I find that patently absurd. Ask the people receiving bonuses as a result of the Trump Tax Cut/Reform legislation. Ask the Obamacare people/insurance companies after the individual mandate was repealed. Ask all of the companies that have announced investment/repatriation plans based on the new tax laws. Then ask "would Obama have pushed for and passed such tax legislation?" "Would Hillary have pushed for and passed such tax legislation?" I think not. Elections have consequences.

Poll: Around 64 Percent Of Small Business Owners Say Trump Is Making Their Enterprises Great Again https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/01/26/poll-64-percent-of-small-business-owners-say-trump-is-making-their-enterprises-great-again-n2440095

Yep. Trump is President. Sucks, right? Stock market at record high. That really sucks. Lowest unemployment in 17 years. That sucks, too. Lots of people getting bonuses and jobs. Unbearable! Illegal border crossings much reduced. Unbelievable! Corporations returning jobs and money back to the US. How bad can it get! 80% of taxpayers receiving reductions in tax obligations. The nerve! President proposing solution to Dreamer problem and Immigration reform. How dare he!

We all discriminate all of the time. That is what making a choice is all about. Who you marry, where you take a job, what brand of merchandise you buy, all are the result of discrimination. Some of us have chosen to call certain discriminations bad, unacceptable, hurtful, damaging, etc. We have actually codified some of those choices into law. So I agree with you, "racial discrimination" is not desirable. But "discrimination" in general is a necessary function of life.

Why pretend something isn't what it is? Discrimination is just discrimination. Having high moral purposes doesn't change the reality of what it is.

Affirmative Action is program with intentional discrimination. It gives African-Americans priority over Caucasians in several areas. The fact that it is meant to repair past sins does not make it any less discrimination.

IMF raises global growth forecasts, US tax cuts provide boost https://www.yahoo.com/news/imf-raises-global-growth-forecasts-us-tax-cuts-152450420.html

Apparently Erdogan kills opponents or throws them in jail. So far Trump has done neither. I suggest going with Trump.

It seems to me that if you classify people as white and non-white, for whatever reason, you are engaging in discrimination. Color/race has entered into the conversation.

This seems to me to be an easy deal. Fund the wall, fix the immigration laws so problems do not reoccur (merit based, no chain migration, no lottery), and fix DACA in a reasonable way (permanent green cards, normal path to citizenship). I believe the Goodlatte bill does this. What is the problem?

It is legitimate to question any poll. Do you have a better poll to offer?

Yes, businesses do fluctuate. But consider: Lowest unemployment rate in 17 years Lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. GDP growth 3%+ for last 3 quarters, projected to be 3+% for 2018. Thousands of employees receiving bonuses. Several companies announcing major investments in US. Apple repatriating over 200 billion dollars to invest in US. Consumer confidence at record highs. Stock markets at record highs. Why do you flippantly ignore all of the above?

Again, you have not addressed the question. winstonm said: So what specific actions has Trump taken that has focused on his family business or his tv ratings. Please be specific with cited evidence.

What winstonm posted was: I asked for evidence of that assertion. How does your comment relate to that?

More bonuses: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/125000-disney-employees-to-receive-1000-cash-bonus-company-launches-new-50-million-education-program.html

so, no actual evidence. That is what I thought.

Do you have any actual evidence to back up your assertion?

After 8 years of sub 3% growth, 3+% growth looks pretty good, don't you think?

Currently Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, and Hong Kong all use a merit based or "point" system to manage their immigration selection process. Do you apply your same criticisms to these countries as well?
