But your argument comes crashing down due to the fact that these states take less as a percentage of their revenues from the federal government. Chart two I posted clearly shows that. If they were taking from the federal government as many seem to think the numbers don’t pan out as such. If anything the numbers clearly show the reddest if red states give far les yet take far far more. So if it’s “winning” and “punishment” we are after that’s a sad situation to be in as we should be for all who contribute not a war of us vs. them

That’s part of the GOOD part. It’s all good except for wherever there’s a tax increase - but it isn’t enough. First shot over the bow. Much more needs to come.

Don’t let these corrupt politicians and the mostly unconstitutional federal government off the hook. Don’t let these tyrants take more than 10-to-15% of people’s hard earned money.

Why isn’t it retroactive? I need it for my 2017 income tax returns.

My gosh, on post # 49 you said, I am still of the opinion Trump is a FReeper and posts here.

NM said he has no idea if it's Trump whereas you say you think it is.

I guess I would think your opinion would be based on more than just a FR ID.

As I said. It is just my opinion. Nothing more. If you don’t like that response, well sorry. If I had evidence, I would say that and would also indicate it is more than my opinion. Take care.

That’s fine, but whatever evidence is used to form the opinion, it is still an opinion. Bye.

you’re assuming that all states have to pay equally. I don’t know what it is you’re arguing and I don’t really care.

The fact that the tax bill makes every state accountable for their own local taxes, with no compensation given from the federal government, is fair.

Local and state taxes have absolutely nothing to do with federal taxes. They should never have been commingled in the first place. They are each intended for completely different purposes.

You’re obviously quite emotional over this, giving your inflammatory statements and volatile words intending to sway anyone listening. Kind a like a liberal journalist. It is better to be detached and see things objectively, like a conservative would. OK I’m done with your emotional outburst and you’re being condescending. You can have the last word but I am done here.

It's just an enlarged animated gif image...like so.

Remember to add the height tag.

Giphy.com is a good place to find gifs.

I copied and pasted the image address from Giphy.com. "https://media2.giphy.com/media/4vB6sklJcnUyY/200.webp#6-grid1". It didn't have ".gif" at the end but it worked anyway.

If it doesn't have a ".gif" at the end, like this one, how do you know you can copy and paste the video?

No, you would have to convert a very short segment of a youtube video to a gif and then post the location of that gif to play it on FR.

This site will let you drop a link to a youtube and turn all of it, or a small part of it into a gif.
