lmao the taxes gained by bringing every other bracket up to 10% are immediately lost by dropping the $200-500k bracket down to 10%, and the losses are only compounded by reducing the even higher brackets down to 10%

how the gently caress is this not what dr. ben is getting crucified for? instead the media wants to spend several days arguing about whether or not he really did use his gifted hands to build egyptian granaries.

jeb will hold a press conference to lay out a scripted, epic put down that he'll blow in such a way as to embarrass himself, remind people of some horrible event in the W years and suck all the media attention away from carsons fibbing, causing jeb to cry and carson to ultimately snag the nom

that's still too much federal government. if you take the funding from cops and prisons and divert that into troops, they can just fill the other two roles

Politico pushing the narrative that Ben Carson is a big dumb baby using quotes from Christie and Huckabee.

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/chris-christie-ben-carson-215637

Too bad the main stage of the debate will be a massive hug box for Carson with the exception of Trump, and maybe Kasich.


EDIT: Ben Carson has a girlfriend, but she's in Canada.

"Obama didn't get vetted like this" is a pretty solid counter in the Team Rocket hugbox.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The polemic was so popular during the ancient era after the church was formed they thought all that nasty poo poo said about the Jews was legit instead of just sick nasty burns. When was the truth era?

Right, and 80% of federal revenues are derived from income and payroll taxes. The easiest way to raise taxes isn't to bankrupt the federal government; it's to increase the minimum wage. Higher wages means higher income and payroll tax revenues, as well as consumer discretionary spending, and in turn, higher revenues across all economic sectors. In states without income taxes, higher wages still means increased sales and property ownership.

But, but, then I won't be able to afford as many employees, until people start spending more, and I start marking more money :freep:

Rick Perry had back surgery about a month before the campaign season really began. If I remember correctly it was some sort of new experimental procedure. Either way, he was in a lot of pain, under the effects of pain medication or both during the debates.

Not to say I feel bad for him.
