A Wealth Tax Is Simply Un-American It would make the U.S. less hospitable to the most visionary entr

The vision is to get all the money and create a peasant class that can’t afford to live. Because they sure ain’t investing their money in products for sale prosperity producing jobs. Sorry Bloomberg, we don’t need another person that thinks they are chosen by their almighty to be special and impose their will.

A Wealth Tax Is Simply Un-American
It would make the U.S. less hospitable to the most visionary entrepreneurs.

Thank you ???Trump??? for getting tariffs scrapped???

Old story about guy crediting tree that fell on him for saving his life. Falling down before hitting the guy the tree tore down power lines. Guy’s life was saved when workers came to fix the power lines found the guy under the tree and got him to the hospital. Not a doubt in my mind that Trump will take credit for getting the tariffs lifted that he imposed.

Has Trump lost control of the spotlight.

I’ve been pretty busy the last two weeks but seems like Trump has lost grip on headlining. Is this the beginning of the end for Trump?

Beto was really hurt by "Hell yes we're......

The standard for gun control comes from Hillary. The most radical statement on gun control by Hillary: “"I don't know enough details to tell you how we would do it or how it would work, but certainly the Australia example is worth looking at," Clinton said at a New Hampshire town hall on Friday.
That pales in comparison to Beto’s hell yes we’re going to take your guns.

Hillary has a history of dealing with gun control and the results. Beto should have learned from her instead of blasting into the spotlight light with his version of an apparently newly discovered solution to gun control:

“Beto O'Rourke On Gun Control: 'Hell, Yes, We're Going To Take Your AR-15' : NPR
Sep 12, 2019 · Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke gave a staunch defense of his gun control plan during Thursday's Democratic presidential primary debate, ...”

No matter how sincere he felt, he was lacking in foresight when he siezed the 3rd rail of politics barehanded. The Democratic Party and politicians have a history of negative results when even touching the third rail with insulated rubber gloves. Fortunately he dropped out soon enough to isolate the rest of the party from “confiscation”.

The undeniable solution to gun violence is to remove guns. Confiscation is one sided. Legislation to offer protection against the fears rooted in gun possession is a two sided compromise. The solution to simply tell people you don’t need guns and then take the guns won't work. It didn’t and doesn’t work with alcohol, legal drug, and opioids , among a plethora of drugs when obtained illegally.

Republicans Attack Procedure Silent on Content

With apparently nothing to lose why not vote on and open Impeachment hearings to public. Then Republicans would have to challenge testimony that is supported by the WH released transcript of the July 25th phone call. A phone call that marks the beginning of concessions negative to USA interest. USA Troops being stoned while retreating. Public access to impeachment hearings would check Republican main offensive to impeachment.

Student loan fraudulent swindle

All students that make less than $75,000 a year should use the Trump University Lawsuit as precedent and sue to get all their college loan fore-given.


“As borrowers struggle to keep up with their payments, Sallie Mae flew more than 100 employees on its sales team to Hawaii to celebrate $5 billion in sales.”
