We get a conservative pretending to be a centrist with the same talking points every week
I've done the back and forth a hundred times as have others here. It's not a fruitful endeavor as you will not say anything we haven't heard here many times and I will not say anything these fine people haven't seen me rant about many times
Also no need to defend your claim of being a centrist by saying you hate blah or blah to validate your claim, your short time here has resulted in plenty of posts to already validate mine
I'm glad Trump has made America great again for you
What a nonsensical post. If your entire point of responding to me was to say you aren't going to respond, why did you respond?
When I voted for Obama, believing he would uphold his campaign promises and make the country more prosperous, that was the standard I held him to. Here were the results:
1. I lost my insurance, and had to pay for something that cost 3x as much, and covered less.
2. My pay remained frozen, without a single raise, for years.
3. Both my federal and state taxes continued to rise, meaning I was actively making less.
4. I was constantly called names simply for being white, and told what trash I was.
So, I reviewed the policies of Clinton, realized, "Hey! It'll be more of the same. Yeah, nope. Let's see, Trump is a complete asshole. His policies though, are pretty moderate. He wants to increase some social programs, but that's okay. Hey, he wants to cut taxes and reduce business regulation to increase competition. Hmm... Well, the guy's a dickhole, and has lied plenty about his intentions before. But would I rather take a chance and vote for him, expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and knowing full well that Congress and the Courts will block him every step of the way if he tries to do anything truly ambitious? Sure!"
So, you want to attack me as some conservative. Yet if I am conservative, for believing that overwhelming regulation that completely stifles the market, and steadily increasing taxes while at the same time freezing the economy so there is no income raise is a bad thing, welp. You've just labeled the entire working and middle class as conservatives. Great job!
