    Maybe.  Republicans will tell you that government size is fine so long as it is focused on doing more efficiently and effectively what it can only do. Nobody is going to say the government shouldn't help those in need. However, the government is currently doing a poor job running things that it shouldn't be attempting to run.  

    What informs your statement?  

    Currently?

    It is unclear if OP trolls or is misinformed.

    Republicans often support a strict interpretation of the Constitution, emphasizing limited government, individual freedoms, and adherence to the original intent of the Founding Fathers. 

    Democrats seem to change intent and focus on government intervention to address societal problems.

    100%. Misinformed.

    Based on your comments and the stories you post its pretty clear you don't want these people competing on such a team. You can whine about assuming all you want. Doesn't stop you from doing it, assuming or whining. 

    There are no such things as "women's sports". They're just sports. Many of them differ because of the people that were in charge at the time were misognystic and ignorant that one iteration of a sport needed to be 'fairer' so that they wouldn't hurt themselves. 

    Examples: Tennis, 3 sets vs 5 sets. Differences of Baseball vs Softball, not allowing certain people to run a marathon until the 60's or Olympics until the 80's.

    Coed sports have been around forever.

    3 Democrat Presidents attend the Biden Fundraiser at the same time.   With some of the most amazing talent assembled.   Luminaries like Colbert. Kimmell, LIZZO. Queen Latifa and some bimbo I've never heard of.  

    The event started with Comedian Mindy Kaling  hosted the event and spoke just moments after singer Lizzo finished a rendition of her hit About Damn Time. Other stars such as Queen Latifah and Cynthia Erivo (Who)  also took the stage.  Apparently Diddy was busy.  

    But the longest standing ovation was saved for the moment when the three presidents - Mr Biden, Mr Obama and Mr Clinton  rose to the stage on a platform.      A big steaming pile of Presidents rising from depths.   

    Just to be a fly on the Wall at such an amazing event.  Wow.     

    Chants of "four more years" echoed throughout the auditorium for Mr Biden.   Even if they have to wheel him in like Diane Feinstein or keep him on ice like RBG. 

    "Three presidents... and none of them are here [in New York] to go to court," joked comedian Stephen Colbert, alluding to Mr Trump's legal troubles.  

    In Other News:

    Stupid old Trump was attending a wake for NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller fatally shot in Queens.  Shame on him.  

    Dems hate cops sooooo it’s no big deal to them.

    A weird situation in general.  Kennedy's politics are all over the place but have shifted rightward throughout this process.  His biggest donor is also Donald Trump's biggest donor.

    Trump has reacted on his own social platforms, acting as if he was outraged, but it felt more like he was trying to position RFK as the spoiler against Biden, similar to the strategy Dems ran in several places the last couple of election cycles, most recently with Schiff and Garvey in California.  Basically going on and on about how leftist and liberal RFK is.

    Weird indeed.  His relationship with his own family is rather interesting.  I do think he has moved a tad bit to the right but IMO the image he has moved that way is stronger because of his Covid jab stance.   I can see him taking votes from both sides.

    Return to 1944-63 income tax rates. 
    What are those rates?

    Close tax loopholes. 
    Which Loopholes are you talking about?

    Fully fund the IRS
    How much will that cost and what would the ROI be?

    Break up monopolies.
    Monoplies are illegal  which ones are you talking about?

    Get money out of politics. 
    What money in politics are you talking about?

    Glass-Steagall. Make Banking Boring Again! 
    what does making banking boring again even mean?

    Increase estate tax. 
    What is the estate tax now?  Raise it how much?  Why? 

    Some of the richest people in the world pay little to no taxes on their wealth. That should change. 
    who are the ones you refer to as some? What is little tax in your mind? Which ones pay no tax? Why should it change? 

    A lot of these ideas comes from the fact that we cannot trust that they are holding themselves accountable. So someone has to. 
    Who can’t we trust? Define accountable?  Who has to? 

    Systematically decrease defense spending. 
    How much? Why systematically? 

    Increase education spending. Pre-K. Free school breakfast/lunch programs.

    who should make it free?  The feds?  The state?  Arent there states that already do this?  

    Details would be good huh?

    First bold: How would someone take RV's post as other then for some reason they dislike rich people when all they do is regurgitate the negative troupes about them.

    Second bold:  Because they run the company and take on all the risk.  If you want to make more money as a worker, work harder for a better position, change careers if needed, get more education, do something for yourself.  Some act as if every single CEO/Executive do absolutely nothing or have done nothing to get to where they are.  Even if someone was just "given" an executive position they would still have to know how to do it otherwise they would get booted by the board.  Are there bad apples and terrible CEO's/Executives....of course!  But to just blanketly bash these people because they make a lot of money is ridiculous.  And this crazy believe that they "hoard their money" and don't give enough away to help others is asinine.  What are they supposed to do spend/give as much of their money away that they have to live month to month?

    I would respect people like you and RV if you just blatantly said what you truly feel, ie., 100% distribution of wealth no matter what someone brings to the table.

    I think I’ll tip over when they admit they’re communists thru and thru

  8. It’s amazing how little L wingers understand about business.  They think it’s simple to run a multi billion dollar company. I was glad the CEO(s) that ran the company I worked for were making what they were.  They were making decisions for 15 years down the road that ensured a viable company is still there.  The good ones are worth every penny.  Put someone in those roles and pay them peanuts and you’ll find out.
