When I got out of bed today the first thing on my list of concerns was just what was of concern to EU finance ministers?

Then I remembered they have an Islam problem much bigger to worry about.

Don’t think this is over. I predict the Dems will seek an injunction to stop it.

I fully expect that within five minutes after President Trump signs tax reform into law, some liberal judge somewhere will declare it illegal.

Funny, they seem to have no problem that I, as a private citizen, have to pay double taxes.

As a matter of fact, they actually aided and abbetted when the previous administration essentially did away with my right privacy by forcing the banks around the world do supply anything the IRS might like to have, at any time, for any reason, without informing me in advance. IIRC they couldn’t bend over fast enough in order to comply - even if it meant making me a third class member of society with less rights than any other person here (citizen or non-citizen).

They even forced their own citizens to file paperwork with the banks that stated that they are not “US Persons” (citizen / green card holder).

Sorry if I don’t “feel their pain” ....

Taxation is a power exclusively committed to Congress under Article I. Some unenlightened District Court judge might grant such an injunction, but it will go the SCOTUS faster than poop through a goose and that injunction will be gone faster than spit on a hot skillet.

I love metaphors.

WE DON’T GIVE A CRAP WHAT THE E.U. SAYS OR THINKS..

We don’t give a crap what the Democrats or Main Stream Media says or thinks...

Keep winning....

BTW ???

Any form of Democrat’s tax increase is a form of “ FORCED REPARATIONS “ from the productive class.

They are accustomed to the US Government screwing American taxpayers and using our tax money to aid European countries.

So now they think it’s unfair for President Trump to TRY to put American taxpayers first.

I say TRY because he has to fight all libtards, commies, snowflakes and other democrats.

Plus all the never-Trumpers, the UN, all musims, most blacks, many RINO’s. and everyone else in the Big-Gov Swamp.

Who determines what a “fair tax” for ANY country should be, but your own legislative system, anyway?

What is any criteria for a “fair tax” supposed to look like? Taxes exist for a means to supply revenue to the legitimate government, but the legal intent is often perverted to include direct control over individuals and corporations, through a whole scheme of granting exemptions and exceptions to “encourage” certain patterns of behavior.

We can move the UN out of the US and revoke their visas!

Socialism can’t compete with Capitalism and Freedom.

Actually the EU economy isn't really socialist. It's corporatist, which is to say fascist. They regulate their corporations in a manner so as to give preference to those corporations that contribute most to the material well being of the state. And you're right, they can't compete with freedom.
