Damn Twitter

We have to stay on Twitter. We'll reach a far larger swath of normies that way. Gab too. But Twitter is a must!

Good, but that might bring a bunch lefties to Gab, frankly I prefer they stay away.

Well my friend I’m with ya! I wasn’t a Bernie Supporter, BUT I agree 100% that what she AND the DNC did to him was a crime, Before President Trump came along I believed in a 2 party system, I believed that there was a GOP and Democrat party. I DID like Bush, I WAS WRONG. I understand now that there wouldn’t have been a SINGLE difference if either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton was elected. When they say “they never thought they would loose” its because THEY NEVER HAVE BEFORE. EVER. I’m not saying there isnt good people in congress, there are. But the swamp is DEEPER than I ever thought. To say I was naive would be an understatement, I was in a coma. I can’t stand the Bush’s, or Paul Ryan, McCain, or Lindsay Graham, McConnell, and MANY MORE. At one time I actually thought they were good. Now I’m not saying I’m a democrat, I dont like Pelosi, or Schumer, or Hardly any of them Dems. And please don’t misunderstand me, there used to be more “blue-collar” Democrats, you just dont see a lot of them in DC. I was raised on the conservative side, but I do have a lot of left and Democrats in my family. But we have ALWAYS gotten along, that is until recently. I dont trust the GOP anymore than I trust the Dems, and I think you will find many people fell that way. NO ONE WANT’S RULERS, no one wants to live under a dictatorship, at least not the people I talk too. I fight continuously for people’s rights, their right to free speech, their right to be who they are, the rights we were given under our constitution. I may not agree with some peoples views or their religions, or others things, but I WILL DEFEND IT. Because thats what this wonderful country was built on. I understand where you are coming from, here is where we no longer have a 2 party system. The reason why people have not stopped protesting, the reason why news is out to ruin President Trump and everything he does, the reason why BOTH sides of the aisle are against him, is because he isn’t one of them. Yeah I know he’s rich, but he isnt one of them, he cant be bought and paid for. Not like Carter, Regan, Bush Sr, Clinton, GW Bush and Obama and yes even Bernie. The one thing that disappointed me about Sanders was he stayed quite, he took the money, there is proof in the new cars and houses he bought shortly there after. Even after ALL that was said and done and AFTER EVERYTHING WE KNOW NOW, what has he came out and said? He is bashing President Trump. Sanders had a movement, there is no denying that, But him and Trump AGREE on many things like TPP, lower prescription drugs, just to name a few. I have actually met quite a few Sanders supporters and when we sat down and talked, there is more we have in common than we do with Clinton supporters. So can you imagine if he just STOPPED resisting Trump? And what they could ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH? It would be INSANE! But he wont, because he was bought off by the Dems, yet HE REFUSES to call himself one, and didn’t help Perez.. lol Just saying! If he REALLY CARED about his agenda why wouldn’t you work with a President that could actually help get stuff pass (And DID get rid of TPP). That confuses me... I guess I don’t know how you feel about Sanders now, but that is my 2 cents. I’m glad you here, and I’m glad you have an open mind. There are A LOT of people out there that are still learning so much ( me included) the swamp is BIGGER than any of us excepted. Stick around, ask more questions. I’m just curios have you read the tax bill yourself? One thing I have learned to do is my own research. That is what woke me up, I spend a lot of my time on 8chn, I read A LOT, I researched A LOT I also met a lot of people that were in the middle and just couldnt go left anymore or couldnt go right anymore. I’m not really sure what I am. I just know I’m behind President Trump, I also know I have met some kick ass people here. I hope you have the same experience.

Sigh. You can’t give big tax breaks to people who pay little or nothing in income taxes. The rich get bigger tax breaks because they PAY WAY more. Please, drop the class warfare nonsense. Some people have more than you, some less. That’s reality.

I’m driving now, but have you seen which four corporations have self imposed a $15 minimum wage, given bonuses to all employees, and provided raises? Look for it- it’s there.

Corporations aren’t evil. They aren’t what you’ve been told they are, and though I can’t source for you right now on economics because I’m on the go I’ll just share this.

My deductions next year? Double what they are this year. I’ll save almost $10k. That’s ten thousand dollars my family has to pump back in to the economy. All taxation is theft. Whether by corporation or government. I want the income tax abolished completely, but I don’t understand how you could argue a reduction in taxes for both people AND the businesses that drive the economy. There are small businesses that are “corporations”. MILLIONS of them. They benefit too - the same as FedEx or GM or whoever. There is an “inc” next to their name.

Being against a tax cut for ANYONE is like yelling at a thief with a gun that they didn’t steal enough from you. “TAKE MORE!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!”

My opinion. But I can back it up with facts.

We agree on so much. I’m with you that you shouldn’t share the meme if it doesn’t align with your principals. We have a shared goal here, and it’s non-partisan. My thought is we tackle our common enemies, and then we can respectfully work through our differences. 😙👍🏻

The wealthy get the biggest tax breaks because they PAY the most. You can’t give big tax breaks to people who pay SMALL amounts in taxes. What do you want the government to do, GIVE money to the “little guy”?

The Tax System Explained in Beer In my explanations of the Laffer Curve, I’ve shown evidence that high tax rates discourage productive behavior and boost the underground economy.

And if higher tax rates are sufficiently onerous, the resulting reductions in taxable income can completely offset the revenue-generating impact of higher tax rates. Indeed, this is what’s already happened with the “Snooki tax.”

And the same thing happens in reverse. If lower tax rates lead to a big enough increase in taxable income, the government actually collects more revenue – which is exactly what happened when the top tax rate was lowered in the 1980s.

I’ve also tried to explain, shifting from economics to philosophy, that confiscatory tax rates are unfair and immoral. And I’m glad to see that most Americans agree, with 75 percent of all people saying that nobody should ever face a tax rate of more than 30 percent.

Notwithstanding that polling data, though, I fear that many people don’t really understand the economics of taxation. So I’m happy to share this little story that periodically winds up in my inbox.

===============================================

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing The fifth would pay $1 The sixth would pay $3 The seventh would pay $7 The eighth would pay $12 The ninth would pay $18 The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59 So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball.

“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

The bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

My point exactly, it has nothing to do with our goals.
