[snip]Brazen story... ordinarily trigger a front-page news story or an outraged editorial — a bunch of rich individuals asking Congress to write them a law that would give them better negotiating power against other rich individuals.

[snip]Bezos, Slim, and Buffett need Congress to help them negotiate with Google.

[I want the USA back]

Not a cent!

[TADSLOS]

Federal Bailouts is a business model that works....for the cronies.

[hal ogen]

Each “news”paper is a destroyer of innocent trees. They represent the significant crime against nature. Maybe if they were producing anything of substance instead of continuous lies, omissions and distortions...

[Taxman]

“Renovate K Street....send the lobbyists home.”

If you really want to do that, help us pass H.R.25 & S.18, the “Fair Tax Act of 2017.”

Quoting FRom the legislation: (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/18)

“This bill is a tax reform proposal that imposes a national sales tax on the use or consumption in the United States of taxable property or services in lieu of the current income and corporate income tax, employment and self-employment taxes, and estate and gift taxes. The rate of the sales tax will be 23% in 2019, with adjustments to the rate in subsequent years. There are exemptions from the tax for used and intangible property, for property or services purchased for business, export, or investment purposes, and for state government functions.

“Under the bill, family members who are lawful U.S. residents receive a monthly sales tax rebate (Family Consumption Allowance) based upon criteria related to family size and poverty guidelines.

“The states have the responsibility for administering, collecting, and remitting the sales tax to the Treasury.

“Tax revenues are to be allocated among: (1) the general revenue, (2) the old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, (3) the disability insurance trust fund, (4) the hospital insurance trust fund, and (5) the federal supplementary medical insurance trust fund.

“No funding is authorized for the operations of the Internal Revenue Service after FY2021.

“Finally, the bill terminates the national sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (authorizing an income tax) is not repealed within seven years after the enactment of this bill.”

By replacing the Communist Manifesto inspired progressive income tax and abolishing the IRS, the FAIRtax eliminates the kinds of tax code abuses/manipulations that have kept many thousands of lobbyists employed, much to the benefit of certain individuals/groups/businesses/industries and the detriment of We the People: (Excerpted FRom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_in_the_United_States)

“A report in The Nation in 2014 suggested that while the number of 12,281 registered lobbyists was a decrease since 2002, lobbying activity was increasing and “going underground” as lobbyists use “increasingly sophisticated strategies” to obscure their activity.[9] Analyst James A. Thurber estimated that the actual number of working lobbyists was close to 100,000 and that the industry brings in $9 billion annually.[9]”

In closing, I can confidently assert that:

America will never be a FRee country so long as we have an income tax and an IRS!

[GOPJ]

Pity Parties for egomaniac billionaires who trash traditional Americans and our President?

...Shielded billionaire deceivers from the natural consequences that lies and bias equals lost readers?

Gimme a break...

Only Republicans stupid enough to back this are John McCain and Lindsey Graham... Hey McCain - "Meet The Press" is calling for your ugly face to appear on TV to damage Republicans... run for it.

[ichabod1]

Pretty sure Bezos is a CIA officer.

[Enlightened1]

Don’t give a taxpayer penny to these Traitors.

Furthermore, they are Billionaires and can easily bail out their rags.

[ichabod1]

I think McCain and Graham are CIA operatives as well.

"WaPo and NYT wouldn’t be so “economically squeezed” if they abandoned their fervent yellow journalism."

Well, personally, I would say that their journalism has gone from yellow to brown..with both colors corresponding to body waste output.

[Grampa Dave]

[Grampa Dave]

Let supply and demand take care of the problem in a free market, not the Deep State!

Carlos Slim is a Mexican nationalist pushing for open borders and sweet deals re trade.

Slim and his fellow elite and very white Mexican nationalists do more meddling in our politics in a day than the Russian have in decades.

What Country provided at least 90% of those illegal voters. It wasn’t Russia/Russia!

Mexico has been interfering with our elections since LBJ was president. It isn’t the evil Russians interfering with our elections it is the evil and elite white rulers of the Mexican Government and their illegals here.

Recently, hundreds of illegal aliens and other sanctuary city advocates filled the Texas House gallery to protest a bill that will protect Texans from criminal illegal aliens.

During that protest some illegal aliens held signs saying ‘I am illegal and here to stay.’ Texas Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi then decided to call ICE on the self described illegals.

The Russia/Russia bs is just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections. The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rino’s, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!

Mexico has been interfering in our elections since LBJ!

Illegals and their liberal supporters threatening Texas legislators for daring to uphold our laws re immigration in the Gallery @ the Texas Legislature Building.

How many millions of $’s/Pesos has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals in America, since LBJ?

How much Mexican money did Obama and Clinton receive personally and for their elections?

How many illegal Mexicans voted for Illiarily in the last election and for Obama's two terms?

How many illegal Mexicans voted for rats in our cities, counties, states and of course at our federal level?

How many Hispanic tv channels like Univision, do we have on Comcast, Direct TV, Dish TV and other tv providers, that we pay for and don’t speak Spanish? Who owns those Spanish only channels? Why do we have to pay for Spanish TV channels/stations, when we don’t speak Spanish?

Who owns the NY Slimes and other election meddling companies?

It is past time for our Congress to stop the Mexican meddling/interference/hacking at every level in America.

How many millions of $’s has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals here, at every level, city, county, state and Federal level?

Again, the Russia/Russia bs is just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections, Mexico and its illegals in America.

ATTENTION RUSSIAN AGENTS AND SPIES! If you wish to collude with candidate Trump take a number and be seated.

The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rino’s, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!

It is time to enforce our standing laws against illegal Mexican immigration and Mexican illegals voting!

Carlos Slim is from a Lebanese family. Global elite.

[ColdOne]

If they give them this does Trump have to sign off on it?

[Steve Van Doorn]

Turner Broadcasting (CNN) will likely be on that list?
