Bill Maher: Hero to the left or enemy of the people?
OrangeBills replied to Westside's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Wrong, he's great It's just the Left is utter bananas right now (and will be probably forever until some foreign power eliminates them) -
How will Trump’s tax INCREASE affect you?
OrangeBills replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I don't know where you're getting that math, but it's way more than $16k a year. I'll just leave it at that, we're all friends here -
How will Trump’s tax INCREASE affect you?
OrangeBills replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yeah, but I was using $500,000 income to be diplomatic...that's barely middle class in many areas of Northeast Blue States. It's a much bigger impact than that, ESPECIALLY in a virtual work-from-anywhere world The Northeast is doomed long-term I think -

Um, really? It costs a LOT of money that one could keep just by shifting from place to place 7% State Income Tax, obviously that's $7,000 per $100,000, and really kicks in for those over $500,000, so that's $35,000 minimum that you have to pay AND don't get back in Federal. Then absurd property taxes, say $25,000 per year...so that's $60,000 per year which would probably cost you ~$10,000 in Florida or Texas, and before you were able to offset Federal Income but no more. Yes, Trump really screwed the Blue States, but they're in a bind because to unwind it they'd be "lowering taxes on the Wealthy and raising them on the unwealthy" Of course, all this does is highlight that many, many of Trump's programs were actually some of the better Democrat ideas just actually executed. But he sent mean Tweets so Dems are upside-down on themselves -
One major problem in the world is the lack of understanding about Hydrogen. Hydrogen is not an Energy or Electricity production mechanism. It is a store of power, a delivery mechanism so to speak. In fact it takes a great deal of energy to create Hydrogen power (Grey & Blue) vs. the Green Hydrogen that is really pie in the sky until we have more Nuclear (Fission now, Fusion eventually).

It's a good question you ask...my personal view (long gone from possibility) would be that low-income pay not much, middle-class pays more (as a %-age of their income) and the wealthy pay a much higher %-age AND we have a much smaller Federal Gov't that focuses on the things that a Federal Gov't in a Republic should focus on...
-
that is 100% the plan. Headlines last week that the FEDERAL GOV'T was going to write checks to "people who drive cars and have suffered from higher prices..." This is EXACTLY what the the Leftist/Socialist agenda-ites actually puppeteering behind Biden are up to. It's Socialist whack-a-mole. Toss out idiotic ideas ($1.9T "Historic", unnecessary stimulus) without consideration for the externalities & consequences (runaway inflation) then toss out even further idiotic ideas (print more money) because they're just plain stupid instead of doing what would make more sense (convince companies to pump more Oil because you're "not going to put them out of business" as said prior on television hundreds of times). We are in deep trouble with these people in charge, I hope we make it to November.

No, it's Emperor Has No Clothes Covid Definitely, Global activities certainly. The boy who yelled "But he hasn't any clothes on" would be arrested by today's Leftist thugs.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted
OrangeBills replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I find this hilarious...I just got a NY Times "Breaking News" Alert that the "Former Proud Boys" Leader was indicted in the Jan 6th investigation I had no recollection of who "The Proud Boys" are or why that would be breaking news, so I searched my email for NYT Breaking news emails, and I have 6 such emails since Feb 27th: -- 3 Jan 6 "Breaking News Alerts" -- 2 Russia Invades Ukraine -- 1 Wuhan Market likely origin of the pandemic (yeah, OK) LOL, no wonder we're so effed up; apparently half the population either reads or thinks this way. Terrifying -
Biden's State of the Union 2022
OrangeBills replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This is the reality...Biden himself isn't the ultimate problem. (yes, would prefer to have a sentient being in the role, but whatevs) it's the cadre and cabal of Leftists behind him "Crafting Policy Direction" Look at Europe...our Nat Gas costs $4.75 right now...there's costs $400.00 right now. All because of the decisions of their Leftist cabals. -
Yes, the Biden Admin did a good job pre-invasion given the Intelligence they had...took a lot of Putin credibility points away in the process. The problem, and I don't blame our side here, is that puts him in a position of having to win at all costs which will require Int'l defense of Ukraine at some point.
-
the takeaway that must be realized is the Green New Deal is JUST WRONG and needs to be abolished as a policy. Gradual improvements in the Energy Supply equation are a must. Europe and US have made horrendous decisions around Nuclear and willingness to frack for Nat Gas, both of which are pretty darn good for the environment. Basically, Liberal Democrats can't see beyond the first derivative of the decisions they want to effect on their nations, to their peril. Pretty simple. It's all Energy

The utterly hilarious irony here is that the vaccines basically work for about 4 months. So with the booster rates where they are at right now, there are LEGIONS of pompously-acting, self-righteous Americans trumping around criticizing people who are "unvaxxed" when THEY THEMSELVES are no longer vaccinated since the affect has worn off. Since it is probable that 100% of the country (well probably 98% excluding the crazies who wear masks in their own cars) have been exposed to the virus and have some level of immunity, there really is no major issue here anymore. Our fully vaccinated rate is now pretty low given the vaccines wear off over time But Lefties/Dems/Losers gonna loser-ate

Crazy take. We really have a COVID psychology crisis in North America, really the Western World. Which of course was the very point of Eastern Axis Global Psy Op
