Re: Vivek Ramaswamy and persecuted Christians

By his own words, he doesn't support ANY of those rights or freedoms even though there are MANY people who find all of them contained within the Constitution. Nor does he even support the Constitution as written as he wants to repeal the 26th Amendment. I do not support the 17th Amendment. Does tha...

Re: Vivek Ramaswamy and persecuted Christians

Ramaswamy's phrase "The US Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history" is a platitude because it says nothing about what Ramaswamy's positions are on anything. Or what he stands for. If one listens to his speeches, he easily explains it and also provides plans on his w...

Re: House Speaker

In 1880 after the first 100 years of the American existence: Much of that is before the industrial revolution, or before it really kicked in. Many rural people may have lived in poverty money wise, but had land and food aplenty for their family. I do think there is a place for federal spending, but...

I do not agree. Many of the videos he posts is him talking about such things and he does not take the "polling" positions many politicians take. Some of his positions may be loosing him votes, but he still stands by them.

Re: Vivek Ramaswamy and persecuted Christians

Of course Ramaswamy doesn't mention that he owns a fund called Strive Assent Management, which pushes for oil drilling at a site as long as it's profitable. He accuses other candidates of being "bought and paid for" by the "climate change hoax" but doesn't mention that he's maki...

Re: House Speaker

Well sure, Ohio could look like the Netherlands if Ohio raised its tax rates to match that of the Netherlands: 25% corporate income tax, 49.5% top income tax rate, 25% VAT (sales tax) and 25% capital gains tax. Many forget that the USA went about 100 years without income taxes or massive federal sp...

Now that's a new one! I mean, it does seem like some people feel that way but never knew anyone to come out and say it before!
