        The fight is 1% ad buys vs the ability to read. Who you got?

        We are about to see billions in lying propaganda plus millions more in free media from 1% lapdog outlets, in the service of the 1% stealing trillions.

        If Americans are not smart enough to get this shot down then frankly we don't deserve to keep our democracy anyway.

        It's going to come down to how stupid the public is.

              The things that stand out to me are: repealing the estate tax, eliminating the AMT (though if they really get rid of most deductions, that becomes less necessary anyway), and lowering the corporate rate.

              The home building industry will throw a fit, but Fark them anyway.

              I'm not saying it's a great plan, but in normal times it wouldn't be horrendous as a starting point for negotiations. Obviously this isn't normal times and there won't be any compromises to get any dems on board.

              But I was expecting worse.

                Anything cutting the estate tax is a non-starter. My offer, Senator, is nothing.



                I would be willing to cut corporate rates in exchange for raising capital gains to the level of earned income and raising the higher income personal tax rates. The people who make the money from corporations should pay taxes. The companies themselves should just be regarded as machines for creating products and jobs.

                I would cut taxes on the middle class and raise them on the rich. The Democrats never make the obvious trade-off -- the rich have gotten fat and happy and looted the treasury since 1981, if not 1961.

                We gave them a 30- to 50- year loan.

                Time to pay it back.

                    Kep, it's you and Dr. Mrs. right? Sounds like two solid earners.

                    Are you sure you're not ... < dramatic bah-buh-bah music here > ... the rich ...?

                    How about you and the good missus out of the "pay it back" spirit just 2x what you owe the IRS this year. Or 3x? 5x?


                    Anybody who makes less than me is destitute.
                    Anybody who makes more than me is rich.

                            If you believe the Feds need more money, quit talkin' and start writing zeros on your check.

                                Do you really not understand the fallacy in that argument?
