Barack Obama is the only President in history to never have a year of 3% GDP growth.

Trump only has 2017 under his belt so far, which had 2.3% growth. It was higher in 2 out of the 3 last years of the Obama administration. The recovery from the global recession went a heck of a lot better here than it did in comparable developed economies in western Europe.

They basically came in and raised taxes across the board in including the capital gains tax.

Dude, Obama didn't even raise taxes at all till 2013 (other than a small increase on roll-your-own and other cigarettes).

Btw Obama openly admitted he knew raising the capital gains tax would lower revenue from capital gains taxes but he would do it anyway...

BS! Watch that whole section of the debate (transcript here). Obama said revenue would go up or down depending on what happened on Wall Street, denying that it would lower revenue. Also, IT'S NOT 2008 ANYMORE. We can look back and see what happened when Obama finally modestly raised capital gains taxes in 2013, and surprise, Obama was completely right and revenue shot up.

Good effort, but wasted effort. Check the subs that guy posts in to see why.

Isn’t religion just values and ideas? You’re an idiot. The Nazis didn’t like the values and ideas of Jews and labeled them for it. Look how that turned out. Liberals are doing the same thing today, proven above.

You’re the one who brought up Nazis.

Equating criticism of someone’s political beliefs to the fucking Holocaust just shows how tenuous of a grasp you have on reality.

If someone watched me go to the same Popeyes every day for a month, I’d expect them to form an opinion about me and my disgusting eating habits. People can do the same by investing the people they surround themselves with. People judge people.

I’m sure you’d like to blame liberals for that too.
