Every major airline runs 11 flights a day from LA to DC. How many flights run from Wisconsin to DC? 1 and it fits like 80 people. It’s just not possible for Trump voters to get there en masse and then pay rack rate $600 a night to stay at a Holiday Inn in Virginia. They’re too old to camp out in their trucks. They hate DC anyway, they just wanted to send in their guy to troll it and dismantle everything they’ve built to protect themselves politically.
Regarding migration, try getting a tourist visa to any one of those 7 countries as an American and let me know how that goes. We take visa waiver travel for granted. The US and the UK citizens can go to almost 115 countries on demand. The world is set up in a very cruel way for everyone else.
If you want to get mad at someone, think about why Syrian refugees can only migrate to Turkey or Kurdistan. It’s because Iran won’t grant them transit visas so they can get to India or Pakistan or anywhere east. It’s because they are the wrong type of muslim, sunni not shia. The world is fucked up.
US cluster bombs are littered all over Yemen because we sold them to the Saudis for a proxy war. It’s a very dangerous war zone with a lot of people who are angry at the US. Like Libya and Somolia this is a place with effectively no government. If you are a bond villian this is where you take up residency in real life. Set up your own security and hide. Then the great satan sends in drones to try and kill your whole crew, taking out a lot of innocents in the process. The world is ugly.
I’d love it if we could give 7 billion US passports to the world. But most American people wouldn’t like their standard of living after that. It would look something like India but maybe worse. I love india but it would horrify the north american middle class, environmentally and otherwise. Imagine a culture where it is truly legal to be poor and use ingenuity. No one mandates laws that make a car $33,000. If you can attach a chainsaw motor to a bicycle you can drive on the highway with your two children on back and no helmets. In the US I think 10 cop cars would shoot you for child abuse on the spot.
Regarding taxes Trump’s house plan is moving the standard deduction from about $10k to about $30k. The result is only 10% of filers will need to itemize. There are some corner cases where people with a $1,000,000 mortgage will effectively lose the ability to deduct that because of caps. We can probably shrink the IRS by half of its workforce if it goes through because everyone will just “pay their fair share” in a standard way.
I think it is fucked up that middle class families pay $20k a year in taxes when they could be using that money for child daycare or elder care for parents.
Corporate tax of 15% would make the US the best place to do business in the world bar none.
Lastly, no Americans rights have been or will be taken away ever. LGBT protections were extended by order. I’m not on board with this supreme court judge because of his Hobby Lobby ruling, which was the worst.
