So would a sales tax but for the seller work? That way corporations pay taxes on sales in the country and can't do shenigans to obscure their global profit to avoid taxes

Like most people I don't understand taxes so if this is dumb as hell I am sorry

like my post in Suck Zone Past disagreeing with someone about how The Democrats are the only available avenue to see change enacted, and I'm just thinking that the Civil Rights Era gains were because people organized outside the auspices of any party, much less the Democratic party, and I think that's the best avenue going forward.

Like there's the whole (idiot) debate over whether MLK Jr. was a Democrat or Republican, which really misses the point as opposed to "what did he stand for" and "what did he accomplish"

know what else happened in that era? mass assassinations of anyone left, or blacklisting. and turnout in primaries in 2016 was low because of:
- some states not letting same day registration
- young people cant afford to take the day off
- bernie was smeared from day 1 as a no-chance upstart

he'd just won Michigan the week before, and it's not like 100% of registered voters vote so there was room to drive turnout

The rind can make orange zest which liberates the flavors of a lot of food.

But I wouldn't say Bernie is the rind myself.
