do you derive your income from a corporation? as well as a land owner, mister "when taxes go up i just pass it on to my renters"? because if you are then the op isn't about you.

and so you're ok that corporations and those who derive their incomes from corporations pay little to no tax, right? that taxed ar source slaves pay so much personal tax? i haven't paid any personal tax for decades. you're ok with that? news flash... you're not a rural poor. if in fact you derive your income from a corporation and you support pro-business "conservative" policies then you're smart. they work for you.

have i been calling you names? its entirely hypothetical. for all i know its a made for tv movie. but i'm sticking with it. i don't think Trump has the numbers. and i think the quants know it. pollsters know nothing... you need the data science numbers.

i was asking for citation to specific policies/laws that "conservative" governments proposed that were clearly designed to help enrich the working class. i'm sure that are some! has Poilievre stated that he would raise child benefits? did he say that child benefits would be slashed for people who derive their incomes from corporations that they own? anything like that? there has to be something. again, i'm not following this much but everyone knows that the working stiffs will get a carbon tax rebate that will offset the carbon tax. sure, its going to need adjustment so as not to affect the wrong people but... or is it that global warming is woke? i'm going to concede to you on other points that i haven't been following. that excessive immigration can be trouble until the economy adjusts. is all immigration woke? are we not on the hook with our allies when they are being overrun by Syrians and Ukrainians? do we not have international legal obligations? i'm going to concede about that bail access laws are a problem. one that the current government has now promised to fix. but was it unreasonable that those laws came into place in the first place because of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? this seems like something right up libertarians allies! i'm just afraid that just about anything can be labeled as "woke" in certain peoples eyes. its a dog whistle. when its an attempt at human empathy. and yes, we can't always be empathetic, but we can try and if it goes wrong then thats a conversation, thats not a reason to throw power to big business. again, the op is about how taxed at source is slavery. and that the GOP specifically do not push policy that help taxed at source individuals. they look out for business interests first. the Trump tax cuts! what else did Trump do for taxed at source individuals? there must be something!

i'm calling it... again. we've still got 10 months to go but i believe the tea leaves are telling that Trump is currently on a direct course to another election loss. why would a post like this make me think so? because it screams fear! the guy knows immunity is his hail mary. he's sh!tting bricks. and he's freaked out because even if he and Joe might not be the sharpest knives in the drawer, their organizations have plenty of money for plenty of quants and numbers guys. hell, Trump had one of the best numbers guys in the business last election, Matt Oczkowski. who by the way told Trump he LOST the 2020 election. more tea leaves...Trump only wins half the vote in the GOP primaries. Biden obliterates his primary. more tea? Trump is loud and flailing desperately. Biden is a cool cucumber. the numbers guys are telling Trump that its not looking good so far. the numbers guys are telling Biden to hang tight.

hows this? if there's one thing i hate is a hippy peace activist commie! yeah, thats right, i'm now the hawk and "conservatives" are the hippy commie peace activists! who knew that day would come? hahaha! Putin is an international terrorist. is that propaganda? he's actually a loving guy who likes to cook cabbage rolls? he has no idea who keeps poisoning his political rivals? if only he could find out who blew the wings off of Yanokovych Prigozhin plane? he cares about the hundreds of thousands he's butchered? hope Putin gets a bullet in the head soon.

oh right, protests in the streets all day by thousands of people in the Ukraine... protesting against defending itself against Russia! NOT! mass military desertions! NOT! millions of Ukrainians fleeing to Russia instead of the EU! NOT! anyways, i don't care! i'm now a hawk and "conservatives" are peace activists! who knew that was coming? screw Putin. he's an international terrorist. he should be dead by now. he needs a bullet in the head. who's side are you on commie?

James Lankford... life long republican and conservative from Oklahoma. about to be eaten by the MAGA cult. James Lankford: 'Popular Commentator' Threatened To 'Destroy' Him If He Advanced Border Bill

just like what Jesus would do!

spot on. i would add... Donald Trump is a condo salesman!

feel free to cite policy/law that refutes it! i don't even follow much Cdn politics lately... but i will say again, that Trudeau raised my corporate taxes. at the same time, he raised child benefits. is that a pro business "conservative" policy? and i know this because my wife gets full child benefits because my company accountant makes it look like we are poor! thanks for proving my point! that "social conservatives" eventually believe that their financial problems are associated with social issues that have nothing to do with the economy. are interest rates up because of wokeness? is inflation, gdp and business investment down because of wokeness? i should be able to look that up in some economics text book right? what a joke. is crime up because of wokeness? is that what police organizations are saying across the country? do tell.

sure, no one knows exactly why Putin invaded Ukraine. so you tell us... we're listening. also tell us why we should even care. the Ukrainians want to join the EU. they have since the Revolution of Dignity. Putins little empire is crumbling. tell us why we should care. he's a murdering tyrant. tell us why we should feel sorry for him.

well yeah! Biden wants to reign in free trade! NAFTA was brought in by Reagan/Mulroney! i'm not surprised that that the GOP is getting cold feet about the concept... so they blame the DNC?! that hilarious. the GOP and "conservative" (reads pro business) parties of the world are the ones who've always pushed free trade.

sure they do! i already provided you those numbers! and that the crime rate for domestic crimes is 45% lower the the normal population. i mean if you arguing that that number needs to be zero then thats never going to happen, is it? there will be no immigration. there is crime in all populations.

