*not reposting Ms. Tinkerbelly's post* But wanted to let you know I have reported it as hate speech.

I really tried not to say anything, but I don't want anyone to look at this thread and in any way think its okay to suggest human beings should be shot.

I guess I would rather see both the public and the candidates focus their conversation on how to fix situations rather than who to blame for them. There will be plenty of time to figure out who gets what once there’s anything to get. The United States is deeply in debt. The systems that we use for distributing benefits and entitlements to the people who need them is so broken that we likely waste more money on inefficiencies then we spend actually helping people. It’s my belief that we could do a lot more with the tax revenues already being collected if we would do the hard work of revamping our benefit distribution systems utilizing the tools that have been developed in this century. That of course, will depend on the Congress and Senate doing their respective jobs.

When it comes to folks volunteering themselves and others to pay higher taxes or other folks fighting hard to keep their incomes in their own pockets I think each case is different. A person paying something like 15 to 25% as their effective tax burden might well be willing to kick in a couple more percentage points. On the other hand, an individual already paying over 50% might be less willing to do so. Most people ultimately vote their wallet. People receiving benefits paid for by others are very likely to vote for more. The folks paying for them are less likely to do so.

I don’t like either extreme end of the stick and just wish there were more moderate choices.

It is of course your right to report as you wish.

I stand by my statement, although this may not have been the place to express an honest opinion. I’ll work on not saying everything that crosses my mind.

Have a nice day.

Folks-

Most of you do really well expressing your point of view without resorting to racism, racist name-calling, or generally gross Fuckery. I appreciate that with my whole heart, really I do.

My heart can’t take seeing anti-immigrant speech or open racism on these forums so I’m dismissing anyone who calls immigrants “parasites” from this space.

Immigrants are human beings.

Period.

Thanks,

Angie.

Folks..

Y'all really need to take a step back and view or at least attempt to view the trauma words like this cause BIPOC people's..

To come in here and disregard any Latinos/Hispanic people and their families is disconcerting and traumatizing.

Look around this vast network and think how safe queers who aren't undocumented feel, or immigrants..

You create an unsafe environment for us, but that's typically how systematic oppression goes.


Way to go, way to create a "safe queer space "
