^SS defenderism in a nutshell

I have to pay taxes because I earn over a million dollars a year! This is unfair! Poor people should work hard, like me, a Wall Street executive!

[Liriena]

Well, this is disturbingly unsurprising.

[Liriena]

And now, I wallow in vicarious shame due to the realization that I share a species with this person.

Well I don't think anyone should have to pay taxes, because I believe in equality under the law. And even the wealthy Wall Street executive once started as a lowly stock broker. In fact this logic can extend to anyone over 55 years old who had their whole lives to make money.

[Conserative Morality]

Well, this is disturbingly unsurprising.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was all made up, considering that he talks about how Iran 'released' the video when his own story contradicts that.

False. That exec could have inherent a load of money and lived a rich pampered life.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard all day, and I just heard Trump talk.

How do taxes violate equality under the law? What about a flat tax?

[Socialist Nordia]

Well, this is disturbingly unsurprising.

God damn it Trump. Keep your mouth shut for once, why won't you?

Feingold is going to crush him.

The fairness of a flat tax to a progressive tax is like the fairness of a poll tax to a flat tax. It's just a smokescreen for avoiding paying into the system like the rest of the peons.

I thought he used to support a flat tax, which is why I asked.

[Liriena]

If Trump thinks he's a friend of the LGBT+ community, he's going to need new spokespeople.

Your argument makes no sense. Furthermore, wealth is not inherently correlated to a whole life spent working hard to acquire it. Even in the United States, social mobility has declined substantially, and many, if not most, of the wealthiest people in the country inherited their wealth.

Here's my first wild stab in the dark election prediction for november:

Hillary 47
Trump 40
Johnson 12
Stein/others 1

Nothing to go on but gut feeling, but hey it works for the Donald!

Mine:

Clinton: 53.4
Trump: 43.2
Johnson: 3.4
Stein: >1

CNN town hall with Johnson is about to start.

CNN town hall with Johnson is about to start.

Awesome. Hope he gets good ratings.

As a socialist, I am not too keen on his laissez faire economics, but I appreciate the purity and sincerity of his beliefs, and he deserves a fair place in this race.

Really? I guess I'll tune in. About time I actually listened to the man. Hopefully whoever is moderating will do their job and ask tough, but fair questions.

[Eol Sha]

On an unrelated note, I just saw a Trump Super PAC ad decrying Clinton for taking money from megadonors. The hypocrisy is endless.

A Clinton super PAC should respond by bringing up how Trump begged the Koch brothers for their support, and they refused him.

Hmm...does Bill Weld really need to be on the stage with Gary Johnson?

Yeah, Weld kicks ass

[Liriena]

Damn, the FiveThirtyEight forecasts keep getting worse and worse for Trump.

Yeah, Weld kicks ass

I wouldn't mind a cage fight between the two.

Na, Johnson v Trump would be better.

Thankfully Johnson's speaking looks better thus far.
