Wait, maybe it is. Let's see the coming of the end has been predicted many many times, just never has quite got here yet. Ah, the smug self appointed righteousness of it all. And strangely enough it always seems that just a little more money is needed and fortunately it is always someone else's money. If people think that whatever monies raised by some sort of worldwide taxing or compliance is really really going to remediate global warming and not into the pockets of our self anointed saviors well then they had better watch out for snattlerakes, an extremely toxic and aggressive subspecies of rattlesnakes. Very difficult to tell them apart as their heads and tails are on different ends.

I don't know why proponents of estate tax don't just make it optional, with the alternative being either to sell all the investments and pay capital gains as if the person dying had done so at the moment of death (or perhaps allow them to transfer untaxed to the heirs, but with the original basis). I bet a lot of people would go for the "estate tax" route, if only for the simplicity.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465119548277002277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-63838395568306375472017-06-02T06:09:24.370-07:002017-06-02T06:09:24.370-07:00I see, $1.9 trillion / $14,800/family = 128,300,00...I see, $1.9 trillion / $14,800/family = 128,300,000 families. That's some serious number crunching.<br /><br />We can crunch other numbers like a 2015 $17.95 trillion GDP, so the average family income is $140,000. How does your share look there?<br /><br />Why can't we just go back to the good old fashion days of Hammurabi, just 282 laws. Like #22 "If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death."<br /><br />And speaking of regulation, the death penalty ought to be the cheapest form of justice. Look at the Philippines how quickly they're cleaning up their cities of illegal drugs now that vigilante executions are sanctioned. <br /><br />America could become great just like the Philippines, if we can simplify things sufficiently.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-9363112555785483162017-06-02T05:42:46.453-07:002017-06-02T05:42:46.453-07:00"Then there are the increased costs to the la..."Then there are the increased costs to the larger firms which won't go out of business when the government adds red tape, but will make ordinary goods just that much more expensive."<br /><br />Yep. This is what Climate Change agenda is all about, and why big business believes it's an important issue that we must act on now. NOW!<br /><br />There's great attention given to Elon Musk and his threats to drop out of the Trump business agenda because of Climate Change. Well, if your entire business model was based on subsidies that are based on an environmental hoax, you'd make public threats, too.<br /><br />The reactions to Trump's announcement yesterday are really humorous.
