    What a very nice way of explaining what voting republican in state and local elections can do. Oh, wait,

    I get it, Joe. You want me to vote Dem. Beating that drum in every response isn't really necessary.

    Meanwhile in Arizona, the clock was turned back to 1873 when  women were still chattels.

    Rolling back the clock to a time when women couldn't vote is probably not a good plan.

    My memory is that you didn’t really like Trump, but felt it was more important to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House, so you voted for him.

    Id submit that Trump is a greater threat to how our country operates;

    You m' lady have made THE best logic statement for consideration.

    If a few others don't vote owing to your opinions and Trump is elected you will own that.

     Someone came up with this in the 70's - It's all your fault if you don't vote. Well, Joe. It's not. If NOBODY voted there would still be an electoral vote and if they didn't vote, congress would vote.

    It's all part of the Illuminatus plan to own the world. Ya know, Latin for we be fucked while the light is on.

    And it should be noted that even the republican scholars polled consistently put Trump in the bottom five.

    Yeah, but they are merely MINO's. :)

    I'm going to share the following link. I find it interesting that it encompasses poll type/politician/institution in the dropdowns and then reports who did the research and who funded the research.

    As to your points on JFK vs. Nixon, etc. We all learn by looking back "retrospectively." Unfortunately, that doesn't help in the decision making for future leadership. I've voted for Democrats - admittedly on a local level primarily because they were more fiscally conservative than their republican opponents professed.

    Anyway, I don't think either team has a good choice and am faced with not voting for a P at all.

    Please give specific, provable examples of Biden doing those things.

    Your googlefu broke? Take each one and put Biden in front of it. Then become an informed reader.

    The list of times Trump has done them is pretty long.

    No argument. 

    Both of them are pieces of shit that I won't vote for . . . And, be honest; you're just voting for the lesser. That's where we're at. Not who we're "for;" who we're against.

    Curtis, you're profile lists you as jumping at AZ, with two jumps. It would be irresponsible for someone on the Internet to guide you on a purchase at this time. There are great Instructors and Riggers at the DZ there. Please ask them to give you some guidance on what you should be jumping this early. We don't know your skillset. My advice to new jumpers has always been - Finish your A License and then let's sit down and talk about gear choices. And, we would begin with your reserve size first and build a rig around that.

    The issue is raising taxes to pay for what you are getting now, so you can balance the budget.

    I'm in favor of a balanced budget act/law/amendment.

    The question is - how do you do that with as little damage to the economy as possible?  I would suggest that a very progressive tax (i.e. taxing rich people a lot more than middle income, and middle income more than low income) is the most effective, least damaging way to do that.

    I agree.
