Doesn't make a lick of sense to me to allow the America hating, freedom hating Democrats back into power now that we've kicked them out.
Say yes to sovereignty for America and continued freedom for all Americans.
Say no to the RATS!!
Overall or tonight? Tonight seemed special and I don't include it in my judgement.
Anyways, it seems he got his wish again.
Cheers

Amen! We have worked so hard, for so many years, why the heck should we let them take over, again? That would be nuts! I hope that, eventually, the rest of the country will have a "Southern" type transformation, politically speaking.
I can't wait to read the rest of the thread.
Thank you all for the pings!
Prayers for Charlie...
*wicked grin* Constitutional rebuttal - the President doesn't represent anybody. He is the executive of the government of the Union and as such, is elected by the States, not the people.
hee hee...just being a little s***.
You think Jim Rob shouldn't put himself on the line, eh?
The 38% figure is a compilation of Federal (approaching 24%) and State (approaching 14%) Taxation Burden.
And the 14% Regulatory Burden is certainly NOT impossible to quantify. The compliance cost in man-hours alone approaches $900 Billion. Not to mention the cost of HR Block.
Hundreds of Billions of Dollars which are being lost to the US Economy every year by virtue millions of man-hours of shuffling paperwork.
I suppose that next you are going to sob Tears of Mourning over all those poor, destitute Accountants who will be put outta work if we rationalized the Tax System.
Oh, fer the love of Mercy -- Cry me a River, Torie. My favorite accountant also runs a nice little Italian Food Shop on the side -- He's Cuban, so he knows how to cook; it's good Pizza, and it's a Cash Business he doesn't report to the IRS.
I'm willing to venture that, in providing Pizza and Lasagna and Fettucini for all those middle-class entrepreneurs who work an extra two hours after 5pm and want to come home to a hot meal, he does more definitive Economic Good off of that Pizza Shop than he does shuffling Tax Paperwork all day.
He's really a good Cook, you know. And he's a very good Accountant.
But what need have we for Accountants... if we could eliminate the Income Tax in favor of a basic 30% Retail Tax?? (and I am alone among my Retail Tax compatriots, in that I believe that House Purchases should also be taxed -- let Property-Owners pay our way, I say!! Including the $2 Trillion Dollar Housing Market into the Retail Tax could reduce the overall Tax from 30% down to 20%, fair across the board.)
The entire multi-hundred-billion-Dollar Accounting Industry is a creation of Government Fiscal Insanity. Rationalize the Tax System, and let the Accountants find their own place within the Capitalist System.
Schumpeterian Creative Destruction, Baby -- Efficiency Uber Alles. If it does not Profit Thy Fellow Man... Let it die on the vine.
Best, OP
I understand the sarcasm.
How much real persuasion happens at FR? Has the internet ruined political activism?
I heard Saber and Arne are Mary Matalin and Carville, but who knows.
I still think the regulatory figure (whereever you got it from) is largely misleading and tendentious. But that is a can of worms in and of itself, and we would have to spend hours defining our terms, and our sources, and what we mean, and how much of it is a justified internalization of costs into the price system, and how much of it is just taxation by another name. And so it goes.
