Please give me the names of two or three socialist countries that arent on the verge of insolvency and afford the underprivileged better circumstances than the United States.

If you have a crook atop the all inclusive police department of Orange, Pt. Arthur, Beaumont, Groves, Pt. Neches, Nederland, Lumberton, Silsbee, Sour Lake, then the entire law enforcement agency of the area is impacted. If you have, as you do now, separate agencies, a single bad guy has considerably less impact.

Hmmm- Sounds to me like you want one police department and a single payer healthcare plan. But, of course, you are a CENTRIST!!!!

That's what is always uttered by a big government guy. There is only one IRS but it didnt stop Lois Lerner

How on earth has this country survived all of these years? Does the bias/prejudice of which you speak happen only in this country or in every other country? Do the white guys with bald heads and the young blacks hanging around your corner have those same judgmental tendencies to which you refer or are the only guilty ones Caucasian Christians?

The left is in love with diversity in terms of ethnicity, skin color, and sexual orientation but absolutely DESPISES any diversity in terms of opposing ideas/values. So interesting for that to take place within the party of "tolerance" and "civility"

Obamacare is simply a poorly veiled version of free stuff for a few at the expense of many

Free stuff is a major contributor to the lack of growth in this "recovery" that has been going on for a long time. Diverting too much of assets of the private sector to the government sector is anti- growth and the numbers have been validating that theory for some time

Here are words issued today by one of the nations leading economists: President-elect Trump wants a Race Horse Economy, not a continuation of the Plow Horse we've had for the past several years. Out of all of his proposals, the one that should help the economy the most is corporate tax reform, in particular a big cut in the tax rate on profits to 15% or 20% from 35% at present. Typically, corporate profits are subject to two layers of tax: first, when the company earns the money; second, when that same money flows to shareholders in the form of dividends or capital gains. So, for example, a dollar of pre-tax profits is reduced to 65 cents at the corporate level and then 49.5 cents if the profits are distributed to high-earning taxpayers. (The 65 cents are taxed at a 23.8% rate, including the Obamacare-surcharge.) In effect, these earnings face an effective tax rate of just over 50% (not even considering state income taxes), likely on the wrong side of the Laffer Curve. In addition, cutting the top tax rate on regular income should help spur economic growth, as many entrepreneurs and partnerships face very high tax rates as well. Lower tax rates will support a game-changing build-out of domestic energy infrastructure. But tax policy isn't the only fiscal game in town. Investors need to watch government spending as well. Cutting taxes without getting control of government spending is not a recipe for long-term economic growth. Instead, reducing spending will help entrench expectations that lower tax rates would remain in place. Every dollar the government spends ultimately has to be paid for by taxpayers, either through taxes today or debt, which simply obligates future taxpayers to make payments to bondholders. Either way, there's no free lunch. Spending hit a 30+ year low in 2000 at 17.6% of GDP. Now federal spending is at 20.9% (and that doesn't include how Obamacare shifts public spending to private insurers, the true cost of student loans, but does include payments from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). We see the heavier load of government as the overweight jockey weighing down the private sector, preventing it from moving faster. In the next year or so, we'll be looking for entitlement reforms that reduce long-term spending commitments in Obamacare and Medicaid as well as reductions in non-defense "discretionary" spending. Back in the 1980s, President Reagan not only cut taxes but cut spending relative to GDP as well. President Clinton also cut spending. By contrast, spending went up during the presidencies of both Bushes and under President Obama as well. So far, President-elect Trump has talked a good game on taxes but has been sending mixed signals on spending. Investors need to pay attention to both.

And you can bet that there are a number of small businesses that will open that otherwise wouldn't have if Trump had not been elected. They are, of course, acting in anticipation of lower taxes and regulatory relief.

Well, Remmus Centrist, what say you?

I need some sleep. Gonna check with Sean Hannity and see if its ok to go to bed. See you tomorrow.

How did that happen? I am confident you are not considering the input of those of lesser intellect who do not even realize they are incapable of independent thought and serve at the pleasure of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

No doubt you will go the distance because you are armed with the truth and complete enlightenment thus rendering the rest of us servile minions impotent. How foolish of the common folk to believe that their opinion just might be as valid and credible as yours. Our nescience abounds.

Like Keith Ellison?

Lets see- this is where I am supposed to use the Heritage foundation equivalent response, I guess

If you say they do, I expect it to be on television shortly because you never misrepresent anything and only you are capable of independent thought while the rest of us are nothing but pawns ( unless, of course, we voted for Hillary)

Once you get this valuable information out to everyone, the dems will have full control of every political office. Just wait till all those folks in the heartland find out they have been totally manipulated and had no idea what hit them.

Find a quote from me where I said anything about liberals bringing up the past. That statement has less credibility than the " Michael Brown alternative report" did.

They are gonna win because they are purveyors of the truth.

That was my point but I think he failed to grasp that one.

And remember this, Anthony Weiner is 100% innocent - those damn republicans manipulated everyone into thinking he was guilty. And Bill Clinton actually " did not have sex with that woman". First time I heard that was from Bill O'Reilly- Had no idea at the time that I was being manipulated.

Furthermore, Mr. Obama never promised us a $2500 annual healthcare premium reduction for the average family and there was not one smidgen of impropriety within the IRS. You and I were dumb enough to fall for that stuff because Rush said so and we automatically accept everything he says as the gospel. Additionally, Michael Brown was innocent and was the victim of a racist cop out hunting down innocent black people to shoot. TIme is getting short, we only have 18 days to enjoy the fruits of the most transparent administration in history.
