+2 Trump logic: it's smart and okay to cheat the system if you're rich (cheat taxes), but you can't do that if you're poor. Build a wall!!!!! Amirite?

I almost agree. It is really that Trump took full advantage of laws, but if a poor person takes full advantage and uses the laws (welfare) to get ahead and feed her family, she is called a lazy so-and-so, but when a billionaire does the same (corporate subsidies and tax loopholes) he is called 'smart'. So he didn't so much as cheat as he did take advantage of the system that enable his behaviors. That's just a 'lazy' as the welfare dad who does the same thing.

Do all liberals have a problem with legal immigration? Why does a wall to stop illegal immigration threaten you all so much?

by Anonymous 7 years ago

because humans are dependent on each other so it's better to build bridges to facilitate that And it's dumb to build a wall and say "Mexico has to pay for the wall, too"

So there should be no immigration laws? I'm just wondering because every country I have traveled to has very serious immigration laws and enforce them. The talk of building a wall or a better fence has been going on for 20 years. Why has it now become racist when before it was just expensive?

That's true. The issue is mostly about money and security. I love your idealism, but that only works when all people have the same values.

There's good and bad everywhere Including within A wall isn't stopping that A wall is just making those who are within really upset and there goes the "divide and conquer" method

You don't even have to pay taxes if you are poor. 47% don't even have to pay any taxes. Trump has a point when he highlights the waste of tax payer money by the this government who has spent more than all the previous presidents combined. It feels like the waste is deliberate and perhaps Trump was "smart" to not waste his money in such a manner.

Its bad to cheat

He used legal means to not pay them, like write offs. Most taxes are unconstitutional anyway. Taxation is theft. Many taxes and licenses need to go.

While what he does is not illegal but it is reprehensible. Somehow it's OK to be a first class dick when it's "just business". There is little doubt that Trump is among the 3-6% of the population that lacks any form of empathy and while Hilary is of somewhat the same ilk Trump is far lower on the "human being" scale.
