Really excuse me for repetition but for those in the back: the problem with the U.S. isn’t that it is too capitalist, the problem is IT IS NOT CAPITALIST ENOUGH. We are stuck with so many leaders presenting themselves as scions of business when all of them are less Ayn Randish and much more Stalinist: ELON MUSK DONALD TRUMP ALEX KARP MELTY ICE CREAM THIEL HAVE SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS IF NOT ALL FROM SOCIALIZED GOVERNMENT-SUBSIDIZED-WELFARE-MOMS-TO-THE-NTH-DEGREE CAPITAL THEY WOULD NEVER EARN OF THEIR OWN BUSINESS MERITS.
This inflation of position and authority creates a significant societal problem as the cream does not rise to the top and I’ll let you fill in the blank with your own nomenclature as to what does——-> ________________.
Thus, as we establish our new society as this one goes kaput, let’s keep taxes in the single digits for the good of all, and furthermore, limit it as much as humanly possible only for essential services and little else.

schengen duh? tax, tax, tax without think, think, think.


when this factoid makes it off the news and into the gun-toting social media feeds, no boost to any security team will save executives especially when everyone saw what happened in minn i.e. total vigilantism from the state such that even the NRA is pissed oh! probably better to pay out homeowners and reduce bloodshed, really.

opinions are a dime a dozen but i probably would not vote for this (not that i care where anyone lives) but:
1) if only to keep that much money out of Sacramento
2) there are folks that donate a significant portion of their wealth, are they exempt?
3) we saw gross mismanagement and/or corruption of homeless funds (plus box buildings without parks, landscaping i.e. everything that makes an environment safe, pleasant & liveable)
4) municipal & counties do most schools not states (junior college system in Cali is a high value sleeper hit, so education funds should not go to the state coffers)
5) why not set up a donation system like a wedding registry so better coordination between donors & social needs that involves an element of choice rather than forcing money in the hands of people who may not execute well
6) capital is not cash so they are trying to tax unrealized wealth—makes no sense.
going to have to agree with gross thiel on this one!
