A classic pattern. Demand sources, skip reading, and call you an idiot. -

Doing one's own research is excellent as long as you check the source for credibility and ideally find multiple unique sources rather than cherry-picking or stopping at the first sign that your bias is supported. X is a critical enabler for accessing sources from all sides. -
In deference to the esteemed Vak, it is incumbent upon this humble observer to proffer a lighthearted rejoinder couched in the refined vernacular often ascribed to legal discourse. Pray, permit me to opine that Vak's commendable perspicacity in discerning the purportedly opinion-laden nature of the midmost three sentences is not without merit. However, one must proffer a jestful demurral, positing that the alignment of dissent with two assertions and concurrence with a singular proposition bears semblance to the capricious musings of a legal brief, where the scales of allegiance may tilt with an unpredictable equipoise. This amiable repartee, while embracing the spirit of camaraderie, endeavors to evoke a whimsical appreciation for the nuances of Vak's discerning critique. #LawyerSpeak

If we keep this thread civil, I'll pull stats on request. AI assisted a script to comb through content for a member profile. I'm not going to run analysis at scale and don't have access the the database where it'd be an easy report.

Why do I care?

Ukraine. We must have our own house in order before helping others. We are fiscally irresponsible. Corporations. They are not people and should have limited lobbying influence on politics. Nato. No free rides. Trump. The War Powers Resolution and constitutional powers of the president and Congress need revisited. Suspicious does not warrant a death penalty. Blowback is real. Patriot Act. This is unwarranted expansion of government power over its people. India. DemLight supports sellings weopons to boost the US economy. I do not support war profiteering. Mergers are fine. Monopolies are bad. They limit the benefits from competition. The actions of others and laws do not make right and wrong.

Who knows? That is the literature for my opinion based on personal experience and critical thought.

It is tax season and politics season. My property taxes have increased 30%. My insurance costs are significantly up. My purchase power is down 25%. Some folks on here want the government to take progressively more and more.

Some questionables about Haley from isidewith.com Increase the money to Ukraine Lower corp taxes from where they currently are Corporations, unions, and non-profit organizations should be allowed to donate to political parties Protect NATO countries regardless of how little they contribute financially The president should be able to take military action without Congress approval Supports the Patriot Act U.S. should assassinate suspected terrorists in other countries U.S. should sell military weapons to India to counter Chinese and Russian influence Grant citizenship to children of illegal immigrants born in America Working illegal immigrants be given temporary amnesty if they pay taxes The government should give tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry. The government should allow mega-mergers of large companies

Everyone should be treated equally, meaning everyone should be flat-taxed at the same rate regardless of income. I generally don't care that someone makes $30M annually and another makes $10K yearly. I do not care that some people have an easier path through generational wealth. I care if the person making $10K a year lacks the opportunity to earn more for themself and their heirs. Government intervention may be required to prevent monopolies of opportunity but not to swipe higher rates of one's money. I recognize the same tax rate has a higher burden on low-income people... but this is countered through welfare services to meet basic needs. If there is not enough tax revenue... then increase the flat tax on all people until it is. Tax realized capital gains as income at the same flat tax rate.

Ah, taxes – Which system is better? Progressive taxation with varying rates based on income or a flat tax system applying a uniform rate for all? First, what are the considerations for choosing which system is better? Example: simplicity, economic growth, social impact, fairness, equity Second, what is the appropriate threshold for each consideration? Example: Simplicity Companies send a flat rate percentage from individual paychecks to the government. No individual annual tax form is required. No deductions, exemptions, or special considerations. Finally, which system is better at addressing those considerations? Example: A flat tax rate is better for simplicity.
