I think they knew very well. It was political suicide in the south pushing those policies but they did it anyway because the alternative was massive social unrest.

Its a shame it would take something similar like that for Congress to actually pass some progressive gun control laws that would make this country safer.....

Clinton didn't mean to be the President that expanded the prison population further than any president in history...he just had to breh !! :damn:

He got the 23 million jobs for us so we can let it slide this time breh...stoppppp!!! :damn:

agreed, - I think it's safe to say every president has their pros and cons, but I don't think any of them set out to help black people. Clinton probably marketed himself this way the best.

of course it's has a bigger impact on a 1 gallon of milk. Just like it would be if a poor person and a rich person bought a Maserati - but guess whose more likely to purchase more goods (volume) and or more expensive goods (price).

but do you think a rich person is purchasing the same amount of goods as a poor person?

SMH

you're playing with statistics like most of your High Education cats do and don't know a damn thing of what you're talking about. Yall fukkaz tooks some economics 101 and business statistics courses and think you know how to predict the impacts on tax code changes.

Also, no where did I say this was a good idea - I think it's constructive to have multiple economic "packages" in order to build relevant case studies. You totally disregarded point #3 - you can do the exact same thing with a flatter tax system by just toggling certain levers in the tax code.


People need food, water and shelter to survive.

They don't need luxury cars.

Thus @Domingo Halliburton and his assertion that a flat tax hurts the poor and benefits the rich at a disproportionate rate is valid.

I was just showing you with a 2nd grade example why that was. Do you need me to draw it out for you?

My little sister's father is in his mid 50s and he is someone who is always on that Clinton steez...using idiotic reasoning like "when clinton was president everyone had a job and everyone was hiring", "clinton was a damn good president'...

even though he gets overcredited with the economy during the dot com and housing bubbles ...in fact i would say Obama contributed more to those 10.6 million jobs he has created in his term than Clinton did to generate the 23 million jobs under his term....and even if he was responsible for most....why do Black folks continue to give him this pass....breh i don't know if your black or not....but our people actually wrote a book on him being the "First black president'...just straight up sad shyt....saying cause he lived in Harlem he was "one of us" just pathetic all around..

I know people vote on you based on if they have money in their pockets and that is understandable...but there comes a point when people go overboard with determining a President being great just strictly on the economy....

the most positively impactful thing Clinton did is something most of these Clinton apologists don't even know about....the family medical leave act

the dude was basically responsible for dropping the ball on Bin Laden, failed on Health care in 94...failed on education,etc....

Go to Obama's WhiteHouse.Gov website and look at the dozens of thing he has down executive wised....the ideas and policies he implemented....ask the closest clinton apologist you know and they wont remember if Clinton did any of those...

its become sad how brainwashed people can be...

look at how Hillary is already being said to be the winner in 2016 and people aren't even asking her what she would do policy wise ... :snoop:

and you're totally incorrect

do any budget, any morn knows that a rich person is buying higher volume and more expensive items - they are paying the bulk of the taxes in the US.

you made a stupid crayon example that over-simplifies a realistic budget of a poor or a rich person - yeah 1 gallon of milk makes a big different. but rich person is also buying a more expensive car, has more expensives property or volume of property, clothes etc etc. so yeah a poor person will have a hard time making ends meet with a flat tax - but guess what ? they are having a hard time anyway - hence why they are poor! so don't be ridiculous because you're basically saying the rich should just pay taxes and poor people - who typically are the ones who are in need of the social programs taxes support - should get not pitch in.

then you try to lump the middle class together with the poor when the makeup of that is totally different. If I ddn't have a date with a trini chic, I 'd take you to school from a tax and finance point of view with real example of a budget. I'm already late, because I' passionate about making guys like you eat their words.

you talk about food water and shelter - all things that poor peole typically have subsidized in todays social America. I'll be back to get at you some more.

so you post this foolishness without providing a link

here I got you

http://dailycurrant.com/


the top page storoy is

"Al-Qaeda Member Elected to California City Council"

next story after that is

"Obama Announces Two-Year Golfing Trip"


we are trying to have intellectual discussions here and you're posting crap.

Hahahha




An active member of Al-Qaeda has been elected to a California city council in an election that saw a record low voter turnout.

Sidi Baba “Bob” Al-Booey, who campaigned under the slogan “Call me Bob” for an open city council seat in Agrestic in Los Angeles County with a tough-on-crime, family values platform that includes enacting Sharia law, received 54 percent. Only 21.5 percent of registered voters in the suburb of 5,300 voted in the election, keeping in line with low voter turnout in other communities throughout the region.

Booey, who manages a county airfield, credited his victory to the support of his family and members of his terrorist cell, low-information voters, and senior citizens who couldn’t read or understand their ballots but still voted.

“I’m not surprised I won, really,” he said. “I’m a political outsider, and people really responded to my folksy ‘Call me Bob’ slogan. I never hid the fact I want to kill President Barack Obama, which really seemed to help. Even better, the young, black people and Latinos, and single women in Agrestic didn’t even bother to vote, which always benefits us conservatives.”

“Quite frankly,” he added, “most voters I spoke to just wanted me to promise I wouldn’t raise taxes.”

Although local newspapers and Agrestic’s small Muslim community, citing Booey’s fundamentalist views, encouraged voters to elect anyone but him, they had little influence with residents such as plumber Hank Schrader.

“Yeah, I heard the Los Angeles Times said Bob was an extremist and should be in prison instead of on the city council,” he said. “But the Times is a liberal rag anyway, so I always vote the opposite of whatever they say.”

Political Sheikh-up

Instead of bombing Agrestic City Hall as he originally planned, Booey said he will work with the government to enact change.

“I bring fresh ideas to the city council, which is in need of new leadership,” Booey said. “So my first priority will be to strip all power from the women on the council, including our woman mayor, and force them to wear full veils and to only vote when they have their husbands’ permission.

“I would also like to set up sister city relationships with Riyadh, Karachi and Khartoum. I have many colleagues in those cities, and they would benefit from a safe home base here in America.

“I also plan to work closely with the Agrestic Police Department in setting up Sharia law, which will include banning all music and drugs, forbidding adultery and sodomy, and cutting off the hands of criminals. I think it will make Agrestic safer and bring down crime in the area.”

Roland Martin: So can we, if we go out to the polls, can we say, we have ‘souls to the polls’ on Sunday, can we do ‘soul food after we vote’?

Michelle Obama: Absolutely, I give everyone full permission to eat some fried chicken after they vote only after — if you haven’t voted…(laughter.)

Martin: Just checking!

Even his own wife got the out of touch statements from her
...That was almost as bad as Magic Johnson's "Michael I didn't know you liked fried chicken" comment at his funeral

They deserved to lose :camby:

All it did was make it so people like me have no faith left in blue dogs. Dems are in trouble. My generation is entirely demoralized. But Dems will not lose in 2016...you are going too far as always. People will show up for the opportunity to vote for the first female president.
:wow: Trust in white women brehs...
