Austin MSA vs SFBA and TX vs CA

NY is increasing taxes on high income people and corporations too.

Democrats are trying to do the same in Congress including taxing capital gains at income rates. All so they can fund $3T of wasteful spending in the name of fixing inequality.

Now N Korea is testing missiles again.

Oh, and we’re maintaining the tariffs and other China policies that people complained about a ton when they were implemented.

Yeah. This is sooooo much better. Lol.

Wow, now that Biden is in charge thousands of unaccompanied children are crossing the border. It’s 500 a day, and there’s no room for them.

Have you see the pictures of their accommodations?
Reminds of the animal labs from back in my medical device days.

How is AOC going to characterize the inhumanity of the Biden administration? Lots of handwringing behind the scenes. Trump stopped the flow cold now Biden wishes he had said nothing in the campaign

This is perhaps their strategy to grow population. Without population growth and inflation the entire US economy will collapse.

With over 30 states now suing Biden over both Keystone and a halt to drilling leases on federal lands while rising gas prices eat people’s stimulus checks he likely wishes he’d said nothing about energy either. At least now he has the gift of a mass shooting to distract and re-direct everyone.

If one wants increased immigration there are far more effective and structured ways to do it than just throwing open the border. Other countries are chosey. We should be too. Increasing GDP by merely adding more warm bodies instead of adding more educated, productive bodies doesn’t increase living standards.

If the border were open, people wouldn’t be stuck there now. They could have walked right thru it.

What we have is the opposite of an open border.

It’s amazing how most counties have a qualification system for immigration. Trump mentioned it and was labeled racist for it. If you look at his outline, it was almost identical to what Canada does. Yet, no one is calling Canada racist for doing it.

Another day and another idea for a new tax. I swear every day there’s another new tax and a pile of new regulations they want to add.

They have to with all the low fuel consumption vehicles (worse: pure electric)…cannot raise enough on fuel taxes alone.

With mileage tax, uber and Lyft drivers would wait in the carparks rather than drive around :slight_smile:

Some how I bet it’ll end up being higher in total taxes collected. It’ll also crush lower income people with longer commutes.

Broad-based consumption tax usually crush lower income group more than the wealthier ones. Should tax based on capacity of the engines :slight_smile: or value of the car or category of the car.

“Crushed”? Wow. Can you guys be more dramatic? Mayor Pete didn’t even put up a number there. I will take the other side. I bet low income folks aren’t going to get “crushed”, whatever that means.

:rofl:

Biden is a transformational president. Every few decades the reigning ideology changed. FDR’s New Deal government activism was the guiding ideology from 1933 to Carter. Reagan’s neoliberalism reigned supreme from 1980 to Trump. Biden just began a new chapter. Get used to it. The left turn will last decades.

Wrong turn!

Read some more history and you will realize it’s the correct turn for today’s circumstances. Medicine has to fit the diseases. What’s right in 1980 may not be for 2020.

Think from first principles.
