    In this economy the poor are not getting poorer.

    Prices rise wages don't

    Rich people don't hoard money. Rich people spend and invest money which is a benefit to a lot of people.

    They hide money in tax havens and invest in stocks and buy who YOU elect to make MO'MONEY

    No one is taking my money so I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Could have sworn you complained about the government taking your money and giving it to someone else. Something to do with you decide who to help not the government.

    My bad. I misunderstood your meaning. Yes, I very much blame Trump and the dem congress for wasteful spending and a trillion dollar deficit. He is, unfortunately, exactly like Obama in that regard. He is taking marginally less money from me than Obama did. I thought that was your meaning.

    "Invest in stocks". Isn't that what I said??? Investment is essential to a healthy economy. As to buying politicians, the last time I checked we still have elections. Money can only do so much. People still get to vote.

    That made me laugh. If I was denying "nonsense", then wouldn't that be a good thing, and wouldn't you agree with me if, indeed, I was denying "nonsense"? Think a little.

    Here you go again - playing word games. As anyone can see, you are not very good at it. Attempting wit, you have simply tied yourself up in a knot.

    Think a little.

    It wasn't an attempt at wit. It was an illustration of logic. You missed it.

    Thank you - I should have said attempting logic.

    And like I said, you completely missed it, and still do. TDS will do that to a person.

    No I didn't miss anything - I know exactly what you were trying to say, and failing at it.

    Yes, Trump has a syndrome that we can logically call derangement. I wonder at the right associating this derangement with Trump - no doubt somebody's not-so-clever idea that backfired bigly. It's pretty much disappeared except for this site.

    That's the problem with missing something. You don't realize that you missed it. But to settle the matter, try restating what I was saying and then point out what was wrong with it.

    That could take a while given the fertile grounds of inaccuracy you have sown.

    Go ahead. Give it a try. Simply restating a couple of sentences shouldn't be too demanding.

    And while you're at it, point out where I have been inaccurate. If I have been incorrect with data, then I want to know it.

    You do know I have a life and I fact check you as I go, so my statement stands as is. Won't be long before I fact check you again knowing you will soon post something else besides daring me to prove you wrong again.

    If you are going to make an accusation, you really should be able to back it up. But even at that, just restating two or three sentences shouldn't cut too deeply into your busy day.