the "globalist" argument is also hilarious. the DNC are globalists?! the same party that every labour union in the country support? or the GOP... who support multi national conglomerates that have sales that dwarf small countries. that pay no taxes under GOP regimes. that every chamber of commerce in the country support. yeah, we need to be worried about "globalists" but the fox is in the hen house. the globalists are the GOP financiers. Trump is a globalist. he employs immigrants and has a global business. he makes his money from a corporation.

hahahaha! do you even read? all you do is re-state what you've already stated! that the feds only take care of the border and that all "illegal" activity is that people are not crossing the border at defined crossing points! i guess you are in agreement then that that doesn't translate to domestic crime? i'm guessing because you refuse to address it.

i don't do like i'm asked like you do by your rich masters. youtube is not a research tool! i see you cannot cite alternate research that refutes crime rates among immigrants. thats all that matters.

indeed, richer people will benefit from cheaper labor... but regular Americans should be richer! they shouldn't have to compete with immigrants for jobs! thats messed up! like everything its not a black and white issue. new immigrants tend to vote DNC because they know the autocratic rhetoric from where they come from. and immigrants are necessary for the US since US native population is declining. declining population means NEGATIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH. again, anytime you want to cite major policy where the GOP that targets the working poor... still listening!

go to the YouTube and type "crime by citizens". New Research on Illegal Immigration and Crime "The results are similar to our other work on illegal immigration and crime in Texas. In 2018, the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans. The illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 45 percent below that of native‐born Americans in Texas." feel free to cite research claiming that immigrants are more criminal in nature that native Americans. i'm waiting...

um. i'm Canadian. i said that. i do B2B IT consulting work.

i didn't know much about immigration until i looked into it... and it would appear, again, that most of the idiocy is on the GOP. House GOP fails to impeach Mayorkas over border handling Legal experts counter GOP claims that Mayorkas broke the law "The bulk of the GOP argument fixates on language in the law that says migrants “shall” be detained while they await removal from the country. It’s a standard that has never been met — the U.S. didn’t have enough beds to do so even in 1996, when the statute was updated." Chip Roy knocks Trump over border claim: ‘That didn’t happen’ “No, we’re not just going to pass the buck and say that, ‘Oh, any president can walk in and secure the border,’” Roy said, referring to Trump’s post. “All a president has to do is declare the border’s closed, and it’s closed. Well, with all due respect, that didn’t happen in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. There were millions of people that came in the United States during those four years.” what is suspect is that neither the DNC or the GOP are enlightened enough to talk about the reasons why there are so many people willing to flee their homes down south. addressing the problem at its root is probably just as problematic for the US.

i wasn't arguing that. but since pretty well all the feds do is take care of the border then... duh! yeah! the article goes on to try and convince numbnuts that this translates into domestic crime... without evidence.

does it matter? what about all the other points i make? YOU GOT NOTHING except your illogical belief systems. and thats the rub, isn't it... that you believe that you are logical, when you are not.

is my a$$ getting kicked? i'm in the top 5% wealth earners. or do you mean in the debate? because i don't see anybody debating this. i mean, unless everybody thinks that the growing wealth inequality gap is a good thing? i'm listening...

its an age old gag for "conservatism" in the US... that "conservatives" aren't conservative at all. they are just another vehicle for the richest of the population to get richer and a lot of it directly from tax payers. the gag goes like this... get people all riled up about some imaginary enemy ("social conservatism")... gays, "wokeness", immigrants, abortion. the issue doesn't really matter, it used to be something else, the actual issue can be switched on a dime. this works mostly with uneducated rural types. just keep repeating that they are in danger and they will believe it. now the center of the GOP support, the uneducated rural types are already pissed that they've missed the "american dream" economically because GOP policies mean they've been getting more poor for 40 years. they need someone to blame. get them to blame gays and immigrants! studies show that people who suffer more from black and white thinking lean "conservative". and so these people are targeted by the business status quo. Political Ideology and Black-and-White Thinking and then have a god like cult figure like Trump to push these people over the edge. a cult like figure that will attack the faceless evil. save the country from "wokeness". while only making them more and more... poor! Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (no Jobs there!) "under the Act individuals and pass-through entities like partnerships and S corporations would receive about $1.125 trillion in net benefits (i.e. net tax cuts offset by reduced healthcare subsidies) over 10 years, while corporations would receive around $320 billion in benefits. The CBO estimated that implementing the Act would add an estimated $2.289 trillion to the national debt over ten years" "Bloomberg News reported in January 2020 that the top six American banks saved more than $32 billion in taxes during the two years after enactment of the tax cut, while they reduced lending, cut jobs and increased distributions to shareholders." meanwhile, Democrats continue as always to support unions and working people. no one can point to ANY policy evidence that the GOP support working people. they only support business and promise "economic trickle down" except that that hasn't been working for 40 years. as a business owner here in Canada... Trudeau has not made it easy for me. because i control the corporation from which i make money, my effective tax rate went up from 8% to 11%. poor working stiffs have to pay a minimum of 17%! but i'm aware that the happiest societies are those where the wealth gap is smallest. Income Inequality Makes Whole Countries Less Happy and with that wealth inequality destroys democracies... because it leads to concentration of power.
