    More tax reform brilliance, brilliantly written to check a box and pay back the donor class. Team Trump Treason at it again. What will Team Trump Treason’s personal benefit be? Anyone? 3D? Anyone at all?

    Yeah, why not actually try it.


    Well it was tried in the market, without regulation,  in the early 20th century.  It failed miserably.  All of these theories fail to account for the folly and corruption of humans. 
    Expect crickets 
    Only in your head.

    Your logic...

    Humans are corrupt.  They can't be trusted to make inportant decisions.

    My logic...

    Government is made of humans.  Let's take a generic Ms. Public Servant that enters the Senate worth $200k.  Someone on a salaray of less than that exits said Senate worth tens of millions of dollars.  How many laws were passed in her favor?

    Want to get rich?  Become a politician.

    I mean the funny thing here is you all bemoan the CEO of the 1900's but don't say shit about how people like the Clintons became multi-millionaires as PUBLIC SERVANTS.

    Likely, quite likely, decisions made by modern politicians hurt more people around the globe than a now antiquated but then emerging industrial system did.

    You wouldn't know irony if it slapped you on the backside.

    You've still got a perfect record on refusing to provide an example where your system even comes close to working or a legitimate reason why it could work.

    Does that piss me off? Yes it does.
    But you expect me to be more angry at the rich person who's trying to protect my wages then the rich person who is trying to reduce my wages and erode my work conditions?

    Not going to happen.
    And I don't need to hear any bologna about the market handling issues of worker compensation and working conditions, because history has proven otherwise.

    Not just wages, wages and conditions.

    True, though that's never stopped me.
    I'm free to possess and smoke weed in amounts that are perfectly sufficient without risk of arrest.
    That's good enough for now, but it's another reason I will always vote Democrat because that's the only chance we have at full legalisation.
    Obama really let us down.

    Go back and look at 20 years of Hillary’s tax returns, maybe borrow a couple of books they’ve both written and read up on how they both came from middle class backgrounds, got themselves educated through hard work and intelligence and rose to the level they did. Real Horatio Alger stories that you repubes love to talk about but always damn and do everything you can to prevent. Congress or government should be made up of Joe the Plumber types or welfare recipients, eh Unsung? Somebody sounds jealous of “success.”

    Okay fine.  Well you're not free to purchase and drive a fully operational Sherman tank through your city while wielding a Street Sweeper.  That's the very definition of 1984 right there.

    How did she make money?  Mostly from speeches right? (edit) AND FROM SELLING BOOKS...she's a self employed author, an entrepreneur...you should love that.

    What does she do with the money?  How much does she donate?

    Compare that to your boy tRump and the tRump Foundation that is closing due to being a bullshit non profit

    Yeah, that's right.  The Clinton's forcefully extracted speaking fees from disadvantaged corporate executives in a truly deplorable way.  

    BTW - I actually attended one of these speeches in about 2003, by Bill.  I can tell you it was expensive and I went with a Mormon Bishop.  He was obviously very socially conservative, 9 kids, etc.  Anyway, the speech was amazing and he was absolutely dazzled by Bill's speech.  It reminds me, in retrospect, of that Family Guy episode where Bill Clinton ends up sleeping with both Lois and Peter (the cankle episode).

    UnitedHealth Group, the country’s largest insurer, will gain $1.7 billion in additional earnings in 2018 because of the GOP tax bill, the company’s CEO said Tuesday.

    How Hedge Funds (Secretly) Get Their Way in Washington

    Fake grass roots. An inflatable rat. Testimony with hidden ties. Billionaires are using DCI Group to make their bets pay off—while keeping the public in the dark.
