Converted religion?

2019-02-06 04:05:32 UTC  

To what?

2019-02-06 04:05:45 UTC  

Became holy roman emperor as Catholic Great Britain

2019-02-06 04:06:09 UTC  

Fair enough. Protgang myself.

I always saw the anglo schism as a kind of very rare occurrence. Seeing as how Henry VIII was hugely pro-rome before he got mad about having an heir.

2019-02-06 04:07:25 UTC  

Oh I meant irl

2019-02-06 04:07:32 UTC  

Same

What is the 'truth'about taxes and tax policy? Do rich people pay too much or too little? Are there companies not paying taxes despite making immense profits, or is that not true? Why does Jeff Bezos pay no taxes despite making 11 billion? Is it a good thing or not?

The 1% hates you and wants you replaced

2019-02-24 03:41:10 UTC  

We should tax the hell out of them

2019-02-24 03:51:42 UTC  

For a more serious answer, rich people have lobbyists who lobby Congress to keep the tax code complex with a bunch of loopholes

2019-02-24 04:24:17 UTC  

A big thing is that capital gains are taxed at a much lower rate than labor income, wages.

@Jonaltright The questioned raised is one of economics. The answer will come I’m a variety of flavors, contingent of the economic perspectives of the deliverer. I’m from the supply side camp. Giving you a 30k ft perspective: Logic, statistics, and business best practices mandate that FCF (free cash flow) is used by the strategically minded to grow and propagate a business. Tax savings, as a result, are used for CAPEX expenditures, talent retention (wage growth), and a myriad of other uses. IE: businesses saving on taxes isn’t hypothetically bad because some of that money must be used in order for said business to thrive.

Ok, @Jacob what do you think of @Ryan -NJ stance? Also what do you ya'll make of this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iWVrbr35Eo&t=1132s

2019-02-24 04:39:51 UTC  

@Jonaltright Mind you that I don’t disagree with Jacob’s perspective. The 1% doesn’t care about any of us. My case is one of supply side Econ. In my perspective, the 1% has to give you residual benefits via mandatory forces.

2019-02-24 04:41:33 UTC  

@Jonaltright I'm too busy right now to get into it, but I'll give you an answer tomorrow

Any 1%er taking money out of this country or allowing foreign capital in should have a hard tariff placed on them. Ultranational corporations are one of the biggest threats to sovereignty.

2019-02-25 04:31:15 UTC  

American Juche is needed to rid us of parasite capital

2019-03-02 04:52:27 UTC  

Very interesting, this is what I was thinking too. But @Ryan -NJ if a corporation is supposed to be taxed a specific rate, let's say 30%, let's say government's make deals with some companies in order for a lower tax rate they do X, is this a good practice?

2019-03-02 05:48:52 UTC  

@Jonaltright That all depends. We can calculate ROI by how many jobs, wage growth, standard of living, families of European descent are brought to a given area in exchange for tax incentives.

2019-03-02 12:18:49 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ Hmm, do you know if there are companies getting these breaks on decidedly other grounds- like they bribe the politicians? I see what you mean on the ROI point, that was the idea behind NY having Amazon build a factory here: until AOC ruined the deal

2019-03-02 19:44:15 UTC  

@Jonaltright My argument is one of Economics. People and nefarious business conglomerates will always be unethical. The efficacy of supply side market economics is well established. The thing we as a group should continue to discuss is how much regulation (and who to enforce said regulation) should be the imposed on businesses in America.

Thoughts on Charles De Gaulle? ( Good optics only, let's keep this to France) I just finished a biography on him. Between the pioneering of modern armor tactics and the spearhead doctrine I would equate him to somewhat of a modern Napoleon in many ways. You could almost draw a contrast between himself and Marshal Petain as being incarnations of the martial duality of Republican France.

2019-03-06 11:40:59 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ what about leftists and some on our side that say taxes were very high post WWII and the money was used very efficiently? The right would say things only went wrong after 1967

2019-03-06 11:42:44 UTC  

(those on the right with this outlook that is)
