Don’t look at me, I started a thread about eliminating the Air Force and I got shut down with a quickness.

Well to be fair the majority of people being fuckin stupid about defense spending is why it was allowed to balloon up the way it did

Then go out and support one. Why sit around like a bum while others do it for you? You are giving me the idea that you would be dead weight if you were actually part of one that required actual work on your part to be done.

Because then he’d have to actually work at something and be responsible for his own success.

The corporate tax was normalized to the average of the g20. This is literally leveling the playing field of international business. Even with all those loopholes you decry US corporations played more than the rest of the G20, which is stupid.
Poor people pay zero income taxes, trump didn’t change that. Keep building straw men and then whining about them.
No, they aren’t on the chopping block. Do you feel the same way about the military budget? And why aren’t those other countries who have even more generous social programs going bankrupt? Because, maybe they aren’t using them to pay for tax cuts to those who already have more than enough.
But among the programs most likely on the chopping block, the sources say, are food stamps, welfare, income assistance for the disabled and perhaps even veterans benefits.
Hallelujah!
Because I have limited driving abilities.
Because I’m currently disabled douchebag and not allowed to get better in the U.S. I’m here for pharma to cash in on my disease not to help in anyway unless they can make a lot of money from me.
You literally posted a link in this very response showing they are on the chopping block…
Yup. As I’ve said directly to you in the past.
They are. Are you serious? I just showed you their debt to gdp ratio’s… That’s them going bankrupt.
I bet they do.

How the hell were we supposed to know you’re disabled, twat? Why don’t you fly your ass to Panama and get a stem cell treatment.
Shit, if it works, I’ll start supporting stem cell treatments in the US just for you.
I mean, I already do, but those are just details…
I didn’t know this. I apologise for my previous comment.
RE: Pharma and stem cells
The problem here is political. It has nothing to do with the pharma companies. Your fight is with organized religion and wrong public perception.
Lay off the socialism nonsense. Socialism is the one eating itself.
Look at the trend:
Bernie is full of shit.

What disease, if I may ask
Maybe the rich pay more overall but they may pay less as a percentage.
As an example, Buffett said he paid an effective tax rate of 17.4 percent, while people who worked in his office made much less but paid higher effective tax rates of between 33 percent and 41 percent, averaging 36 percent.
And sometimes very large corporations pay No fed tax.
That’s because he lives off cap gains, which is hugely important to our economy, you have no idea if corporations pay income tax as it’s not a required disclosure (I’ve already explained this multiple times), and they pay a fuckton of other taxes anyway. Try again.

The highest statutory rate is 39.6%. A) how the fuck is someone’s effective rate 41%? If it’s because of AMT that doesn’t make sense to me, but if it’s because of AMT he ain’t makin chump change either. B) If their average effective rate is 36% they need to fire their CPA because he/she sucks donkeyballs at tax planning.

And your argument was that they are going bankrupt as a means to say they aren’t on the chopping block. That bankruptcy is the reason they won’t be around. Not that their funding is being cut as a means to balance the budget, to pay for all those tax cuts.
Sweden began to build its welfare state early in the 20th century and greatly expanded it between 1945 and 1975. Up to the 1970s, the “Swedish Model” succeeded for several reasons. First, the Swedish economy grew steadily during this period.
What? How was there growth during this period?
Because of the extensive number of benefits available to all age and income groups, poverty was virtually abolished in Sweden by the 1970s.
What blasphemy!
Fearing that the conservative government was going too far in cutting back the welfare state, Swedish voters returned the Social Democratic Party to power in 1994.
Man how did this happen?
I guess the Swedes like BK.
I bet they don’t.
Try the social programs of other countries, who don’t run the country for the benefit of the few.
How is this even possible with all of their social programs?
According to data released by the government on Wednesday, Sweden ended 2016 with a budget surplus of 85 billion.
