   I really wonder about people like Goodwyn. Do they really believe this or is it just politics? They really are in a position to know better.

   What you said in no way addresses my concerns. All I can do is repeat what I said previously. I just cut and pasted my previous comment.

   Taxpayers must pay for government spending. A collective decision must be made who pays how much. Since the two political parties can not come to an agreement on what spending should be cut, every tax cut for any group adds to the deficit. Republicans used to be opposed to increasing the deficit. Under those circumstances tax cuts for the wealthiest seem to be a mistake. (It could be argued that a tax cut for any group is a mistake under those circumstances.)

   And that was started by the Republicans. First by Newt Gingrich and then by Tea Party Republicans. When they outwardly called me the enemy it was hard for me not to think of them the same

   JUst quoting that statistic is dishonest and a misuse of statistics. What percent of the income does that 3 percent receive? What percent of the wealth do they have? Those three percentages would give a more complete picture of the situation

   I can not express in words how angry I am about the Republican’s successful destruction of the Post Office. Something they have long wanted.

   It is sick that people would say that Trump would expose himself to boys and girls. Unfortunately, it is probably true.

   I look at what Biden and Schumer are doing as tough love. What Netananyahu is doing in Gaza is not going to get Israel security. Quite the opposite. It is getting them more enemies. Someone has to tell Israel that since they don’t seem to understand that.

   I should feel bad about incidents like this where Trump haters (like me) take part of a quote out of context. But the first time I remember it being done was to President Obama. He was making an argument for higher taxes on business; especially big business. Part of the quote was, “You didn’t build that.” Fox News made it sound like he was claiming the businesses didn’t build their business, thus proving Obama was a socialist. But, when you looked at the entire passage it was obvious he was talking about the national infrastructure the businesses needed to succeed.

    True. But in many ways Trump and the Republicans are trying to return to those times when the nation was even more divided.
