    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    I would be willing to bet most of those savings are due to liability insurance, licenses and office space. I could be wrong though. I am also not making a claim that there wouldn't be any decrease but I simply can not believe that most large corporations are going to pass those savings to the...

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    I am not opposed to any C-Corp tax break but I reject going from 39% to 15% while the middle and lower get little to nothing.

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    To an extent yes. Regardless it has nothing to do with lowers consumer good prices. We also take into account that greed doesn't creep in again and we have yet another financial collapse, wiping out companies, their employees and all their retirements while those responsible get free passes.

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    but only if a Republican is in office according to your logic. MSNBC and CNN are killing it right now. Since 90% of the media is, according to you, owned by the liberals, they are really going to hate it when Trump gets himself kicked out in 2020.

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    This dream you have where corporations take care of consumers who are already buying at current prices due to low unemployment is just that.. a dream. What they will do with those tax breaks is take care of themselves and their shareholders. You can see this time and time again. The Bush tax...

    Possibly so but I think that influence without the backing of huge money will be greatly reduced now thanks to new media such as the internet.

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    Can you please provide me a source for your claim that liberals, your favorite generic term for anyone that disagrees with you, own 90% of the media? Are you implying that since 90% of the media profits off of news, specifically negative news, that 90% of the media favors a Republican candidate...

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    I get what you are saying but still feel what I am saying will result in that inordinate influence being greatly diminished. The reason they have that influence is because of money. You take away their money and their ability to fund politicians and that will do damage to their influence. When...

    2017: Terror Attack Attempted in Europe Every Nine Days

    Then why did you word it the way you did in your original post? Your analogy is your original post and it says literally that above! I can only go on what you post and that is what you said. My comment regarding the article stands, regardless of your inaccurate comment about Trump then. That...

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    What you don't understand is that if you take away the medias ability to profit off of politics, for example by preventing them from buying politicians, then you take away their power. The media is as rich and powerful as they are today because politicians are allowed to take their money. How...

    2017: Terror Attack Attempted in Europe Every Nine Days

    If not you then it was applied Trump was attacked for it. I think it is reasonable to "attack" a President for wanting to halt immigration based on the above data presented. Especially considering his rhetoric while campaigning about wanting a Muslim ban. You are correct in that you did not out...

    2017: Terror Attack Attempted in Europe Every Nine Days

    Recalls and defects account for very little of deaths. Nice try though.

    2017: Terror Attack Attempted in Europe Every Nine Days

    The irrational fear is that an attempted attack every 9 days should be cause for extreme alarm such as completely halting immigration which is what he mentioned. Under that thought process we should ground all vehicles. Do you have a different interpretation on why he would quote that article...

    Ok, then how do you think that the media would continue to fund politicians and political parties if corporations are limited to what individual citizens can contribute to political parties?

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    Then simply stop. My only point in this whole conversation with you is what I said. If you disagree with it fine. If you take away Super Pacs and prevent corporations from funding them then you also at the same time take away the medias ability to fund political parties and politicians. It is...

    2017: Terror Attack Attempted in Europe Every Nine Days

    You assumed I was downgrading their deaths which is a bit ridiculous to assume. Kind of sad that your first instinct is that I would do something like that. The point was that it is an irrational fear to be so consumed with worrying about terrorism when you grab your keys and get in your car...

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    I did read your posts and I still don't understand how you believe that media is not a corporation. So why don't you take another approach to try to explain it or just give up? I am telling you I do not understand your point of view and your repeated replies like this are not helping me understand.

    There is no indication that corporations, if taxed at the current rate they have over the last 8 years would raise prices. There is no indication that once they get all of these tax breaks they are going to cut prices on consumer goods. In fact, time after time, large corporations have shown...

    Meet the Pastor Running as a Progressive Republican to Get Big Money Out of Politics

    Why don't you explain where I am going wrong then? That is the appropriate thing to do when you have someone that doesn't understand where you are coming from. It is a lot more beneficial to discussion than what you and @Revmitchell continue to do which is reply with non information posts about...

    I have no clue what your time on here has to do anything and I ask again for you to expand on your comment regarding me reading my posts? You obviously have an issue with me and its causing this thread to become something it isn't. Either take this privately with me or stop singling me out...
