I think he's the most honest of all who are seeking their respective nominations and his passion for what he holds as beliefs is evident. Not sure I could vote for him, but if I *had* to choose between him and Hillary, I'd seriously consider it. If Bernie could actually explain how he is going to pay for the programs I could support him. I agree with him on a lot of issues and he does seem to be his own man. It is telling that he managed to rack up $65,000 worth of credit card debt. I am not sure I want him making decisions on my finances as a tax payer. |

Bernie has a web page with brief but interesting discussion of issues and his positions... https://berniesanders.com/issues/ I'm getting to the point that I simply cannot stand to watch Trump. Of course, I disagree with his positions on many issues, but that's not *the* issue with me. He's just so completely obnoxious, over the top, bombastic, detail-less, and hate-filled. I suppose that's what makes him so popular. Carson puts me to sleep. Talk about low energy...good grief. |

Trump wants to round up 11 million "aliens" and bus them to Auschwitz. That's about it. Gee, what a surprise analysis by Foad. If I have it right, you think we need more illegal aliens, the economy is fine, there are plenty of jobs available, spending levels need to be higher, the $19 trillion dept needs to be bigger, the IRS needs more pages of regulations, government should take more from the workers in taxes, we need more regulations on people and businesses, a terrorist attack here and there is fine, no need to increase military spending, we don't need to repatriate overseas earnings, we need to tax it, no need to try and improve our trade, currency manipulation is not real. Oh, they all had budget and deficit busting plans to lower taxes for the rich. The rich are who pay the taxes, the top 10% pay almost 68% of taxes, the bottom 50% only paid 3% of the taxes. (2011) Have you analyzed your federal tax bill? I only pay 2% to 3% in federal taxes. Figure $80K of income, two SEP's $7,500, an HSA $7,650, $12,400 standard deduction, deduction for 1/2 of FICA paid, about $6,000, 3 dependent deductions at $3,900 ea. this totals $52,750. If you subtract $52750 from $80,000 you have $27,250 of taxable income. Tax table says tax due of $3181, however with a college tuition tax credit of $1,351, that leaves $1,830 of federal taxes due. 1830 / 80,000 = 2.3% tax rate on $80,000. I probably missed some deductions, this was off the top of my head. I don't feel I need a lower tax rate, give it to the guy paying $100,000 tax bill. What is your Federal tax percentage? Do you really need a tax cut? Mikek Mikek |

I thought it would have been simulcast on Fox or Foxnews. Mikek |

Whatever *you* think the issues are, the GOPer candidates don't have the answers/solutions. What they have are little chunks of red meat they toss out to their base voters who, like you, think they've heard something to make them start to salivate. |
