Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Really terrible, allowing people to keep a little more of their own money.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

SOP for anyone on the left: Someone says something I don't like, so I just call it nonsense.

No just that most of what you say is nonsense. Just like many members here pointed out about your union BS.

How about this. Let everyone keep all their money. Lets see how long you would last in that situation.

That's the way he runs the country, I can't believe that you don't know that by now...
What I know is he is not worried about the country, only himself!

I'm pretty sure I'm middle class or perhaps below and this would benefit me.  ;D

How about this. Let everyone keep all their money. Lets see how long you would last in that situation.

I actually like this idea very much, and think it's very sustainable, moving to a consumption-based tax system (with some safeguards and an ex-patriation tax). Let everyone keep as much money as they want, and pay a tax when they decide they want to spend their money.

The bottom line is that our current fiscal situation isn't sustainable. The two tax alternatives to resolve the problem are a consumption (VAT) tax, or a wealth Tax. We might end up with both. Though I'd really hope the next Congress and SCOTUS will be up to the task to make a major reform, possibly with some kind of constitutional amendment to bolster it (though that requires more than just Congress and SCOTUS).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I hate to say this, but this is very much an Exgingi post, and I don't mean that in a good way. One guy says tax cuts for the rich are bad, the next guy says all tax cuts are good, the first guy says so why not take away all taxes. Comes along Exgingi and says I like that idea - consumption based taxation is the way to go. Huh? Man dechar shmei?

Comes along Exgingi and expands and crystallizes the idea says I like that idea - [let people keep all their money, or choose how much of it to keep, by switching to a] consumption based taxation is the way to go.
FTFY.

Though at this point this thread should have long been renamed "having fun with CM".

Yeah, that's exactly the point I'm making. You have a habit of introducing a new idea into a topic as if it's the same as a previously mentioned idea.
