    I've been on ignore since we first talked, you have never even attempted to address any of the very valid points I have made.

    So what's new?

    I myself never block anyone on principle. My ignore list has nobody on it, never has ans never will. Don't care what people say to me, sticks and stones. I am confident enough in my positions to subject them to scrutiny.

    History tells us that Capital Gains Rate decreases increase Capital Gains Tax revenue. Conversely, Capital Gains Tax Rate increases decrease Capital Gains Tax revenue.

    One can conclude that people promoting IRS attacks on investment income don't care about people on the bottom, They are simply jealous children whose jealousy ends up hurting everyone, especially those at the bottom.

    The liberal elites don't constantly tell us they got to be where they are because they're so much more hardworking and don't have sex and how all we degenerate reprobates depend on scraps from their tables for survival, when we made the table to begin with.

    I don't remember that. I do remember conservative elites telling us they don't want hard dicks showering with their teenage daughters because on any given day they break into a chorus of Shania Twain's, "I Feel Like a Woman".

    What point are you trying to make?
    The most racist President in US history also gave us the Income Tax?
    When Europe and Japan were in rubble, the US could tax at a top marginal rate of 90%?
    As one of 2 countries who tax citizenship, the other being Eritrea, the US would lose it's successful class. An example is a Facebook co-developer renouncing his US citizenship before cashing out.

    It was Kennedy who dropped the top marginal rate to 70%. If you are going to denigrate others, I suggest you check your facts before demonstrating that basic history is way over your head.

    Perhaps Reich forgot that in 2011 the Democrats announced that they were going to transform politics into a race hustling extravaganza, here:

    The Future of the Obama Coalition
    By Thomas B. Edsall
    November 27, 2011 11:34 pm

    ,,,,, preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class.


    All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.


    ,,,,

    https://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/the-future-of-the-obama-coalition/

    The Washington oligarchy, made up of wealthy donors and their consultants and lobbyists attached to the major parties don't like Trump one bit since he shunned them, won the election, and could do right by the American people as opposed to owing the oligarchs favors ,,, like cheap labor from the 3rd world.

    EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IN THE US

    I haven't seen the American electorate so bolluxed by a president.

    The only economic condition that will dissuade the Rabid Right is a descent into Unemployment. That's a great-shame given what America has been through since 2008.

    But, then again, most of America in the middle and on the Right do not understand the fundamental economic evolution that is happening.The country (in fact all countries) are quitting the Industrial Age and entering the Information Age. That "advance" requires an much higher level of uniform societal intelligence. Americans are not stoopid, but neither do enough of them possess a postgraduate degree to qualify them as "sufficiently adapted to the higher level of knowhow".

    We are entering a very different world, boyz-'n-girlz ...

    Educational attainment in the US:

    [​IMG]

    It's the lower-line that is the most important! And if it is not good-enough, the reason is that Tertiary-education in the US is so DAMN EXPENSIVE!

    Which is why Bernie and Hillary were right to offer all families earning less than $100K a year, the right to financial assistance to send their kids to post-secondary instruction (vocational through to Doctorate level) ...

    Hopefully, the rabid right is a good deal fewer than the last 3 years would lead one to believe, and I think that is so, since in WWII we defeated the Nazis instead of joining with them.

    But we defeated them with a segregated Army. WWII was a dispute between White Supremacists.

    The tax incurs when you take your money out of investments not when you put it in. It was corporate tax cuts that boosted the stock markets and the economy. I am not aware of any recent capital gains tax.

    Central Planning Socialists told everyone that they had to have a college education. Economics tells us that with the finite number of colleges, an explosion of demand would drive the price of a college education up. Central Planning Socialists then told us that public employees needed huge pensions to kick in after they no longer needed to win elections by the people paying the bills. That drove the cost of college through the roof.

    Central Planning Socialists also cemented their victim constituency by introducing every form of victimhood as a curriculum with no chance of a career to follow. Thanks to Central Planning Socialists, there are more graduates in Women Studies, African- American Studies, Hispanic Studies, LGBTQ Studies on the job market without marketable knowledge.

    Who are these Central Planning Socialists? They are Democrats. They gave us Obamacare under the false pretense of cutting healthcare costs by $2500 per household. These self-proclaimed economic geniuses thought that by increasing demand for medical services and decreasing supply by chasing good doctors into other professions, the cost would go down. Instead, costs spiked, deductibles spiked, and co-pays increased in a failed effort to cut demand that cannot be met.

    Now these same economic geniuses want to remove any impediment to frivolous demand for healthcare by implementing a single payer system like the VA ,,, a success only in the minds of Central Planning Socialists.

    There is a later version if you go to the website, but it includes recovery years from the disastrous effect of a 40% increase in the minimum wage after HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo loaded up the housing market by telling Fannie and Freddie to buy toxic mortgages extended to minimum wage workers. We called that the Great Recession and blamed Bush, but it was really the Great Failure of Central Planning that was never exposed like many of the failures of Central Planning.

    Like every real estate professional, Trump has learned to live rent free. In this case it is in the minds of people who don't know him, but hate him nonetheless.

    You lost me at the gate quoting Reich. Reich might be a crackhead but is smart enough to know that the kind of wealth redistribution the Dems are running on is political suicide.Taxing the "filthy rich" is just never going to happen and any pie in the sky schemes are always paid for by the middle class. The middle class is presently enjoying something that's been missing in America for a long time, prosperity. The middle class is in no mood to listen to the spreading the wealth message that old dog don't hunt no more and never will again. Putting more money in the taxpayers pockets is worth so much more than election year platitudes. The Dems keep switching seats on the Titanic and just don't know it yet. It isn't that we love Trump it's that we've absolutely had it with the BS of the left and their empty promises of the last fifty years of a robust Democracy and shared prosperity.

    A laughable attempt to justify murder in the womb. Full on self serving poppycock designed almost entirely to obfuscate rather than clarify. It is the same sort of claptrap racists and anti-semites use to justify their horrific actions. The notion that one should be able to kill some one merely because they are inconvenient at the moment is revolting to rational people.

    He is living tax free in your little head. He won another. After 3 more years of Democrat Central Planners managing the decline, I would have been poorer than I am now. Name calling will not convince me or anyone else with a clue. Democrats have been calling Trump names since he announced his run for President and his plan to end the Democrat Central Planning Oligarchy. He has won every attack, attacks on his campaign, transition and Presidency. The smart money is on Trump winning again in 2020..

    People like you do NOT UNDERSTAND that the embryo is not a baby.

    Stages of appellation in the development of humans - from here:

    The embryo can be terminated before birth and it is not murder. Murder or killing of a "baby" or "child" can only happen once it is born. (Except in some parts of the US that still does not understand the medical-terms that have existed since the process of birth was finally understood hundreds of years ago.)

    Nonetheless, it is due-process in the US to permit termination of fetus at an earlier stage than birth. The exact stage is defined in the US state-by-state and is therefore variable. From here, Foeticide:

    Supreme Court decision:
    Just what the above means (and where, that is in which state) is described here state-by-state: File:Map of US, feticide laws.svg
