I think I've asked you about this before, but could you elaborate on this "half my money" statement? 20-30%? I could believe it. but 50%? I'm not sure how much of that is income tax, property tax, sales tax, or hyperbole tax I'm not asking for a tax return or anything (if Trump doesn't need to release his to become the Rep nominee for President, you certainly don't need one to complain on VC), but you'd have to have a pretty high income to have a marginal income tax rate of 50%, and I'm not sure what else is contributing to your claim.

The more you consume...the more you pay. That means the rich will be paying exponentially more taxes than anyone who isn't buying $100k cars and $500k houses. How is that the exact opposite of what you believe? futures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a moot point, but aren't you a little concerned someone running for the highest office can't be bothered to pickup a newspaper/other news source? I'd like the candidates to at least seem like they have some idea what is going on in other parts of the world. I can think of many valid reasons not to vote for Clinton and I don't fault anyone for not voting for her, but she seems to have the strongest grasp on foreign affairs. I'm really disgusted at my choices for the top 4 prospective parties, I don't think anyone is suitable and I think I should start shifting my focus towards the elections for the senate races cause this election is making me feel like my intelligence is being insulted that these are my options for leader and that the candidates platforms seem to be why you should not vote for my opponent rather than why you should vote for me. futures and cantdance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was initially any honest attempt at conversation, admittedly, with some sarcasm. It became more about how you complain about the lack of constructive conversations and then nope the fuck out of most attempts. As you continue to showcase here. If you don't want to engage, fine. That's cool, I never expected it anyway. When the going gets tough the Shitty Rambo rarely gets going. But then again, what do I know. I'm white or something I guess? I suppose it's irrelevant anyway, we are voting for the same candidate. Look dude, I was hungover, juggling several things at once, and already hot because I was getting dragged into a fight between two real life friends who are both being idiots. Just in a general bad ass mood and I took it out on this thread. I want to apologize. I'm not going to, but I want to. Baby steps. ANYWAYS...

boops_popmarket Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 It's been pretty common knowledge for a while now that Hillary Clinton is just a series of clones with an increasingly shortening lifespan. In that GIF, you can see by her gait that she is Treinta C (the 33rd Clinton clone) and, judging by her malfunction, she has the same degenerative neurology that brought down Viente D (clone 24) during the 2008 primaries. The media won't talk about it because they are in the DNC's pocket but it's well documented online and people who aren't sheep have been discussing it for years.

boops_popmarket Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Of course, the mainstream media won't report on the new clone's debut. WAXXX and Tommy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 ^I wonder if those phlegm balls she puked into that glass of water were actually eggs that grew into identical clones. WAXXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
