I think you may have responded to a different question. would you have been ok/not ok with Obama not releasing his tax returns and/or using every legal loophole available to not pay taxes?Godfather. said:
HAHAHAHAHAHHA white on rice ???? that's great ! but really do NOT remember me stating that he was a non citizen ? I think I stayed out of that one because all the info coming out was......hinky to say the least.HughFreakingDillon said:
you may be right. but, be honest, if Obama had done this (evaded taxes legally and/or refused to release his returns), you'd be all over him like white on rice.Godfather. said:

as much as I did not trust Obama I really feel his tax returns were of little interest to me.HughFreakingDillon said:

Does giving money to charities that support women count as #2? Because that's what I had planned to do.Ms. Haiku said:The following are the three requests from the Women’s March organization for participants in the Women’s Strike on March 8
1. Do not engage in paid or unpaid work
2. Do not spend money
3. Wear red
If I don't have a job, I can do all three. If I do, then I can do #3.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

No one is saying that's wrong; they're just saying it doesn't apply to Trump, who was never working class. He was born wealthy.Godfather. said:
not everybody is content with being working class, some people make wealth happen in their lives, they work for it go to school for it and work hard to make it happen, is that wrong ?my2hands said:While the so called billionaire born with a silver spoon lived in luxury

??????? ohhhh believe me, you and people who share your opinion must have zero idea what it takes to build a prosperous country, so how long do think our economy would have lasted by increasing the national debt everyday ? it was the biggest debt created by any president but I'm sure the immigrant's(legal and illegal) and welfare abuser's loved it, some folk's love a freebie even if it bankrupts an economy, that's SAD !dignin said:Trump is gutting and running the US off a cliff and there are Trump apologists on this thread complaining about a protest.

That's almost cute that you think Trump is going to slash the national debt, given all the information available. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Definition - refuse to work as a form of organized protest, typically in an attempt to obtain a particular concession or concessions from their employer:
What concession are you getting from your employer? And you're not refusing to work anymore than when I go to Grandma's house.
Have some balls and Strike. Don't call your employer. Don't submit a PTO form before or after. And absolutely do not accept pay for that day. Have some f'n balls and STRIKE!!!!!!Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.0 -

Even though the title of this thread lists it as a strike, I don't think it is one. It is more of a march to bring awareness. Strikes usually occur when there are specific demands, like more wages or better healthcare, and continue until one side caves. If a strike was a 1-day planned event, the employer would tough out the 1-day and continue with business as usual the next.
There doesn't seem to be any demands), just bringing awareness to the importance of women in society. Which confused me, because I don't know anyone who will argue that. But without specific demands or target, I would not call this a strike. But a march to bring awareness instead.0 -
Yeah, a strike would require a bit more commitment and more women to be on board to be effective. There is not going to be picket lines at all business to ensure that women do not spend money or go to work... I assume most women in the country will just go on with their day and forget anything is happening...unless you live specifically in a left wing liberal city of course...which is kind of like preaching to the choir. Hopefully they will have a good turnout and clean up theirs messes. I do feel bad for the actual city workers that have to clean up after these marches. Speaking of which, haven't seen much mentioned about the man made disaster at the Dakota pipeline by the messy protesters. I think we should have a "Clean up your damn messes" march, lolmace1229 said:Even though the title of this thread lists it as a strike, I don't think it is one.

I agree if he did not release taxes he would have received equal scrutiny. I don't think anyone will blame someone for not paying more taxes than they are legally obligated to though. Have you ever filed a tax return, and just told the IRS to "keep it" when you realized you were getting a refund? It was more of a reflection of a bad business decision than anything to do with taxes. But you're right, I'm sure lots would have given him crap for it, just don't thin kit is justified.Post edited by mace1229 on0
