Who's ready for President Trump!

[marshal]

Not to be smart, but, that's kind of what the whole revolutionary war thing was about...

bingo!

hardly

the ignition point for the revolutionary war was the Boston tea party, which was the imposing outrageously high taxes on goods without consent and the well storied events that followed. The response was King George creating the Intolerable acts

-The Boston Port Act, closing the port of Boston until the Dutch East India Company had been repaid for the destroyed tea;

-The Massachusetts Government Act, putting the government of Massachussets almost entirely under direct British control;

-The Administration of Justice Act, allowing royal officials to be tried in Britain if the king felt it necessary for fair justice;

-The Quartering Act, ordering the colonies to provide lodging for British soldiers

-The Quebec Act, expanding British territory in Canada and guaranteeing the free practice of Roman Catholicism.

The quartering act being the one that caused the biggest stir due to the Boston Massacre, and all of these lead to the creation of the continental congress and the official start of the Revolution.

IF you read Sander's tax reform plan, you'll plainly see that your taxes won't increase. the most significant new income will come from fixing the loop holes that allow huge corporations to stockpile their revenues offshore tax free, and setting a .5% flat tax on all stock trades. everything else is the byproduct of fixing where the money goes.

May want to go back and study, and not from a socialist source or school.

With the exception of Sanders (whom I won't vote for) they're all an embarrassment on varying levels. Depressing stuff,.....

I invite you to respond with corrections to historical points instead of being a sloppy cunt.

it was earlier than the tea party. it was the stamp act in 1765, 8 years before the BTP. further, the fighting at lexington & concord didn't occur until 2 years had passed since the BTP. hardly an "ignition point", but the BTP was another straw on the camel's back.

Well, you indirectly called me a socialist - which just won't do.

wally

i would disagree (however, i am no historian)

I would say that the stamp act and lexington and concord were vital points in weakening said camels back, but the direct results of the actions taken at BTP was what lit the flame for the revolution. The intolerable's weighed the most heavy upon the colonists, but you are right - the quarterings wouldn't have been so fear inducing without the boston massacre and lexington and concord

 

[ndcent]

Bernie Sanders.

The only respectable candidate, regardless of your political beliefs.

He's clearly the most decent human being in this race. Does that qualify him for president? Probably not, but every other current alternative is complete shit.

Sure didn't.

Exactly.

What happens when the guy with the nice house down the road, your doctor, the small business guy that you work for, etc. are getting taxed at 65%? Hell, even some of the left-leaning stuff I have read says that we all get to pay more.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/09/upshot/bernie-sanderss-tax-plan-would-test-an-economic-hypothesis.html

All of this is to pay for a lot of shit I neither want or could take advantage of. Our tax code is a mess and needs to be revamped, but Bernie just wants more of everybody's money.

He may be well-intentioned, but damn.

I heard he was seen kicking the poodle around the front yard. Worse, he cut the "do not remove" tag off his new mattress. His feet are kinda small, and he was seen unshaven at Home Depot one Saturday morning. Other than those foibles, he seems like a guy that would not use a private server for official government business ...

Hillary: felon
Bernie: commie
Trump: assclown
Rubio: rentboy
Cruz: creep
Kasich: douche

And this is the problem with politics - misinformed people. No candidate, let alone Bernie, is going to tax people at 65%. The best thing to do is educate yourself, read, critical think...and then make your own informed decision. Don't trust what you hear on Fox news or the media. Anyway, enough of this thread.

Maybe you should run then. You could go head to head with Trump.
