Recent unsettling revelations would indicate that, more and more, the US Chamber of Commerce is working for foreign nationals and corporations. Big business has been sending American jobs to other nations for a long time. Our current Congress has tried several measures to stop the bleeding and to bring some of those jobs back to Americans.

We move once a month, and are always looking for a new troll to pave. This is a VERY low ping list ~~ normally, twice a month ~~ when we move at the first of the month and mid-month, as a reminder.
We took the original ZOT! thread (jj_fate will live forever!) and went to the end of the Internet...
WE, however, continued in the Flying Castle...because we CAN! Join us!
You’re out of place here, Friend. You surely don’t understand how taxes work. It is the duty of each and every American citizen to keep their tax liability as low as possible. It is the only way to curtail the ambitions of a Federal Government hell bent on full bore ‘central planning’. The only thing stopping them is their inability to pay for their programs. It is the power we exercise. Even if the Fed raises rates, the historic level of revenue is roughly 19% GDP because that action causes us to change our behavior.
The supreme court has said “the legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted. (U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sutherland, Gregory vs. Helvering, 293 U.S. 465, 1965.
“Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as
possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the
treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.
Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister
in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone
does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any
public duty to pay more than the law demands.”

If you want to address income ‘inequality’ go after the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. Their action only helps the quick and the rich. (like now)
Inflation is the cruelest tax of all.
But I take no comfort, and see considerable risk, in conducting monetary policy that has the consequence of transferring income from the poor and the worker and the saver to the rich. Senior citizens and others who saved and played by the rules are earning nothing on their savings, while big debtors and too-big-to-fail oligopoly banks benefit from their subsidy.

“That is what wiped out the Clinton surplus Bush inherited. That and two wars.”
The so-called “Clinton surplus” was NEVER the Clinton surplus.
That surplus was the result of tax and spending changes the post-1994-election Congress FORCED into the budgets. In the final stage of that force, parts of the Federal apparatus in Washington were left unfunded and temporarily shut down, with only temporary funding for other operations passed until Clinton agreed to the changes - the changes the GOP in Congress forced on him, the changes that resulted in the so-called “Clinton surplus”.
Stupid is as stupid does, and yinz is stupid.
Now that's funny.

“When Bloomberg magazine polled wealthy investors only 24% considered investing in America while the rest cited China, India and Brazil. When the rich get extra cash ( tax cuts ) they invest it. They will take the cut and send that money to China, India and Brazil.”
“Wealthy investors” represent a class of investors, and not the bulk of domestic capital investment in the U.S. which comes from the investment of institutions - pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds and the like.
They, wealthy individual investors, also take bigger risks than institutional investors, since it is their money they are risking, they can afford to; and emerging markets that are growing rapidly have more opportunities to take higher risks - for higher returns; which comes back to their accounts, which adds to their taxable income - here in the U.S. Big deal.
LOL! May he reign!
You didn’t tell us about the feral attack zombie deer...how do they interact with the Dustbunnies, Zombies and Dwarves? Are they in the Lower Levels?
Do we need a “special place” for them? Will they obey your commands? Or do we need to place a basilisk in charge of them?
Answer on the UT. I’m sure I’m not the only denizen who is concerned. What will they do to the kudzu?
Those jobs are never coming home. if the corporations and their congressional stooges get their way .
