I went to my Orthopedic MD on Friday and learned that I need to begin wearing a neck brace for at least the next 3 years, if not longer. I have been shaking my head in disbelief so much since June 16, 2015, that the tendons are shot!
Making the US & the Republican NAZIS look a bunch of a - holes since 2015.
Look up " The Battle of Athens TN ". set in the 1940s, this was a little - known event in which a crime boss was actually taken down by VETERANS who had fought against tyranny primarily in Europe & they were DAMNED if they were going to put up with it here at home. I saw a 30 minute video about it on YouTube yesterday. I would post the link, but I'm terrible at posting links.
Trump is always on the side of his billionaire puppet masters! If they want to make money in Canada they can pay taxes! Starbucks, Home Depot and other US Companies operating in Canada pay a higher percentage than the 3%. I am so tired of vile billionaires thinking they shouldn’t pay into the system and politicians backing them.
I don't always listen to my gut, but I had a lot of VERY NEGATIVE VIBES about this narcissistic BRAT who seems to have a " reverse Midas " touch. This shmuck could take a HOT DOG STAND OR A KID'S PIZZA PLACE & turn it into a financial DISASTER in record time, whereas many remain open for business for decades. Casinos are almost perpetual gold mines, at least in theory, yet he managed to MISMANAGE several into the ground.
Stand up to the bully, eh! In a better world, businesses wouldn't run ascared to their paid-for leader/bully to maintain their wealth. They'd factor it into the equation as the cost of doing business. But as you stated, since when should billionaires have to pay tax like the rest of us.
This is what happens when you have a POTUS who is mentally handicapped. The void between reality and fantasy grows exponentially. Couple mental incapacity and dementia with narcissistic sociopathy, and you get a person whose personal reality is a nightmare for every else. Enter Donald Trump. He has no business skills. No financial skills. No economics skills. He does what every con man does. He takes the last thing he remembers about the last catchy conversation he heard, and repeats it forever, just like many mentally handicapped people. It should be noted that dementia sufferers go down one of two paths. They become very docile, or they become very belligerent and violent. We all know what's coming.
Taxing billionaires / oligarchs - I can't imagine a more worthwhile endeavor ! It would be nice to sue Jabba the Trump until he doesn't have a pot to take a leak in. Having to live in a leaky apartment with a temperamental elevator & balky entrance - exit doors, etc. like many of us " peons " would be a fate WORSE THAN DEATH for this blight on the human species !
And, who loses in the end? The American consumer, as the tsunami of inflation roars towards our shores. It is past time for corporations to pay their share of taxes both domestically and abroad.
Digital services have swept the world with these companies and they have been getting away with trading tax free wherever they are in demand. The world is gradually waking up to the perfectly reasonable expectation that services sold in their countries can and should be taxed. The rates applied are modest and reasonable. Don't back down Canada.
Everyone loves to hate taxes. But we would all be in trouble without them. Waste and bureaucratic mismanagement not withstanding, it should be the great leveler for most of us. An awful lot of people look at fees and taxes as something they pay more into than they receive.This is almost not ever true.
You want clean water? Taxes. You want smooth interstate highways? Taxes. You want catastrophic health insurance? You could get it through taxes. You want to be defended against foreign adventurism? Taxes.
Taxes are the grease of government and government has evolved. Most governments are becoming progressive, they have come to understand that they have a role to play in making a nation wealthier by taxing it citizens and using that money to make their collective lives better. Which in most nations makes them healthier and wealthier.
Trump is the poster child for greedy idiots who will own goal the US into a second world state by lowering taxes for some undeserving short sighted individuals and increasing the burden upon everyone else. Not by cutting their taxes. But by cutting their services. As a consequence of that everyone will become poorer. Even the very rich, eventually.
Carney is a bright guy. He see no value in clapping back. I suspect Canada's response will be a polite yawn. He'll let the ten year old who is the American excuse for a president have his temper tantrum. We'll wait a few weeks and get back to bargaining. The taxes will stay. Trump can fuck up America as much as he wants to. But Canada is sovereign. He doesn't dictate tax policy here. He never will.

I'm sorry that this could be an inconvenience for so long a time! Damn that Trump!!

Looks like a lot of people agree with you! LOL

That sounds so much like the current situation!
Any pity or shreds of empathy for this walking sack of toxic medical waste died in me after he entered the White House the 1st time.
Bust that big beautiful bill and tax the shit out of those billionaires! As always Thanks to you Barry!

Amen! Perhaps a little less money for overseas weddings...
taxes to the rich is the same as cat schit on the toe of the shoe of the masses
