It's a written communication, where he expresses the desire that some faction, which includes him, will "stop it" (Trump's election). It's laughable to think that the "we" didn't refer to the FBI.Plus, he said in a personal text, "we" will stop him not specifying "we". And you take that as enough evidence for a conspiracy. It's so laughably ridiculous. I mean it's one word in a private text. — Baden
equally bad. — Agustino
Even if he couldn't follow up with it, the fact that he indicated to anyone that the FBI may be used for such purposes is disgraceful to say the least...But haven't you heard anyone ever sound off about something they couldn't follow up with? Saying we'll do this, we'll do that while actually just sounding off because they can't? That never occurred to you? Instead you think the conspiracy theory is more plausible. Really? Common, dude! :) — Baden
Yes, I think no conspiracy is less likely than 95%. At the very least, I'm quite sure there will be evidence for the intent to create a conspiracy. Let's say 75% on that.Let's say I'm 95% on that. I'd put money on it if I could get decent odds. What's your bet. Do you really think the conspiracy is more likely? — Baden
Not tax on income.
High tax (could be 30 to 40%) on non necessities. E.g, Mac pro, beer, new cars, new furniture, new tv's etc. — raza
How about no income tax for the working class and tax the rich elites more? — Baden
So the poor will be even more worse off? Because below a certain threshold they don't pay taxes anyway. Instead they pay more on anything that isn't basic food and second-hand crap — Michael
Most of the rich people I know have been the beneficiaries of wealth accumulated by their families. These same people, in my admittedly limited experience, are far more likely to buy up properties and extract rents from working people than open businesses and create jobs — Erik
Under my scheme they would pay the greater tax — raza
