    Were you not suggesting we require all the tax breaks over the last however many years be paid back in full? If not I just have been mixing you up with one of the other dozens of far left crazies I've been chatting with.

    If you just want to repeal tax breaks that didn't have a guaranteed life that hasn't been reached yet, then that's fine I would probably agree to it depending on the side effects it might cause the middle and lower classes.

      Yes, you must be thinking of someone else who also isnt a radicalized right wing fruitcake. There is no reason that any of them should have a guaranteed life. They were all sponsored by the ones who benefit the most from them. In the words of TFG to his billionaire associates after his cuts passed: "Congratulations, you all just got a lot richer!" The cuts are destroying the economy and they should ALL be repealed, including the permanent ones.

        You realize your ideas that are also being suggested by most people here are radical, right? Radical left is a thing, and this place is overflowing with it.

        It's one thing to suggest doing something about the cuts, but most here don't think that's nearly enough, proposing literal theft and preventing movement outside the country. I would argue it's just as insane here as it is in far right circles, just a different kind of insane.

          Radical according to whom? By what standard? That of corporations, stockholders, and fascists?

              That's really indeterminate; and besides, the US has no right to judge what is and isn't radical given it's horrid history of of hatred, violence, greed, authoritarianism, and oppression.

                I mean we are talking about a US issue, so yeah it does matter what the US thinks on US issues, and it really doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks.

                There aren't many countries out there who don't have a history of that stuff, I don't see why the issues of the past matter at all in this scenario.
