Thank you for you for your service. My grandfather always said with a little luck s**t will do for brains.

Well hush my mouth, I failed to realize that you knew it all!


You still cannot answer my questions regarding your statement. You said corporations do not pay taxes, they pass that "along to the consumer as a cost of doing business!!!!" IF that is true then 1) why haven't prices come down when corporations are given TAX CUTS? They didn't when raygun got his massive corporate TAX CUT in 1986 and prices have not come down since trumpy's TAX CUTS for the wealthy and corporations. WHY? 2)If corporations do not pay taxes the why do they need a TAX CUT? If you have a different, even better answer, then prey TELL!

Here's another question. If corporations do not pay taxes, then why do federal revenues go down when they are given TAX CUTS?

Remember, corporate profits were at all time highs and they were flush with lots of cash. Why weren't prices coming down and wages rising before trumpy's unnecessary, deficit increasing TAX CUTS?

Not exactly correct...SSI benefits:
Supplemental Security Income is a federally funded program administered by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA). SSI provides financial help to disabled adults and children who have limited income and assets...

People, including children, who have little income and few resources, and who have a disability, may be eligible for disability payments through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program...

It is paid through separate funding, not through Social Secuity..
Not exactly correct...SSI benefits: br Supplementa... (show quote)


You are correct in that SS, SSDI, and SSI (for those poor that never paid into SS. But in reality it all goes into and is paid out of the general Treasury. They are merely accounting entries.

"The Treasury both receives the payroll taxes (and income taxes that higher-income retirees pay on their Social Security benefits) and pays monthly benefits on behalf of the Social Security Administration (SSA). The money stays in the Treasury's hands until it is either paid out as Social Security benefits or otherwise spent by the government. In fact, no money ever goes into the trust fund. Instead, the trust fund balance is the result of two accounting entries by the Treasury.

First, the Treasury estimates how much of the aggregate tax receipts are Social Security taxes and "credits" the Social Security trust fund with that amount. Then the Treasury "subtracts" the total amount paid in monthly Social Security benefits from the trust fund balance. No money actually changes hands; these are strictly accounting entries.

Any "money" remaining in the trust fund is converted into special-issue Treasury bonds, which are really nothing more than IOUs. In addition, the Treasury pays interest on the trust fund's balance by crediting the trust fund with additional IOUs. These are also strictly accounting entries, and again no money changes hands. After crediting the trust fund with the proper amount in IOUs, the government spends the extra Social Security tax collections just like any other tax revenue--to finance anything from aircraft carriers to education research."

As an ex-marine Captain and combat veteran I must disagree with females being drafted.
There are many that have volunteered to serve in our various military. Many are fine officers.

I do not agree with putting them in harm's way but there have been some female airforce pilots who have been in actual combat.

I feel they would be best utilized as office personel, nurses and doctors serving stateside this would free up men for combat rolls.

Lighten up, old marine, that was just satire. Your attitude, though, about delegating women to stateside office personnel, nurses, etc might get you labeled a misogynist.

you just should take a class on economics , no sense in arguing.


LOL! I bet I know more about economics in my little toe than you. I have a degree in economics and worked in the banking industry for 171/2 years.

Trickle down is a bulls**t reagan lie! I suspect you can't answer the questions because you don't know. I know the answer.

IF, as you contend, that corporations don't pay taxes, they instead pass them on to their customers, then why, after their massive TAX CUTS didn't they pass that on to their customers in the form of lowering prices? Trumpy and the repulsives said, no lied, that the TAX CUTS would result in higher wages for the average workers. It didn't happen. Why? Corporate profits were at an all time high before their TAX CUT and corporations as a whole were awash in cash. So why weren't prices falling and wages rising? You don't have a clue, do you?

Maybe you should take a course in history. Raygun's steep corporate TAX CUT in 1986 did not result in higher wages for the average worker. Trickle down, expecting greedy corporations to pass TAX CUTS down to increasing worker wages and price cuts is illogical. The real reason worker wages have been stagnant over the last 40 years is because economic leverage and bargaining power that workers once had but which have been redistributed from workers to capital owners and corporate managers.

