💬 In light of the recent tragedies ... Comfortable w/ SEC athletes protesting/demonstrating like seen?

Enjoy your night

I bet you think drug testing welfare applicants violates civil rights, don't you?

Why should the people that work for their money be drug tested, and people that don't work for their money not be?

 

[JoshB]

So because I state and quote scientific and sociological truth, I'm racist?

Yeah, okay. Go tell that to the black guy, one of my best friends, that married my wife and I. Or one of my other best friends, also a black guy, that got me into coaching football with him. Or the black girls I've dated in the past. They're not black to me. They're just civilized, normal people with a better tan than I have...lol. But they, along with the Morgan Freemans and the Chris Rocks of the world, will be the first to tell you that black people as a whole get a really bad rap because of the rampant thug culture that has spread like cancer throughout the black community over the last 2-3 decades.

Fact: although only accounting for 13% of the US population, 52% of murders alone nationwide are committed by blacks. That number is grossly higher in larger metro areas.

Why is there such a high percentage of murder by such a small percentage of the population? Please tell me it's the fault of "white privilege", and I'll tell you you're a liberal fool.

Really a scientific and sociological truth? Really? Saying that "the overwhelming majority of blacks" are "fucking thugs" is a scientific fact huh? You make yourself sound and more and more gotdamn ignorant and it completely goes over your head.

I find it hilarious you went to the age old "some of my best friends are black" argument :rofl:

And we could have a debate over the reasons that black people commit (and are victims of) so many homicides and we could take into account things like poverty, drugs (and the reasons for those drugs being introduced into certain neighborhoods), etc. but there is no point in having that sort of debate with Baby Trump. So like someone already said, have a nice night biggot.

Sure, lets start with drug testing politicians...

oh and by the way those "welfare" drug tests have proven nothing except that they are a waste of time and money...

So tell me again how only 13% of the US population commits 52% of the murders nationwide? Yeah, I knew you would somehow blame someone else. Poverty? Whitey's fault too, huh? Drugs? All planted by Whitey po-pos. Yeah, ok.

I'm not bigoted (btw, with ONE G, not two) by stating facts. You state blind conspiracies.

You're a dem, aren't you? It's the DEMS that have black Americans still in shackles. It's the leftists that bring socialist policies like redistributing wealth that further perpetuates a poverty mentality. "It's okay if you don't want to work for your money. We'll tax the shit out of Mr. Self-made Joe Millionaire that worked his ass off for 20 years to build his fortune, so you don't have to work. Oh, and here's a free college education too!"

Disgusting.

Stating that the "overwhelming majority of blacks" are "fucking thugs" is not a fact, its an ignorant, racist fact. And I said we COULD have that conversation but you are filthy person so we cant...

Im a Dem and you are a dipshit Trump supporter. Self made Joe Millionaire :rofl: And by the way I have three jobs so piss off...

Not really sure what that had to do with the conversation, but to entertain you... I don't think it violates civil rights. I work for what I earn.

Again enjoy your day. I'd rather not argue ignorance.

 

[riz]

You see Mason at SECMD?

No, but I heard some people say they really like the guy after he spoke.

 

[riz]

Goddamn. See what I mean? Case closed.

Civil discourse seems to have fled the thread

Sorry, I was part of it (as usual) lol But a cpl of his comments got to me a little bit. Thats my bad folks.

Thought so... how do you like working those three jobs to make ends meet? Sucks being taxed out the ass and paying for citizens of a lazy, entitled, welfare state, doesn't it? How's the Great Divider, Mr. Obama, workin' out for ya?

Feel the Bern, amirite? Oh, wait.....

I could live comfortably off of one (considering we have no children), I work the other two because I enjoy it and like the extra money... I dont mind being taxed, my problem is where the money goes (and welfare is not one of the things I have issue with because Im not an asshole) and our taxes have dropped or stayed the same for lower and middle class people (and very slightly risen for the wealthy). Stop letting Fox News brainwash you.

My taxes have gone up, period. Since half don't pay anything, it's a dead issue. I"m most opposed to the refundable tax credit - for individuals or businesses. Reagan and Tip screwed the pooch on the Earned Income Credit. Corporate taxes are double taxation, and we should at least be on par with other nations to encourage repatriation of funds and to stop the foreign raids on domestic corporations.

I'm saving what I can, will retire and find a large plot of land with an originating water source, arable land and a defendable perimeter. And I'm planning to have at least two cars that don't care if there's an EMP or solar storm.

RTR,

Tim

Capital gains and the highest tax bracket (500k or more) has come up (slightly from 35 to 39%). Middle class income tax is as low now as its been in literally decades. And yes 45% or so of people dont pay income tax considering they make less than 13,000 a year aka they dont make enough to even live. Earned income tax credit is pretty much for the lowest of the low income (if you make more than 15,000 you dont even qualify to get anything) and its no more than a few hundred dollars. Again, I have no issue with taxes and how much I'm paying as long as its going to something we need and where it should be going (to roads, bridges, schools, getting cops the equipment and training they need, etc.) not for politicians to take that money and then give to parents that send their kids to private school as a "tax credit" or so Republicans in congress to do 100 Benghazi hearings and investigations so we can hear the same verdict 100 times for example.

What the great Dr. King said 55 years ago is so freaking applicable today, even more so because it hasn't gotten better.... only worse.

Oh, and this...

 

[JoshB]

:rofl: Everytime a conservative points out that "MLK was a Republican" it makes me literally laugh out loud. And the funny thing is, with you, I dont know if you honestly thing "yeah see he would be with us!" or if you are just doing your Fox News impression. MLK would not be a Republican in 2016 and if you think he would ever want to be associated with a party that supports a piece of elephant feces like Donald Trump you are insane. Look up the "southern strategy" and realize how dumb you are to claim MLK would be a Republican. The parties completely switched during the "southern strategy" and it was purposely done.

You really need to read and research. EITC phases out at different levels based on whether you are single/joint and how many kids you have. $15M is the limit if you have no children, but it goes as high as $53M if you file joint and have three kids. The maximum isn't "no more than a few hundred dollars". It maxes at $6,269. I have relatives who get five thousand or more in EITC, plue everything that's been deducted in PIT. They get it all in tax season and blow the hell out of it. It's bad policy.

2016 EITC Income Limits, Maximum Credit Amounts and Tax Law Updates

In terms of tax liability, a good number of deductions have been phased out for higher earners over the years. If you remain motivated and as you approach your peak earning years, I hope you're successful enough to find out that many of the tax credits and deductions for many things, including college, phase out pretty quickly.

Yup. They keep taking deductions away from me. I've paid more than my fair share over the years...
