Quoted: Andy Frisella had good interview with Vivek. It's a long interview but worth the watch when you have the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzlMEJD96tI View Quote |

Quoted: Again, from the OP, Vivek stated that "God is REAL." https://i.imgur.com/ITjwusi.jpeg I don't care about him being Hindu. He can believe in whatever he wants to believe. But how can he make the statement that "God is REAL" when he doesn't believe in God? Is he making a statement before the people that he has converted to a sect of Christianity and has abandoned his faith in Hinduism? Or is he throwing out meat for the crowd to gobble up to keep them distracted? This is like a Communist stating that Capitalism is superior to Communism, while still being a Communist. It is a core belief of that person, but they're making statements that run counter to it. View Quote It's a tactic to win Evangelical/Christian votes. Nothing more. |

Quoted: We went to see him in NH on Saturday. Great message! Someone who isn't afraid to speak the truths. I really hope he can make it. He's definitely not part of the swamp. He talked about wanting to drastically cut the size of the federal government, and cancelling the "cancel people and returning our free speech. It was a very good presentation.

Quoted: I think he is premium VP material. He would make a good president, but he is a bit young. View Quote Hes still got something no other canidate has so far-- a way foward. Trump is playing Bidens tactics this time around: the other guy is bad, vote for me. He won 2016 because he had a vision for America, which balanced out his mean tweets. I dont think he can win on mean tweets alone for 2024. Santis cant articulate his position, and hes trying to be trump. The combinations is murdering him. He might be great in florida but he hasnt shown anybody he can play president. |

"Piketty and Saez are proposing a dry, yet elegant answer to the question, one that both tells us who the worst off are and helps us prevent Wilt Chamberlain's talentless grandchildren from ruling the world Piketty and Saez's equations spit out the answer that the optimal inheritance tax in the United States is 59 percent I'd take the figure Piketty and Saez arrive at as a minimum. We shouldn't allow people to become billionaires just by having rich parents."
"Piketty and Saez" refer to Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, two progressive economists. They are widely known for their economic model that suggests the most effective method of curing income inequality is high taxation and indicts free market capitalism as the cause. |
