Why Do You Support Trump?
@MayCaesar ;-How are those estimates initial? This will be the projected outcome down the line. What do you mean by both the governmental spending being incredibly inefficient? How will the end result be a net gain for all groups of people? Where are you getting this information from?-What empirical data do you have to demonstrate that Obama’s policies have led to such debt growths and skyrocketing healthcare costs? What are these pushes he made against congress? How did it erode political culture and what way has it eroded? Obama engaged in an economic deal with Iran to lift sanctions off of the nation so that it, in turn, wouldn’t develop a nuclear weapon, according to the BBC.

-But, how did Trump learn from his mistakes if he kept making them over and over again? That very fact seems to contradict your notion that he gained some important degree of business wisdom.
-Correction to your assertion: He can no longer be financially dependent on his father. He certainly was for the time his father was alive.
-How was Trump rich before he inherited his father’s wealth? And, how did he put it to good use if he failed to successfully maintain a stable business model for himself?

- Those estimates refer to the initial flow of resources; they are only partially correlated with the actual income value. The government may be spending disproportionally less on the poor nowadays than the benefit they receive from having to pay a lower tax, but since the governmental spending is so incredibly inefficient, I would expect the net gain for all groups of people.Aranea said:@MayCaesar ;-Can you elaborate more on the international perspective?-The tax bill that you approve of will, according to the Washington Post, flow 82.8% of the tax cuts to the top 1%. Additionally, the Washington Post also states the top quintile actually receives 107.3% of the tax changes, because taxes will actually INCREASE for the folks in the lowest, second-lowest and middle quintiles.

-How did Obama shake America with his policies and which economic policies are responsible? Also, Trump has ‘bowed’ to dictators as well. A primary example is with Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines.
-Trump is by no means a fit businessman. He is in fact a terrible one. He, as stated in the Washington Post, filed for bankruptcy a total of six times. This includes Trump’s Taj Mahal, two other Atlantic City casinos, and Trump Entertainment Resorts.

-Also, Trump is not even self-made, for his entire wealthy status, in his entire life, has been dependent on his father’s wealth, as stated by Bloomberg. In light of all this, I fail to see how he is a notable businessman.
- One of the highest governmental debt growths in the history of the US, healthcare costs skyrocketing, erosion of the political culture due to the constant push against the Congress, coercing the senators to accept his proposals, etc.
Trump is no saint, but he did not go as far as to, say, establish wide economical relations with some of the worst regimes on Earth, such as the Cuban and the Iranian one.
- The end product is what matters. If you ever start your own business, you will encounter a competition so fierce that breaking even will seem almost impossible at first. Trump has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, yet he is still in business. This shows that he learns on his mistakes and knows how to utilise all the resources at his disposal efficiently, including the institute of bankruptcy, in order to multiply his capital.
- He started with a solid capital, but he multiplied it many times, and his father has been long dead, so he cannot have been dependent on it "his entire life". Most people inheriting a tremendous wealth squander it or lose it to a series of poor investments. Trump got pretty rich even before he inherited his father's wealth, and he put that wealth to good use.
I am not a fan of Trump, but I give all people credit where it is due. -

Would you vote for a centrist if he or she ran for President?
@AlofRI
Our Founding Fathers' intended system was arguably much closer to libertarianism, than to what we have nowadays. The Fathers argued for strong state, municipal and individual rights and weak federal government, barely restricted free market economy, lax immigration system (there was no immigration system as such until the early 20th century, and anyone could just walk in to the country), military decentralization, and so on.
The comparison to Russia is very bizarre. Russia is an authoritarian dictatorship with a broken protectionist "corporate state" economy, similar to the one Mussolini's Italy featured. Economical libertarianism is actually closer to something like what is currently in place in Singapore, where the state has barely any influence on the market. And that system has proven to work incredibly well, even despite the tyrannical form of the government severely restricting people's rights.

Vaccinations should NOT be forced, change my mind.

Should abortion be regulated, or abolished?
Seems to me I remember a post I commented on yesterday where our friend, YeshuaBought, stated "My body, my choice". In that context I didn't agree with her (vaccinations). In THIS context I "think" I agree with her …. a little. ;-)
It seems to me when some pull too hard in one direction, others are going to start pulling harder in the opposite! We, and the SCOTUS, made decisions a good while ago that were reasonable. Some decided to work against that in a totally opposite direction. Lately I have seen the push back on that to another extreme. Give an inch, take a mile!
I am STILL for Roe v Wade. A woman's choice, after a talk with her doctor(s). Leave it be, or some will try as hard to take it to extremes as others do to overturn it. CHOICE. If you are religious, let your god handle it from there. -

Show me abortion in the Constitution.John_C_87 said:@piloteer ;
A united State of Woman cannot/should not constitutionally make the claim of complete official end to life independent to the law without addressing the declaration of War they have made involving The House of Representatives, and Executive office.
A woman has a Constitutional obligation to separate herself, by description of the process abort which takes place medically involving woman in several different ways. As not only whole truth but in a united state as well. The legal precedent created by science is that the term Pregnancy abortion is legally too great of a liability to describe the procedures performed. To spite the fact and truth the word might detail takes place.
The united state is the dangers in relationship human reproduction can create a Mental duress. Female specific amputation describes a process to correct an abortion that has occurred on ovulation. -

@Ampersand ;
Why are you asking that question? How does it influence the self-incriminations created against all woman? So in basic principle you are saying a man tried to murder you? You had been assaulted and did not die as a result of the attack on you? A female specific amputation was necessary to reduce the risk of death as the result of the attack? Rape is the description of attack which is an attempted murder by the risk involved after the attack?.

@Ampersand ;
So people with absolutely no qualifications should be able to conduct abortions? In any kind of unsanitary condition?
Yes by not having sex. The truth is they do have abortions all the time but chose other names to identify the abortion with.

It should only be regulated by the decision of the pregnant woman!
