Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Sure let the fucking corpos pocket more money. That sure will help the "the middle class".

Speaking at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, the Democratic candidate in the November 5 presidential election said she would give tax credits to U.S. manufacturers for retooling or rebuilding existing factories and expanding "good union jobs," and double the number of registered apprenticeships during her first term.

While I understand your point of view, I think she is trying to find a middle ground to support businesses to boost the economy and people in the same time, that is not an easy task.

She had to counter the "communist" label Fat Ass is slapping on her every cult meeting. She did that and more

Everything left of fascism is communism to fascists. There's no benefit in compromising with terrorists.

Truly nuanced.

The “fucking corpos” are manufacturing in Mexico, Vietnam, and China. They don’t get the tax break.

The “guy I know who owns a machine shop” and “the car factory in Indiana with 10,000 union jobs that chooses to stay” are the intended recipients.

She's talking about rasing Corp tax then offering breaks to bring more jobs back to the US.

Amazon, Google and other giant companies aren't the goal. The goal is making massive greedy corps "pay thier fair share" vs trump cutting their taxes in half (15% vs 28%).

She specifically calls out bringing more manufacturing jobs back into the states. Steel and vehicle manufacturing. Shes also very pro union.

If trickle down doesnt work , then why do the only two major political parties in America keep shoving it down our throats?

Oh ...

It's because billionaires and corporations give billions to both parties....
