And the shadow banking industries, which have nothing to do with you complaining about those who are so poor they pay no taxes or the working poor, who qualify for EITC.

so let me ask a question.
why do you feel the rich taking their wealth offshore and away from US tax rates is immoral? Why, in your collective opinions, should anyone be forced to maximize their tax liabilities?
ANd a follow on question. Why do you believe that passing additional taxes from the wealthy through the maze of the federal government, to be distributed according to the whims of the politicians you despise, why is that a better solution than allowing the rich to invest where they might maximize their investment returns?
ps. isn't interesting that politicians are a large % of those sheltering their wealth?“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

You acknowledge that the government is in bed with business, passing laws for the benefit of each other at the determent of whoever.
But you support regulation by the government and tighter tax laws because...fuck business.
You are supporting the strengthening of the relationship between government and business when you empower the government to tax more and regulate.
When is it when you liberals out there will figure out that the government (no matter who runs it) doesn't give any more fucks about you than businesses?

Kershaw, seriously, why do you think more government in your life is going to improve things when more government in our lives for the past 50+ years has been the reason everything is so fucked up.
your socialist president obama jacked up tax rates, the rich are richer, federal tax receipts are at a record, and the government is still running a huge deficit every year.
the progressive liberal socialists have pretty much gotten their wishes forever and we find ourselves in a fucked up mess, and you want more?“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

the fact that the GOP is apparently willing to throw the election to prevent Trump is proof enough to me the Republican party is corrupt. and then there is this-
individuals may actually have different politics; the parties do not. the goal of both party establishments is to enrich the 1%

Controlled "leaks"; an old style of geopolitical warfare. Nothing new and something I'd expect is out of the the DoD and CIA play books.
Want to ruin a person's political career? Want another reason to invade a non threatening sovereign nation? Leak something.
Just something to add from the conspiratorial peanut gallery ;)
