So the crap bill passed.  "the top 5% of the elite will see the biggest returns and highest tax breaks"

Of course they will. Same old story, F- the serfs.

I call bullshit.  The political left paints EVERYTHING as "tax cuts for the rich."  You could raise the top tax bracket to 600% and throw buckets of money at "poor" people and they'd still call it "tax cuts for the rich."

In terms of raw dollars, higher earners will always save more on an across-the-board tax cut.  The same percentage of a bigger number is a bigger number.

Although I agree that consumption taxes would be better than income taxes, let's say instead we did a flat tax -- say, 5 or 10 percent for everyone, no brackets, no deductions.  Fair, right?  Nope, the left would still call it "tax cuts for the rich."

It's one of those things they just bleat out over and over again, like "climate change" and "racism" and "tax cuts for the rich".  All of them translate to "durrrrrrr I am stupid."

New bank card arrives.  "Get started today call bla bla bla ! yay!"

So i call "you cant activate this until end of month"

lol.  

I forget where i originally posted, but seems the deal went thru. The federal government now owns 10% of Intel, including voting rights.

And i guess they got it for free.. pressured into it.

This is a really bad path we are going down.

"The U.S. government could take equity stakes in more companies going forward, potentially through an American sovereign wealth fund, according to one of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers."

Yep, we are f-ed. Its over.

Of course their excuse is "its only a %"

While I'm not going to get blackpilled, I am having some trouble understanding how this is any different from "seizing the means of production".

If you build in America there is no tariff.

Looks like most of the tariffs got struck down as being illegal.  We will see what happens next. ( my guess is he will try to jail the court members, lawfare is how he works )

And regardless if i agree with them or not, its not the president's job. Its congress.  Must follow the Constitution, or there isn't one.

Explain that conclusion please.  Most presidents increase their net worth by tens or hundreds of millions of dollars while and after in office.  Mr. Trump's net worth has decreased.

He also gives it out. Which is my point.

Get what you give.

WTF you smoking? I don't think there's a politician in existence who has been more on the receiving end than Trump.
