I KNOW you have no idea of the intent behind it (Social contract) because you're a Socialist and Freedom (inherent in the social contract theory) is the yearning of all who agree to representative government based on a moral order and personal responsibility. What Socialist believes in Freedom or individual liberty under a limited government as all the "Liberals" who founded the nation did?

You're bastardizing their graves with your sophistry, similar to how you foolishly argued Dr. King was a Socialist who also believed in the supremacy of the State, when both he and the Founders revered individual liberty and Freedom.

I can't deal with you...you're one warped individual....but I shouldn't be surprised because you also claimed to be Christian and everyone knows what a crock that is.

Dr. King was a socialist......look it up.

EDIT: The "Freedom" you speak of in the social contract theory, you do realize that the theory states that a person gives up their right to their own freedom to be governed by the state in return for services provided by the state......of course you don't.

There were two concurrent themes running through our interchange. The first was your assertion that wealthy people depend on Government, your argument was for the "social contract" (undefined) and the second was your assertion that we are a "Democracy". Both statements were left unquantified or explained by you, so we spent the rest of our time with me trying to quantify those two themes you just kept blurting out without defining and you spending the rest of your time simply avoiding answering my many questions or examples attempting to either clarify your inaccurate statements or correct them.

Then you accused me of not knowing what I'm talking about as you continued to avoid answering several questions I posed to you in attempts to find out what YOU were talking about, which I remain convinced you have no clue. As I re-read the thread this morning, I remain convinced you are a poorly educated charlatan when it comes to this nation's foundations, you don't appreciate the concepts you toss out in groundless attempts to sound educated, and since you are a product of Government education it's no surprise to me you lack affinity for the true intent behind the Founders' adherence to our Godly centered Freedom, Liberty, a moral Social order, and fidelity to limited Government as defined in our organizing document the Constitution, which clearly spells out Government's role, our relation to it, and our place of authority over it under God which the Founders clearly understood.

I won't be exchanging any more along this line with you because in my opinion you are hopelessly mind numbed and brainwashed to appreciate anything you're commenting on regarding our Constitution or founding. We are NOT a nation rooted in "Liberalism" (whatever the Hell that means) we are a nation rooted in our God given Freedoms.

Good bye.

God-given freedoms established by.............LIBERALISM!

But, at the time, that form of "liberalism" was just as radical as today's.......that is a FACT.

But they were two completely different forms of "liberalism", so stop trying to equate the two. Anti-Federalist Jefferson would not be an AOC acolyte today.

Try to keep up...........

Jefferson and Madison form of "liberalism" in the late 1700's was looked at the SAME as liberalism is today.....so, in theory, they were the AOC's of their time........:popcorn:

I'm an S corp, Everything passes thru. I have a building that's in an LLC, tht rent my corp pays that corp is income that has to be taxed. Depreciation only writes off a little of the 40,000 per year rent. The reduction to 21% has saved me quite a bit.
can you write off malpractice insurance, or does that come off the top as pre-tax?

It's a cost of doing business. Yes. My wife always says it's a tax write off about all kinds of stuff. I say that an expenditure of $1,000 and your tax bracket is 30%, I'd rather have the $700. in my pocket than $0.
