I have never watched (or even heard of) the Fox Business Network. I had to hunt around on the cable listings to even find the channel it is on. Watching the pre-debate yada, yada, yada going on right now. Lou Dobbs and some other people I have never heard of. I have a sense already that this is going to suck. |

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 |

Cutting taxes for the wealthy does not solve these problems, it simply puts more wealth they don't need in their pockets. The funniest one, though, is the implication that we need to spend more on the military. Wasn't it that idiot Rubio who suggested that? We do need to spend more on care for veterans, but the money for that can easily be found within the existing military budget, which should be gradually cut by at least 50%. |

Both assumed the US was too weak militarily to respond. |

Mike made several points aliens, jobs, economy, spending, debt, etc. With which of those points do you disagree? You sidestepped the question. |

Both assumed the US was too weak militarily to respond. I don't believe Japan's decision that it was time to attack had to do with any perceived military weakness in the United States. The Japanese knew the order of battle of U.S. forces in the Pacific and the ability of U.S. industrial plants to turn out whatever was needed in relatively short order. In any event, the U.S. managed to hand Japan a decisive defeat at the battle of Midway about six months after the Pearl Harbor attack. |
