    Is this a “fair share” of taxes?

    I want to cut the amount that corporations are taxed. It's an inefficient tax that's primarily passed along to consumers and creates a race to the bottom between states and countries.

    Revenue Models & Tax Theory

    I know better than to pay any attention to a President's proposed budget. Sigh, my poor thread.

    Is this a “fair share” of taxes?

    I'm pretty bearish on corporate taxes in general, to be honest with you. I'd like to see that revenue reduced and replaced with VAT taxes, increased income taxes on the wealthy, and increased capital gains.

    Trump and Hegseth get slapped down yet again.

    IANAL but 5 justices decided Stare Decisis didn't matter for abortion.

    Florida Underwater? Way late post for 2026!

    You think they thought a move ahead? They're not playing checkers, it's chutes and ladders.

    "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution."

    My boy Joe Manchin is no longer in congress, unfortunately. You can lobby the same claims to ol Kristin Sinema though.

    "It's a new world. It's the same Constitution."

    I think we ought to grant them amnesty through law but that's not what Trump tried to do.

    I think you'll find that virtually every left of center person on this board, to include myself, isn't pissed at run of the mill deportations. So do you want to try again?

    I don't think you should disparage chatbots in this way.

    The economy

    I've only ever seen it be #1. It's really neither here nor there because we're nowhere close to seriously exploring something like UBI.

    The economy

    Like I said, I don't think we're at a place where UBI really makes sense. There's enough jobs that there being a "need" to work makes sense to me. I'm down with testing out the concepts though (Alaska's oil refund thing sometimes gets described as a UBI but that's always seemed sort of weird...

    The economy

    I'll use my cherished bullets to organize my thoughts (which are no in order) I'm fine giving literally everyone a check. Let's say we give everyone $10k a year. It makes no difference at all to Musk but a lot to others. Plus: Universal programs tend to garner more support and are more...
