Thiel, Trump, Elon and Kennedy all have ties to Epstein.

I think a bigger issue is the FBI being filled with partisans and the 3%’rs and others being set free. I expect some pretty bad stuff to happen.

So I see we have gotten to the totalitarian stage of asking neighbors to spy on neighbors.

Not stupid. Corrupt. Elon and Trump both were cohorts of Epstein who was more likely than not a Russian honeypot to capture and turn powerful men.

Rubio should become a term synonymous with compromising all your values to get along. Parents should tell their children to not be a Rubio.

Trump and Elon both have ties to Epstein. Given Russia has a long history of sexual blackmail is it a stretch to wonder if it might all be linked?

Hey Kentucky doesn’t want to send FEMA aide to CA. Why should we help them. Quit building in the Southeast heavily impacted by climate change.

Too many on this board are just no well read and only teams and shit. You do not understand that the Russian aggression was a response (an evil, fucking BS one) To the US sabotaging fair democratic process in Ukraine, if the results were favorable or projected to be favorable to Russia.

Great article on the issues with demand side policies targeting specific industries. Dems need new ideas….

Now here are the buckets of US spending by category. 71% doesn’t even cover Medicare, Social Security, Defense and Interest. So if any elected official tells you they want to cut taxes and they care about the deficit either they are lying or offering to work for free….

Now here is a chart of Federal
Receipts from the same time period of 1976 to current. You can see that spending is 22.5 percent of GDP and receipts will be driven to 16% of GDP or lower. So basically receipts cover 71% of spending

Of course not. It’s just a matter of time before he announcers he is running for a 3rd term.

Too bad RBG’s overinflated ego led us to the point we are at today. Sadly that is her legacy.

Pretty simple. Her boss works for Putin.

Small business generates the bulk of new jobs in the U.S. but rarely receive subsidies since they have less political pull. Is small business excluded from your plan?
comment in response to
post
Who do you think has the expertise and in an admin like Trump how do you prevent the subsidies from just going to his buddies like we see in Russia?
comment in response to
post
Okay fine let’s compare…..
Your subsidies are targeted at select industries. How much coverage and what is your enforcement mechanism? How do you know your payments won’t just go to increase profit margins?

Did my explanation help you understand it?

They key here is if you are generating positive cash flow you are free to reinvest it to grow your business. If you are selling here and exporting cash you will be taxed at the corporate rate. If you are a fair trader then you would have no tax. This provides a market mechanism for fair trade.

Because it changes how return on capital is taxed it also requires some changes to the Taxation of Capital Gains. I can go into that but better a different thread.
comment in response to
post
It basically only taxes when the cash changes hands via return on labor/wages (income tax), return on capital via interest/dividends/stock buy backs (income and capital gains), or sent overseas (cash exportation tax).

You may spend Cash on operations, put it in a U.S. bank or return it to U.S. investors and it is cash spent in the U.S. It basically changes Corporations into 401k’s designed to generate job growth.

The tax basically rewards investment in the U.S. by private business. You are going to acquire cash via operations, return on investments (long term and short term), and financing. As long as the cash stays in the U.S. it does not get taxed.

Sure first you are replacing a tax being the business income tax which is easily manipulated by Large and Enterprise accounts. This tax falls disproportionally on those who are unable to leverage foreign tax shelters.
comment in response to
post
Sure and for a small set of industries which are strategic one might choose to provide subsidies but the government cannot do those subsidies in a broad based fashion. A market forcing mechanism works better in a broad based manner.
Now comment on my proposal which I don’t think you understand.

It’s not just my conclusion. Look at Monte’s proposed trades, go to any Kings message board. The entire fan base is asking do these guys pay any attention? And yes you generally do have good insight which is why I was surprised the pod went the direction it did.

I have re-read it 4 times so clearly I am interested. Why don’t you re-explain how the government money is applied.

But I will give you credit you own your extreme socialism proudly. Too bad it has infected the Dem Party however. It’s why they keep losing elections.
comment in response to
post
No that is either government on the buy side (demand) or government ownership of the means of production. Literally Communism. The first option is demand side and the second is communism. I think the Soviet Union has proven it won’t work. It’s also the fear of that driving away most Americans.

“However, a better alternative would be government investments in industries you believe worth having domestically.”
It’s either demand side or full nationalization.

Have you worked in industry? Do you know how easy it is to off-shore engineering and other jobs? Are you aware U.S. companies have annual targets to off-shore jobs? Nothing done on the demand side prevents them from moving jobs overseas. It’s only Dems with no industry experience who thinks it will

Instead of arguing about tariffs perhaps address my alternative or provide your own. Or you could, like the Dem Party, do nothing and watch the working class continue to leave it in droves.
