    Didn't work in Kansas, didn't work in Oklahoma...



    "let's keep trying this failed policy"

    By all means, keep discrediting your ideas. It saddens me that people have to pay the cost of your failures though.
    Maybe you missed this part?

    In the decade from 2005-2015, the nine states with zero income tax saw population increase by an average of 12.9%, while population in all 50 states rose by 8.8%. During that same period, the nine states with the highest income tax rates saw population grow by only 6.6%. The nine states with zero income tax also had economic, personal income, and payroll growth that outpaced all states on average, and outperformed the high income tax states to an even greater extent.

    Libs use Kansas as a pro-tax argument the way Cons use Chicago as a pro-gun argument.

    Why don't you guys who want to raise taxes and love democratic socialism DONATE more of what you earn to further your liberal ideas? If this re-distribution is so fantastic, put your money where your mouth is and go all out altruistic.

    Me, I work hard and invest/take risk with my money - I don't see why I should be handing over that hard-earned money to people who some of you think shouldn't even have to work 20 hours per week to receive expensive health care that the rest of us are struggling to pay for.

    Our country would be vastly better off with more "socialism", in terms of social safety nets and making sure we don't waste human capital, which we do, daily, and tragically.

    (shrugs)

    What is your alternative? Shoveling people into ovens? I honestly have no idea what "conservatives" want or think these days beside some mindless droning about whatever Fox News talking point koolaid they have been drinking.

    Serious question. Pony up some workable policy solutions to some problem based on "conservatism" whatever the that means. I could use a laugh.

    Haven't scrolled down to see what lazy e Snakeboy posted, but before I do, I am going to guess two things:

    1. It is some personal attack on me.
    2. Two sentences tops.

    Winner is #2.

    You say that sarcastically, but the cult of personality for the Trump party... I am not so sure. The Nazi's that support him would happily do just that, and clearly say as much.

    Only one sentence and all the snark DarrinS’s understudy could muster without ever having anything resembling a take.
