Taxes should be fun....it's just a long list things to deduct. These deductions mostly come thanks to republicans.
My property tax is around 6k a year for my house. I'm not interested in trying to pin blame on our tax system. If you want to blame republicans, cool. I'm just saying that in my opinion, we have too many things counted as deductions. I don't think state taxes should be 100% deductible, especially when states like California are actively working to usurp federal law with their sanctuary bullshit.
It's not blaming, I'm thanking. Those tax credits can make a bad year financially tolerable.
Why should I as a business owner have to pay in at every turn? The Workmen's Comp. it's a tax. The state and federal unemployment tax. Social Security matching responsibilities are tax. How many times do I have to pay him? That's why I was initially excited about trumps tax reform but really he just meant tax reform for him and people in his income bracket.
Aren't Republicans supposed to be the champion of free market Low tax economics? Are you now going for a tax increase? And if so on who? Never on you right?
I thought he was going to simultaneously lower taxes and raise spending just like Reagan.

Huh?! Was it his last?
He's gone. What's even more rich is that the NY Times article is what really got the ball rolling on this. I just love that irony.
Maybe he can work for the Trump administration now? Pussy grabber and hot chocolate...together they fight crime.

Re: US Politics Thread
Bill O'Rielly had an awesome show.
Was it really "awesome" tho in any way? All those political big talking face shows, none are much good in any way. Did he invent the genre? If so, then I guess it was groundbreaking in that sense. But aside from that, it's just all filler & fluff. Here's a breakdown of a daily epsiode:
2 minute intro of the episodes 4 main stories
2 minute commercial break
6 minutes talking about the days top story.
4 minute commercial break
6 minutes talking with some nitwit via satellite/skype about Topic 2
4 minute commercial break
2 minute update on the bottom of the hour (8:30).
2 minute commercial break
6 minutes with 2 more nitwits arguing on split screen
4 minute commercial break
6 minutes talking about a made up story #4
4 minute commercial break
2 minutes of the humorous bit "Nitwit of the day" or whatever he had.
2 minute commercial break
2 minute daily recap and intro into who's next.
Sorry, but all those shows are very formulaic. When you break it down, they really only need to spend 6-10 minutes on the main subject or two, after that they're just filling the backend with garbage.
Re: US Politics Thread
Loving the Anderson Cooper 360 panel debating O'Reily as the top story.
Fox News is a subscription channel here for some reason, curious what their coverage of this is like

I was joking.
So much for draining the swamp...now Trump is part of the swamp.
That was my point.
You're so white it's gross.
Racist!
Bill O'Rielly had an awesome show.
In the early 2000s it was great. He called it down the middle. Then it just spiraled out of control and went down the toilet.
