In theory we could have a tax system progressive enough where the majority wouldn't be subsidizing the higher earning minority.
It's Pete Buttigieg and he cannot lie!
I think you're missing the importance of majority/minority in the discussion of subsidization.
Perhaps I am. Anyway, aren't we hoping a majority of future generations of Americans get a postsecondary education?
He will announce he is a Michelin Star chef and will prepare for us his signature dish of seared crispy skin duck breast with asparagus foam.
Yes. 2 years community college OR trade school is what I’d like to see in the near term.
Does he bang dudes at all? seems pretty gay.
If the criticism were that Pete Buttitieg is not black enough and Kamala Harris is not gay enough, I could maybe see the point. But the reverse is just ridiculous. Harris is comfortably more black than the median politician.
The people who are doing this might stop for a second to consider what type of people ask if their candidates are white enough.
But we already do. The US government used my tax dollars to spend over 50 billion in financing college educations for the last year I've seen numbers. That financing leaving many of those people in so much debt that for example they can't buy houses which non college educated carpenters build. Or cars that largely non college educated people build. So when we fund college maybe we need to look at the ripple effect on their entire economy and not just bumper sticker it. His 'progressive problem " is short sighted and kind of sounds like Hillary.Maurile Tremblay said:
Time, long past time really, for a radical rethinking of how we educate. We pay a fortune, and waste tremendous time and resources to certify and document our youth, but do we give them the tools for success, or do we pretend we did when they get a certificate which is paid for, but maybe not earned. Colleges have increased costs many fold beyond inflation for 50 plus years now, but are they educating?Arsenal of Doom said:
Yeah, I think this is correct. We're also at a weird point where it is somewhat hard to predict what skills will really be valuable/needed in the mid-long term economy. This has been true to some extent for a couple of decades, and I think it will accelerate and get worse before it gets better.
That’s the shallow attacks I’d expect too.
Sad to think that if you are right, it means that a lot of people would prefer a morally questionable (at best) man who admitted to sexually assaulting women to a seemingly morally straight man who happens to love another man.
What percentage of voters do you consider "anti-gay"? What percentage of those "anti-gay" would vote Trump over any Democratic candidate?
I'm O.K. with a gay candidate as long as they don't do "gay things" during televised debates. "Gay things" are icky and they disturb my world view. He won''t be expressing his devotion to his partner, will he, because that would be awkward.
Can't freak people out more than Trump and Ivanka can it? Now that is some icky behavior.
Well he's not winning Wyoming but the states that are going to matter it wouldn't be a big enough issue.
I just don't know why we cannot get folks in government with good old fashioned values, people like Brett Kavanaugh or Donald Trump.
All about exposure. The more people come out the more people figure out it isn't what they've been told. And as mentioned anyone who won't vote for him because he's gay in the general wasnt voting Democrat anyway. Now in the primaries if its perceived as an electability issue that may become a problem. He needs to be sure to get in front of that.
Sarcastic, but also true! Treating women like #### used to be acceptable. Works on multiple levels.
There's no answer to this he can give. It won't be an issue.
I meant be sure to get that polling and others our to show that most people dont care.
Hey we've already cleared the hurdled of electing a man who admitted to sexual assault and wishes he could have sex with his own daughter. Pretty sure most of America would be OK with a competent gay candidate. IMO, it says more about the people who would protest then it does the candidate.
Gotcha. I just don't really think it's even a topic at this point unless he had some overly aggressive agenda.
I think that is a hard question to answer.
Let me ask this way, then, since you're much better informed than i. What is the maximum % of the popular vote you think a cowboy candidate of populist stripe can garner against a Democrat who hasn't entirely embarrassed themself with post-nom scandal or similar foolishness?
Trump can't get 50% of the vote in the current climate.
