    If The Democrats get their way and start taxing rich Americans at ridiculous rates that will drive the entrepreneurs to Canada. Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal would receive the lions share. Canada would become a huge bubble because America has ten times anything we have here. If Americans need money for social programs why don’t they simply bring their military home. Talk about a bubble, The American military and defense budget is a huge bubble. If they go ahead and tax the rich the military will never get funded and it will collapse. Don’t these politicians use their brains for more than a hat warmer. DT

    The first really important question is, “are the social programs proposed a good. Or bad thing addition to our society”?.

    Will be back to you on this one in a minute.

      Walter to Cronkite to Carson on the Tonight Show: “TV news is not enough. Its too filtered, too compressed. … you have to read newspapers, news magazines, books…” That was March 2, 1982, a year after he retired. Walter retired at 65 though he could have gone into his 70’s, IMHO because he was tired of the network telling him what he could and could not report or comment on.

    Once again you show your exceptional understanding of our complex issues treating to destroy America and our freedom. Your guest however is clueless. He recommends going to the NY times Washington post and wall street journal knowing that these are biased. They are not only biased but knowingly put out false info “fake news”. The internet has both good and bad however you did not mention any good ones. At the top of the internet good list is KEreport.com then Infowars.com WND epic times. If some of these seem controversial that is because they are under attack by the fake news MSM. You are again correct when you say that you can not take Beto or Cortez seriously. Any media that does take these two seriously is fake news. (Propaganda) this includes NYT WSJ WPOST.
