    Yeah, in my opinion, if undocumented immigrants are paying taxes here, they're productive members of society and I don't have a problem with them living here.

    As long as they illegally vote Democratic are law-abiding while they're here.

    The foolish thing about this statement is that even though they are touted as "fiscally conservative" they're not. AND our economy has ALWAYS done better under Dems than Repubs.
    You know this but you'll bring up some bullshit chart to try and refute it...

    If you, also, start from the assumptions that:

    1. all positive things that happen during Republican terms are entirely to do with the current President
    2. all negative things that happen during Republican terms are entirely to do with the previous President
    3. all positive things that happen during a Democratic term are entirely to do with the previous President
    4. all negative things that happen during a Democratic term are entirely to do with the current President

    then those charts will start to make a lot more sense. You just need the appropriate filter.

    You said specifically that it doesn't mention "illegals". So again, why is this relevant?

    By your reasoning, the Dems simply benefitted from the previous administrations' policies.

    There's some truth to this.

    W inherited Clinton's massive stock market crash that occurred in year 8.

    What Obama inherited was a similar sized blow to the economy that occurred in year 8.

    What Trump inherited is a weak growth economy, with a huge number of perfectly able people dependent on government handouts (food stamps, etc.).

    It mentions it, doesn't break it down. It could be 90 percent either way.

    When you're 20 trillion in debt, accounting for 20 percent of multiple nations GDP seems a bit off.

    It drains from Americans in multiple ways. Takes jobs and takes money out of our economy. Progressives think unemployment benefits and welfare stimulate the economy.

    Like me borrowing 20 bucks from myself somehow turns into 40 when I pay myself back.

    I'm all for taxing the fuck out of rich people. So there.

    We give out food stamps
    People buy bologna
    Walmart stock goes up

    Is Walmart one of the companies based in Ireland for tax purposes?
