 To incentivize voters to cast ballots for Republicans, President Trump used his convention speech to promise a dividend of $5,000 to every adult citizen if the Republican Party maintains control of Congress in the midterm election. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. "It will be called the Trump dividend, congratulations." Trump did not provide details about where the money would come from or the legality of his promise. According to the most recent Census data, it could cost $1 trillion or more to provide these payments. Trump promises $5,000 dividend in convention speech, but only if Republicans win |

Conservatives (TM) is just the team youre on now. It has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility or small government. |

Few things say desperation more then trying to bribe voters with $5,000 when America is already $40 Trillion in the hole. "I'm going to give Y-O-U taxpayer money that we don't have, just so as long as you vote for my party so I can continue spending even more money that we don't have for a wasteful fleet of nuclear powered battleships, and huge DC Trump arches, and a Whitehouse ballroom that only the richest & best connected will ever enter". Sure sounds like a big spending New York Democrat... Bigger_Hammer  |

My guess is he knows R’s are gonna lose and thus the .gov won’t pay out, but if enough dumbass lazy fuckers come out of the woodwork and vote R then maybe he can mitigate some damage. I’m really against this. This is disgusting on so many levels. If there was actually a possibility of this happening I would straight-up not vote at all in November. |
Oh shit I just remembered I pay the government not the other way around, so I will continue getting screwed while saying, Please sir may I have some more?
