But you're conflating several different topics that don't necessarily have a one-to-one correlation/causation. First, the cause of millions of people scraping to get by and the high child poverty rate (not sure what "high" means to you) is not those that are "rich". Nor is the answer to reduce the number of people scraping by and the high child poverty rate is to have the "rich" give more of their earnings to the poor or to have them pay more taxes.

So you think people that are "rich" (whatever rich means) should not save money to ensure financial stability in the future, both for themselves and their kids? Do you think they should have zero savings and any extra income should go to the "poor" (whatever poor means)? Also, provide the actual data for the "fact" that "the rich do NOT provide enough in taxes or charitable donations to help the poor...."

You started it...YOU provide the research and factual information to back up your claims.

LOL...I laughed out loud when the Viking dude claimed Rasta is repeating what he hears on Fox News!!

I don't give a s#$% if you think I am ignorant or if you feel sorry for me. A travel ban during a pandemic, like every other freaking country did, is proof that Trump is racist...got it! LOL Again, you keep inferring things in what I said. Stop claiming I said things that I never said, or claiming how I truly feel about things other than what I write. You'll never be able to take what people say for exactly what they say without interjecting some sort of weird boogeyman in your mind. Continuing to call people racist and bigots is cowardly and weak and says a lot more about you then it does the person who you are claiming to be a bigot or racist. No to mention, it waters down the things and people that are actually racist or bigoted, and it is pathetic and sad that you do that. Must be hard for you to get through life with thinking everyone you disagree with has some evil malicious ulterior motive including them being bigot's and racists...but you be you...

I heard they are calling for Becker's head over at Parkside.

So you can't name one thing...got it!

@ThreePointTakedown Clearly you don't like playing your own game. I answered all your questions and all you do is find reason for them to be "ignorant" or "racist"....funny part is I don't care if you do or don't. If someone comes here illegally they are an illegal immigrant...period. That is not racist...period. By the way please point out where II ever said they should be called illegal immigrants after they have come here legally?? You can't! Just like you can't show me any proof that Trump is in fact a bigot or racist...nor where he has indicated he doesn't want any immigration. You can't! Your schtick of babbling incoherently and calling everything you disagree with racist or ignorant is tiresome and worthless. Babble away...I am done playing your stupid game.

So you do realize that a lower percentage of a much higher number can equal more overall tax money, right?!?!

You do know how percentage of income works, right??

Can anyone explain what the definition of "is" is??

While completely laughable in her speaking abilities...which is okay...a lot of people are not good public speakers and she is definitely one of those people. But please tell us one thing she has done as VP...just one.

You sure don't know the definition of concise do you? Responses above in red.

Sounds like Kamala and other politicians want to decriminalize prostitution...thoughts on that?

I took/take it as lighthearted jabs. Just trying to give it back to you about you taking "issue" with the "issue" I infused into the conversation when responding to the John Hopkins tuition article.

Can't argue this point...and I am not a fan of the Brands.

Yep...and took you just as much time to type out your hypothetical issue with my post. just sayin....

Wow...I can't stand the utter arrogant hypocrisy of your posts...man...you are a true whackadoodle. You, of ALL people, should never, EVER, lecture someone on how to post nor tell them to "get off their high horse" and "stop judging". These posts are exactly why EVERONE thinks you are a freaking clown of a poster.

That is great that the standards haven't been lowered. Sorry I didn't do in-depth research into the John Hopkins admission and graduation standards before posting. I was stating an opinion like I assume you were looking for...my bad for assuming. By the way I wasn't just talking about John Hopkins...I was talking about the lowering of standards over-all as that seems to be happening more and more lately...and not just in the medical field.

I'll play your game. What percentage of people coming across the border claim asylum? Are they instantly considered "legal" at that point? Is there, or should there be a vetting process to determine legality of their crossing? Can claiming "asylum" ever be disproven? Does the word "illegal" really bother you that much? What racists remarks were made by "a moron at 1600"? Be specific and prove why they are racists. Why wouldn't they all be characterized as "illegals" when in fact they are until vetted...no? How is it un-empathetic to make sure everyone is vetted before being let into the country? Have you asked those people if they feel bad because of a word? Where does the word "quasi-isolationist" come from?? What is wrong with America First?? Do you not want to make America First? Isn't letting people come here LEGALLY not one of the things that make America a great country? Who on here is against letting people come here LEGALLY? Do you want open borders? For all? Just specific groups? Do you think what is going on now is okay and is sustainable? Does your last two sentences have any basis in reality other than in your fragile mind?

Hmmmm...that is interesting. I guess I don't have a problem with a private donor asking the money to be spent a certain way and paying for medical school for some isn't in of itself "bad". Also, can applaud trying to give opportunities for those that may not have the financial means to go to school; however, and it is a BIG however, I do have a problem if the standards to get into medical school and to earn a medical degree are lowered. Not saying the article said that, but just making a comment in relation to the article. And not trying to hijack your thread Rasta.

LOL...I was literally going to type this very thing.

I'd be inclined to agree with some of these concepts other than the use of the "deep end" and "radically". Things do and always have shifted a little left or a little right. But in recent times with the evolution of social media people tend to use the extremes to describe what is happening...we are neither "radically" right, nor "radically" left on things. However, those that are in fact off the "deep end" right or left tend to be the ones that get the most airtime when in fact the majority of the people and government is close to the middle ideologically. Anyway, if Biden/Harris get elected the US isn't "doomed" and vice versa, if Trump is elected the US isn't doomed either. My personally opinion is that while I dislike Trump, I'd be WAY more worried if Biden/Harris got re-elected just based on the fact that Harris will end up leading the US and I have never once seen or heard about anything she done for the country as the VP. And when I say "worried" I don't mean the US will be destroyed, but rather the policies, or lack thereof, will be things I probably don't agree with, and there will be even more divisiveness in the country. Just one poor mans opinion.

LOL...wow...you do realize I was not the one discussing the county being locked down forever, right?!?! Or is it just your schtick of knowing, once again, you are wrong and when called out on it you deflect by arguing someone else's point with me? Admit you were wrong and move on...you continually embarrass yourself.

If you go to one of the military academies, I am pretty sure you have to go in for four years after graduation and if you don't you have to pay back your tuition. Would be interesting to see who actually pays their tuition at these other non-academy schools
