I do not have kids and I was not duped into that. I just never understood the appeal. I disliked being a kid. I do have three tattoos and have done a lot of drugs.

Now, I can't even if I want to. Maybe adoption, but you can probably surmise why we are waiting.

I just don’t think we’re all supposed to be rich. I lived a shitty average suburban life until decades of investing paid off when real estate in Texas and the stock market paid off. Dumb luck, but I’ve always been responsible. This has always happened though in the US to those who are responsible. The market and real estate prices have gone up since WW2. This isn’t a secret, nor is it exclusionary. I think it’s a you can bring a horse to water but can’t force it to drink situation, /shrug

That said, if someone wants to throw $300 billion out equitable through the child tax credit or similar programs and pay for it by raising my taxes by 5%, sure, why not. I just don’t see it leading to parents demanding straight A’s and paying for piano lessons, which would lead to children capable of improving their own material condition

wanna know what would be great?

a fat tax - tax the fuck out of people who dont take care of themselves and consume way more than they should

What's funny is that this is precisely what I think the international community should do to all Americans, if they had the ability to do so.

I mean, other countries too, but definitely America

Make every bullet five thousand dollars.

We dont need gun control. We need bullet control.

Make all bullets out of plastic, like wiffle ball bullets.

Unless your feeding the gun to your victim, it doesnt work without the ammo.

You tried that.

Doesn't work lol

What do you actually find appealing about the Republican platform? I see you as the least psychotic conservative here, and I've seen you express opinions three times now that would get you banned from conservative circles I used to move in.

Maybe my perception is screwy, idk.

I come from Iran. I like the Republican Party of Eisenhower, IE limited government and personal responsibility. The angry, pro Russian catholic theocratic Republican platform currently representing the party has not very much appeal to me

But I understand why people would like DeSantis over AOC. The left is jsut as crazy but in different ways, that said, I see Biden as a corrupt center right shithead, which is better than people who are incompetent or insane

[Basanos]

I don't think AOC will run for president, but I would vote for her over any of the existing scumbags despite my problems with her. If it came to Joe versus Ron, you going for Ron?

Assuming Donald doesn't screw the pooch and somehow torpedo Ron's campaign. Civil war within the GOP would be good for America.
