    But also used that same fiction to preach to slaves to obey your masters even the cruel ones. 

    Twisting yourself into a pretzel to make excuses for a being that should've seen all this coming and either didn't or chose to ignore it should make you question any/all of it. 

    Then you're gonna say, 'but free will'.  To which I will ask, 'which person, that has a financial stake in you retaining your faith, told you that?' 

    You can believe in God without a religion that has a financial stake in retaining your faith.  Same thing you do with the Democratic Party.  You believe they can do no wrong and give them nothing financially.

    They can't prove that 'what they believe needs taught' is real. Where as the more we learn about the world/universe makes the gap that their friend lives in, smaller and smaller. Thus harder and harder to convince themselves that what they've wasted their time with is worth spending more time. 

    Sunken cost can wreck your day. 

    Nor can you prove it isn’t real.

    Yes. You were convinced of it as a child by people you trusted to lead you. Like Santa. But rather than casting that belief aside when kids around you started coming to their senses. You probably kept going to church or wherever and having the belief/faith reinforced. Also that your parents could not possibly be wrong about THIS because they are so smart and in charge and if you disagree with them there could be some bad ramifications. 

    As kids we all picked up on the things we just shouldn't ask about. Getting spanked will do that. 

    Now the sunken cost has kicked in and to question it now would mean unwinding a whole lot of stuff that you would rather not. Calling into question loved ones and the trauma that might bring up. So instead you decide to fight against it despite an itch in your mind that you probably don't have a leg to stand on. 

    BTW, faith is what you say when you don't have a good reason or you'd just say the reason. 

    No. Faith is what I believe and science has yet to prove its wrong.

    As far as any can tell (at least none have provided evidence) his party has moved further left, he has not changed.  

    Covered that already.  People on here and in the article I posted believe he has whether he did or not.  And it’s right not left that people think he’s moved to. But you do you.

    The thing by itself cannot take action of its own. So no religion is not malevolent. I would say the use of it is. Good, bad, or otherwise its wrong to threaten people with punishment for no other reason than they exist and thus deserve it. That's just one iteration of religion but other ones aren't any better. 

    Saw an interesting video the other day. Person was talking about changing churches based on the morality they would rather have preached at them. If morality was actually a thing it should be universal and unchanging. But we change it all the time. So morality is relative to your situation and choice. Each person makes up their version of the religion to follow. For whatever reason they have, fear or convenience, it changes from person to person and church to church. Which means they can't all be right but can all be wrong. How do we tell? 

    It’s called faith.

    I didn't even know it was visibility whatever day until I saw a bunch of people looking for something else to gripe about on this board.     If only we lived in a place where we had a right to choose what to participate in, and not be bothered by people who do things we don't agree with if we don't want to.....

    That’s what happens when there’s too much government

    A vast majority of this country agree with him. As based on five of the last six general elections. That gap will only get wider. An 80 year old man came out in support for alternative lifestyles. Sorry you feel it outshined your imaginary friend. If they could be outshined by such a tiny effort, makes me wonder if they are as powerful as claimed. Totally worth it. 

    I can’t wait until you have to meet his imaginary friend.

    So you answered the one question that you could and ignored the ones you couldn't or didn't want to answer. 

    That's telling. 

    Can you back up any of your examples, that includes the amount? 

    Oh, and $80b+ is stolen, annually, from tithed money to churches around the world. Does this count in your total. 

    Can you show any back up to prove that’s what’s happening in churches around the world.  Btw i wasn’t talking about the world.  Just the good ole USA

    44-63 tax rate was 90% for the top tier. 
    That’s only one tax bracket where’s the rest of them??

    Loopholes: carried interest, all tax incentives for fossil fuels, increase social security tax ceiling to $(infinity symbol) of earned income, Medicare tax loophole for LLCs, capital gains tax, Stepped-Up loophole, Pass through business deduction, for starters
    How much is this worth?

    Lets start with the $80b, ' That is, a $1 increase in spending on the IRS’s enforcement activities results in $5 to $9 of increased revenues.' That's a great ROI. 
    Define Great ROI  by whose standards?  Yours?

    Apple, Amazon, and Google regularly pay fines based on anti-competitive practices. They engage in monopolizing practices, get caught, pay a fine, then begin working on other ways to deter competition, cycle continues. 
    So they’re NOT actual monopolies?  They just engage in monopolizing activities   Nothing to break up huh?

    All of it. Make elections publicly funded. And rank-choice voting, while we're at it. 
    What money is all of it?  How much is it?  Who’s spending it?  

    Google the Glass-Steagall and report back. 
    Why don’t you show me in Glass-Steagal where is says anything about boring banking   As you tell people on here the onus is on you  

    Google estate tax. 
    this didn’t answer my questions.  Again the onus is on you.

