Bye Bye America !

A Donald Trump presidency would likely mean higher taxes for millions of middle-income families, CBS News reported on Friday, citing analysis from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

Under Trump’s tax plans, eight million middle-class families would be hit with higher taxes under the incoming president’s proposed “Contract With the American Voter,” which Trump released in October.

Among the millions of people slammed with tax hikes under Trump would be a majority of single-parent households – families who likely need a tax cut more than two-parent households. That’s because Trump plans to eliminate the head-of-household filing status, which 22 million Americans took advantage of last year and will no longer be able to if Trump’s proposal becomes reality.

“If you’re a low- or moderate-income single parent, you’re going to get hurt,” said Tax Policy Center fellow Bob Williams, according to CBS News.

The plan would also hurt taxpayers who have elderly parents living with them.

Another group of income earners likely to be hurt by Trump’s tax proposal are households with three or more children. According to USA Today, a two-parent household with four children could lose nearly $7,000 in tax deductions as a result of the president-elect’s plan to eliminate the personal exemption.

These are parts of the tax code that millions of families use to reduce the amount money they have to give to the government and, if the incoming president has his way, they will no longer be able to.



There are, however, some Americans that will mightily benefit from Trump’s tax proposal: the wealthy.

Under a Trump administration, the wealthiest 1 percent of income earners would have the most to gain as they would see an enormous 14 percent reduction in their tax burden, despite enjoying most of the gains during the recovery.

Ultimately, Donald Trump’s tax proposal is right in line with the failed trickle-down economic policies we’ve seen out of every Republican president in modern history. The only group of Americans that will truly benefit are those who don’t need it. Originally Posted by StandinStraight

I have paid more then my share . State,County,Local ,Real Estate , Fed . Interest and more. marriage tax plenty so we all need to pay our way.

Obama care is a mess of the 22 million on it. 10 million were sent to medicaid.. Most of the others if making 45,000 will pay 4,000 for a plan and have at least a 2000 deductible if not 3,500.

I admit the Dens will give you nice bike lanes in Pittsburgh. Charge you ten dollars to park on the street.

Just like a liberal to scream and cry wolf and stomp their feet just because someone else is in office. I know you live in Pittsburgh or close by .How do you like the roads and how are all those small towns like Jeannette and New Kensington and others looking.

Those problems were create by both parties and big money politics. The system is broken.

The Media is biased in its reporting they are liberals. Trump while not a great choice was the only choice to at least fix the problems or try.

Hilary Clinton was in government for 35 years and did nothing other then getting people killed and having a email server in her house.

No matter what the man does liberals will cry, he can issue stimulus checks they will bitch about cutting down of trees for the checks.

I wouldn't put much stock in favorablity numbers given by the same media that told us Hillary was 50pts ahead in the poles.

Obamas favorabilty rating is lower than Nixons!

I certainly hope his disapproval rating is near 50%, if even a single liberal is satisfied wih him then he still has work to do. #NoLiberalLeftBehind #OrangeLivesMatter

President Trump Smashes Record for Getting Majority of Americans to Disapprove of Him


It took former President George W. Bush 1,205 days to reach a majority disapproval rating. Former President Barack Obama crossed that threshold in 936 days.

And President Donald Trump did it in just over a week.

The Republican, who was sworn in on Jan. 20 as the least popular president in at least 40 years, hit majority disapproval in a record eight days, a new Gallup poll of 1,500 Americans finds. As of Saturday, 51 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump.

Trump’s majority disapproval rating comes after a tumultuous first week in office that was capped off with his widely protested executive order banning immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. After the president’s first day in office, millions of women and men protested his agenda in the Women’s March on Washington and sister marches around the world. Originally Posted by StandinStraight

Someone that votes for Trump should never call anyone else a fucktard, you should put on your Trump make America great again hat, sit in your pick up truck hugging your AK47 while the wife is ironing your white robe and hood, if you get bored add a few more bumper stickers to your truck, but don't call anyone a fucktard unless your looking in a mirror.

