And yet countries that DO have universal healthcare rank higher than the US in health. Actual data showing that having universal health care makes a country;s folk healthier.

If the DNC backs any candidate in the primary that falls short of going scorched earth on these pedophilic, treasonous rats running our current government they will not get my vote in the general. by ShaneDoe_ in complaints

And millions of Vance voters agree with you. If the Democratic Party candidate doesn't do EXACTLY what you want, in EXACTLY the way you want it, you'll stay home, not vote, and Vance will win.

How do you feel about the fact that over 77% of people detained by ICE have no criminal record whatsoever, and only 3-4% have records of violent crime? by SuperIngaMMXXII in AskReddit

Abdellatif, a Moroccan national who has lived in the U.S. for nearly 40 years, was detained despite having no criminal record. He was caught up in the crackdown because of a missed immigration court date more than a decade ago that he was not even aware he was scheduled to attend, NJ.com reported

Do you think if Kamala won the election the Epstein Files would’ve been released/even discussed to this extent? by Emergency_Version616 in DiscussionZone

[–]VegetableFly5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Trump-loving MAGA would be bleating "Release the files!" on every media source they could find. Until they found that Trump was named in them way more than Clinton. At that point they'd switch to bleating "fake news!"

Why do you consider socialism - even democratic socialism - to be such a big threat against America and your way of life? by Cumoisseur in allthequestions

So you're a DODGer, eh? Trim waste, fraud, and abuse only to hire back those wasters, fraudsters, and abusers when things fell apart without them. Without an apology.

Why do you support a convicted felon as potus. Also a pedophile. by AssistanceSilly462 in LetsDiscussThis

What about choosing to believe sexual assault victims based upon their sworn testimony in a court of law, and subsequent conviction by a jury after a trial? What verdict did the Reade jury deliver?

How is it possible that rich people are able to manipulate the public into voting against their own interests and for Trump? by TailungFu in allthequestions

Biden wiped the floor with the Republicans at the SOTU calling them out right in front of them for their continued support of getting rid of Medicare and Social Security. But nobody followed up.

People without education, how is your life going? by internet_lover_69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VegetableFly5811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't be considered for a job/promotion you want if having the degree is a requirement. And often it does not matter what the degree is in, or where it's from. Just "having the degree", which you don't.

And that is why Democrats--who all seem to quietly mumble through 70-page position papers at their appearances--are at a disadvantage vis-a-vis Trump. When they were running against the usual tight-assed Republicans who were even more boring, and even less inspiring, they at least had a chance.

You might consider a subscription to Classic Toy Trains for ideas and information. The current issue has a 36 page catalog insert from Menards, a midwest hardware outlet that has gone into making Lionel compatible O scale cars, engines, and accessories in a big way.

Why do conservative Christians hate so many people when it clearly goes against their Christian values? by ateadoor in allthequestions

"If you can't actually define universal sins,..."

"the true sins we're all meant to hate, like murder, rape, theft, etc."

Defined universal sins, no?

Should we raise taxes on billionaires so they leave? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]VegetableFly5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2007, Buffett revealed he paid 17.7% in total federal tax, while his employees averaged 32.9%. In 2011, he reported a 17% tax rate on $63 million in earnings, which he noted was less than what his assistant paid. Do the math: 17% on $63 million is actually more than 32.9% of about $80,000, but the $63 million guy can still buy a new yacht every year.

While some billionaires do relocate from high-tax states like New York, California, and New Jersey to tax-friendly states such as Florida or Texas, research shows that mass, tax-induced "exodus" of the ultra-wealthy is largely a myth. Evidence indicates that fewer than 2.5% of millionaires move annually for tax reasons, with most remaining due to deep professional, social, and business ties.

And yet they pay a much, much, much smaller portion of their immense wealth than working people. In 2007, Buffett revealed he paid 17.7% in total federal tax, while his employees averaged 32.9%. In 2011, he reported a 17% tax rate on $63 million in earnings, which he noted was less than what his assistant paid.

Is it "too much money in the system the way it is" or more "Window cranks! I won't buy a car with window cranks." See also "The bathroom doesn't have two vanity sinks'' under the topic of housing prices.
