Then why did Obama not ban NAI?

Maybe its time we get the Democrat Party out of our personal pocketbooks, because the extreme taxation I have been paying to the Democrats had not had the return they promised us.

Your tax dollars did build and helps pay the daily operating costs of that nice U.S. customs pre-clearance facility....in Abu-Dhabi. Maybe someday you will be able to buy a ticket on JetBlue and go see it.

Despite what too many of us might think the world does not revolve around pilots. There are other constituencies, some of whom are also union members like those at Boeing. Maybe you heard. They sell airliners. All around the world.

As others have said if you don't think Dems have helped pilots then you simply don't know your airline history. For the most recent example ask the American pilots why their pensions were frozen and not terminated in bankruptcy.

And respectable, I would just like to see both...good times and not pay higher taxes.

One thing is for sure, HRC has pledged to raise your taxes, a lot.

Excellent point, but the US treaty to start that facility was signed in 1976.....during the Ford administration which was followed by Regan, and a few Bush administrations. 40 years and multiple changes in the White House and not one administration has canceled that treaty. Why do you think that is?

We'd get a much better return on tax dollars by building a border wall, or maybe rounding up millions of people for deportation, huh?. That sounds like a solid return on our taxed money. Customs and Border Patrol's budget is 13.6 Billion annually, the UAE pre clearance facility is a drop in the bucket. Like illegal drugs, if the US was an unproductive market foreign entities wouldn't go to such effort to get the drugs over the border. Similarly, the UAE is the funnel cheap textiles headed to the US from the region. Are you really will to go without your $19 skinny Chinos from the GAP? I didn't think so. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy.

Anyway, ALPA DID object to the pre-clearance facility in UAE.

Earned income tax won't be where it comes from, they've squeezed that turnip. Hint period hint.

Just remember, tax law can be changed with the stroke of a pen.

We as a country, in terms of the ability to govern ourselves, are totally screwed. John McCain now says they will not vote on any Clinton court nominee. If one believes gridlock and the establishment produced The Donald in this round, I can't wait to see what arises from the ashes in four years.

WHO: Singles and married joint filers earning between $143,000 and $209,000. Average income: $179,000

UNDER CLINTON PLAN: Average tax hike of $246, or 0.1%

Is 0.1% "a lot"?
