THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Martin Hash]

Well, I officially admit it, Trump was a total washout. There is still a significant chance he won't be able to get anything done except appoint Supreme Court justices, so it's still a "win" if compared to the tide of socialism that almost engulfed us.

We accept your surrender. Now talk Capps off that ledge, please.

The rural states are going completely red, Wyoming the Reddest of the Red, because that is the people who are seeing their revenue extracted, at the cost of job growth in their states, for it to be handed over to the cities, to fund an endless calvalcade of utopian do gooderist pet projects, simple as that.

[The Conservative]

There should be zero Corporate Tax. People should be taxed, and corporations should not be allowed to hold money.

However, tax cuts for The Rich because they're Special, all the economy trickles down from them 'cuz magic. That's fuckin' evil.

If you are going to tax people, tax them on what they spend, not on what they make.

Subsidizing The Rich on the backs of everyone again.

Umm how? The rich spend more money than anyone else... You buy something you get taxed on it. You buy a 5 million dollar house, guess what taxes! Buy a computer TAXES, buy yourself an island? TAXED... buy a car, same thing. By 10,000 stocks in something, you get taxed... so what am I missing?

You don't get rich by spending your money....

And luxury purchase taxes by no means make up for day to day sales taxes that everyone has to pay. Factor in write-offs for luxury cars, yachts, private planes, etc and your argument falls flat.

Considering how much revenue is generated by rural production, a one cent difference in spending makes the point, rural production fuels the engine, but the rural people do not enjoy the fruits of that labour in proportion to what they generate, because they have to go cap in hand to the federal government to get their revenue back, which yeilds them one cent more than the cities get, when the cities are a net money loser, deep in debt, and the rural is a net money maker, flush with commodities per capita.

You can have a shitload of oil in your state, but ask yourself, where does all that money go? You have the same population to oil ratio as an Arab Gulf Emirate, and yet you are struggling? Blue Eyed Sheiks know the score, you ain't a Blue Eyed Sheik, unless you can protect your oil money from the Feds.

By 10,000 stocks in something, you get taxed.

I agree with you, but this alone will never EVER be allowed to happen. The HFT schemes wouldn't tolerate it.

More like 35 cents in WY case. (R U just playin' around or R U serious?)
