The wealth tax is the latest way democrats are proposing to bilk Americans of their money and fund the massive fraud that is our government's budget. A wealth tax will severely harm our economy. A wealth tax is: Let's take Calofornia's "one-time" wealth tax on billionaires as an example of how this would destroy economies. They want voters to vote on a 5% wealth tax (CNBC). The 5% would be the sum of all assets a billionaire owns. That would mean real estate, investments, cash, businesses etc would all have to be assessed for value and then totaled to determine the taxable amount. Once that taxable amount is determined, the billionaire has to pay the 5% with cash. At a minimum, that would be $50 million. Most rich people don't have all their assets in cash. They have property, investments, businesses, etc. The cash they do have is considered operating capital. Cash they use for day to day life. Fifty million is not just play money. They don't have this sitting in a bank account just waiting to be spent. How would they get the cash then? The cash would likely come from assets that are easy to sell. The easiest assets to sell are stocks, bonds and other investments. This will be where the economy gets harmed the most. If every billionaire had to sell their assets at the same time, they would flood the market. Econ 101 tells us that when a market is flooded with supply, the price goes down. The biggest issue with lower stock prices is the loss of leverage. Lower stock prices make it harder for businesses to raise capital. If they can't raise capital, or they have to pay more to get the capital, growth becomes harder. If a business can't grow the economy can't grow. Do not expect this "one-time" tax to be a one-time or just for billionaires. Eventually, it will be millionaires too. Imagine you have a $500,000 home, a car worth $30,000, a 401k worth $400,000 and $70,000 in cash. Congrats, you are a millionaire. Now you have to raise $50,000 in cash to pay your taxes. The first year is doable. But what about next year? The year after that? There are examples of how a wealth tax has harmed local governments. Maryland tried it in 2007. Instead of raising tax revenues, revenues fell drastically. This is what is in California's future. This is also what is in the future for America if we install such a suppressive tax. If America employs a wealth tax, you will see a rise in LLCs that are listed as investment companies. These investment companies would all magically hold just under the wealth tax number and/or they will be off shore investment accounts, leaving America void of capital. The stock market would falter. Business growth would be stymied. Slowed business growth would slow job growth. Another issue would be the offshore of businesses. A wealth tax would force businesses to flee the US or be forced to pass on taxes. To find a cost advantage, they would move to more tax friendly regions. Overall, the effects on the economy would be devastating. poverty would rise, jobless claims would rise, the stock market would fall and businesses would flee.

Its not fraud. There was nothing illegal about it! You don't present evidence. You present opinions that use factoids to dupe the gullible. Zero evidence is given. What you post is like me saying ABC bank got robbed today. Robosmith was at that bank and has some cash with him. The brain wants to fill in the blanks and make a story that can be filed away. So the reader decides they know what happened. Your Russia Collusion stories are the exact same. They say things like Trump had a bank account there and Flynn sold them internal polling data and some Russian fraudster tried to get Trump to give them money and the Russians bought ads on Facebook. All factoids. None related. The kicker is, the story was made up, using those factoids, by Obama. We have proof of that. Not evidence. Proof. But that proof will be dismissed by you. The truth does not fit the fantasy world that you live in, so you choose not to believe it. Instead, you believe the lies you are told, because that is what you want to believe.

So not only can you not address her comments but you couldn't address my comments either so you're asking me about her comments and to address her comments because you couldn't I'm sure there's a way to look more pathetic, but it would probably involve a research grant to figure it out I've said no such thing. So now you're just making stuff up that i've said ? Wow. You pulled it of without the research grant! Impressive! OF course, the cbc doesn't report on that kind of thing and lib supporters like you don't care either way

It is a horrible idea and violates the principle that money should only be taxed once. In addition people will avoid it by various means, but that will have negative effects as well.

To be honest, the first line of defence against the burgeoning budget should just be fraud prevention, which has shown incredible gains, but every time $10B in wasteful spending/fraud is cut from the budget the Democrats scream like their baby is being ripped apart by hyenas. "OMG, YOU CAN'T STOP THE SOMALI SCAMMERS! THAT'S RACIST!!!!!" "NVM THE MEDICARE SCAMMERS IN LA! TELL THAT KID TO KEEP HIS F'N TRAP SHUT!" And the goal of targeting the rich isn't to elevate the poor - because the Dems love their slave-class - it's just to gain gov't control of industry, like every communist regime does... When people in NYC are asked "What are you gonna do when the wealthy people leave, but they take their business with them?", they literally say "We will just keep their stuff here, HAHAAAA!" I'm not sure if they're aware 'what form of gov't that represents', but if you told them that was what fascists and communists do, most of them would wink and nod. Or they'd say "IT'S COMMUNIST, NOT FASCIST!", as if that's somehow better.

