We are..

Out of curiosity, I bit and looked up the "sources." I regret my decision.



Only a portion of that imaginary $4,000 is direct corporate subsidies, and another portion is their valuation of amount of overpricing and tax avoidance committed by corporations.

If you look at the link, they divide the direct corporate subsidies by the number of American families to get the supposed dollar value. They don't realize that corporations themselves pay income taxes, and corporations collectively pay more than triple the aggregate amount of federal direct subsidies given to them.

The major reason for both corporate subsidies and tax avoidance is because the American corporate income tax rate is among the highest in the world. If the government decreased it (something that Obama, Trump, and Romney have all supported), there would be a net increase of corporate/investor spending within the US.




The numbers of the stupid chart don't even make sense, though. I'll give one example. The minimum amount that an individual would pay for Medicare is easily calculated, as part of the payroll tax is set aside for it. An individual making $50,000 annually would pay at least 1.45% of their income into Medicare. That would be $725 minimum going into Medicare, which nowhere near $235.81.

These numbers are completely off. Anyone peddling this is the liberal equivalent of Rush-listening NGFM.

Noticing the media and pundits starting to pivot on Trump, mentioning how they were wrong. Looks like they are reaching the "Acceptance" phase now.

Hmmm....

Yep thats a goshin crowd

Definitely people who look like they need free healthcare.

They should introduce state run gyms that are part of that free healthcare. I imagine the offset of costs would be huge if you made able lard asses do something active. "Doctor visit? That will cost you 5 miles at 3+ mph"

Next time, please put a trigger warning on a photo like that.

I feel threatened, i demand an apology and that Rayn steps down.

TW is my safespace.

sadly thats a decent % of the current generation bros.

:ugh:

buncha worthless stupid ****s

reinstate the draft, invite the female things to the party.

trump filed for bankruptcy 4 times maybe that's his plan for america fuk yeah

No, he's never filed for personal bankruptcy. He used Chapter 11, 4 times on various companies. (most had to do with his Casinos and failing Atlantic City)

dont 4get trump tower LOL

I didn't like my tax dollars going to bail out GM. If a car company fails during the Trump administration, he will likely tell them "get better at business".

8 years ago most of you useless ****s looked like that and voted like that too.
obama was the greatest and he would free the world.

sadly all he did is free islam and make it so men can use the little girls room if the decide they are gender challenged.

now clinton who was the devil is the choice of the obama voters as she has pledged to continue his legacy and go further with his much vaunted "change"

most of you are a bunch of idiots who voted for obama... TWICE.

:mecry:

The auto companies paid their loans back.

Kia is more American than GM.

According to Obama, it should be.

The big evil financial institutions paid their loans back in less time than the auto industry and the government actually made money off of it.

shoulda sent them to jail and broken them up

now they're right back at it being pricks and we're all gonna lose

my job is pamperchu

Not the ****ing point. You are obviously a fan of spending other people's money on ****heads who should have ****ing known better.

Keep trolling me though....

From that politifact article:

I didn't like Bush using TARP, but since the banks hold peoples' money and the risk of investments disappearing could be catastrophic, I at least understood it. They should have been punished but were not. But loaning GM and Chrysler money was not the role of the USG. Just like Obama giving all that money to green energy companies...which all failed.

Handouts gotta stop.

There you go again, making excuses for Bush. These banks and their business practices caused the recession, and their CEOs stayed out of jail and got our money.
You're right. It would have been better if the US auto industry collapsed, all their employees lost their jobs, and we'd all be buying Honda and Toyota.

honestly Toyotas are ****ing tanks

u guys lost out both ways

I know. I watch Top Gear.

i don't

but i live in the land of the Corolla

He's an engineer, but no one will employ him because he smells like pee from the used diapers he wears. He said so on his twitter once.

You and I both know they figured out how to buy votes long ago... and the biggest reason they want latinos / hispanics brought in. Steal from the producing class and give it to the recipient class. Securing votes secures elections and secures the power that comes with it. The Political class doesnt have to deal with the everyday problems they create, they have protections and benefits their position provides.

The salient point I am getting at is this: give them a space without the producing class's tax money. Have them put their altruistic beliefs in action and monitor their results. Their challenge is to build their utopia from scratch. They certainly can't whine that they had to fight for any space with other competing societies / cultures. Just them; only them. An entire continent for them to conquer on their own.

These sjws and other dregs of humanity have this notion that they are just so much smarter than everyone else.

Prove it.

I've been telling you to do the same thing for years

Go to somalia and try your limited govt freedoms and liberties out

you do realize that all the car manufactures that took the "bail out" STILL went and claimed bankruptcy? that the bail out did nothing to prevent them from claiming bankruptcy?

yet they're still here.... Surprise!

Car makers file bankruptcy, it was because the law allows them to and it is sound business practice.

Trump has one of his companies file bankruptcy and he doesn't know what he is doing and is a horrible CEO.

Somalia, the country that was destroyed by attempts to implement Soviet style socialism? The country that has much better human rights and social welfare records under its current relative anarchism than it had under a centralized government? You statists are a ****ing hoot.

Without the bailout they could have just said "**** it, we're closing, nobody is getting paid" leaving creditors, suppliers, and their employees out in the cold. We could have added GM and Chrysler to the long list of defunct automobile manufacturers. Their former employees would go on unemployment, retire early, and/or apply for government assistance in the form of food stamps or Medicaid. You think $14 billion was a big loss? Imagine that tax burden.
