Trabisnikof posted:the $300 checks at least oh yah I forgot about those but I remember depositing one for a millionaire client, lol. I can't remember if they were means-tested but the guy was taking carry-forward losses from a failed movie investment forever. Never paid taxes during the decade I had him. which is why I lol at libs who claim that the new bank reporting to catch granny's yard sales is fine bc "they owe taxes on that income." Never mind the president's son owing $3 million in taxes for his influence-peddling & negotiating it down to $100k repayment as a settlement.

Remember obama giving a "payroll tax holiday" & refunding like $3/paycheck or some idiot amount that no one noticed? But it further depleted SS/Medicare funding & paved the way for his justifying his grand bargain.

He got really mad when I told him, and his CPA backed me up, that he couldn't take his Nordstrom suits & his country-club memberships as business deductions. Idiot paid $2k/month for the latter even though he went to each club like once a year.

gradenko_2000 posted:https://twitter.com/ProjectLiberal/status/1682371120400351234?t=AOuIQhfzrj93yrJque5S4Q&s=19 China isn't a Communist country, or even a socialist country. Communism failed there, like it did everywhere else, so they transitioned to an Authoritarian Capitalist system. People in China lack basic human rights, and their government is actively engaging in ethnic cleansing. Liberal Democracy is the only morally justifiable form of government we have found to this day, in it's effect, and it's also lead to much better quality of life for it's constituents. Supporting anything aside from the Liberal Democracy is indefensible.

I watched a "the food that built America" docudrama thing on History Channel that had like really cheesy reenactments of the creation of all kinds of food brands, and Milton Hershey was the biggest bitch on it. He didn't even invent milk chocolate, his segment started with him paying scientists to perfect the formula for him. Then he spent all his money on building a social-engineering town for his workers to live in instead of paying them better wages and they went on strike and wrecked it

The Kellogg brothers were probably the best storyline. I didn't even know the anti-masturbation Kellogg and the cornflake inventor Kellogg were different guys, much less that they had a copyright struggle e: oh and speaking of, the Baby Ruth bar's origin story is hilarious

The old adage about how a conservative will proudly live in a cardboard box under a bridge as long as they know that the black guy next to them doesn't have a box of his own. Libs need to feel morally superior to everyone in order to feed the narrative that they're the heroes of the story.

Libs think they're the protagonists of history, but China is a culture that essentially skipped them. It went from being the most progressive pre modern society to being the most progressive industrialized society without ever embracing the liberal path. They've been proven superfluous.

I just wish they were a bit better on LGBT issues but then again, I can't exactly say that America has done any better on that front, considering half the states are run by Christian freaks who used the anti-trans hysteria to pass laws where they get to do genital inspections on teenagers.
