I'm glad you know me... It's not that I dislike schillary which I do, but Socialism Failed and does NOT belong in America. Americans LEFT ENGLAND and came here to have freedom from GOV. We do NOT need MORE GOV controlling our lives. Policies making people rich... what capitalism? You mean I have the right to be a Millionaire and choose to do what I want with my money?
It is not that I think trump is the best candidate, but he is 100xs better than what else is available. a vote for anyone other than trump is voting for schillary and more failed policies more debt, bigger gov.
Obama raised the National Debt 5 trillion dollars, more than any other president. Jailary will do the same. Do you not understand that Money doesn't grow on trees? Liberals and sharing our wealth is the dumbest idea known to man.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no... one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Okay, let's start with the most obvious point. People who constantly cry socialism, are idiots. Socialism has been proven to work in multiple countries around the world. That being said, I don't particularly like Socialism, because it does as a whole go against who we're as a nation. However, I did not vote for a socialist candidate, and anyone who believes Hilary to be one is an idiot.
You talk about failed policies as if they'd actually been tried. When in your lifetime have we ever tried to offer an education to our less fortunate? Around the world, countries with a higher general level of education tend to do better in all facets of life. Offering to make school affordable and give everyone a chance would be a massive victory for out country. All Trump has proposed is a mash up of the worst things about the Bush and Reagan administrations. Yes, more tax cuts for the super wealthy and a belief that somehow giving rich people money will benefit the middle-class. Guess what? The rich didn't get rich by giving away their money and allowing the gap between the poor and rich to widen has proven to fail... or did you not learn about the great depression?
People who constantly talk about our growing debt are also a few crayons short of a box if you catch my drift. The biggest and easiest solution to SLOWLY fixing our debt, is to decrease military spending tenfold. Things like SS and Welfare are not going away anytime soon and the amount of money from stopping a program like welfare, would be laughable in comparison to what you could save by decreasing the military.
I did enjoy your little anecdote, retarded as it may be, it was at least amusing. It's proposal that was butchered by the Republican party is now their go to argument on why Democrats are bad for the country. Yes, the Affordable Care Act is a joke, they should have insisted on a full measure or nothing at all, not this broken down piece of shit we finally managed to get through. However, Republicans complaining constantly about the Affordable Care Act is pretty much the equivalent of hiring someone to build a house, burning it down, and then blaming the builders for it going up in flames so easily.
Trump's idea of keeping the peace is just spouting "Law and order" over and over again without having any fucking idea what he's talking about. He plans to build a wall to keep people out, even though it's been proven that only a minute percentage of illegal immigrants who stay in the US come through the border. The man hasn't proposed a single feasible policy and literally every policy he has talked about, would directly benefit him... Don't you think there might be a bit of conflict there? Simply put, Trump's policies and his hate speech are unamerican and he is without a doubt the most unamerican candidate in history. From belittling entire races of people based on bullshit. White people have more serial killers than any other race by a fuck ton and yet, we don't treat all white people like they're going to murder us and wear our faces. Being cautious is good, and I am all for a more rigorous screening process on people coming into the states. Closing our borders is not the answer though, 99% of us wouldn't be here if any jackass would have tried to do that 100 years ago.
Trump is comically unprepared and uninformed. He's incapable of understanding how a trade deficit works, he believes he can actually force foreign nations to pay for American luxuries and that he can set the trade rules to whatever he wants. It's laughable really that this failure of a businessman thinks he has the ability to push around other countries because he was able to turn a profit after being given multiple handouts. Guess what, you shit the bed with an entire country, you don't just get a fucking mulligan and so far, that seems to be what Trump is all about.
Finally, let's take a look into the man himself. We've got your textbook example of a spoiled brat who was never told no in his entire life. He lies about his worth, he lies about how he obtained his worth, he steals from people less fortunate with no notion of regret, he's got by far the worst temperament of any candidate in modern history (which includes throwing temper tantrums and crying about how unfair the world is when he loses), and all of that on top of the steaming pile of misogynistic bigoted trash he is . It's baffling to me that anyone with an IQ over 70 can still be supporting this buffoon? Trump supporters like him because he tells it like it is, and he's one of the best business men in the entire world. Why don't we take a look at that. Trump actually has been proven to lie more than any other presidential candidate in history during his campaign. He's also not a brilliant businessman, had he invested his money he was given (not earned, just his given money), he would have a larger fortune than the one he currently has. It's easy enough to get rich when every time you go bust you've got daddy and his friends to put a couple more hundred million in your pocket.

I'm not proud to admit voting for Hillary, it's actually kind of embarassing but it's a no brainer. Don't regret voting for her.
I don't really care what people think and I've never been felt any sort of pride when voting. I can only assess the situation and vote for who I feel will fuck my life up the least.
