— Donald Trump
It's important to push back, even if some won't change their minds. As a public conversation, others may see this nonsense and let it reinforce their negativity. It's also just wrong; the economic negativity undercuts all rationale to expand the welfare state (and undercuts all evidence that domestic progressive policy did good things). How can we talk of raising taxes and spreading our fabulous wealth (yes, Americans are quite wealthy overall) if there is a vast, perpetuated social sentiment that we're all struggling to get by and living on the edge?
All about making the rich richer.... this does not benefit the people at the middle or bottom of the ladder.
And that shows you how petty Trump is - see how minor of an infraction it takes to get on Trump bad side ?
TBH, I don't know why we bother with corporate income taxes at all. Tax the owners at their personal marginal rate and call it good. For foreign owners, I can see withholding the tax before profits leave the country so we have a chance of collecting the taxes owned but for domestic shareholders, I don't see much point. With corporate income tax, all shareholders pay the same rate regardless of personal income, taxing the less affluent investors at a rate higher than they would pay on earned income while taxing more affluent investors at a rate lower than the would pay on earned income.
That's ridiculous, lying about the people being fabulously wealthy in this capitalist dystopia is what undercuts necessary change. Then again I'm talking to someone who called it doomerism when I correctly pointed out how fucked the Democratic party was with Biden and Harris more than a year ago when it was pretty clear they were going to blow another election to Trump. Neoliberalism is an electoral loser that has given us two terms of Bush and two more of Trump but I'm the idiot for not drinking the Kool-Aid on it. ROFL calling what the Democrats do domestic progressive policy when we're so far to the right of the social democracies of the west that have reasonable healthcare systems and don't bury their young in crippling debt for the right to work.
Why can't we go back to great times of yesteryear, where we ate great things like loads of canned foods (because fresh wasn't available year-round) or had bad instant coffee?
I mean, I do that already. It's cheaper than frozen, depending on the vegetable it's no different texture-wise, and it isn't already rotten by the time I get home like 'fresh' produce.
I certainly will be. Stupidity should cost money.
Most of us already know this except the pro-rapists.
more importantly many of these woman told others of the sexual assault so there is a bit more than she say he say in play. In any case Trump is certainly someone that has no problem sexually assaulting women as has been proven in court.Most of us already know this except the pro-rapists.
Why Women Don't Immediately Report Sexual Assault
Typically, a woman is victim-blamed and it’s her reputation that is damaged because she spoke out against abuse.www.psychologytoday.com
You have issues my friend, and you should address them. pcgeek and I aren't your enemy's, we don't control what others say nor do we wish harm on anyone. That you can't accept that we have differing opinions than yours say's a lot more about you than us.
Stock buy back but more so healthy compensation to executives. Just look at some of the salaries that went up with the tax breaks they received.
I know you have different opinions. That why I posted it. I know both of those results will please you.
