Personal Freedom's and the Hypocrisy of the Republican Party

There you go Red, the Rich will save us all! Tax the rich for the crap the Govt. spends.

 

You mean the people who already pay the highest effective rates? The people who earn 40% of the income but hold 55% of the tax burden?

Oil companies are not subsidized. That is a liberal lie.

They aren't. Oil companies are taxed to the hilt at every phase in the process. They deduct all those taxes and sometimes don't owe income taxes.

Yes! Restricting trade is always good for everyone.

 

notice that inequality is worse in oil country and around wall street.



better be in the top 1%. If these charts don't alarm you, and show the path this country is headed....Like uh... Mexico.... You are a fascist.

 

How exactly do you interpret all that? I don't think you can relate any of those charts into a coherent point.

 

i cant even make the major leagues. a-rod has hundreds of HR. i have zero. and he is just widening the gap. somebody should break his legs because i would be hitting some HR but he is taking all of them from me.

 

The naming of a bill does not fool anyone who knows the difference between a business deduction and a subsidy. If a congressmen introduces a bill called "the eradicate carcinogens act of 2011" and then the bill details how M&Ms will all be destroyed does that make M&Ms carcinogens. No. They are still just delicious little candies.

Everything that bill talks about is a tax break designed to incentivize some activity the government finds favorable. None of those things are subsidies.

the applicable definition of subsidy is:

Tax rules allowing a corps or individuals to keep more of the money they earn don't meet that definition.

You got a problem with the tax code. Fine. Argue that. But don't lie and call legitimate cost of business deductions subsidies. No one is going to take you seriously.

 

I have had a number of E&O clients in my day. I know they would not drill domestically if they could not acclerate the depreciation of capital related to dryholes.

What you fail to understand is inspite of these huge profits these companies operate on tiny margins. They make money on volume.

No. If you paid me $100 to wear a red hat you have subsidized me. If you allow me to keep the $100 I earned you have given me a tax break.

 

Watching Red get consistently pounded and still not admit it is great fun.