That won't matter that much 3 years from now. While people may have a somewhat positive or negative impression events over the next 3 years, they will mostly associate him with trump. If trump's star is still shining at that point Vance will have a severe advantage. If not, Rubio's got a real shot by claiming that he is still a fan of trump's better policies but will bring them forward in a more stable in adult way or some sort of argument along those lines. Even if you think trump is great you can't argue that he's made for something of an unstable government and people may crave stability. That was Biden's big selling point We will see. A lot can happen in 3 years but I think it's going to boil down to whether or not people felt trump was a success in the end or whether they felt that he was just too much I don't know who they're going to put forward but I can tell what their campaign is going to be already based on the democrats during and after the last election HEHEHEHEEHEHEHE Trump bad! Bad man! Nazi! All supporters are nazi!!! Many are white males white males BAAAAD!!! Vote Happy!!! And good luck with that. I see no sign the dems are moving towards putting someone serious forward and nobody's interested in the 'basket of deplorables' vote

The Dems' "We hate everything!" campaign isn't working. Key Findings on Approval Ratings Record Lows: A late 2025 Quinnipiac University poll found that only 18% of voters approved of the way Democrats in Congress were handling their jobs, while 73% disapproved, marking a record low. Internal Dissatisfaction: A significant portion of Democratic voters are dissatisfied with their own party's leadership, with 48% of Democrats disapproving of their own party's performance in Congress. A 73% disapproval rating should tell them something. Maybe "We hate America" doesn't work in America. I wonder what their approval rating would be in Gaza... Probably higher than 17% lol.

Look at these traitorous filth. Now they're attacking the First Lady. Just disgusting. They think this is a winning strategy.

Melania is a gold digger - but i don't condemn her for that, well played. Her CV is filled with lies, innuendo, exaggeration. She did what she had to do to survive - including Playboy (OMG - that is funny) Arguably Jeremy was the swinging dick that introduced her to Trump. Lyin' Eyes City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man, and she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace, go in style Late at night, a big old house gets lonely I guess every form of refuge has its price And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

The left: Melania was helping Epstein! Melania: "No I wasn't." The left: "See! Her denial proves everything!" These people are just distracting us from all the great things that have happened under 47. So let's have a look: Iran will never have a nuke. Venezuela is now our oil partner. China lost two oil partners. Russia lost two oil partners. Tax cuts are permanent. No tax on tips. Border closed. 3 million + deportations. Border wall being built. Renegotiate trade deals. Inflation under control Jobs shifted from government to private sector. Serious investigations into fraud. Mexico finally going after cartels. Trillions in new investments in the US. Terminated Biden-era electric vehicle mandates and policies. Implemented policies to combat fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration enforcement. Facilitated the release of American hostages held abroad. Expanded American energy production and repealed restrictive environmental regulations. Established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and promoted U.S. leadership in digital assets. Signed executive orders protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation and ending unfair sports practices. Reformed federal bureaucracy to increase efficiency and reduce waste. 125 year lows in crimes, including murders. Advanced education reform and parental rights in schooling. Expanded clemency with pardons and commutations addressing perceived injustices. College sports reforms. Serious investigations into voter fraud. There are probably more. But what does the left have as accomplishments? Shot at border agents in Texas. Shot at other border agents in Texas, killing two illegal immigrants. Came up with TACO. Rioted in LA. Rioted in Minneapolis. Killed Charlie Kirk. Pushed debunked Epstein conspiracy theories. Record low approval ratings including net disapproval in own party. Shut down the government, twice, harming the people that are supposed to be protecting us from danger. Look, keep doing what you are doing. I love it. The left has become completely irrelevant in today's political climate. Don't stop now.

What cover-up?

Vance has been sent to negotiate with Iran. If he succeeds, he will return a hero.

Its a typical Canastan waffle.

You listed off a string of facts... Where is your opinion?

Where is the opinion?

