In other words, you have no basis whatsoever to claim that liberals are more generous, but you just can't bear to say it out loud.' "How does the increase in take home pay affect tax deductions for charitable giving?" Increases in take-home pay give us more disposable income with which to make donations. Is that really going too fast for you. Pete, here is every single post you have ever made, boiled down to this... liberal=good, conservative=bad. I wonder what you'd say about why the state of CT is going bankrupt. |

No I do not understand that, because it's absolutely false. There is a huge difference between a tax credit and a deduction. You are confusing the two. If I donate $100 to charity, and I am able to deduct that $100 from my taxable income, and I'm in a 25% tax bracket, that means I get $25 back. I do not, not even close, get the whole $100 back. Deductions do not, not even close, restore your full disposable income. Deductions reduce the amount by which your disposable income decreases. Deductions do not make it 'free' to donate to charity. The tax cuts give most of us more take-home pay. Many of us will give some of that to charity. Take accounting 101. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction is taxes owed. A deduction reduces your tax liability by pennies on the dollar, not dollar for dollar. |

Just saw a report that the Mexican government has been passing out flyers and announcing by bull horn to the caravan that the US has the military at the border and they will not be allowing anyone to enter. Also mentioned that the number has dropped from 7000-4000 (est).

I should have written: You do understand that deductions for charitable giving can increase the amount you can give, dependent on your tax situation, without affecting your spendable income. Why would you think that I would endorse that? |

Any your's and my donations can't make up for what the govern. does. Fact is that the conserv. policies always try to cut back on spending to the poor. Shows their lack of empathy. Both Tillerson and G. Cohen said that Trump has no empathy (and pity) and Trump pretty much owns the R party now. And you always complain that the Ds. ripped Romney apart. They did - bc he said he didn't have to worry about 47% of the country (shows his lack of empathy although I don't want to put him in the category as Trump). If Obama said he didn't care about almost 50% of the country you would have posted that 500 times. |

Why take out church donations, much of which goes to help the poor? Can't imagine why you'd suggest to ignore that.. "They did - bc he said he didn't have to worry about 47% of the country " He absolutely deserved criticism for that. I have no problem with fair criticism, as long as you also give credit where credit is due. There are many, many examples of Romney's empathy and generosity. The media also called him a sexist because he had women's resumes in a binder. That was asinine. But that is what CNN did, and it was a joke. |

This person is not a citizen, but they take very good paying jobs away from Americans If they were coming here to provide menial labor we won’t give them a visa because some Americans claim that they are taking jobs away from low income Americans but it’s acceptable if they make millions? Why is that acceptable? Americans don’t want or can’t do those jobs? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Why do you think I can’t say Illegal
Illegal Illegal Illegal Illegal A well thought out immigration policy and help for the people outside our borders who live in countries that have horrible issues is the solution to illegal immigration People with hope don’t leave home. They might go and work elsewhere but their goal is to be at home with their relatives and friends. Is that so different than yours? We need to enable those countries to succeed and make it a win win situation. Help businesses in Central America replace businesses that make things we import from the Far East could be a start Perhaps if Trump had gone to the Central American Summit and said: Let’s work together to solve these issues that affect us both, we could move forward Read a little history and see what put Central America where it is today We should help Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Every action has an affect on other things and that’s why governing is hard. All those policies can be as harsh as the Constitution allows and we could build a wall People will come as long as they perceive that they have an opportunity for a better life Someone will fill the vacuum in those countries and the Chinese are willing to assume that role in the world including Central America Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
No doubt some on this forum will consider this guy a crazy black nut job. But he makes some interesting analogies.

Pro Legal Immigration
Against Illegal Immigration Common denominator? Whether or not it is legal. Legal is the baseline. You want to allow more immigrants? Stop the illegal and make the legal more efficient and less burdensome. BTW - stop the illegal immigration and I am all OK with expanding the legal immigration.Expand the asylum seekers, and refugees. But you have to stop the illegal immigration first, and reverse those that did not come here illegally. |

Seems the bomber and synagogue shooter has disrupted his message Trump tweet “Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this ‘Bomb’ stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows — news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!” Trump’s allies had been speculating without evidence that the failed bombings — which exclusively targeted Trump antagonists — were actually part of a “false flag” leftist plot to make Republicans look unhinged. US sends thousands of troops to border 1 week before the primaries along with this new conference This is what a false flag operation looks like this one is in plain view ^^^^^ |
