we drill off shore here

they don't permit it any longer (California controls the first three miles)

also they got congress to ban it for California for the portion they dont control
although that ban was not renewed about ten years ago, but the feds are too squeamish to lease any offshore

Owing to your substandard "education" I'll gently correct you - Texas wouldn't be shit with oil and air conditioning.

You are substantially correct - being a poor working motherfucker out here must really suck.

Truth be told, though, the homeless are not very aggressive. "Sleeping" in a tent beside the highway probably takes the zest out of them. On the few occasions I go into downtown I give them money and most of them look totally zonked out - as is about normal for the fuckheads around here...though the supply of free and easy women is not totally offensive to me...

Kamala Harris is one of those women Trump was talking about when he said women -- i.e., "Gold Diggers" -- that are enamored by rich and powerful men will let rich and powerful men grab them by the pussy. Kamala Harris let SF Mayor Willie Brown grab her by the pussy to advance her earnings and career.

Harris won't win the presidency, but it would be great to see her stay in the race and divide the dim-retard vote between two or more contenders.

The dim-retards in Connecticut, et al, will soon rue the day they decided to throw their Electoral Votes to the person with the most popular votes.

Obama did raise the tax percentage of the 7th tax bracket from 35% to 39.6% in 2013. With the Bush tax cuts of 2001 the 7th tax bracket was lowered to 35%.

https://taxfoundation.org/2013-tax-brackets

Obama had campaigned that he would not raise taxes on the middle class. The tax rate percentages in the other 6 tax brackets did not change in 2013. These were the tax rate percentages of the Bush tax cuts of 2001. They were set to expire in 2008, were extended and became permanent in 2013. With more tax revenue coming in, Moody's restored the credit rating of the USA back to AAA rating.

thanks adav for presenting the facts. vote for Harris. these snowflakes on the right don't know their stuff. they want welfare for white farmers during the trade tariff nonsense but want inner city children to starve and die. they are more worried about estate taxes for the rich than they are taking care of Americans who need help. the snowflakes have no heart. Jesus calls them wolves in sheep's clothing. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." I think later he says they are going to hell. A Vote for Harris is a vote for Jesus

Obama bailed out Wall Street, the banking system and the American Auto Industry. A democratic controlled congress passed the TARP bill that Bush signed into law. Bush was long gone when most of the TARP money was given to the "Troubled Assets". AIG got their 200 Billion after Bush left office. :

What was the GDP under Obama? Show us that link, and a link on business investment under Obama’s tax plan.

Yes bambino....maybe you can explain my reply to nevergaveitathought and friendly fred.

The point was, California does have good weather, Texas does have oil and Wilt would not have been tall were he only 5'5".

Actually, with the Affordable Care Act, Obama raised the top marginal rate to 43.4%, although if you just had income reported on a W-2, it would be 41.5% I think. Add marginal state income tax rates up to 13.3% and you get a total marginal rate over 50% in many states.

I agree with both you and Lexus Lover. Obama continued what Bush started, their policies were one and the same. At the time many of us, including me, blamed both for bailing out the banks, insurance companies, and auto industry. Looking back, it was a good investment that insured stability, and the taxpayer didn't lose much money.
