Gotcha. I have no idea what the work culture there is like. HSI guys seem pretty happy. USSS seems like ***** gig since a lot of those guys dip after their three years is up. Especially since that mandatory rotation to DC kicks in after 3-5. Once you're an 1811 seems like you can pretty much take it anywhere in the G so retention is an issue for the bad/boring jobs.

As an aside, since it's adjacent to my world, I've noticed that they're in full-on open recruitment for criminal investigators. Interested to see 1. how many they're actually able to recruit and retain beyond, say, three years and 2. how that ends up effecting their numbers for prosecutions related to financial crimes and narcotics income.

But again, you want to play the per capita games (66% vs 88%!) until it no longer suits you (now, or for crime, or any number of things). You latched onto incomplete data, obviously never actually looking at the source material that you recommended I look at thinking you had a solid snarky retort, because it painted a picture that you thought looked good for *your guys*. The claim is that there is all this uncollected tax from rich folks and the IRS needs shitloads more money to capture it. Either the IRS doesn't believe that, or they don't care. If the rich are illegally withholding tax money from the G at an astounding rate you'd think that they'd audit more than 0.4% of returns reporting income of $10M or more in 2021.

Your assertion was that 66% of audits were levied on 88% of the population, which is demonstrably false by simply thinking for five seconds. But I'll do your homework for you. Number of individual returns examined (audits) 2023: 518,607 Individual returns examined for positive incomes $0 - $200,000: 474,127 For a 91.4% figure. It's even simpler than I thought. Thanks for the link.

I gave my heart so easily I cast aside my pride But when you fell for someone else, baby I broke up all inside And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again That's why I'm a-singin' it Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love Please don't make me Fall in love again

What portion of that 88 percent pays zero income tax and/or is not required to file?

Nice of them to bury this tidbit way down deep:

“The Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense." - Sonia Sotomayor

tl;dr the “natives (lol)” are sore losers whose way of life and “cultural heritage” got exactly what was coming to them. The land was conquered, just like your ancestors conquered it (and did nothing with it) from the prior occupants, and on and on back to when humans first crossed over from Asia. The “average descendants of the colonists” served in several brother wars and spilled their blood on this and foreign soil for the sake of the American people. And yes, every American Indian who claims to be part of a sovereign nation should be denaturalized and deported. Enough is enough. No reservation, no sovereign nation.

So don't ask me where I been 'cause you don't wanna know and don't ask me who I'm seein' no, you don't wanna know and don't come around me here when I need you the most leave it alone leave a little room for the holy ghost Now your pretty horse is runnin' wild and free You can go and find a lover baby better than me talkin' snow for days with your friends in L.A. have mercy

This is incorrect. Those who came to this land between then and the French and Indian War are rightly called colonists or settlers. They came to an untamed land and proceeded to conquer and tame it and establish a new people and a new nation. Following the Revolution, immigrants were only eligible for citizenship after a residency period, declaration of intent to become citizens, and if they were white (which was understood not just to mean Northwest European, but also Protestant Christian), and free men. This essentially ensured that all who came over to the newly established nation were essentially cousins to the American people by ancestry and shared a common religion, making integration incredibly simple, at least on a national scale. Note that among the grievances in the Declaration is that the King ceased forcing the assimilation of the French-born colonists to the north (who spoke French, were Catholic, and were accustomed to the practice of French civil law rather than English common law). All this to say that even if you want to call the colonists "immigrants," you do them and their posterity a disservice by pronouncing them equivalent with the modern day third worlder pushing their way past our porous border.

They did the map again.

Obesity is a bipartisan issue

Spare me. You treat Americans like little economic widgets, your career revolves around making life worse for everyone in your city, and you think everyone on earth is entitled to their homeland except for whites, who represent approximately 8% of the global population. I'll take the moral outrage from you the day you grow a soul, catamite.

At the founding of the country, which foreign people were eligible to become citizens?

You're too cute. Anyway it's because they aren't American.

Because their visas are going to be revoked.

Out of over 20 million. lol Tell you what, when we deport them we can replace them with American students and now they'll be included in the cute little "college student spending" figure you cited.

How many of them are foreign nationals?

The student visa one is the first time I've heard of them being included in the "line go up" myth whilst the work visas keeping America afloat has been so thoroughly disproven it's not even worth commenting on. Immigrants drive down wages. That's their contribution to the economy.

Yes, the economic power of college students is unmatched. What does your inner voice say as you type ***** like that?

I’m not saying that they all must go. But mass deportations starting with every illegal immigrant and moving up through student and work visas and other “temporary” immigrants should be priority 1 for any decently right wing candidate.

Every democracy has the same problem: it inevitably rigs the system to favor left-wing results over time. Most “conservatives” fail to understand that, at best, right wing “politics” and electoral outcomes are just a slowdown of this inevitability. Germany didn’t vote itself out of Weimar, and the heritage people of Europe cannot vote themselves out of the current situation, as you can see above. Even in their most potent right wing electoral turnout in recent history the French people get that translated into gains for their enemies. There’s a few reasons, but at that point Americans as a people had existed for over 200 years. Anyone who came after that came to a different sort of place. The societal and constitutional order had radically changed and explosions in immigration shortly thereafter from culturally dissimilar peoples started to create a clear divide between Americans and foreigners.

Start with the civil war as a cutoff point and go from there. I disregard pretty much any opinion on America from anyone whose last name doesn’t appear on the Civil War rolls.
