    Interestingly, they have shown that quite a lot of Trump's support is coming from democrat crossovers. This is demonstrated by his success being largely in states that have open primaries. You normally associate democrats with the left.

    This is funny. You are so desperate to have a grief you literally insist that someone saying black lives are just as valuable as white lives is a racist who doesn't know it.

    Do you often find that all people with different opinions are racists? Is everybody out to get you or just a bunch of them?

    So stating the obvious according to your reply means someone is racists? Its your own damn fault for being too lazy to include a single syllable three letter word.

    This is really a bunch of bullshit designed to divide the country anyways . Its part of the leftist agenda to be honest. Its the same starts that brought us those zany historical figures like Stalin, Mussolini, pol pot, and dare i say Hitler. - now you may be thinking left is right or something here but that is irrelevant. They came out of the leftist agenda and took control after seeds of a communist revolution. There are also no true Scotsman.

    In other words, you are being played like a fiddle. That is not to say the grievance isn't legitimate. The handling simply isn't.

    You do understand that Israel has Muslims in their government right? There have been Arabs in the Knesset since the beginning. Furthermore, about 21% of Israel proper (not Palestine or the contested territories) is Muslim.

    Israel does not treat Muslims badly or poorly. They treat threats poorly and the majority of them can be identified as Muslim but the religion itself or people of the religion is not the primary target. For instance, Israel gave the Kurds weapons for their own defence when the US was contemplating how little involved we could be.

    Muslim is ancillary to the claim of apartheid too. If there wasn't a large threat from the Palestinian population, the Palestinians would largely be treated like Arabs living within Israel.

    I'll see your confusion and raise you a ham sandwich which shouldn't be confused with a hamburger which is not ham at all.

    Your mistake is not continuing the analogy. We are not talking about paying taxes but paying more. The op is that taking deductions and not sheltering your money from taxes and not donating to the government is hypocritical to wanting to pay more taxes. So in this scenario - following the rules of the road while trying to get them changed is mandatory while structuring your income and wealth to avoid taxes is optional. Paying more than you owe (donating tto government ) or not is also optional.

    Well, not only that but a lot of companies already give to charities. Its just another line item expenditure for them and promotes good will within the community. I don't know how treating the government as a charity would be much different.

    Its almost as if they don't really want to pay more but want people to think they do. The reality is they are saying I'll give you mine only if someone else gives you theirs. But I'm willing to bet that somewhere in the details, there will be a loophole that exempts them from participating. That's why I would sponsor legislation that impacts all my competitors too.

    He used the communist party to gain power. Then he burned down the parliament which allowed the enabling act which allowed his true stripes to shine through.

    What the fuck is so difficult about that? The communist in the first red scare who attempted but failed spectacularly at starting a revolution in the US back in 1919 wanted to install a Mussolini type dictatorship in the US to. The fascist and communist of the time blended together often as well as the anarchist. They used each other - perhaps unknowingly but were indistinguishable in the use of frustration among the workers.

    History sort of tells a different story. It is widely known that Hitler co-opted the communist success with the working class. But it is also widely known what you say about hitler's views is true to.

    So you see, he used communism internally to gain power in order to exterminate communism externally which he labeled as a conspiracy of the Jews to enslave the world.

    I don't see any problems with his claims. Hell, even in the US with the first red scare back in 1919 you couldn't really tell the difference between communism and socialism and most of the communist expelled from the US ended up being key players in Germany and Italy where we saw how they naturally progressed. Hitler reportedly said people do not understand the difference between principle and policy and that most people are pamphleteres not understanding that he was implementing the policy they were pushing with their pens.

    Now you may be thinking well we have this scale someone invented which defines it all differently so it is unpossible but history shows us different. Nazi Germany was a very progressive country.

    Now that doesn't mean all progressive or socialist policy will result in a new communistic or fascist state but it is not out of line if someone connects the dots.

    Well, not always but a pyramid scheme is already illegal. Owning stocks or shares in a company is not. In fact, the law creates a fiduciary duty to those running the company which preclude them from doing illegal activities. However, illegal activities is not the only way businesses fail.

    Here is a problem with taking more than your investment if a company does something illegal or just fails through no actions of your own. Most people who are investing in corporations are investing through some managed funds or programs within their retirement. If they lose their retirement, your taxes will have to be raised to provide their retirement. So suppose your 401k which gives you very little choice in which companies it invests in has a companyin the portfolio that does something illegal and the shareholders are held responsible. So this one company fails and goes bankrupt which is defined as more debt than it can pay. Now not only is your 401k out the value of the shares it owned but the total loss through absolutely no actions of your own. Very rarely in any other aspect of life are you subject to fines or debt of others because of no actions you take other than a casual or ancillary relationship with someone else. There should be no difference here just because some people hate corporations and the people investing in them.

    They are responsible to the amounts invested. But they take absolutely no actions in the running of the company so why should they be responsible for more than that? It is not like they participated in anything.

    And no - profiting from illegal activities does not directly translate to shareholders profits. You could liken those more to someone who robbed a bank going to McDonald's. McDonald's Will not lose the money it collected for that big Mac and soda even though it was purchased with the loot from the heist. Likewise, you won't have your paycheck confiscated because drug dealers purchase your software with drug money.

  23. How illegal is it?

    Seriously. Is it civil law illegal or criminal law illegal and is there even penalties for replacement of American workers with H1B workers?

    We are told it is illegal. But this isn't the first time an elected official has publicly stood against this behavior. You would think that the US government itself would have an interest in it's laws being followed. The president even has a constitutional requirement to faithfully execute the laws of the land. So why does it take a non existent union to sue over illegal activities if they are actually illegal? The union should be completely unnecessary if the practice is truly illegal. All it should require is anyone - let alone an elected member of congress to report the violation of law and have it investigated and prosecuted.
