But he wants a national flat tax...

That's a good thing.
Big D Trump paying let's say 30% outweighs some college kiddo paying 30%.

Where I live it is possible to lose over 60% of your income to taxes.

"But the rich should be taxed more huehue"

The problem with that is that you can work your ass off and end up poorer then your neighbour who sits on his ass all day.

Flat tax is the only form of taxation that is fair and not theft.

someone who makes 25k a year will be a lot more hurt than someone who makes 200k. life isn't fair, especially when it comes to government, and a flat tax is actually more unfair than a progressive tax. 1k is a lot to someone making 25k a year, but it's hardly anything to someone who makes 200k.

I don't get how anyone likes a flat tax

I hate rand paul and dislike ben carson for exactly that reason. Except for rand paul, there's a lot of other reasons to hate him.

Never gonna have a candidate that I support 100% of what they want. Kinda want to add that since the last election I've changed how I feel on quite a few things.

I don't remember the source so take this as you want, but the flat taxes that were proposed by any of the GOP candidates would actually end up with the US pulling in less tax dollars than it already does.  

This guy is truly not ****ing around. These are situations where Obama would have stepped up to a podium and groveled about how he condemns this or that and blah, blah, blah.

Honestly don't see how people think dropping this thing on ISIS is a bad thing.

It's always the same **** with these people.

"Oooooo the money for that bomb could've been used for healthcare or something."

We already paid for the damn thing in advance and it was made right here in the USA. This thing was probably made years ago and was just sitting around in some base waiting to be used. It's not like we had it made just weeks ago and now the government is down 30 mil.

The money is just going around in circles so it's not like the government is broke after using this thing.

Yeah healthcare would be pretty handy especially after some ISIS nut shoots up the nightclub you're in or runs you over with a truck.

At least you're prepared to pay for whatever horrible **** they do to you and the ones you love.

Other Marines and fellow U.S. State Dept. officials I've worked with discussed. That the US has grown soft. And not in a emotional "your opinions hurt my feelings" kind of way, but in a way where the US has forgotten our responsibility to the rest of the world and have chosen to take what seemed like an easier, selfish route of "making America great again".

looks like OP really knew what he was talking about

That's probably the reason why a majority of people in muslim countries actually turn into radicals or join with ISIS/any other terror spreading pile of.. but yea, as long as Americans use that reason to kill innocent people aswell, it sounds cool and democratic.

You don't fight war with war.  

civilian casualties shot up since trump took office, i wonder where these people are gonna turn their anger to?

you know its probably because some of these strikes and raids have only killed civilians. this particular bomb was satisfying because they couldnt have possibly ****ed it up...i hope.

Lol yeah of course.

We don't fight war with war we fight war by funding different terrorists to fight the bad terrorists but then they become bad terrorists and it's the same story all over again.

War... HAS CHANGED.

I don't mean to sound cynical but that's kinda what happens during war.

You can't possibly expect everything to go all hunky-dory when you're dropping semi-nukes on people.

If people really cared about how we took care of the situation they'd probably be begging the US to send troops in to surgically remove threats but they all have the idea that their kids are gonna be drafted or something ridiculous like that.

Make up your minds.

You either kill the cancer before it spreads or you just wait for it to kill you horribly.

Don't worry they can't use that unless a single person gets 25 kills

There's the fog of war, and then there's carelessness. I'm not saying that we're being careless. Just pointing out the difference.

Also, we're not actually at war. Not sure why, though.

One issue with civilian casualties is that we're not fighting the civilians' country. They're not affiliated in any way with the enemy we're fighting. That's why there's a strong need not to kill them with our airstrikes and other attacks against ISIS. It's like bombing Brazilians in order to retaliate against Japan after Pearl Harbor. America needs to be careful and not just dismiss everything as okay or for the "greater good".
