USA that he is appealing to seem to. But, does Trump?

If not, then he is just another garden-variety politician... No big deal, they ALL lie to get elected.

But, if so.... DANGER, WILL ROBINSON... DANGER!!!! Another Hitler in the making??



So, I have called Trump an evil poison, said he was dangerous, and compared him to Hitler.

Still think I need to change my mind on Trump?

Typical of Britain lately and not surprising after Murdock gets away with his crap .
Not just Britain, most of the 'news' content sites are starting to go to a subscription or pay per view format. Blame it instead on the demise of printed Newspapers and Magazines. The site owners are very greedy and are trying to 'double dip' not being content with the revenue generated by the nauseating popup, pop under and side bar ads.

Television has been so compromised by greed that most 30 minute programs contain 15 minutes or less of actual programming.

MK you sort of showed what I mean buy having a 0% tax on corps. If you didn't have other taxes like company tax the you would have to do what we would also have to do and tax Food .

Trump I'm shore whant's to bring down company taxes to zero and that's bad for us average Joe's

No GST tax here also on fresh produce only processed or cooked food gets 10% GST tax (and why I don't eat processed food or take away I cook my food )

I'll take it then your voting Trump
