I sure hope El Trump get’s us the answer before the election, otherwise why bother with an election?
I say give him a second term and piss the ass-hats off. Getting tired of playing defense.
4 more years of this wasn’t enough for you?
Maybe Winnie would prefer someone like John Kerry?
That would change nothing and you guys with that simplistic one line horseshit are getting old. Come up with a new line of bullshit.
To control you.
Next question ?
Yes, of course. The great trick is to get you to accept and even crave that control. That’s what an election is about.
Y’all are onto something. I’ll quote an article that showed up on zerohedge within the last couple years:
If you don’t think that our taxes are providing AAA-rated, tax-free, passive income, for the very, very wealthy, you might be a low-information voter.
ZeroHedge has adopted a policy of strong censorship of its comments section.
Its sad that the Twitter communists took it over.
Because the people wouldn’t feel like they were under the thumb of the government.
The psychological impact of having what you have earned taken away from you before you ever have a chance to see it yourself is profound.
Money isn’t real, it’s an illusion.
True that money is an illusion but if this mass printing is going to continue under a second term for Trump and he intends to do bupkis, we are Venezuela II at that point. That ILLUSION is going to bury us.
About a week ago “Walmart Wine” aka Oak Leaf brand jumped from $2.97 to $4.24/bottle, a 43% increase.
That is the barometer I have been watching for 10 years now, and the barometer just shit itself.
22- I don’t think Joe Average has figured out that food is inflating at a rapid rate. Supplies here are sketchy with the exception of WallyWord/.Gov Company Store. The shelves are fairly well stocked with a few empty sections.
This will hit the Merikan consumer like a brick in the not too distant future. I don’t hear anyone in government raising a serious alarm. Aldi’s open freezer and meat section has been mostly empty for weeks and weeks, where is the food?
Wait for it. Grocery Items will remain unpriced because any price will change from when you place the item in the basket to when you get to checkout.
SeeBee- Just place your order online to lock in the price before you get to the grocery, kinda like locking in on a better mortgage interest rate. 🙂

bl,
you nailed it on mostly well stocked w/a few empty sections–
the med /health/soap section of the super wally world near me has a severe shortage(not a single bottle of alcohol,peroxide,etc.) but plenty of food–
they are also short on disinfectants such as lysol,bleach,etc.–
i’ve also noticed that shortages are occurring more in generics than in name brand although walmart had an obvious supply chain problem w/their house brands long b4 the wuhan flu hit–
you guys who have let your supplies run down need to restock in case their is another lockdown–
Where do you live? Everything is fairly normal supply wise in Northern Illinois and pretty good in Iowa too.
Supply and demand –all that hand sanitizer — peak ‘hol etc etc etc

The Origin of Tax Withholding
So where did the withholding tax come from? It was not part of the original income tax that resulted from the sixteenth amendment in 1913. Very few people paid any taxes back then anyway. The income tax did not directly affect the average American until World War II.
On the eve of the war, few Americans paid income taxes. Those that owed taxes paid them in one lump sum on March 15 (later changed to April 15). To pay for the war, the Revenue Act of 1942 lowered exemptions and raised income tax rates. But it also did something even more insidious—it instituted a 5 percent “Victory Tax” on all wages above an exemption of $624. The tax was to be collected by the employer and deducted from the employee’s paycheck—just like the Social Security tax that began in 1935.
The Current Tax Payment Act of 1943 then revolutionized the income tax by making withholding taxes universal. The withholding tax was part of the new tax plan offered by Beardsley Ruml (1894–1960), the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and treasurer of R.H. Macy and Co. By 1945, about three-fourths of Americans were paying federal income taxes. And although the withholding tax was sold as a wartime emergency, like most expansions of government instituted during wartime, it has been a way of life for most Americans ever since.
The Curse of the Withholding Tax
The income tax allows the government to confiscate the wealth of its citizens. The curse of the withholding tax is that it allows the government to commit this crime systematically, effortlessly, painlessly, and benevolently.
Surprisingly, it was a free market economist who helped the federal government implement the withholding tax in the first place. As was pointed out by the Austrian economist, Murray Rothbard (1926–1995), in his 1971 article “Milton Friedman unraveled”:
One of Friedman’s most disastrous deeds was the important role he proudly played, during World War II in the Treasury Department, in foisting upon the suffering American public the system of the withholding tax. Before World War II, when income tax rates were far lower than now, there was no withholding system; everyone paid his annual bill in one lump sum, on March 15. It is obvious that under this system, the Internal Revenue Service could never hope to extract the entire annual sum, at current confiscatory rates, from the mass of the working population. The whole ghastly system would have happily broken down long before this. Only the Friedmanite withholding tax has permitted the government to use every employer as an unpaid tax collector, extracting the tax quietly and silently from each paycheck. In many ways, we have Milton Friedman to thank for the present monster Leviathan State in America.

Though he is almost always touted as a libertarian and a staunch proponent of free markets, ((Friedman)) and his academic cohorts at Chicago U. essentially advanced the ideology of a monopoly, in this case by his own tribe, on the issuance of money, arguably the single most crtical commoditiy in a truly free market, enforced by violence or the threat thereof by an entity, in this case the central government, with a monopoly on the use of force and a corollary ability to steal wealth, via taxation, and otherwise to impose a form of slavery on a goyim population.
Fake libertarianism for the goyim, veiled hegemony for his tribe.
FTR, Friedman was also the exalted architect of Chile’s economy under General Pinochet.
A little vulgar…but so is the truth sometimes. (go to 1:22 if the video is not cued up..if you liked the movie, well enjoy the entire clip)
Nice selection, wish I’d thought of that!
People like me who have $ millions get free money, only you you peons work for it.
…Kidding about me having $millions.
You can read thousands of pages of Griffin, Eustace Mullins, Goodson, etc. for a full understanding, but the absolute best, single most simple document explaining our monetary system is a tiny 12 page guide by Pastor Sheldon Emry called “Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People.” Amazingly you can still find it on archive.org. Grab it while you can and share with everyone you know:

The folks representing us seem upset with the idea of unemployment and free checks but foreign aid and giving money to banks and the stock market is ok. The coming problems with paying for homes and cars and life’s necessities will soon overwhelm us all and the Gov. seems oblivious to what’s going on. Trump is tone-deaf. Sadly he is better than senile Joe Biden.
Your government is not tone deaf. Sam has his fingers in his ears and is singing “LA LA LA LA” at perfect pitch 440A just as the sheet music calls for.
Most pop singers do not sing at perfect pitch, they’re mostly flat. I’d like to talk to the guy who invented auto tune, now we have absolute morons singing flat and off-key bachatas and boleros making bazzilions and getting free poon to boot.
Not enough Natalia Fourcade’s out there these days.
I must admit that I am somewhat disappointed at Trump but if for no other reason I will vote for him again just because he calls out the piece of shit liberal news media. That alone is worth my vote.
Do as you wish but by that logic if he pointed out corporations/bankers/gov were all pissing on your back would he be doing anything more than pointing out the obvious? Don’t have a dog in the fight but even your worst enemy will be happy to point out your problems.
In the end they are all owned and really just a face for you to focus on as that gov/bankster/corporate hog is jammed up your yin yang.
