They bought those laws with campaign donations. I can't do that. I don't have millions lying around to but Senators with. You're making an appeal to fairness where none exists. Their voice is bigger than mine. The world is not, in fact, a fair place. Who knew?
To say that it's ok to cheat on taxes because it's legal I'd like to remind you that these same tax cheats bought the laws that let them cheat. To put it in nerd parlance, when you own the arcade you get to set the dip switches.
You could just report it. Google sells massive numbers of ads in a block. They don't review each and every one. It's not possible. They're not publishing a once a month magazine with 100 pages tops ya know...
either public transit was so popular in Canada that the credit was an unnecessary give away or it was misapplied (do limos count as "public transit"?). Either way, something's rotten in Canuck land.
and declared it pretty much inevitable. Hell, by today's standard's he'd be a bomb-throwing leftist.
You're living in a dream world if you think you'll ever see the world of small communities you're talking about. You can't have it because the ruling class doesn't want it. You have to bend or break the ruling class to your whim with the shear weight of numbers that is the working class. That's what the laws, regulation and wealth redistribution of socialism does. You have to be equally careful that the powerful apperatus you built to do that doesn't get turned against you.
Government is a tool. A powerful, and dangerous tool. Like fire, guns, electricity or any of our other major discoveries you don't just give up on it because it's dangerous. You can't. If you leave a tool like that lying around unattended somebody else is gonna pick you up and brain ya with it.
because the really, really, really hate being told what to do by a boss. The one I know lives in a dilapidated trailer without a roof (seriously, he couldn't afford to fix it so he put a tarp over it) in the middle of nowhere. Their hatred of bosses borders on mental illness and they trade just about everything else in life to avoid it. Most of them had/have failed businesses. There's enough of them you can make good money taking advantage of them. Sorta like how we've got all those scams targeting old people with failing mental facilities. For a brief period of time after 1940 society was actively trying to protect folks like that. Didn't take much to get us to turn on them...
it's doing it to the folks who want to hire their workers for peanuts. From what I can tell it's a platform to connect people to Uber cheap (pun intended) labor overseas. It's actually terrifying. One of the few good sources of jobs left in America is small businesses too tiny to outsource. Fivver might kill those too. If you're a consultant and you're reading this you should be sweating bullets right about now.
his trips to Mar-a-Lago are a drop in the bucket next to the rest of the insanity he's proposing (like the wall, or the crazy expansion of the military). Focus on the stuff that matters. Otherwise you're just falling into the trap that is the non-stop stream of distractions he presents...
to blame the working class. Americans shop on price because we're desperately trying to maintain our standard of living in the face of declining wages. Those wages are declining because of globalization and automation. Both of those started in the 60s after communism was neutralized as a threat (real communism, not the phone crap Mao & Stalin pushed).
Walmart's slogan nails it: You're not destroying Unions and plunging the country into the worst income inequality since WWI; you're saving money, living better.
it's a complete WYSIWYG application platform that can build complex business apps without code ("Clicks not Code" in SF parlance). It's basically Visual Basic 6 for the web.
OTOH I see a lot of shops using VF/Apex to build apps for no good reason (especially in the post Lightening era). But still, properly used Salesforce makes it child's play to build, deploy and update fairly complex business apps. I can't help but wonder if Microsoft & LinkedIn are willing to put the money behind building that sort of application platform.
e.g. that you get to decentralize your database and maybe get your users to pony up the computer time/electricity you're currently paying through the nose for at a datacenter?
nobody gives a rat's behind about ITT tech & the "University" of Phoenix. You're using them as a Straw Man to ignore skyrocketing costs at PUBLIC schools.
and a huge cut in public services for everybody else. This isn't rocket science. Elections have consequences. 22 million will lose health care under Trump (getting a paltry $3000 tax credit in it's place). There are massive cuts to science programs coming. The EPA is getting slashed. Water will be less clean, and in poorer cities contaminated with lead. Air will be dirtier. Kids will get asthma. These things will happen. It's got nothing to do with Red/Blue. It's just what happens when you deregulate. Those regulations weren't made to spoil anyone's fun. They were made to solve problems.
Anyone who wants to cut education spending and pocket the difference as tax cuts. That's also why we need so many H1-Bs. Otherwise we have to pay to train our own workforce.
because 538 says you're wrong, and they have sources. College started going up massively in the 90s when Clinton started cutting federal funds and shoot up like crazy when the Bush cuts hit.
there will be a limit to the expansion of the %of GDP. Instead, people will just die without health care. They will live in poverty and misery without education. You're completely (and convienently) ignoring option #2, which is abandoning the poor and working class to abject poverty and misery and a thousand years of dark ages.
I don't need to sell anything if I already own everything. That's the end goal here of the 1%ers. You'll still do what they say because they decide who eats and who starves.
I knew lots of them before low wages forced them out of the industry. They were all working class folks on the edge of middle class. I watch in the 2000s as one after the other they were replaced by immigrants willing to work for 1/2 minimum wage 70+ hours a week. I miss those guys...
Sales taxes are regressive. They hurt the poor and middle class and help the rich. That's because the working class spend most or all of their money on survival.

they're profiting from it. This is why the left want single payer. Get the middle men out of it and just pay the bloody doctors.

was this: Uber is a payday loan where the interest is maintenance on your car.
