Economy/Business / Re: Biden Calls for Record-High Tax Rate, Just a Few Points Shy of 50%
« Last post by roamer_1 on Today at 12:25:07 am »Oh, and before anybody says something stupid, that 160k wasn't laying around in gold bricks. It was money I couldn't hide, like inventory and under-depreciation schedules. It wasn't but a couple grand of it actually money. And coming up with that 15% corporate tax was just like pulling teeth, and took food off my table.

YES, Lets talk about that.
I had one year where I paid corporate tax on 160k -- A 15% surcharge - and only 20k came down to me and my wife and four kids... 20k I got to pay double withholdings on btw.
Most corporations are small businesses, and most small businesses are under fire. And have been my whole life long.

Elections 2024 / Former Biden chief of staff says no ‘big’ strategy needed for Trump: He’s ‘busy taking himself down
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 12:13:44 am » Former Biden chief of staff says no ‘big’ strategy needed for Trump: He’s ‘busy taking himself down every day’
by Miranda Nazzaro - 04/28/24 3:19 PM ET
Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain on Sunday dismissed the need for President Biden to have a “big political strategy” against former President Trump, arguing the former president does enough harm to himself.
“I don’t think it’s a big political strategy to take down Donald Trump. I think Trump is busy taking himself down every day,” Klain said Sunday during an interview with MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
“And it’s important, though, for the president to make the contrast between the kind of presidency he’s brought and what he’ll do for four more years, and [what] Donald Trump has done, what Trump himself is saying he’s going to if he gets the chance to come back to the White House,” he added.
Klain’s remarks were in response to Psaki, who pointed to Biden’s speech at this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where he poked fun at the former president.
When asked what he thinks of Biden’s strategy to “needle” Trump, Klain said, “I think it’s the party of it.”
“I think the president loves to campaign. He loves being out there with people. He loves working the rope live and engaging voters, and so he gets in a good mood when he’s out on the road, and so the jokes come,” Klain continued.

« Last post by Bigun on Today at 12:08:16 am »Is it though? The billionaires get tax deferrals. The bottom half of households get all sorts of handouts, contribute practically nothing to the federal government, and still pretend they are getting ripped off.
What is the precise definition of "income"?

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: Miranda Devine: We’ve finally found an issue that unites the country — Trump’s potential VP pic
« Last post by roamer_1 on Today at 12:04:56 am »From the article...
Sure, it’s a fact of life on farms and ranches that animals will have to be put down, but to do so in anger, as Noem apparently did, is appalling. The dog was young, and she had failed to train it properly or keep it under control.
Yup
She has poor impulse control so in that sense she's a perfect VP pick for Trump
NOPE. I'd have done the same damn thing.... Hell, I HAVE DONE the same dang thing.

Same argument from the isolationist today. "Our Founding fathers said to keep out of foreign entanglements" Well George and crew did not have to deal with intercontinental ballistic missiles, cyber attacks from 3500 miles away from rogue nations.
That is somehow a call to submit to globalism? Not by a long, long shot.
Foreign entanglements indeed. Ol George was a prophet.

We live in a global economy and US companies will move in a heartbeat to another country with cheaper labor. China and S. Korea and now Vietnam heavily subsidizes their EV industry. Way more than what we do. If we do not subsidize our home grown EV industry these countries will become the leaders and we will have to buy the technology and products from them.
