These are just some of my thoughts of politics.

Don't be an ass if you don't agree with me. We each have different opinions. I respect yours and you should respect mine.

I saw this on my cousin’s wife’s facebook.  The fact that this doesn’t factor in inflation bugs the shit out of me.  Also, I am pretty sure that the data the graphic maker used was flawed, because the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan cost a ton of money that would be added to our debt.
For shame, graphic maker.  Learn about CPI.

If you are going to complain about the National Defense Authorization Act,

you better have read the frickin’ bill.  It only says that the military can detain covered persons and then defines covered persons as people who had a hand in 9/11 or are members/supporters of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.  It specifically says that US citizens and legal US residents are exempt, meaning WE CAN’T RANDOMLY BE DETAINED FOR NO REASON.  Stop calling the bill ‘fascist.’ 

I was just reading some comments on a news article discussing the money that is currently in the market.

And someone seriously commented that if we wanted there to be more available money, that the mint should print more money.  Pretty sure that will just lead to inflation…  People really need to understand how this stuff works…

With 13.9 million American’s unemployed, now is not the time to end unemployment benefits.

What's your major? I'd be interested to talk to you about economics, since my knowledge of it all is basic. Or politics in general, really.

Applied Economics and Statistics with an emphasis in Agribusiness.  Pretty much, my major is all about managing agriculture firms and maximizing profits all while dealing with the policies that influence the economy.

Yeah, I was trolling. I'm mostly conservative economically, but tax cuts for the wealthy are bullshit.

I knew you were trollin’.  I am extremely picky about my economics, mainly because that’s a majority of my major.  I am an independent.  Mainly because I don’t like identifying myself with a party.

But the wealthy are the job creators. Bahaha.

Not exactly.  :P  Trickle down is not that effective.

What about your views on drug testing people on welfare?

I think it is fair to test people on welfare for drug use.  I mean, their welfare check comes from tax dollars.  Tax dollars should not be used to fund someone’s drug addiction.  If you want to do drugs, pay for it on your own dime, not mine.

What is your personal view on taxation of the wealthy?

I think that wealthy people should have to pay the same tax percent as everyone else.  They shouldn’t get special treatment.  It isn’t fair to other hardworking people.
