I like to pretend I know what's going on in this thread, but it's just became a duel between Chula, elph, and Ant. It's actually entertaining.

Did you miss the part of my post where I said fix the estate tax rules so the rich can't dodge them and have to pay fair amounts????

Also, I think you missed my edit where I did some math on your behalf.

An economic advisor just said that if Trump's current tax plan was in place back in 2005 (last time Trump disclosed a tax return), Trump would have only paid $7 million on his earnings instead of the $37 million he actually paid.

:beer: awesome tax plan dude (quote from an anonomous mega rich person) :beer:

Why do you complain about things I already acknowledged? See the second paragraph from the post you quoted.

If the estate tax is being abolished (assuming some variation of Trump's plan passes), then there won't be an opportunity to fix the estate tax unless someone brings it back in four years or something. But since he's not abolishing the exit tax, then my suggestions on how it should be amended currently in order to be more effective than it currently is would be a path forward. :)

We'll just have to see how things play out here since it seems to be a work in progress.

Obama fired Flynn.

Once again, Obama fired Flynn.

Again, the money math doesn't amount to anything. Why are you focusing on the exit tax so much? Whether the expats amount to $10 billion or $100 billion, it trickles down to nothing in the big picture of things (see what I did there?).

Not f-cking with the current estate tax and making it fair across the board would be a million more times significant to the populace. But you've already made it perfectly clear that you dig the "rich get richer - F-the poor" mindset.

Do you know why? All I can find when I research it is that it was insubordination, which for all I know could mean that Obama asked Flynn to get him some coffee and Flynn refused.

there's no bigger crime that you can commit

He was fired for speaking out against the official WH viewpoints over and over again. Wild cannon **** that, in the big picture, were not healthy for an administration and it's ability to govern and make policy.

Trump trying to lay the vetting blame on Obama is beyond pathetic.

Don't let a tree get in the way of the forest. Trump's team totally ****ed up with Flynn.





Just heard that 56% of Americans think Russia is an ally.

*my forehead simply can't take anymore abuse*

Thanks, anything about that was buried over the news story we're discussing.

This is incredibly ironic.

I'm curious if Elph and Chula think that people who ruin their lives need to take some responsibility in fixing them or just simply get supported forever because "woe is me".
