    "Market transactions are voluntary exchanges in which both buyers and sellers believe the exchanges benefit them. The only entity that can actually take income is the government. So, Warren has it exactly backwards.

    American workers have voluntarily given their incomes to everyone who receives those incomes, in exchange for groceries, automobiles, smart phones, and more. Meanwhile, the government forcibly takes money from taxpayers. That’s the price we pay for government goods and services.

    Government takes wealth from American workers. People who receive income from market transactions get it through voluntary and mutually agreeable exchanges.

    Warren’s view on capitalist exploitation is completely consistent with Karl Marx’s. Meanwhile, look at the massive increase in everyone’s standard of living that has occurred between the time that Marx wrote about it and Warren proposed policies to reverse it."

    Aren't you just against women and Cherokees?

    My mother, sister, and wife are all women. My parents told me I have a little bit of Native American blood in me.

    American workers voluntarily...? In the libertine fascism of the LP party, American workers are to be forced, no volunteering, to do the bidding of every reprobate who makes a demand of them.

    I just read that the LA Rams football team is getting a new sports complex, over three times the size of Disney land. The poor taxpayers get to buy that as a gift for the millionaires who are employees by the Rams and the billionaires who own the Rams. I've lost count of the number of stadiums given to the Rams in the last few decades. If we didn't have such a fascist left and a worthless right, instead of phony proposals of higher taxes on the rich (any tax rate increase on the rich would be offset by bigger loopholes), we'd cut the rich off of welfare, yet that's not even on the table.

    You're free to refute any of my arguments, which you've been completely unable to do. Championing immorality is libertine. Wanting to ban "all discrimination" is fascism.

    I've twice posted a link of the the last LP presidential candidate equating religious freedom with allowing murder, and who also wants the government to ban "all discrimination". I've pointed out the LP platform encourages harassment of people who practice freedom of association. I pointed that even though free speech is a huge issue now, the only LP plank having any thing to do with free speech is a green light for the tech oligopoly to go on censoring conservative people. I give the evidence and you whine that I'm lying, but you don't show that I'm wrong.

    Yeah, Warren is a liar so she will play the female card to blame men for her inevitable defeat. The Dems need to run a blue dog or some other sort of pragmatist if they want respect.

    Back before the Left's identity politics made Indians look so bad, many white people fantasied about having Indian blood. Fauxahontas grew up in that time. But, Warren knew it was fantasy, or at least that she didn't have any evidence to back it up.

    Biden is a top tier candidate because he doesn't obsess with identity politics, but his Jim Crow past and his boasting of quid pro quo with the Ukraine has hurt him. Pete B. moved up to a top tier candidate once he got over groveling to Black Lives Matter which dominated his first few months of the race. C. Harris was a top tier candidate until she started obsessing with identity politics, and now she blames her bad poll numbers on white racism and male sexism. How does Harris explain her once high numbers, or Hillary's high numbers, or Obama's high numbers? Being a racist demagogue means never having to explain yourself.

    Trump is a better man than anyone the Democrats are running.

    The next President to face a Republican House will be impeached on Inauguration Day because the Dems want a banana republic forever.

    No one dares say that the best reason to oppose illegal immigration is so socialist immigrants (or their children) don't turn America into the countries they trashed and left.

    The old America is gone forever. We are now overwhelmed with foreigners who need welfare for the rest of their lives because they can't even read and write in their own language. We have so many people who can't speak English that we are the new Tower of Babel. Elizabeth Warren is just another Nimrod. She is an habitual liar.
