While I don’t consider Trump a saint by any means, (or anyone in politics frankly) the money bags, and such here are a bit ironic, considering Trump is actually one of the few presidents that turned down having a presidential salary.
 
Also, I tire of people saying they hate Trump for being rich, (and I’m sure other people have better reasons to hate him, and I’m not going to argue on whether, or not he’s a legit/honest businessman, or anything, as I never trusted him 100% either) they might as well hate the Clintons, the Bushes, the Kennedy family, Obama, Bernie, the “Squad,” and all of Congress.  
Alot of our tax dollars go to politicians’ salaries… (Even after they retire.) I really wish we could do something about that, or lower their salaries, or make THEM pay taxes too, but we can’t, because THEY have to vote on it…
 
Stuff like that are why I hate politics.  
Also, it’s kinda a shame to see an artist I like drawing shallow political propoganda like this, (and cliché, how many “Orange man” pics are online?) and frankly it’s kinda hard to take that kinda thing seriously when it’s with ponies.
 
PS: Sorry for the necro’, but I just couldn’t keep this rant in, feel free to ignore, as I won’t respond.

ah I bet we would have so much more tax complaints if we had Bernie

Reminds me of a familiar caricature:

How about being nice! It’s a lot easier in the end! :D

Practice what you preach then

Well I can’t foresee the future, so I can’t exactly argue how true that would be.

@Cold_Bat  
The tax cuts for the middle class are a pittance of a lousy token $1,600 which are designed by Republicans to expire by 2025 just in time with the expectation that Democrats will retake the presidency where they will then be pressured to extend the middle-class tax cuts (along with the massive rich tax cuts) or else be blamed for supposedly “raising taxes” on the middle-class.

@vit  
Well the tax cuts were done to middle class businesses, so no.

And by tax reform, I’m gonna guess that means more and more tax cuts to the rich and corporations which they pocket all of them.

This one is a remarkable improvment to the “My Little Phony” series.

@gamer525  
God I remember seeing that somewhere a few years ago, still kind of terrifying to look at.

Reminds me of this image I saw a couple years ago

I brought Cuba up not because I said it was a Western Nation (I didn’t say that and Its not) but because despite it’s terrible government the government at least has the courtesy to provide its citizens with Healthcare.
 
If a country like Cuba could provide care to it’s people then why shouldn’t the US be able to?

@Zintenka  
They may reside in the western hemmisphere, but they don’t come to mind much when you say “Western Country”, which usually implies democracy and civil liberties( when taken in a political context)

@Zintenka  
Cuba is hardly a democracy/republic. Canada would be a better choice.

@Zintenka  
If I wanted to provide counter to your argument then I would, and I wouldn’t need memes to do it (though I might supplement that argument with a healthy dose of memes regardless). Again, this is just advice, go find the appropriate forum thread and invite the guy you’re talking to to discuss it with you there where other people can join the discussion properly.
 
As a second piece of advice I sincerely recommend NOT invoking Cuba when you’re trying to argue that something might be good. I’m not saying the current sad state of Cuba shows that public health care is bad, but it’s a very easy road someone can pull you down if you give them an opportunity to do so.

@I Was Never Here  
I was about to follow your advice but providing a meme video as a way to counteract my argument is just silly considering that most Western nations ALREADY employ public healthcare to their citizens.
 
Norway. Sweden. Denmark. Germany. UK even. Hell, even friggin CUBA!
 
As literally the richest nation in the world, there is no excuse!

@Zintenka  

 
Because that’s how it works, right?

On a more serious note, you guys should consider taking this conversation to the fourms. I’m not saying that this is absolutley off topic, but the longer this conversation goes on here the more likley you are to have a moderator say it is and start throwing their weight around to get people to stop having serious political discussions on an image thread.

@Background Pony #39ED  
That’s because Obama inherited a recession from George Bush’s incompetence and his ideas kept getting blocked by a majority Republican congress, you honestly expect anyone to do that well when you have that situation?
 
They blocked him on practically everything.
 
What you do when you’re put into a situation like that is to negotiate with them, a trade war that could see your own people suffering should always be the last resort.
 

 
That’s why it should be revised, not gotten rid of. It provided millions free healthcare.

Heck

@Zintenka  
Lol, Obama couldn’t bring the gdp above 3% in his 8 years.
 
Other countries including our allies and China have heen screwing us with asymmetrical tarrifs disguised as various things for decades. We are simply starting to implement fair trade and the other countries are screaming their heads off because they can no longer have their cake and eat it too. This asymmetrical trade is what caused the rustbelt. We have already lost the trade war long ago. We are finally just beginning to rise up.
 
The ACA was written by and for the insurance companies. After it was implemented, their profits skyrocketed and insurance got much more expensive. The ACA was a screw job. We are the fuccbois.

@Background Pony #0B95  
Ooohhh I can’t wait to deconstruct your points.
 
First of all, the booming economy was due to Obama fixing Bush’s mistakes. Obama caused the economy to reach its booming trend, not a President that’s only been in office for 1 year and some change.
 
Stop giving the credit to one willing to risk destroying our economy with trade wars against our allies.
 
Second of all, what do you mean interpret the constitution as is? You have Trump and the potential Supreme Court pick wishing to overturn Roe v. Wade and you want to speak about political activists?
 
Surely you don’t see the hypocrisy in that?
 
Third of all, what is with your blind hatred on everything that Obama does? What policies did Trump get rid of that made you so happy? The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)? It was flawed but it could’ve been revised now Millions of your fellow Americans will live Bankrupt or Die Bankrupt.
 
And you’re happy about this?
 
Dodd Frank which would’ve forced Banks to disclose all economic dealings and protect consumers from banking corruption?
 
And you’re happy about this? You ain’t part of the team, man.
 
You would literally shoot yourself in the foot if it meant making us even slightly uncomfortable.
 
The world is laughing at us and our education system.

so many angry pony folk in this and the da comment section puffing out their chest, haha
