Fried Chicken posted:You realize the VAT he is proposing is how it's done in the rest of the western world, right? American progressives want European safety nets without European VATs. They're either not thinking it through or all Modern Monetary Theorists. To be fair, this is probably because American taxation is often regressive and America doesn’t really transfer a lot of wealth down in government spending. European taxation is fairly regressive, but their spending is progressive.

Find a way to create a social safety net without taxation, and you could get elected. Otherwise its just another tax and spend policy when Republicans have learned from the naughty aughts and no longer tax anything.

Also from the police thread it seems like SC is surprising less lovely than the majority of the country when it comes to tackling police corruption. But yeah without the video this guy would have been a regrettable but understandable causality in the fight against crime and blah blah

PupsOfWar posted:Heiner, though, is a fatcat Louisville financier. Are you honestly asking this question? Because if so you must've just started paying attention to politics.  The GOP will lie and/or ignore the guy's background. Even if the Dem tries to call him out "you're no different from me" isn't going to swap Republican voters. nachos posted:Except for the part where he would have gotten away had there been no civilian video. Though I suppose that's a feature not a bug. And since he used a gun all those fancy Tazer bodycams would've been completely worthless since they only record when the tazer's used. No tazer means no video evidence of you murdering someone. Body cams on at all times? Not on my watch, buddy.  nutranurse posted:Is this actually in the books for any other state than IL? Wouldn't matter, the courts have been pretty consistent on "recording a cop in public is a protected action" and any state with a law on the books is going to lose it once challenged in court. baw posted:who exactly were these loving witnesses Tazer, Glock, Smith and Wesson.

Oh, and Slager's attorney dropped him as a client when the video came out. There was a Michael T Slager defense fund up on Fundrazr earlier, it has been taken down now, as has the Twitter account that set it up (@CultureFight). The floor shitter is on the case, trying to get both restored

Yeah, being an rear end in a top hat shouldn't deprive you of necessary services, and being married to one or the progeny of one definitely shouldn't do it. The mayor going on about it as an attempt to walk the political line between the Freep nuts and the protestors, that was a bit cynical though.

How about Rahms position in any future Admins is Wall Street Hunter, where its his explicit job to find, charge and guillotine members of wall street. He knows where they hide and who they are evidently. If he's in public service for anything but self gratification he should be ecstatic for the opportunity.