Chronic problem. This is why you see threads about how the left these days are cultists You, as a right-wing person, can believe a thing and I can disagree with that thing and we can have a nice strong fun passionate discussion about it and have on a number of occasions and at the end of the day shake hands and move on. Both of us have even conceded points, noting that a thing the other believed was correct even though perhaps they didn't agree with the overall argument the other was making and emotionally we're not shattered. The left on the other hand simply denies facts and yells and puts their fingers in their ears and buries their head and hums and then comes back and repeats the same lies but now they've rewritten the conversation in their head to try and convince themselves they somehow won Like Chrissy is doing with you right now on the other thread and she was doing with me for quite a while as well And here we see it again. There was a time when I was growing up and I would sit down with some very intelligent people on the left and have absolutely great and incredible conversations that were frequently passionate and even heated but at the end of which we could conceive each other's points agree to disagree on the opinion parts shake hands and eat dinner together Nowadays the left one overturn the table the moment they heard you disagreed, scream like banshees, and demand that someone come and punch you because you are a Nazi for disagreeing.

How simple minded are you? It's your thread and your comments that we're losing a 'trade war' with the US and Mexico, which I replied to. What does China, HSR, Champaigns wife, and now inter-provincial trade have to do with our US trade. You never pointed out anything other than the usual schtick of anti-liberal. You got nothing... as usual.

Those not empower anymore. I think pretty much every conservative year has said that c********* is bad at one point or another, certainly will talk about biden. I don't think there's any great mystery there. But there's really not much point in going on about it seeing is Trudeau is not here and seeing as the liberals will have absolutely no problem with the former leader being in a child born. It could come out that Trudeau was banging 12 year olds and you'd still be standing up for him . so seeing is he's not in power and he's not our problem anymore what's the point?

Right? I swear to god this guy is literally going to have vegans hunting down elk for their tenderloin next week

HA HA HA confux melted down so much he couldn't say anything LOL LOL LOL

Says the guy who supports the killing of 10 million Jews in Israel

Is reposting the same emoji's of your tongue hanging out a sign of your emotional distress, insecurity, or compulsion for validation?

Which begs the question again, where is Poilievre while all this is going on given how much you supporters care? You do care about the allegation the RCMP know Trudeau watched kiddie porn while he was in power don't you? What about Poilievre, does he need to see it on CBC before acting? Goddess said I was asking good questions, don't you think these qualify?

Your need for more taxes certifies you as a level 5 masochist. We have no need for woke government sluts, robomarx. You should leave.

The undefeated, and still the champion clown 🫵 🤡

You have an odd way of showing your 'love' for Canada... You are correct though that everyone has a right to voice their disappointment, but people listing to the same 'disappointment' schtick day in day out also have the right to tell someone to STFU and complain to someone who cares. But you got me.... you're easily my favourite poster 👍 Regarding Carney's progress, it obviously easy enough for anyone to find, but here is one guy's report card; https://paulstewartii.substack.com/p/mark-carneys-first-year-as-prime-37b

Sure....this is what happens when ever YOU got nothing.... We will see come this summer when they start talking about Cusma, we will see which strategy is going to win over the Americans, Yours where we do nothing except provoke them, ( because that is in the negotiating 101 playbook)or the one where we sit down and listen, take some positive actions.... and perhaps come up with some compromises'...That would be the smart move...but not for you guys on the left you want to fight the giant in the room...because you feel butt hurt over some words trump has said..... There is your delusion and then then is reality....Thinking that Canada can compete against an economy the size of the US...is wishful thinking.... Did you watch Carney on his visits to the US, he was on his knees the whole time....and never spilled a drop....your guy is going to get it from both ends come Cusma time...He has already had to swallow some key points to get this far....

Two days now and not a peep about it. No bang no boom just a popping sound on Goddesses' Big Board. Oh and a little squeak from her apologist. And where is Poilievre BTW?

Lol... keep trying, and telling yourself that you're smart. Mind over matter....

This is the problem. The NDP did well when they could appeal to blue collar workers and say we're going to fight for you Now they're just fighting for whatever pops into their little heads. And only for people who have the appropriate equity cards. (white males can just go die somewhere). It's possible they may survive to see a Resurgence someday but I truly doubt it. I think they're cooked just like the green party after Lizzie May left

The federal government appealed the courts decision last September. You don't comment and keep active dialogue going with the public while there is a legal process playing out.

So are you engaged in willful trolling? The issue isn’t about immigration, it’s ILLEGAL immigration. People that shouldn’t be here. What you are doing here isn’t accurate. When you sit here encouraging people to ignore others you are a piece of shit. You are not interested in honest conversation.

😁

We do on the vast majority of things. I said 'sectoral". You didn't cite 'trade deficits', you posted a comparison of Canada vs Mexico total trade, and I explained why. We normally sell a LOT of those sectoral commodities to the US. Mexico does NOT. We WILL again. You just didn't get it. As usual.

If everyone was as smart as you, we'd all be screwed. Trade doesn't really work, and we need to do more trade inter-provincially.... Got it.

