You know what those CO2 'rules' are, SECOND? You know what those 'agreements' are, SECOND? Toilet paper. But less useful. Cosmetic words meant to cover over inaction.

When OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS had control of the White House and Congress, and they could pass LAWS that came with the power of enforcement, what did they do about global warming?

Tell me, SECOND. What did they do?

And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

Like all Republicans I know, you are hypersensitive about your honor. That's why you got all puffed up, then responded with your "ONE" when you got called a "hypocrite". You've said you were an independent. You're not. You are exactly like every Republican I know. They claim they are Independent, making up their own mind, because they have some little quibbles with certain minor details of the Republican Party platform or some detail of Trump's tweets. Details that even the GOP and Trump aren't really going to make reality, details they talk about, but are not sincere about. It's all empty talk. Nothing solid that you can depend upon. It's as if you so-called Independents are human-shaped gas bags that Trump inflates with his hot-air rhetoric. As soon as he stops blowing hard, you collapse back into a sad empty sack of air. You've got no backbone, no skeleton, no guts, no higher goals. Please get some, for your own good, and stop being an "Independent". Pick a side, act like it means something. To quote Book's dying words to Mal: "I don't care what you believe! Just... believe it. Whatever you have to..." Do you remember what happened for the rest of the movie? Mal finally stopped being blown around like a sailboat without a rudder.

Look, genius 6ixStringJack, there are only two sides. There are no third parties to come to the rescue because the way the Constitution was written has made it inevitable that there will only be two major parties. Pick a side or be as irrelevant as a child who can't vote or an adult who votes for the Green Party.

6ix, you and Trump voters in general are not doing fine. In particular, you have written a million words about yourself and "fine" does not describe what you, or Trump, or his voters, are doing. That's what you and Trump have in common, you won't stop talking about yourself long enough to fix the mess you made:

Now imagine cutting t; the figure shows a complete elimination of corporate taxes, but the logic is the same for simply reducing the rate. This should lead to inflows of capital from abroad, increasing the capital stock, which both raises GDP and reduces the rate of return. In the end the after-tax return on capital should be back where it started, with all of the tax cut passed through to wages instead.

The crucial point, however, is that for this to happen you have to have a large increase in the physical stock of capital - it’s not an immaculate financial transaction. This in turn means that those inflows of capital have to enable a massive wave of real investment in plant and equipment. That doesn’t necessarily mean directly importing machinery; it could mean importing consumer goods or exporting less stuff of our own, either way freeing up resources for producing capital goods here at home. But the logic of the pro-tax cut case depends on the cut facilitating a period of large trade deficits. (I don’t think anyone told Trump about this.)

Quote:

On its face, a corporate tax cut looks like a big giveaway to stockholders. Proponents of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act claimed that this was misleading, because large capital inflows would ensure that the cut went to workers instead. But there’s no sign of those big inflows, so what looks like a big giveaway to stockholders is, in fact, a big giveaway to stockholders.

And about 35 percent of that giveaway is to foreigners, so the tax cut makes America as a whole poorer.

You are betting your life by not having health insurance. Does it need more explanation that if you lose that bet you are dead? The best of luck with your gamble. I wish you good health.

I know people who have not paid their property taxes in ten years and Harris County has not foreclosed upon them. I know people who did not pay for health insurance and they are dead. Dead is worse than being foreclosed on, in my opinion, but if you think death is not that big a deal while on the other hand being foreclosed on is the End of the World, well, go ahead and not buy health insurance. It’s your decision. At least you still have your enormous pride in your home, 6ixStringJack, when you are dead. Are you comforted by that thought?

From Trump voters I have heard that delusion about hospitals and emergencies before. But I also heard real stories from people about their fathers without insurance being sent away without treatment then dying in the hospital parking lot. But that is Texas.

Really, Signym? 35% of all stock is owned by foreigners and they get 35% of Trump's tax cut. That's easy to understand. The stock that is owned by Americans, 84% of it is owned by wealthy Americans. If it had been expressed as 84%*(100%-35%)=.84*.65= 54.6% you would have missed the idea that wealthy Americans own far, far more stock than middle-class and poor Americans. Wealthy Americans get far, far more of Trump's tax cut. The whole point of the article is to get you engaged with how the economy actually works and to knockdown Trump's dumbed-down, and false, version for GOP voters.

What are you suppose to learn? That your judgment is no damn good. Good luck with the rest of your life, and that applies to the 42% of Americans who still approve of Trump, because you people are going to need luck if you can't understand how Trump is screwing you. You will be so very lucky if you don't get screwed by a hundred other American con-men in the same way Trump is cheating you.

"There's a sucker/Trump-voter born every minute" -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_a_sucker_born_every_minute

Trump is not America’s first showman turned politician.

One Trump role model, the 19th-century entrepreneurial egotist P.T. Barnum, parlayed his fame as a bigmouth impresario into actual political power, serving two terms in the Connecticut legislature and one term as the mayor of Bridgeport. Having labeled himself “a bit of a P.T. Barnum, I make stars out of everyone,” Trump should learn from his self-promoting predecessor. For all his shenanigans as the ultimate flimflam man, Phineas T. Barnum was one classy, downright idealistic, politician.
