CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
How, exactly, did Trump do this? Was it the record high employment for blacks? Was it the tax cuts? California's problems were created by California politicians, idiot.
1)If you tax the rich into oblivion, businesses flee the country. This is fleeting, "cut off your nose to spite your face" circular logic.
2)The tax cuts brought in more indirect taxes than if they had been taxed at the pre-existing rate.
I'll simplify.
With the taxes that existed, the government brings in 5 apples.
With the tax cuts, which frees up funds, other taxes bring in 10 apples.
Notice, Pelosi and Schumer have absolutely no interest in debating Trump on economics. They cannot win there, nor do they want to give him a platform to make them look like economic clowns while he looks smart on the subject. It's like debating a surgeon on surgery when you work at PetSmart.
Nevertheless, the Democrats aren't telling you their policies because they can't win debates against Trump on policy. What would their stance be? We want to tax the hell out of you, open the border, abolish ICE? They'd be annihilated.
So what else is left? Straw Man, Appeal to Ignorance,
False Dilemmas, Slippery Slope, Circular Arguments, Hasty Generalizations, Red Herrings, Tu Quoque,
Causal Fallacy, Ad Hominems, Appeals to probability, argument from fallacy, base rate fallacy, conjunction fallacy, masked man fallacy, affirming a disjunct, Affirming the consequent, Denying the antecedent, Existential fallacy, Syllogistic fallacies, Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise, Fallacy of exclusive premises, quaternio terminorum, fallacy of four terms, Illicit major, negative conclusion from affirmative premises, Illicit minor, Fallacy of the undistributed middle, Modal fallacy, and putting him in Hobson's Choice and Morton's Fork as much as possible and hope to win elections on emotions over substance, common sense, and deductive and inductive logic.

Allowing businesses to pay their fair share of taxes is not the same thing as taxing "the rich into oblivion". Stop changing people's arguments for them you horribly corrupt little Nazi. The default condition should be that the rich pay their taxes the same as everybody else.
Because they already have most of the money by far. What was it you were literally just saying about circular logic? You're a pathetically corrupt, dishonest little cretin Bronto.
Because they already have most of the money by far.
Are you unable to answer the question nom? If we tax them more, and they leave, how does that help us? We don't wind up with more money, but with less, because they left...
Are you unable to answer the question, Bronto? Why are you accusing other people of using "circular logic" when that is precisely what you are using?
If we tax them more, and they leave, how does that help us?
It gives economic control back to the people who actually work for a living and ejects the parasites who get rich from other people's labour. Is that good enough for you buddy?

Your problem being, that per definition, that's not even similar to what I am doing. This might explain why you can't get a job and live in Mommy's basement still, eh nom?

Not really. If they take their businesses with them, we have no one to tax, the nation goes into a great depression, and we disappear, and that's if China and Russia don't take us over because there's no one in their way anymore.
Under the Republicans, the richest people in America pay LESS relative tax than ordinary working class people do, but of course you are only interested in giving us the parts of the story which fit into your corrupt, crooked little narrative, are you not?
What your statistics actually reveal is the size of the income gap in America between rich and poor.
Are you unable to answer the question nom? If we tax them more, and they leave, how does that help us? We don't wind up with more money, but with less, because they left...
And now we have less businesses to tax....
So your tax equals less money, but you upped the tax. Awesome. Now other businesses want to leave until you have few or none. Now who you gonna tax? The poor?
In 2014, the top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.3 percent of all individual income taxes while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.7 percent.

Let me get this straight buddy. You want these people to pay the rich's tax bill for them?
In 2017, an estimated 1 in 8 Americans were food insecure, equating to 40 million Americans including more than 12 million children.

False equivalnce.
1)Our "hungry" are not "the hungry" by most nations' standards. America is overfed.
2)We have tens of millions of illegals in America. Libs imported the hungry from other countries. People unable to speak English with no skills to get good jobs.
3)If you are able and hungry in America, you must have the brains and work ethic of a moth.
4)Your logic provides no answer to people who are slugs who refuse to work or try.
What do you do with the lazy in Marxist utopia? Feed the couch dwellers or make them work "their" fields? You make them work? Hey look, now you are the bourgeois, and we're right back where we started. We have to fix this broken Marxist system with something. Hey let's make a free market where everybody fends for themselves productionwise. Rinse, wash, repeat. Years pass. Someone gets jealous. Marxism. Someone gets mad because others are too lazy. Capitalism. Round and round we go into the mindless abyss of stupidity.
Our "hungry" are not "the hungry" by most nations' standards
Hungry means you don't have any food you dickhead. Its definition doesn't change dependent upon where you happen to be hungry.
We have tens of millions of illegals in America.
Right. Only illegal people get hungry. What was that you were literally just saying about false equivalence, you hopelessly stupid, corrupt little crook?
Libs imported the hungry from other countries
No, refugees flocked to the west because of Middle Eastern profit wars started by the Republican Party. Stop blaming your own mess on "libs" and "socialists".
People unable to speak English with no skills to get good jobs.
But you are barely able to speak English and you have no skills. Therefore, by your own logic you deserve to go hungry. At least English is not the native language of foreigners, so they have a relatively good excuse.
If you are able and hungry in America, you must have the brains and work ethic of a moth.
Sure Bronto. Blame the hungry for being hungry. Now explain to us again why you aren't literally a Nazi.
The fact of the matter is that the people with most should contribute most. If you don't like that then fuck off somewhere else, like Mexico.
There are no lazy people in Marxist Utopia, because Marxists already took all their money away and now they need to work like everybody else.
When you -- sorry, if you -- ever get around to reading about this Marxist Utopia you talk so much bullshit about, perhaps you would care to share with us how many hours a day people are expected to work in it. I think you will find it is half the hours they are expected to work under capitalism. It therefore makes very little sense for you to pretend lazy people are a burden on Marxism, when they very clearly are twice the burden on capitalism.
All you are ever interested in doing is turning the facts upside down mate. You're a corrupt, lying little toad and it's as simple as that.
However, under no circumstances should the super rich be paying a lower tax rate than ordinary working class people, and that is the state of the current situation. Please see:-
In 2007, by contrast, America’s 400 highest earners paid just 18.1 percent of their total incomes, after loopholes, in federal taxes.
If the poor don’t pay taxes, then all tax cuts are for the rich. Are you recommending a flat tax so that tax cuts benefit us equally before the tax law?
LMMFAO ! This linked article article shows how IGNORANT you leftist are !!!!
Come January, California will lose the distinction of being home to the richest man in Congress. More than a third of the lawmakers in the state's congressional delegation are millionaires, and Rep. Darrell Issa's wealth dwarfs them all.
Issa, a Vista Republican who won't run for reelection this fall, claimed a minimum net worth of at least $283.3 million on his most recent federal financial disclosure form.
The total net worth of California's delegation was at least $439 million in 2016, a 14% drop from the year before. Congress, overall, got richer.
Well DUMMY can you do the LEFTIST MATH for us ???????? ROTFFLMMFAO !!