Lol... you have no fùcking idea what you're talking about do you. What are you even trying to say in this so-called convo.. You're jumping from HSR to homosexuals to saying foreign to saying domestic trade are the same thing. You don't have a clue... End of the day you got nothing except your angry little rants about anything left. What a 🤡

For a clown from Langley you talk pretty tough American speak... Iran obviously can't go toe to toe with the US militarily, but they sure have found an effective way to pressure Trump.

FBI has arrested leaker for disclosing information about covert operations:

Once again, this is the problem with you. You ran away from that thread like you do almost every thread you are in. You say something stupid, you get called out, you turn to lies to avoid admitting you were wrong, you run away... then you come back and push the same stupid crap again. Just like you did here in this thread with trees.

Projection from the racist.

Often asked by U.S. presidents: Where are the Carriers? Here is the status of all eleven Nimitz class carriers, just in case Iran wants to know. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/where-are-americas-aircraft-carriers-now-ps010126

Yeah I still don't watch any of the weird links you post I suspect is probably a link to something that basically shows you having a hissy fit because you've been exposed for what you are You think you're growing up but you're actually standing on your head

Take your thick little head out of your àss for a minute fool... China is not being 'considered as a replacement', we want to grow trade with them. HSR is an infrastructure project, that has nothing to do with international trade. Champaigns, wife, WTF... These are 'facts' and supposedly made me mad and upset....? You need to get a new act 🤡 I'm not sure what interior trade is, but there is more the provinces can do for better inter-provincial trade. Our federal government removed all barriers, so now what...? Little minds think in little ways.... We're not losing the US as a trade partner or is there even a concern for that. They need what we have as both a supplier and a customer, just as we need what they have. That's playing out with tariffs hurting the US economy so let it drag on longer, which only helps. 🤡

Undeniable? You can play semantics over the word victory all you want, but you are absurdly cheering on Iran right now by completely overinflating your analysis of the circumstances in their favor.

well i didn't quite say that but power plants DO in fact run on oil and gas, and they are stored in tanks That was the conversation where i pointed out it was easier to store petro chemicals than electricity and solar power woudn't be able to replace conventional power till we had a way to store it that was as cheap and effective as we store petro chemcials which is true, and you cried like a baby when i proved it at the time. I have no doubt that you spent all night that night re writing it in your head till it seemed like you won ROFLMAO!! But it's still hilarious to see Sorry kiddo from the very get go i've specifically said its "Not new military spending". Go back and look, i said it like 100 times. And you lost that argument so you're trying to pretend we were discussing something else. RCMP is. Neither was the coast guard till like 5 minutes ago And if they put it under "defense' then it won't be new military spending. That is not what i said. Go back and re read it. Once again you have to lie to try to salvage your failed argument. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF it was already announced and the contract signed then it woudlnt' be new 'military' spending. It would just be spending previously committed to that is being relabeled. If it wasn't a contract then maybe you'd have a point. but if they signed a contract and now they're going to reallocate that money to the military budget? Sorry, not new spending. So why doesn't it go on the health care spending? DOn't know? Can't figure it out? Because it wasn't health care. And if you decide to CALL it health care now, it wouldn't be new healthcare spending, it would be military spending that was renamed. Get it? Then why didn't they count before? Why have we never applied the coast guard to military defense spending? If it's always counted and nothing changed then why not? Simple answer is you're wrong and a liar. It wasn't defense spending. We decided to rename it as defense spending but it wasn't. Which is fine. But - that means it's not new military spending. Very very simple.

And.....Mamdani admitted, in this video, that Democrats suppressed blacks. Who has run NY since Giuliani? If it is systematic and the system is run by democrats....can you get there? ITS DEMOCRATS THAT ARE THE RACISTS!

I grew up til about 6 with a childhood friend, but we moved away. One day years later his Mom and he came to visit when I was 10 or 11. I rejected them because they were black. Not only am I forever ashamed of that, I want to know WHO taught me to even think like that. Find them to punch the living shit out of them. It sure as hell wasn't my Mom & Dad. Dad gad black and Chinese friends growing up in Eaat Van in the war years. Mom would visit and bring treats to her Japanese schoolmates interred during that time. And boy did they lecture and ground me over that. That kid I rejected was apparently my best friend when I was 4-5. So that's why i say f-ck you to self professed defenders of the white race. You're not needed or welcome, you're only defending the worst of it. Nothing else.

Why stay focused when you can barf out a clueless, meandering page-long rant and then declare the argument won?

Sure. I bet you still have an unopened copy of Colin Powell's comic book.
