Well, I'm not in the habit of taking things at face value or accepting them as "common knowledge" without first ascertaining whether they're true or not. Call me picky...

More crime is caused by rich people than poor people in America. The only thing that tax cuts for the rich do are indebt a nation while making its rich people richer. When rich people get extra money from tax cuts, it just makes them richer. Cutting high-end income taxes makes rich people richer and raises a nation’s debt but does nothing else.

Republicans are exploiting Americans' confusion about taxes
More crime is caused by rich people than poor people in America. It’s not that rich people are committing the crimes, although they often do, but that inequality destroys social trust. If we want to reduce crime, we have to start taxing billionaires.Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he’s going...

I'm not. That's just some silly label you attach to people you disagree with. As it is, America didn't "invent the internet". You've been corrected on that and you're welcome.

THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERNETThen as before you need to do some research before issuing a statement without substance. No one person invented the internet although Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web. The origins of how we got to where we are now go back to many different people including from America and the UK so it's childish to pretend that the internet is an American invention just as it would be for me to claim it was a British one. Not only childish in fact but stupid.

Read about the history of the internet, from its 1950s origins to the World Wide Web’s explosion in popularity in the late 1990s and the ‘dotcom bubble’.www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk
The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the 1950s.

No argument. The internet itself wasn't invented by one person from one country alone however. Tim Berners-Lee probably played the most pivotal role in what we have today:
WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET?
No one person invented the internet. When networking technology was first developed, a number of scientists and engineers brought their research together to create the ARPANET. Later, other inventors’ creations paved the way for the web as we know it today.• PAUL BARAN (1926–2011)
An engineer whose work overlapped with ARPA’s research. In 1959 he joined an American think tank, the RAND Corporation, and was asked to research how the US Air Force could keep control of its fleet if a nuclear attack ever happened. In 1964 Baran proposed a communication network with no central command point. If one point was destroyed, all surviving points would still be able to communicate with each other. He called this a distributed network.• LAWRENCE ROBERTS (1937–2018)
Chief scientist at ARPA, responsible for developing computer networks. Paul Baran’s idea appealed to Roberts, and he began to work on the creation of a distributed network.• LEONARD KLEINROCK (1934–)
An American scientist who worked towards the creation of a distributed network alongside Lawrence Roberts.• DONALD DAVIES (1924–2000)
A British scientist who, at the same time as Roberts and Kleinrock, was developing similar technology at the National Physical Laboratory in Middlesex.• BOB KAHN (1938–) AND VINT CERF (1943–)
American computer scientists who developed TCP/IP, the set of protocols that governs how data moves through a network. This helped the ARPANET evolve into the internet we use today. Vint Cerf is credited with the first written use of the word ‘internet’.• PAUL MOCKAPETRIS (1948–) AND JON POSTEL (1943–98)
Inventors of DNS, the ‘phone book of the internet’.• TIM BERNERS-LEE (1955–)
Creator of the World Wide Web who developed many of the principles we still use today, such as HTML, HTTP, URLs and web browsers.• MARC ANDREESSEN (1971–)
Inventor of Mosaic, the first widely-used web browser.
Yeah...Those guys did some stuff but it was Al Gore.

So Republicans are almost as bad as Democrats?

Even worse. Republicans are worse than Democrats because Republicans are frauds. You've learned nothing from Bob Enyart if you didn't learn that.

Democrats are far more fraudulent than their opponents.

It's things like this by which you so frequently demonstrate yourself to be a fraud (and thus, a hypocrite also, since you like to spend your time self-righteously accusing others of being frauds). You know that nobody gets money by cuts in taxation. Nobody could be stupid enough to think that to cut taxes is to give money to those the taxation of whom is lessened. Yet, you pretend to think that it is; and by that pretense of yours you demonstrate your fraudulence. Think about it, stupid: If a thug accosts a man and puts a gun to his head demanding that he fork over $100, but the threatened man only has $50 and in fear for his life hands it to the mugger, and the mugger decides to be content with just taking the $50 from him, the robbed/taxed man has not gained any money by his being robbed/taxed of only $50 rather than having been robbed/taxed of $100 or more.

Yep, everything Bob Enyart said about that went right over your head.

He's never going to shut up, and he's never going to change his tune.
Neither will you.
