How to shut down your Trump-supporting family member at Thanksgiving dinner

I believe the only time we had an income tax previously was to sponsor WW1. That was hardly routine.
The tariff info is widely available and doing your homework won't change anything.
I think someone else needs to do his homework. Since Abe Lincoln used an income tax to pay for the civil war. But hey he instituted an income tax during that time, so he was a terrible president.
As far as the income tax of the 1910's, no I don't think that percentage would be fair, we have to pay for all the spending the people you keep putting into office.
 
All the cable "news" networks have opinion shows that aren't news. The difference between them is how much opinion is allowed in the actual news segments but you are correct that A person shouldn't need a network to tell them what to think.
Trump was elected because people had seen enough of the liberal attempts to take over what we can buy, use, and say.
No one who is serious thinks we are hanging by a perilous thread if we don't adopt "green" policy. Most don't think guns are the problem. Most don't think abortion is restricted too much. Most don't think we need open borders. Most don't want to be told America is the problem. Trump was just the first person they believed would actually try to do what he said......and he has.

Abortion restrictions - false

Guns are not the problem - false If most of Americans think we need restrictions to stop gun violence they are saying they are the problem, at least part of it.

How can you be so arrogant and condescending while being wrong so much?

So what exactly are you suggesting we do about gun violence? Take away every gun?
 
I didn't suggest anything to do about gun violence. But like most people according to the polls we need to do more. Start with background checks and ban assault weapons. Before 04 we didn't have a huge need for them, but now that we have them, several think they need one. Just more guns everywhere.

Everyone, on both sides of the isle, want and agree on that.
 
The same reason bills like USMCA have not been passed. We are wasting valuable time and resources trying to impeach the president.

wrong. Repubs don’t like some major portions of the USMCA because they hate workers. Not relevant to impeachment.

I knew it was for war purposes and yes it was the civil war not ww1. Sue me, the point is the same.
 
If GUNS were not the problem there would be NO reason for gun control.

There is no need for gun control.

In places that severely restrict or outlaw guns, the violent crime and murder rate don't drop, they just find different tools to carry out the crimes with.

News flash knives don't kill 50+ concert goers from a hotel window in Las Vegas.

Take away guns and the violent crime rate/murder rate doesn't change.

Trying to ban guns because of an aberration is ridiculous, it's an appeal to emotion. Attacks like Vegas account for less than 1% of all gun deaths, not saying that makes them ok, but the reality is people will die at the same rate with or without guns.

And people know that. They know GUNS aren't the problem. The problems are numerous in gun violence but guns isn't one of them.

Then why don't you just post it so dummies like me can be more informed. YOU put it out there but you still won't tell me what the tariffs were on or who had to pay them.

I'm trying to show you how to not rely on CNN. It's probably hopeless but I know you can do it!
You put stuff out there all the time without supporting it. Why is is required for me? Nevertheless, i'll enable your laziness/ignorance.

Outstanding job. But they still had taxes on that list regardless of what kind they. It also explained that the government had much less to spend money on. Do you think our gubmint /country would survive without income taxes now?

Why does the government need more to spend money on today? There are only 2 things we NEED to spend money on as a country......Debt payment and Defense (includes border).

I guess you don't drive on the roads or or use any anything federal money has built? It said in the thang YOU posted they didn't have much to spend money on back in the day. We have a little more infrastructure since then too. I guess you figure everything would be hunky dory without that. YOU might want to live in the dark ages, most of us do not.
