I think it was Ron Paul who was pushing the FairTax a while back. I can see the Dems embracing that at some point, with a new name of course. Because that's the path to a VAT. They can't pay for all this by simply increasing taxes alone, they'll have to widen the tax base (and increase taxes).
It's going to be brutal, and we'll start seeing them chip away at it soon. The "Wall Street tax" - which, by the way, I think FairTax needed to tax financial transactions as well - has been talked about over in Europe, too, and I think it gains steam because it both sounds like soaking the rich, while subtly expanding into the middle class (but only those with enough savings to buy stocks). And climate change excise taxes on energy and property because, again, it's a form of consumption and wealth tax that will hit people with larger homes.
Huge tax increases on the middle class seem inevitable. Only question is how long before it happens. I'll peg it not as the next Dem POTUS, but the next one after that (so maybe 15-20 years).

That's another inconvenient truth.
The amount of police killed in the line of duty is about the same as the number of unarmed civilians killed each year. That data is not precise, but we are talking 100, at most, blacks wrongly killed by police each year. While that's tragic, it's a number that is literally not even significant enough to be considered "marginal". It is 100% the wrong tree to be barking up.

I had to google it and LOL. So, in an effort to rein in our war happy government (already at a yearly $700B budget), he wants to punish families without service members by fining them.

It’s a legit clown show. I refuse to watch the debates but it has to be great theater.

What the flying fuck?
So, he's going to punish families for something Congress and the POTUS do?
What's the professed justification?

The money will go to a veteran's "trust fund." Here is a better idea, how about not go to war?

Read again what I have typed. When you adjust for the fact that blacks commit more crimes and therefore are arrested more, white men are more likely or just as likely to get shot.
I was very clear.

Do blacks actually commit more crimes or do they just get arrested/prosecuted more often?
White dude rapes a girl and gets community service and they are worried about ruining his life. Black child takes a doll and police draw weapons on their parents. I can understand why someone might feel like the deck is stacked against them.

It’s not that hard to google FBI crime rates. They do commit more crimes. This is not really debatable.
Now, the reason why they do can be discussed in different thread I guess. I did read once (can’t remember where) that in the same socioeconomic stratifications blacks commit crimes at the same rate as whites, but I maybe dreaming that. So it could be due to socioeconomic reasons and not anything inherent. But the fact that blacks commit more crime is not really a debatable statistic, it’s factual information that is easily found anywhere.

Fucking aye.
Basically saying, "We in Washington are going to declare war. If your family isn't contributing manpower to the war effort, we're going to hold you financially responsible for the needs of veterans coming home."
How about you don't send them to war, Deputy Dipshit?

Hence my statement about a war tax. You can see it in his own words here

Getting caught and going to jail is not the same as committing a crime.
Sooo everyone is now agreeing their is a border crisis?
