Republican Tax Plan

What does that have to do with CEO pay?
It was part of my plan in order to reduce corporate tax down to basically nothing. Executive compensation has to be reigned in a touch in order to see wage growth. The idea being that more money for the regular folks in a consumption tax economy equals greater tax revenues. Can’t give all these cuts in this scenario if c-level execs just reap the benefits.

Keep in mind, this is a small portion of people it affects. Private business is uncapped.
 
Like I said, not warm and fuzzy on the idea but it’s really out of hand. I’m open to other ideas as well.

So.... until the bottom 44% start paying ‘their’ fair share, you can STFU. Also, this is an income tax. Most of the Uber wealthy can hide their money any numbers of ways, and until the code is changed to tax wealth and not income it will be completely unfair. The fight was created by the wealthy and political class to keep ‘we the people’ distracted.

It is up to the corporation on what to pay folks, not the government. I can't support caps.

Did you see where I supported a consumption tax? That's literally the fairest tax available.

Never gonna happen. That would require the 2 parties to reinvent their entire platforms, and politicians can’t be expected to formulate a novel, original thought.

Not to mention, it is not in their best interest. They're thinking of themselves first.
 
Republicans are breaking coffee machines because the Keurig CEO disagrees with Sean Hannity defending a rapist POS.

Some are also apparently boycotting Jim Beam because of Mila Kunis.

Definitely no snowflakes over there.

At least they are breaking their own shit and not someone else's.

And Hannity did not defend him. In fact if you had taken time to listen to the interview you would know that Hannity pretty much buried the guy.

LOL - Hannity did his best to help but Moore just wouldn't shut up.
Hannity - "Dig over here, you can make steps to climb out. Oh, and throw the dirt out of the hole.
Moore - "Shut up. I'm diggin straight down, dirt be damned!"

Did you even watch the whole thing? I'm not a Hannity fan but he put the guy on the spot.

Right, because republicans prefer killing people when they protest. Why break another person's property when you could just run them over with a car?
 
You're right. The left is never violent in any protests. My bad

Any protest can be corrupted by bad actors. The difference is, the Nazis and white supremacists only show up for one side's protests. When did I say that the left is never violent in any protests? I just pointed out how dumb it is to talk about the left destroying property when the last high profile conservative protest featured a murder. Your whataboutism trick isn't going to work...

You are truly laughable. That is exactly what you are doing. When did the Tea Party Protests get violent? Only when Libs showed up and provoked such. Hell the Tea Partiers even cleaned up behind themselves. Sure that was an absolute nut job in Charlottesville and not representative of most conservatives. Your Occupy Wallstreet crowd were absolutely filthy. Hell there were reports of them sexually assaulting their own.

And, I don't give a damn if you say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas or Kiss My Ass, that's your right but don't tell me I can't say Merry Christmas.
 
Man, if I knew how hard the left would fight against the snowflake moniker, and resort to essentially a "I know you are but what am I?" tactic - I would have started using the term years ago.

Why are they so offended by it?

Honestly its just ironic. Kinda like bringing up "I know you are but what am I" tactics, when the default Republican response to Trump criticism is to bring up Hillary or Obama.
 
The funny thing is, you can call the postmodernist cultural marxists snowflakes all you want. I don't care, they aren't my allies. But if Republicans/conservatives want to pretend like there isn't plenty of whiny bullshit on both sides, then we're going to have a disagreement. That's just naive, to the point where its actually silly.

Not much different than the Obama crowd blaming Bush for 8 years.

Every time a criticism of Trump is brought forward, Fox News spins up the Benghazi machine. Hannity even tried to bring up Bill Clinton when Roy Moore was accused of sexual abuse. That is not the same thing as discussing relevant causal factors of the previous administration. Hard to believe I would need to explain that to a grown man.

If you think talking about the state of the economy (for example) when a president takes office is the same thing as trying to bring up previous transgressions of other people as some kind of bullshit defense for the transgressions of the current president, then you're an idiot. A defense attorney wouldn't stand up in the middle of a murder case and say "What about Ted Bundy? What about Jeffrey Dammer?" Which is precisely the tactic being used by Fox News.

For example, job growth has been trending up at a record breaking clip for quite some time. So it is nonsensical to give the current president credit for that trend, because it predates his administration taking office.

That is not the same thing as saying, "Do you think Bill Clinton was a sexual predator" when someone accuses a republican of rape.

Do we really need to break this down any more?
