Spin Zone / Re: Biden Calls for 44.6% Capital Gains Tax Rate
« on: April 25, 2024, 12:43:21 PM »
This is an economic nightmare
It would be a nightmare if enacted, but it comes from a socialist wish-list that has yet (fortunately) to make much headway. The article posted by Lucifer helpfully linked to the Administration 2025 revenue proposal document:
https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/General-Explanations-FY2025.pdf#page86

I found the same 44.6% marginal rate note in the revenue proposals for 2024:
https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/General-Explanations-FY2024.pdf#page86

Both contain the 44.6% sentence at the bottom of page 80 on the 2025 revenue proposals and page 79 on the 2024 proposals.

Could not find it in the 2023 revenue proposal document. The following link appears to be a repository for such proposals going back to 1990:

My dentist has forbidden me to use mouthwash.  I’m in the middle of getting an implant and something about the gum healing over the bone graft which takes like 6 months and mouthwash isn’t good for it.  I’ll have to ask but I got the idea he doesn’t like it in general because of the alcohol being too much of a drying agent.
I have heard that you shouldn't use mouthwash with alcohol after dental surgery because it damages the new healing cells.

Clifford and Daisy May were married for many years.
Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. Clifford would shout, "When I die, I'll dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life ol' woman!!"
Neighbors feared him. Old Clifford liked the fact that he was feared.
He died at the ripe old age of 98.
After the burial, Daisy May's neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?"
She replied, "LET HIM DIG. I HAD HIM BURIED UPSIDE DOWN...AND I KNOW HE WON'T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS."

Let's say 99% of illegals are just looking for a better life, are good people, want a job, and will end up paying taxes and eventually assimilating.

And let's say 1% are criminal psychopaths, which is the actual estimate in the general population. Assume for the sake of argument that the rate of psychopathy among illegals is no higher than that among U.S. citizens.

Almost 7.3 million illegals crossed the border just during the Biden administration, as of February, 2024.

7,300,000 x .01 = 73,000.

So we have 73,000 newly arrived criminally inclined psychopaths just in the past 3 years.

So the argument that illegals are simply looking to escape poverty and be accepted with open arms is technically correct 99% of the time, but doesn't hold water if you are trying to defend the idea that we should just let them all in. A process of vetting would weed out those with a violent criminal history, ties to terrorist organizations, or no discernible job skills meaning they'd just be a parasite.  Without control over who enters our country, we aren't a country; no point in even having borders.
I also like to point out the hypocrisy of the left when it comes to illegal aliens vs gun control.

They say that illegals are "mostly peaceful" and looking for work to improve their lives.  Only a few of them are criminals.  You shouldn't punish the majority because of a small minority.

But when it comes to gun control, even though most gun owners are law abiding and peaceful, the left wants to take guns away from everyone because a few are criminally inclined or mentally ill.

The only difference is that gun ownership is  constitutionally protected and legal but illegally entering the country is not.

Under Article Four Section Four of the US Constitution, pedo joe is already GUILTY of treason in not securing the border from invasion.

The scumbag senate and congressional leadership are expressly ordered by the constitution to take action when the fuckbag, traitorous president refused to secure the border.

It isn’t hard. It is just inconvenient to fucking rino and leftist democrat useless, traitorous pussies.

He’s absolutely correct in that there will be no deportation of the invaders.   The rubicon has been crossed and there is no going back.  He’s also correct about the republicans not having the will to do anything. 

 The democrat communist and the RINOs are already talking about mass amnesty and providing citizenship for these criminals.  That will happen. 

The democrats need low information types as a base.  They definitely do not want anyone who uses critical thought or independent thought, or anyone who is hyper informed.

Exactly!  RDS would be good in a "normal" time.  We need a fighter.  We need a real wartime president.  And the enemy is within.

  Our country doesn't have a revenue problem, we have an out of control spending problem
Our spending isn't really out of control.  It is under the control of the politicians we have collectively elected.

Republicans would have a good chance of winning in November, but they are bound and determined to abort that opportunity.  Pun intended.

Spin Zone / Re: Years Late - CDC Releases Covid Vaccine Injury Reports
« on: April 06, 2024, 08:18:23 AM »
Government allows vaccines to be rushed to market, vaccine turns out to not be effective and/or has a lot of negative side effects, said government is footing the bill for vaccines and is attempting, through coercion, to mandate them.  One wonders why said government wants to suppress negative information.

  It wasn't just suppress, the government engaged in full censorship.  Under the guise of an emergency they violated everyone's constitutional rights, then went further.   Doctors who disagreed with the state controlled narrative were censored and banned, and in a few instances lost their licenses to practice.

Spin Zone / Re: Tulsi - I’m sold!
« on: April 02, 2024, 06:03:17 PM »
I liked Tulsi when liking Tulsi wasn't cool.

I think you are mostly right in that the D party changed.  But I think Tulsi changed too.  I believe that as she saw the growing hypocrisy of the democratic party she re-evaluated some of her beliefs and discovered that she had been misled by what seemed like good intentions.  I think her re-evaluation awakened some of her sensibilities.

Just like a reformed smoker is among the most vehement of anti-smoking people, I think a reformed Democrat (or communist) can be the most solid conservative.  They have seen the enemy, and it is them (with apologies to Pogo).
