Staying at a prime hotel, even if it's only because it belongs to a sitting president, is NOT "funneling" money to that president. The customers are paying for a service... if they choose to use the service the president's company provides, that's on them. I do not like any politician...

I really wish you would stop with the self-righteous "you need to pray" silliness.... you are not my spiritual advisor, I certainly don't need any suggestions from you of how to improve my walk with Jesus... so just stop it. What I disagree with is your targeting of Trump for making money as...

I'm not sure I do agree.... that hotel is apparently THE hotel to hold meetings at.... extremely luxurious. Would you tell the visiting leaders of the UAE to go stay at a Holiday Inn? The way I understand it, Trump backed away from the operations, and his sons ran the businesses while he...

Where are you on the Bidens' millions that they have received from Ukraine and China? You ok with that?

Well, yeah.... but I'm thinking of all the other poor non-Texans... :ROFL:

Sometimes, we don't vote for something, we vote against the horrible alternative. The only thing you get from riding the fence is a sore crotch..... and in this case, a Marxist in the White House.

Oh, and Trump did NOT "make millions" in office... in fact, he likely lost money. I know that he did not take his salary... he donated it to charity. You are thinking of the Obamas and the Clintons.. and Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.... THEY are the ones that have spent a lifetime in...

Basic civics stuff.... the electoral college does not "pick" or "choose" the president. The electors vote the way their state voted. If the majority of the state chooses Trump, then all of that state's electoral votes go for Trump. Electors can choose to vote for someone other than who...

So, from this, I infer that you NEVER vote for anyone for president? Correct?

Yes.... it doesn't "seem" that their presence stopped the shooter, they ABSOLUTELY stopped the shooter from having a much, much higher death count. If those two had not been there, this could have been disastrous.... much much worse than the tragedy it was. The old saying, a good guy with...

Where did you hear/read about this? I have never heard it...

hornetguy, thats what happened Boris Johnson did when the uk left the European union (brexit) it was terrible. the food prices jumped. the cost went on the consumer. It was hard to get products from other countries when you dont have a trade deal. Imagine you own a store in the uk and...

I also wonder if Singapore has a "welfare class".... I imagine a huge portion of our taxes go for just that...

I have never heard "the GOP" tell anyone they are going to become fabulously wealthy. All I've heard them say is that you, me, all the working folks should be able to keep more of the money we earn... from tax cuts. The reason for charging large corporations a low tax rate, or even in some...

Moderately out of context... I think that is talking about our abilities and talents.. not necessarily our monetary wealth... although it could be applied to that... But I don't think God is telling us to go make millions of dollars simply to give it all to the government. Give it to the...

I appreciate your thoughtful response.. but we simply disagree on this. Penalizing someone for "being successful" is a terrible way to encourage investments and growth of an economy... It would be the same as putting a cap on how much a doctor could earn.... what is the incentive to spend...

ahh... you should do so.... Chicago is a happy, funny, "bouncy" sort of musical, with surprisingly good performances from all the cast... Queen Latifah as "Big Momma"... it's just a wonderful movie Les Miserables is much like what you described in "Phantom...." who knew that Anne Hathaway...

And you think that is "fair" ? Taxing someone on what they COULD make, possibly, if they choose to sell? Basically taxing someone for OWNING something that they have likely already paid taxes on? If it increases in value because of a wise investment, you have to pay taxes on it, just because...

I apologize, but that line is simply side-splitting hilarious.... devout Catholics, indeed.

I agree.... I would like to know what @ResidentAlien suggests as a solution... or at least a start towards a solution... ? I hear people all the time saying "we need to DO something".... without offering a viable solution. I offered a start at a solution in my previous post...
