Yikes…..That seems like a really long list. Does anyone know what the league average looks like? Or how this year’s number compares to recent Bills’ rosters?

GQP: A 30 PERCENT NATIONAL SALES TAX
SoCal Deek replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So here’s the thing, if you’ll actually listen. All EVERYONE really cares about is their take home pay. This is true whether you are rich, poor, or somewhere in the middle. If we evolve to a national sales tax, which I don’t support, everyone’s take home pay would evolve to compensate for the significant change in our system. Would it be done without a ton of jabbering…nope. But it would evolve. Once again, you pay a local sales tax every single day and you don’t give it a moments thought. You just pay it. Why? Because over time it’s become part of the built-in American taxation system. And for what it’s worth, the reason we have the system we have now is NOT to benefit the rich! It’s to allow the political class to hold power over the electorate by using the tax rates as campaign fodder. -

So Gene, you trust the system as it is NOW? Including the thousands of pages of tax code? As I’ve said, I’m not actually in favor of a national sales tax. It unevenly taxes those who spend almost of their monthly income on purchases. But….do you ever question your local sales tax? Nope. You just pay it. Everyone does. Why? Because there are little to no loopholes. Put another way; you’re swimming in water and don’t even realize you’re wet. 😉 -
Hunter Biden's Laptop Thread

I’m doing great! It’s a bit chilly here in California today, but bright and sunny. Speaking at a conference later this afternoon if you’d like to come on out. -

Who are the ‘them’ and the ‘us’? By the way, you do realize the same untrustworthy ‘thems’ are running things now, right? 😉 -

Your skepticism is well warranted Gene. But this sort of a change is so big you’d be a fool to think it could ever be enacted without other connected changes to pay scales, the tax code, etc. -

What is it that you’d like to know? -

Here’s what you’re missing: If you make a major change in the taxation system, you’re also going to see other major changes at the same time, and/or over the following few years. It’s foolish fear mongering to think that everything else in the American economic system would remain the same. Again, I do not support a national sales tax. -

While don’t support a national sales tax, the tweet is typical unserious thinking. -
I watched some of her interview on Hannity. Note, that I’ve already called her a clown. But…what she’s talking about is ‘divorcing’ the states from the federal government, not from one another. While in-artful in her presentation, as is usual, she’s expressing concern from her constituents over the ever expanding over arching authority of the centralized DC power base. Now THAT is a discussion worth having. Or…you guys can keep screaming at each other about muskets and fighter jets.

Don’t sugar coat it. Tell us how absolutely screwed we really are. 😉

Yikes! You’ve never heard of Mollie Hemingway? She’s probably one of the smartest, calmest voices on the media scene today.