    Rich paying taxes, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaires-jeff-bezos-elon-musk-164830206.html or https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax from IRS documents. And of course it should change because they get the roads and bridges for free and should help to pay the cost. 
    Again you avoided answering my questions   

    Accountability: we can't trust people with power, influence, and/or authority. Transparency helps to keep people accountable. Businesses that put up firewalls to keep their dirty deeds from coming out, need to be better policed. Prevention rather then reaction. Who has to? Government. 
    Who are those people with the power and influence?   Name them.   What businesses are you referring to with fire walls? Better policed by whom?  Prevention of what? 

    Defense spending: Because its the most palatable and offers glide path to industries that rely on the spigot of defense money to diversify. Its compassionate to an industry that thrives on having little to none of it to begin with. 
    you didn’t answer why systematically.  Diversify what? What industry and who’s not compassionate?

    Education: Yes. Yes. And yes. But all should be free. 
    But it’s NOT free.  Somebody is paying for it.   Nobody is forcing anyone to go to college so why should it be paid for by those that don’t go?   

    I look forward to your response.  
     

    I look forward to your response  hopefully this time you’ll answer all the questions

    Joe_Biden_presidential_portrait.jpg?resi

    House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has sent a seven-page letter (below) to invite President Joe Biden to testify in the Republican impeachment inquiry. The letter is the latest, and best, reduction of the glaring contradictions in the President’s past statements on his family’s well-documented influence peddling operation. President Biden is not expected to testify. However, the media should be interested in his answering the questions presented by the Committee. It is now clear that the President lied during his campaign and during his presidency on his lack of knowledge of his son’s business activities as well as his denial of any money gained from China. Yet, the White House responded, again, with mockery — a sense of impunity that only exists due to an enabling media.

    Chairman Comer reduces the past testimony and evidence acquired by the Committee in the corruption scandal. In the last hearing, Democratic members simply refused to acknowledge that evidence. There was a bizarre disconnect as members mocked the witnesses for not supplying evidence of the President’s knowledge or involvement. They then did so and the members declared that there was no evidence.

    Various members also misrepresented my earlier testimony during the hearing on the basis for the impeachment inquiry. Members like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) stated that I joined other witnesses in stating there was nothing that could remotely be impeachable in these allegations. That is demonstrably untrue. My testimony stated the opposite. I refused to pre-judge the evidence, but stated that there was ample basis for the inquiry and laid out various impeachable offenses that could be brought if ultimately supported by evidence. I also discussed those potential offenses in columns. The purpose of the hearing was not to declare an impeachment on the first day of the inquiry. Unlike the two prior impeachments by many of these same Democratic members, this impeachment inquiry sought to create a record of evidence and testimony to support any action that the House might take.

    Now, the Committee has laid out the considerable evidence showing that the President had lied, knowingly and repeatedly.

    Interspersed with specific evidentiary findings, the Committee presents ten questions that the President should be able to answer directly and unequivocally:

    1. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Jonathan Li of Bohai Industrial Fund and/or Bohai Harvest Rosemont?

    2. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Ye Jianming of CEFC?

    3. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Henry Zhao of the Harvest Fund?

    4. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Vadym Pozharskyi of Burisma Holdings?

    5. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Mykola Zlochevsky of Burisma Holdings?

    6. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Kenes Rakishev of Novatus Holding?

    7. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yelena Baturina?

    8. Have you met, spoken to, or otherwise interacted with Yuriy Luzhkov?

    9. Did you ever ask your brother James Biden about the source of the funds he used to pay or repay you?

    10. Did Eric Schwerin have insight into all your bank accounts until December 2017?

    In response, the White House Counsel’s office again responded with mockery and taunting. I have previously discussed (including in my testimony in the Biden hearing) how the role of the White House staff in these denials can raise serious questions under the impeachment inquiry.

    That has not deterred White House Counsel spokesperson Ian Sams, who has been previously accused of misrepresenting facts and engaging in heavy-handed treatment of the media. Sams responded to the letter:

    “LOL. Comer knows 20+ witnesses have testified that POTUS did nothing wrong. He knows that the hundreds of thousands of pages of records he’s received have refuted his false allegations. This is a sad stunt at the end of a dead impeachment. Call it a day, pal.”

    Houdini-Elephant-249x300.jpg?resize=249%The involvement of a member of the White House Counsel’s staff issuing such a disrespectful and taunting message would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Yet, the media has enabled such denial and deflection by showing no interest in the answers to any of these questions. It is part of the genius of the Biden management of this scandal. The White House quickly got reporters to buy into the illusion, making any later recognition impossible for these reporters. It is Houdini’s disappearing elephant trick applied to politics.

    Even if most of the media refuses to demand answers, the public has a right to hear directly from the President on these specific questions. President Biden can still deny all of this countervailing evidence and “say it ain’t so,” but he should say something.
