Re: Corporate Taxes
Since corporations pass those tax costs onto their employees and customers, I would say close to zero for corporations. Certainly not more than low double digits. Current fed pov level for a family of 4 is $26.5k. So about triple that, 80k. For a family of 4 income tax (not including payroll): Inco...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
FWIW, I'm scheduled to get my first dose tomorrow in Livermore. The Veterans Transport Service is picking me up about an hour before. My second dose next month will be a bit of a logistical issue, as I'm scheduled to attend a funeral in Fair Oaks (somewhat northeast of Sac) that morning. I think I'...

Re: Biden Presser
Yup. SD has it right (as usual). Mark, JSO and Trip are 100% on record saying there was no sign of cognitive decline. As I posted before, I have unfortunate, personal experience in this field as my BIL (UD '72) reminds me a lot of Biden in looks and mannerisms. He was fine two years ago and today h...

Re: Geithner In Over His Head At Treasury
Of course, Trump is bankrupt again, for what, the third time. Donald Trump is very good at using other peoples money to make himself look good, then bailing when the going gets rough. Not the best example :) Trump would be perfect in Washington given his personal examples. :lol: :twisted: :shock: :...

I sincerely appreciate the restraint most LE shows in certain situations like rioting. People suck. Mobs of people suck even more. Not sure this is addressing the root of the problem, though.

Re: 2024 Primary
Agreed, 2022 has to happen first to see how things could shake out for 2024. Heck, Trump's not a lock to even live that long. 2024 is still a ways off. If I'm not mistaken he wouldn't be the first former head-of-State to run for office from behind bars - didn't someone from Italy already do that?

China owns over a trillion $$ of our debt, and a high percentage of pharmaceuticals that we consume. That's just a couple quick searches after a long bike ride.

Of course there are a lot of factors which can shed some light on NY NJ question. The big takeaways are 1) unified leadership and messaging which lead to 2) equal or less deaths with equal if not better economic outcomes. And the final results are still not in.

My problem isn't with the information and arguments that JSO gives. I think they're valid.

There are two sides to this coin and JSO's bias limits his analysis and conclusions, he only...
