JUST IN: Hakeem Jeffries. The Weaponization of Taxation Regardless of which party. Enacting taxation then giving “tax breaks and credits’ to some is weaponization.

The Federalist Papers. Author: James Madison

“The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice.”

One other health care decision no sex change for a child. Doing something like that to a child is life altering they have to take drugs the rest of their life, that decision should be made by the child after their able to make good decisions, at least at the age of 18. To me its cosmetic surgery. It should paid by the person that wants it.

The tax cut for corperations fine with me, as long as the tax on peoples labor is eliminate.

[Depthcharger]

It's called a negotiation, the GOP will continue to find the government if you uphold that only citizens should be voting

[constitutionloversue]

People should be able to make their own health care decisions, but not if it involves another person, unless its life threatening. Were talking about a baby. A woman made a choice when she slept with someone, and so did the man. when that baby was convinced that child has a right to life. She doesn't want it adopte it out.
