Assuming Trump, nor Cruz, nor Kasich get to the magic number of delegate, who do you think will really be the eventual nominee of the party? 

Will it be Romney?  How about Ryan?  Myabe the establishment will go with Kasich?  What do you think?

What happened to a citizen controlled government?  Of the people, by the people, for the people.

Last time I checked, the Constitution began with the words "We the People", not "We the Career Politicians and Government Bureaucrats."

I think former military aircraft should count under 2A for the "spirit" of the law. I'll take an F-15 please.

You might get it cheap, but the upkeep will kill you.

President Obama agrees with them. I'm not sure if you read that article that Gary posted, but it is a good read. I think Obama even calls them free riders, and he's not shy about it. It's a problem, for sure. Everyone leans on us for the initiative and then lets us do the dirty work.
They're not paying their "fair share".

I'm impressed!!  High income, low expense, a good place to be.  A wise old guy once told me that if your paying taxes, you're making money.  ;D

Gary

Not when I can buy a new top end Lexus for what is confiscated from my income every year. It's an outrage.

That is odd, since Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are convinced we don't pay our 'fair' share...

They are liars and they know they are liars.

"A tax advocacy group on Wednesday revealed that Americans spend more on taxes than their whole budget for food, clothing and housing."

I don't know about you guys, but taxes are by far the largest expense I have. By FAR.

As a CPA chained to my desk until April 15th I just want to say that I hate your guts.

Enjoy Sun-n-Fun.

I sincerely hope that President Trump makes your job redundant so that you can make more productive use of your financial acumen.

That's one scary looking chick.  No disrespect to chickens intended.

Racist!

I'm very pro manufacturing as I've mentioned above. That being said, when I was looking for a free weight set a few years ago, I could not find one made in the US for any price.

I bought a 310# weight set made in China. It is unfathomable to me that shipping literal dead weight across the Pacific Ocean, and then trucking it across the country, could be cheaper than having steel weights made in Gary, Indiana or Pittsburgh, PA.

I'm not so sure. The establishment doesn't want to lose its power, so they may very well try something. I haven't heard Reince Preibus actually deny the possibility.

Huck.

You would think with $2 BILLION of free media coverage that The Donald would be OK with a question or two.  Instead he just wants to have his own open platform, because, you know, these media outlets make MILLIONS just by having Trump on. They should be paying HIM!  :rolleyes:

THIS is what is ironic:

"He's hostile towards media personalities that question him and he tries to control them every way he can. That's pretty sad."

I can think of two others that this describes perfectly. One is already in the White House and the other is re-measuring the windows for new drapes.

Trump's treatment of the media is pretty indicative of how he would treat them as President Trump. There is a lot to be said for his ability to push back against the liberal media and not put up with their crap, but the overall treatment is poor. He's hostile towards media personalities that question him and he tries to control them every way he can. That's pretty sad.

OH! The irony...

The Florida prosecutor who brought battery charges against Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, supports Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president.
