   Leave it to certain individuals to take a nonpolitical strip and immediately turn it political. @martens – Anything can be made political if you want it to. It’s just nice to escape it at times. Why turn to personal attacks? @Darsan54 – Your hatred is obvious. Makes me think you are nothing more than a troll, saying outlandish, irrelevant things to get a response. Hope you at least get some sort of happiness from it.

   Is the world getting better or worse? That depends on how you look at it and who you ask. You would have to look at it socially, economically, morally, politically, etc. and would get different answers for each, depending on who was asked. One person’s dump is another person’s gold mine.

   Nothing like doomsday prophesies to stir up the opposition. We do know that the next president, President ________, will really, really get us into WW3. :)

   What’s in a name? A mayonnaise by any other name will still be as tasty on my sandwich.

   Net Neutrality was in its infancy. It was only passed in 2015. Before it passed, there was a huge outcry of how it would destroy internet access and give too much control to the government. Then it passed and everything continued as before. When it was set to expire, there was a huge outcry of how it will destroy free internet. To date, nothing has changed and all is the same. Pass it, or don’t. It doesn’t seem to change anything.

   Did anyone else notice the use of “has” twice, back-to-back? “Your flight has has been…”. Reminds me of some tests I’ve seen before.

   There was a similar program under Bush. They released a some guns, realized they couldn’t track them and shut the program down. Who’s bright idea was it to restart a failed program?

   Don’t forget about comments Biden said about Obama in 2008.

   We don’t need to resent taxes, we need to improve them. A simpler tax code with fewer (ideally zero) loopholes for all would help many people. Raising taxes on anyone to pay the outrageous spending of Congress (not Republicans vs. Democrats, Congress in general) is ludicrous and promotes more outrageous spending. We need to fix the uncontrolled spending, fix the broken tax code, and then we can adjust taxes (up or down) as needed.I feel estate taxes (the death taxes) should be done away. The person who died, rich or poor, already had the taxes taken out of their money. When they die, they may be lucky enough to not have spent it all. The money is what they have left after paying whatever taxes they owed while they lived. To then say that the estate (which is the embodiment of the deceased until all assets are distributed) needs to pay a tax because the individual is now dead is insane. Why be taxed just because they died? I think an inheritance tax (on those who receive valuables from a deceased) would make sense. It should be handled along the same lines as a gift tax (when someone must pay taxes on gifts in excess of $15k), but maybe have the cutoff higher.@Wabbit, some corporations probably owe much in back taxes, but many members of Congress (on both sides of the aisle) also owe a lot of money. Those members really do want to spend our money, but not their own.
