    Sure. Repeal the 26th and 2nd Amendments. Let's see how many heads explode (figuratively).

    Yep, Democrat appeal is putting 10 people in a room, one of them is Bill Gates, then asking the room to vote on whether we should equitably distribute Bill Gates's money.

    Is anyone in the GOP behind this idea other than this guy most of us never heard of until he announced he was running for president?

    I've seen it discussed by right wing social media people, but otherwise, no.

    Nice catch, so one outlier speaks for the entire party.

    I guess it only goes one way.

    I gave you an "agree" rep because if Biden did have any honor that would be it. But he's the clown that started the Senate committee "Borking" in the conformation process for SCOTUS. Biden's been a POS his whole political life. And according to his daughter's diary (the FBI has authenticated it as real) he a pedophile as well.

    You realize her account is impossible, right?? He’s a Democrat and Democrats don’t do those types of things. Daughter must be a money hungry MAGA voter.

    ‘He’ is singular. Now figure out why the thread title is misleading.
    And what the heck is Smerconish?

    As have been the Republican platforms. The difference is that the Left giveaways have been to the poor, the Right's to the rich.

    And who provides the jobs, the rich or the poor?
    Please don’t make me post how many govt programs are already in existence to help with the poor.

    Is that what all the tax breaks for the rich are? Rewards for creating jobs? Seemingly not very good jobs, if so many people need assistance from the government to survive.

    There are indeed programs for the poor. I don't know the exact number, but I do know there would be far fewer if the Republicans had their way.

    You libbies don’t like pubs and you don’t like Christians. Both are desperately trying to help the poor.
    Always have.
    The libbies are “trying” to help the poor in words only. They aren’t serious about it. They can’t afford to change their messaging as it’s how they get the freebie vote.

    Don't drag Christians into this. The only objective way to settle this is to compare the voting records of the respective parties. Anything else is just opinionating.