Think about it, do some HISTORICAL research into actual results of when and why wages stopped rising, and stop listening to corporate puppet politicians LIE about trickle down.

Real world economics is as much about human nature as it is theory bulls**t.

It went right over your head!


Then why don't you answer the questions and enlighten me? IF, as you (and I know others have) contend that corporations don't pay taxes, then why did trumpy and the repulsives "cut" the corporate "tax rate" from 35% to 20%? By your logic prices for their products should have dropped by the same percentage and wages for their workers should have risen as promised. Or is what your contending just BULLS**T and corporations own the politicians in DC and are just greedy mfers?

Comrades, in a great leap for cis-womyns and those who identify as having a pair (XX c********es, of course), another bastion of male privilege is dashed on the rocks!

With women in combat roles, a federal court rules the male-only draft unconstitutional

What this means to our "female" comrades is that they will be paid for doing the same crappy dangerous work, provided you check the correct answer on the application where it says "if over 18, have you registered for selective service?"

At long last, the e******y you've been waiting for! Be inconvenienced and subject to the same laws as men, Ladies, register for the draft!

Finally! Glorious e******y! Now Males AND Females can go off to die in the upcoming totally-not-imperial grow-the-size-of-our-glorious-state war! Now, what to do about the pang****red, multig****red, g****rq***r, f*ggots and attack helicopter-g****red persons...

Can you imagine the horror of the enemy running into this on the battlefield?

BREAKING...

The Colorado man who recently k**led a mountain lion with his bare hands has been called in by Colorado police for questioning after it was learned that he paid the cougar to attack him.

In his defense, he stated that the cougar was wearing a MAGA hat and threw bleach at him - he also thought he was underpaid at work and he had some drug problems, so the police might let him go - if he can demonstrate that his ancestors were victims of s***ery, oppression of homosexuals, or Jim Crow laws.



When I first saw that I thought he paid one of these

BULLS**T!

Then why did trumpy and the repulsive feel it necessary to lower the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, a nearly 45% tax rate reduction if they don't pay taxes? Did they lower price ANY? Did it cause them to give their workers raises? Or, as they were already making record profits and awash in cash, did it cause them to just buyback more of their stock to increase major shareholder's wealth?

"Why listen to a liar lie?" He's your President.


What your calling lies are not lies just because you don't agree with trumpy. And don't give me the worn out s**t about him screwing a whore or Mexico paying for the wall.

Remember b***h clinton said they were dead broke? That was a lie. Nobody cares./

Remember in 2008 when she said they were under sniper fire? That was a lie. Nobody cares.

Remember when b***h clinton said all her grandparents were immigrants? Politifact proved that a lie. Nobody cares.

Remember when b***h clinton claimed to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary? That was a lie. Nobody cares

Remember when b***h clinton claimed to be turned down by the marines? She got 2 Pinocchios for that lie. Nobody cares.

Remember when b***h clinton claimed her infamous private e-mail server was set up in “accordance with the rules and the regulations in effect.” A federal judge disagreed, saying the b***h “violated government policy” when she used a private server to store official State Department messages. Everybody cares but she will never be held accountable for that lie.

Remember when the b***h clinton was standing over the f**g-draped coffins of murdered Americans, and claimed that an insensitive YouTube video had incited the violence that occurred that night in B******i? Why? Because a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 – which it was – would have destroyed President Obama’s re-e******n chances. Everybody saw her as d********g.

But, hey, to you b***h clinton moonbaats whats a few politically expedient lies as long as her dim-0-craps stayed in power, right?

HYPOCRITE!

Do you really think the v****g sheople would even consider her? I mean if it wasn't for the moonbatty lapdogs of the media's silly fawning over her and his oliness who in the hell would even notice. She is not attractive at all and she damn sure ain't very intelligent...er wait...maybe that is what would make it a possibility because she could be so easily influenced and controlled by the real powers of DC--Corporations along with their Wall Street banksters, big oil and the military industrial corporations.
