Guy Chamberlin Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 17 hours ago, Archy1221 said: Absolutely. Anyone who thinks they aren’t paying enough can certainly refuse the tax breaks they claim (they don’t) or send money in to the treasury willingly (they don’t) Or.....you can read the articles that explain why it's never that simple, and the unexpected costs that arise when government spending is cut. While you want to consider the investor-driven viewpoint of that article to be leftward biased, you didn't explain what it got wrong. Of course there remain die-hard supply-side defenders, but their numbers have dwindled considerably, including some of the original supply side architects. btw, anyone who thinks they are paying TOO much in taxes can certainly move to one of these low-tax utopias: Belarus. Income Tax Rate: 13% ... Russia. Income Tax Rate: 13% ... Switzerland. Income Tax Rate: 11.5% ... Kazakhstan. Income Tax Rate: 10% ... Romania. Income Tax Rate: 10% ... Oman. Income Tax Rate: 0% ... Bahamas. Income Tax Rate: 0% ... Brunei Darussalam. Income Tax Rate: 0% 1 Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 @Dr. Strangelove I believe it was you that posted about gun related deaths being down in certain cities across America. Kansas City was one of them, which I mentioned to you it was also coming off all time highs in gun related deaths for 2021/2022. Here is another aspect to consider as all gun related shootings do not lead to a death. Violent crime is high, it’s unfortunate Biden and his folk just don’t want to acknowledge it. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article287989065.html Nonfatal shootings in KC have jumped 39% this year. Over 40 victims have been kids Read more at: https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article287989065.html#storylink=cpy 2 Link to comment

But, if the voters of Kansas or Missouri are concerned about kids being shot, they should vote for strict gun laws. The voters of Kansas and Missouri don't give two flying f#&%s if kids are getting shot, so they don't. Furthermore, you are free to articulate the policies or actions Biden has implemented that has led to the spike in non fatal gun violence. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment

But if you chose to believe that America is a lawless hellhole, please articulate what policies, administrative actions, or anything that can relate the Biden Administration to the rise in crime that we have to squint, tilt our heads, and complete fabricate in our minds in order to find. 2 1 1 Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I was about to post this about San Francisco's rapid drop in crime, along with the ongoing drop in the national crime rate. Thank you, Biden's America! Link to comment

Thank you, Biden's America! https://www.axios.com/local/san-francisco/2024/04/08/crime-rate-falling-theft It makes sense, they are taking a "hardline approach" on crime, more cops on the streets, state patrol out all over, modern technology being used. If I am going to commit a crime I am surely not doing it in a place that makes it hard. Good for San Fran for these measures. With that said, I never really heard about high crime rates in San Fran before...just high property taxes, like, really high, like super duper high. 1 Link to comment
