Lol I will try it.

[Neoliberalnot]

Hear, hear.

The only answer I see, is reprograming the system so that it can NOT use fractions.
Other than that, record the live total voter tabulations at the main office, or as they come over the televised broadcast.
Then anytime you notice a total go DOWN instead of going up, make a note of the time, and have the funds to get a lawyer.
The "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and the DemocRATS are not going to give up power without pulling out ALL of their dirty tricks.

You are just repeating the same false argument that I already rebutted.

Don’t blame the doctor for saving only some of his patients - blame the desease.

Your view is borrowed straight from the leftist playbook.

The leftists know that whenever prosperity or liberty gains a foothold among men, it is easy to stir anger in others by pointing out that good fortune shines on some more than others - they can easily appeal to man’s tendency toward envy and resentment and make the false argument that for one to prosper, another must have been cheated.

But this is a false argument - it is only natural that some blades of grass grow faster than others - the only way equality is achieved for blades of grass is by the lawnmower’s blade - or in our case, by the taxman.

Are you sure you want that kind of equality?

Don’t blame the doctor for saving only some of his patients - blame the desease.

The disease is a GOP Establishment that raised taxes on middle class Americans in order to give away a massive tax break to corporations.

Your view is borrowed straight from the leftist playbook.

Please. I am no leftist. The truth of this garbage of a bill is what it is. For months, many of us on this board have warned that come election season, the Democrats won't even have to lie when making campaign commercials about this. The can play sad piano music in the background as a retired couple or a young family goes over papers with worried looks on their faces, and the narrator says that Republicans raised their taxes while the very wealthy and Trillion dollar corporations got a huge tax break.

The only muted effectiveness in their coming tactic is that the worst of the tax increases won't hit people until after the 2018 mid-terms. Many Americans (like myself) have taken some financial steps to thwart some IRS confiscation of our money - but that will only work for a short time.

These are pictures of ordinary, hard working Americans around the country who had to scramble (right after the holidays) to pre-pay thousands in property taxes before January 1st, so as to avoid having the IRS take even more of their money because of this tax bill.

And I already know your rebuttal to this: "Gee, they should blame their states for these taxes."

Look pal - they already know the state taxes them. What you fail to admit is that it was the Federal Government - the REPUBLICANS - who took away or capped deductions that had been in the tax code to prevent double taxation, and that change was specifically put into the bill to generate over a Trillion in revenue from the middle class to make up for the loss in revenue from corporations.

they can easily appeal to man’s tendency toward envy and resentment and make the false argument that for one to prosper, another must have been cheated. But this is a false argument

Good heavens! Look - do people on this board debate how ObamaCare has screwed them? Do people on this board show displeasure on how illegal immigration has ruined their emergency rooms and schools? Do people here talk about how crime has impacted them personally?

This tax bill SCREWS millions of us. But people like you not only don't want to admit that truth, you demand that the people getting shafted be happy about it.

Exactly - DESPERATE to choke off the communication channels.

Do you think without the internet most Americans would have ever seen Hillary go wobbly at the 9/11 commemoration? Cell phones are great, turning everyone into a “reporter” - but if those photos were kept from the internet you’d never know one of the candidates has some serious health problems.

“Please. I am no leftist.”

I’m not saying you are a leftist - I’m saying your class division argument is right out of the Leftist playbook.

When middle class conservatives like you start bitching about rich corporations getting all the tax breaks, it makes Leftists happy.

Just saying

I’m not saying you are a leftist - I’m saying your class division argument is right out of the Leftist playbook.

When the Republican party, that I have volunteered for, supported financially, and voted for throws me to the wolves and raises my taxes, it makes me unhappy.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

You have a point.

Also though people who work at Facebook see everything and can do what they want with the information.

[Menehune56]

Please explain to me why Facebook is so powerful. I really do not understand.

50% of the population is below median intelligence. There's a lot of numbskulls.
