This should have been brought up every time taxes were discussed.

They should be shamed.

They should be called LIARS and CONS.

Policies should be based on FACTS and DATA, not feelings.

This fair and balanced shit has got to end.

There is truth and there are LIES.

The Reagan tax cuts failed.

The Bush tax cuts failed.

The LIARS should have been humiliated.

Instead it is presented as we will just have to disagree.

It sickens me.

I’m not sure why he did that

But yea, we have so many examples of tax cuts hurting the economy and a lot of the mainstream media continue to be neutral. I think it’s because a lot of them are in that higher tax bracket so they in secretly in favor of the legislation. Of course I’m specualting but I can’t see another reason why they wouldn’t call it out more.

It doesn't matter if it is true.

We are not suppose to point it out.

We aren't suppose to point out that he did nothing to the Wall Street thieves.

He didn't support or protect Occupy Wall Street.

He didn't support or protect The Keystone Pipeline protesters. A private security company

unleashed their dogs on Native Americans. Nothing happened. There was video. Didn't matter.

And all those things you pointed out are my reasons why I don’t hold him in the highest regard.

I wish more people had been paying attention to how Republicans governed at the state level because that should have been a wake up call in 2016 that the whole country would be subjected to this awfulness if people voted for the Republicans. States are often used as laboratories for policies that are later implemented at the federal level.
