The question someone in your shoes needs to ask is, can he do those things. Considering that most of them require Congress to cooperate and that Trump has spent most of his campaign making enemies with Congressional leaders on both sides, the answer is No.

There's an old saying, look at the intelligence of the average person and remember that half of all people are stupider than that.

Pe It wouldn't be the first time conservatives conducted a falseflag against themselves. Remember the girl who branded her face with "B" and said it was Obama supporters, but we later found out she did it to herself l?

First, the theory of evolution does not claim that we decended from monkeys, it claims, based on evidence, that humans and apes have a common ancestry. Second, depictions of black people as apes or monkeys have been around for decades. It was to portray black people as being less evolved and...

This the second time that one of my local politician has made news for bigotry and refused to accept the consequences. Earlier this year my pastor wished a blessed Ramadan to Muslims in our community on our church sign. He regularly does this type of thing for other faiths. This led a local...

Stockholders, by definition, are worried about the return on investment only, myself included. It's up to the leadership of the companies to balance the desires of stockholders with the goals of creating and growing a company that is sustainable in the long-term. Companies that do this well...

Corporate taxes are really a canard. Taxes are based on reportable profit. No well run company should ever show reportable profit. My wife works at a tax office. Her boss will tell small business owners that are projecting a profit to find a place to invest the money or pay themselves a bonus.

Your view of demand is incredibly faulty. First advertising does not increase demand, it increases market share. Second demand is present in the absence of supply. People didn't want smartphones because they were invented, smartphones were invented because people wanted them. If your view of...

Your view of economics seems to be that the rich supply wealth that trickles down. That is a false view. Wealth is created by the supply and demand cycle. If there is demand, supply will expand. Since supply employees people that buy things this increases demand. Thus the cycle goes. The...

I don't fault anyone for capitalizing on bad situations. That type of entrepreneurial attitude makes this country great. But hoping for a bad situation so that you can capitalize on it sounds sociopathic to me.

But you are failing to see that the rich are getting richer must faster. Just recently household income rone again to adjusted pre-Reagan levels. The difference is that then the average household had just over 1 wage earner. Today the average household has more than 2. Basically middle class...

So we should rely on accusations not the evidence? I don't know why I ask. Accusations pretty much all Trump supporters have. Every so-called Clinton scandal is marked by accusations without evidence. In fact when the accusations lead to investigation the facts point to no wrong doing...

Even if you are correct (you're not), the stimulus for supply side action is on the demand side. So artificially bolstering supply side won't boost economic activity because supply side reacts to demand stimulus not changes in itself. This is not theory. It's exactly why wealth is...

I have to laugh that Trump and his supporters are simultaneously claiming victory and making excuses for a loss.

Wrong again. Economic activity starts when the company identifies the opportunity and then has decided to act or not. The economic activity is the change in demand that lead to supply side reaction. With increased concentration of wealth at the top there will be inherently fewer opportunities...

T That polling data would have to predate the debate or be a mix of pre and post. The post debate polls will come out tomorrow and Friday.

By all honest accounts she won the debate pretty handily. Exactly how much of a bounce she gets from that we'll find out in a few days.

Wrong. Economic activity starts with the identification of an opportunity. In most cases this is driven by demand. A simple example is the creation of a new position by an employer. Do they create it because they want to or because they have the capital to? No. It is created because an...

Trumps talk of trade deals resonates well with most people. I agree with him on it. However, I think Trump comes across as very disingenuous on that topic since he chose to take advantage of those deals rather that hire American workers. Trump said Clinton hasn't done anything on the issues...

I watched CNN when their poll was announced. They were very clear that it was a poll of people who watched the debate and tgat it leaned Democratic. However, the result was so heavily toward Hillary that it overshadows any skewing in the poll.
