TailingsPond + 1,008 GE January 16 In other news more socialism was just approved. For those who can't understand (eyes shut), people who do not have children contribute, yet do not receive anything, hence socialism. "The bill would incrementally increase the maximum refundable child tax credit to $1,800 for 2023 tax returns, $1,900 for the following year and $2,000 for 2025 tax returns. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank and advocacy group, projected that about 16 million children in low-income families would benefit from the child tax credit expansion."

Since the rise of Trump and the political fervour surrounding him from both sides the rhetoric has just escalated to a new level or at least that is my perception as a "foreigner". Do you guys feel there is ever going to be a more accepting middle ground between the 2 parties or even the potential politically for a new party to take that middle ground and become a force in years to come? As an outsider looking in its not reassuring to other nations that the hegemon appears to be so divided, and potentially will inflict upon itself enough wounds for a country such as China to step in and take over that mantle.

Have you been talking to all the Englishmen that are looking for another place to live? England is turning into a totally different culture than what it was when I was young and visited London. Now with Muslim mayors it is a real mess. Democrats in America have been trying to do the same thing to America by letting in illegal aliens and changing our culture according to socialist values. Where were you when Obama was president and tore American values apart and now when BIden is doing the same? Europeans values are so far left that they think Trump is the bogeyman.

I am not anti-muslim, but against violent Muslims and extreme government controls that exist in Europe and Canada, New Zealand and Australia. My standard is the United States Constitution as it is literally written. It can be amended as desired. Today's liberals do not want free speech as exhibited by all the Western World including the establishment in America. The Established Orders do not abide by their own constitutions. Even Russia has a great constitution that is, of course not followed. You may have good ideas but seem blind to the evils of big government dictatorship. It is a common blindness so I am not trying to defame you. I have traveled in Canada and know what it is like today. It is no better than the United States. The government is even more authoritarian however The people are greatly divided between left and right, but socialism seems to have won already while we are still fighting it in America. You did not attempt to deny the veracity of my arguments. You and I know that they are true. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
