Originally posted by stl1 Frankly, Ity, I am surprised by this post by you. You have been an ardent Rump suppoerter yet always seemed to also be reasonable.
Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised after all.
Anyway, I would like to personally thank you for your level-headedness and integrity even if we disagree politically.
Good show, young lady. Thank you for sticking to your principles and knowing what is best (and worst) for our nation.
Where on earth did you get I was a T*rump supporter lol I don't believe I've made a claim of supporting either side -

2020-10-21 at 8:26 PM UTC in Voter Fraud in the US
Originally posted by aldra That quote is from a 2007 study that looked at selected individual claims.
https://archive.is/BhfOg
“The new study shows 1.8 million excess, or ‘ghost’ voters in 353 counties across 29 states,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The data highlights the recklessness of mailing blindly ballots and ballot applications to voter registration lists. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.”
Aldra, There were only 15 states that mailed out unsolicited ballots and a lot of them have been doing that for quite a while and have the process down to a science. Given the way Trump had been raging about voter fraud, etc. the ones that are doing it for the first time this year only opens the process up to more scrutiny, personally, I think it was a stupid move and gives Trump an opening to contest the results.
My state allows anyone to vote absentee but also requires you to attest that it was you who filled it out with a signature on the back of the envelope along with the signature and address of a witness who saw you fill it out. I think it'd be pretty hard for someone to submit a fraudulent ballot. Also when registering you have to provide your state ID, driver's license, or last four of your SSN and a photo ID.
The National Conference of State Legislators website has a chart on how states verify voted absentee ballots. I've put the link below

2020-10-19 at 7:10 PM UTC in RIP FuckbiscuitI am so sorry to hear of your losses Casper and Oct. (and anyone else close to him), if the first picture with the little girl is recent he looks like he was doing well. It's so sad to lose someone so young, I'll send up prayers for those who were close to him.
Just a side note: given the pain in the leg it sounds like possibly a blood clot may have broke lose and went to the heart. It's pretty instant and often not detectable. -

Originally posted by POLECAT when they say tax the rich , they mean folks makin over 30 g's a year,, ifn they were only gonna tax the folks makin over 100,000 then ide get on board with it
Poley,
According to the analysis (by the Tax Policy Center), for those in the bottom quintile, which include people making less than $25,000, tax cuts would average $750 in 2022. Those in the next quintile, making between $25,000 and $50,000, would see a tax cut of $790. Those in the middle, earning between $50,000 and $89,000, would see a tax cut of $620, while those making between $89,000 and $160,000 would see a cut of $420.
The top earners, by contrast, would see a steep increase. Those in the top 1%, who earn more than $788,000, would see an average tax increase of $266,000, while the super earners — or those in the top 0.1% — would see an average tax hike of $1.6 million.
Biden has also proposed raising the corporate tax rate back to 28% from the 2017 Trump tax cuts 2017.

This article expllains the corporate tax change fairly well and there would be a penalty for moving jobs overseas

Obbe, these should give you a little bit better idea of what is being proposed by the Biden team.
All's I know is I'm sick of working and seeing my tax dollars taken while to the top wage earners don't pay shit and the corporations pay little to nothing. They keep earning money hand over fist while the lower and middle class support the country. Trickle down my ass, they don't trickle down anything. -

2020-09-28 at 8:55 PM UTC in Trump Pays Little To No Federal Taxes
Originally posted by CASPER Who the fuck would pay a dime more to the IRS than legally required to by law?
How Trump’s taxes compare to those of other presidents (1st term taxes)
Carter $6,000 (Carter’s federal tax burden for 1976 had been zeroed out by a massive investment tax credit he earned for purchasing equipment and buildings related to his peanut farm. Carter was upset, as he told The Washington Post at the time, because he had a “strong feeling” that wealthy people like him should pay at least some taxes. So he voluntarily paid the Treasury Department $6,000, the equivalent to 15 percent of his adjusted gross income and slightly more than the 14 percent paid by average taxpayers that year.)
Reagan $165,202
HW Bush $101,382
Clinton $62,670
George W Bush $25,221
Obama $1.8 million
...................................Trump $750 -

2020-04-16 at 12:16 PM UTC in Should we open the country now?There have been 30,000 new cases of Covid-19 in the last 24 hours in the U.S...………..No, we should not open up until widespread testing is available. We do not have this under control. The only way we should slowly reopen is if every single person who will be going back to work gets tested before returning and only if that test comes back clean should they be able to return to work