The Next Time a Republican Claims They’re Not the Party of Racism, Show Them This


Whenever the topic of racism, slavery or the Confederacy is brought up, Republicans will almost always bring up how they’re the “party of Lincoln” and it was actually Democrats who were the racists and segregationists.
Historically, this is true. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and Democrats were the “party of southern racism” for many years.
Here’s the thing: Anyone using this argument is either willfully ignoring key historical facts, devoid of common sense, or completely ignorant about all the factors that disprove their notion that it’s Democrats, not Republicans, who are the real racists – particularly against African-Americans.
In fact, by using just three notoriously racist individuals from our past, Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond and George Wallace, it’s fairly easy to prove that the modern-day GOP is rooted in racism and bigotry.
Without going into too much detail, the shift in the two parties really began to show itself during Harry Truman’s presidency when he established the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, ordering the end of discrimination in the military in 1948. This growing push among Democrats to support civil rights for African-Americans spawned a party that lasted for exactly one year, the Dixiecrats. In fact, in the 1948 presidential election, Thurmond was the party’s candidate winning Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
Notice the “southern theme” of those states? Keep a mental note because that factors in again here in a bit.
By the time the 1960’s rolled around, the shift of the two parties was in full-swing. After all, this was the heart of the civil rights area, culminating with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This was also around the time the “Southern Strategy” was born, a deliberate attempt by Republicans to target and pander to white racism.
Now that I’ve established all of that, let’s get back to Thurmond, Helms and Wallace.
All three of these men were Democrats.
In 1964 (Hm, what else happened that year?), Strom Thurmond ditched his ties to the Democratic party, officially becoming a Republican.
Then in 1968, George Wallace (still a staunch opponent of desegregation), ran for president under the banner of the American Independent party winning Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Notice the same “southern theme” (only larger this time) that we saw in 1948? That’s not a coincidence.

Finally 1970 rolled around, the year Jesse Helms eventually abandoned his ties to the Democratic party and became a Republican.
Now, why in the world would three extremely open racists and segregationists abandon the Democratic party if that party was still so racially bigoted? Not only that, but why would two of them become Republicans if the GOP was the party of “equality”? Then when you factor in the states Thurmond won in 1948 and Wallace won in 1968 were nearly identical (former members of the Confederacy/pro-segregation), and are currently now considered “strongly red states,” what rational person looks at all of that and doesn’t realize the very obvious correlation with all of this?
Hell, even David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the KKK, became a Republican in 1989 and won his election to Louisiana’s 81st district.
Just think about that: 27 years ago (a quarter century after the passage of the Civil Rights Act), the Republican party elected a former Grand Wizard of the KKK and well-known white supremacist.
But Republicans really want to try to argue that the modern-day version of their party isn’t rooted in racism?
Seriously?
I could write a small book concerning all the ties to indisputable racism in today’s GOP. The truth is, Republicans can no longer claim to be the “party of Lincoln” – those days are long gone.
But for someone to really look at all these indisputable facts I just listed (again, there are plenty of other examples, but I wanted to keep this somewhat short) and still claim that today’s GOP is the party of “equality,” while Democrats are the party of “racism,” only shows that they’re either in denial, willfully ignorant or just simply crazy.

Democrats tried to stop the civil rights act of 1964. Robert Byrd (Senator from WV who Hillaryou said was her mentor on the Senate) filibustered the bill after passage. So did AL Gore Sr., both known and admitted Klan members. Ever hear of Hugo Black? Supreme Court Justice who was a KKK member. Democratic party has always been the party of racism. If they are so great, why are so many minorities still struggling and complaining? I'll tell you why, 50 years of voting for a party that has done nothing but keep them from prospering. Republican party freed the slaves, helped found the NAACP, penned and pushed thru the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 3 or 4 before that. Name one piece of legislation that the Democrats have enacted specifically for the betterment of black people. Get back to me on that one, Mr. American Historian. Lol. Lyndon Johnson, biggest racist there ever was! Champion of Civil Rights. Lol! Look up what he said after the bill was passed. Kennedy had to have him as his running mate because the democeanic party was basically rich, cosmopolitan whites from the north east and racist southerners. I'll quote Ronald Reagan, "not saying that your lying, it's just so much of what you're saying isn't true". Now go get some knowledge and try again.

And do you know who came up with the southern strategy? Barry Goldwater, Sen. AZ. Know who was a Goldwater girl? But I guess people change right? Just like all the good ol Dixiecrats became Republicans huh? No, they're your Bill Clintons, AL Gores, etc, etc.....

And what Bambino just said! Man I hate when people try to bring up the race history and don't know what they're talking about.

IMG_0333.PNGRepublicans are the party of rural America and the democrats the party of the large cities. In the south the population of the rural areas is great enough to turn those states red. The whole argument of the south votes republican only cause they are racist is retarded.

I havent seen democrats this mad since we took away their slaves.
