“This is absolutely necessary. The only way to "drain the swamp" is to return to an ideology where government officials run for office due to a feeling of civic duty rather than monetary gain. Paying congressmen after they've left office is a large hemorrhage of taxpayer money that should be stopped.…”

In Response to: Should Members of Congress Not Get a Taxpayer-Funded Pension?

“Absolutely not! The rich spend disproportionately less than the poor in relation to their total earnings. This is another huge tax break for the rich and the companies that they own. It's a thinly veiled one at that... Utterly repulsive. ”

In Response to: Should Income and Payroll Taxes be Eliminated and Replaced by a National Sales Tax?

“Absolutely not. If you can't pay taxes then you should not have the ability to influence politics. This has nothing to do with free speech. Churches can still voice their opinion just like anyone else. They simply cannot buy their favorite politicians seats of power. This is as it should be. Do not …”

In Response to: Should the Johnson Amendment be Repealed to Let Churches and Tax-Exempt Groups Engage in Politics?

“Coalition diplomatic talks are needed before the US takes on this problem by itself. Sanctions could be useful but only if diplomacy fails and even then, the sanctions need to be imposed by more than one country. Don't let the Idiot in Chief get us into another war to boost his ego. Progress needs t…”

“Are the members of the GOP out of their minds? The idea that this was even taken seriously enough to be written as a bill is outrageous and moronic. "Leader of the free world" my ass. This is a fantastic way to ruin our country for future generations by lowering the status of our country on the worl…”

In Response to: Three House GOP Lawmakers Draft Bills to Leave UN, Abolish EPA & Dept. of Education

“This is a good start. Pass this legislation and then amend it to include all branches of the government and extend the 5 year limit indefinitely. These people are hired by us to serve our country and that duty does not extend to their personal ambitions. ”

In Response to: Drain the Swamp: Should Political Appointees be Banned From Lobbying After Leaving Gov’t?

“Vote no for Pruitt. He will drain the wrong swamp. We need to continue to protect the planet, not only for us but for future generations and letting an idiot who wants to run the EPA in a way that allows "freedom for American businesses" is perhaps the worst way to do so. Do the right thing for our …”

“This ban is immoral, unethical, and damaging to our country. We are a country founded by people fleeing persecution. Why should that same spirit of inclusion be present in our modern culture and administration? We should be working to adequately accommodate refugees who go through proper vetting pro…”

“While this is a good start, it need to be extended to include a clause stating that while no budget is reached not only is Congress's pay withheld but so is their tin off. No recess and not pay until a sensible budget is passed. ”

“Should we trust the intelligence community to share information like this on their own? I would hope that we can but given the political climate in Washington, I don't want to take any chances. At least they can be held accountable this way. Who's to say wether or not they will be though. ”

“"Mental defective" is too broad of a term to base any policies on. Legislating based on such loose definitions is far worse. Who's to say I'm not a "mental defective" because I disagree with your political agenda? This will cause nothing but problems in a time when if anything gets done at all it sh…”
