This is why the country is doomed. Small groups of special interest can stop things that benefit the majority. We have about a decade until people realize how bad the spending problem is with medicare, medicaid, social security, and interest on debt. No tax plan is going to generate enough tax revenue to solve it.
Summary
Singapore has one of the toughest gun control laws in the world. According to the Arms Offences Act, unlawful possession or carrying of firearms is punishable with imprisonment and caning. Using or attempting to use arms when committing a scheduled offense is punishable with death. The death penalty may also apply to the offenderās accomplices present at the scene of the offense.
No, this sounds way better and frankly doable. I agree, we donāt enforce or have as tough laws as in Singapore but I am not hearing people are clamoring for the right to bear arms thereā¦
Do they have the death penalty for murder? If youāre killing someone and facing the death penalty for that, who cares about a second death penalty for using a gun to do it?
If you ban guns, you better seal the border or guns will come into the US the same way drugs do.
Mr Pro Apple and Austin would be the best commentator regarding Singapore, but my understanding is that laws are fairly tough there. Remember the American brat, err, young man who went there and either did grafitti or spit gum - should have gotten 20 lashes!!!
The amended bill includes a technical change that immediately adopts a revised measure of inflation, known as āchained CPIā, which would change how inflation is calculated, thus slowing the speed at which tax brackets grow with inflation. As a result, Americans would more quickly find themselves in higher marginal tax brackets ā jumping from a 12 percent top bracket to 25 percent, for example ā as their incomes increase.
The chained measure would also slow the value growth of some inflation-adjusted tax benefits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
No one has demonstrated it would benefit anyone except criminals. All you have is emotional reactions vs data that proves the exact opposite. Yeah, I know data and numbers mumbo jumbo. Iāll take data over opinions.
You aināt going to deflect on this one. See Marcus? I like to dissect what you say, and I know you will deflect on āemotional crapā.
You were caught red handed and you canāt escape what you said. Denounce the criminals from the NRA, for being a small group that is profiting over the killing, or injuring hundreds of Americans in a daily basis with their support of guns of rapid fire.
Like some other people told you, express your sentiments, or grab that data and shove it you know where. The relatives of Americans dying every day would appreciate a word of support, not a hiena smiling because he knows ādataā.
Iām not deflecting. I said find data that shows itāll benefit. Iāve presented plenty that proves it wonāt. I see no point here when you think your opinion beats data. Thatās so irrational that thereās no logic.

LOLā¦this guy is either dumb or narcissist. Really!
Yes, and thereās zero evidence that less people would die. So when people are still dying after you āfixā the problem, what will you tell people? Sorry, I ignored all the data and used my opinion to decide what to do.
If you do the math, the corporate tax gains are more than the losses. Meaning, corporations would pay more total taxes despite lower tax rates. I thought the tax bill was a give away to corporations?
Also, look at the individual items. Increasing the standard deduction only helps those that donāt itemize (lower incomes). Expanding the child tax credit helps lower incomes, since thereās an income cap on the credit. Mortgage, state, and local tax reduction/elimination hits high earners too, since only the top 10% would even itemize. Theyāll have less to itemize.
Itās interesting what the facts are vs the hysteria and headlines.
This is something anybody with a non partisan mind should see. Whatever you hear or see, it is telling you this is not a free market. To be so, incentives and tax deductions have to be equal for all.
You realize that article is advocating people like you paying more taxes? Iām not sure how you ācutā taxes on people that are already paying zero to very little in taxes. Any tax ācutā would be straight up income redistribution.
