Sorry, I can't take any of this seriously.
Your loss- not mine- everything I said is true- of course I'm willing to see your take on it- the gov't can only confiscate (steal) wealth- allegedly it can produce no wealth- but, it can help its crony's gain more wealth, by stealing your wealth and pretending to be helping you- show me where that's inaccurate.

You do not live on some island. It's your debt also.
 
OMG
These fuckin loons will tax orgasms if they could.
Goddamn authoritarians!

You prefer just giving money away and adding to the debt?

Trump's Road to Socialism | Tho Bishop
No

So what we have here is a proposal to start paying for things and you are still against that?
Start paying for what? Shit the federal govt has no business doing?
You federal supremacists make me fucking sick to my stomach. This countries founders died in vain because of shit stains like you.

One of the options is to state where you would spend it. Why not suggest the debt?

Tell me, how is it the governments business to bail out private businesses?
it isnt their job,,
 
All these taxes start to add up

Our debt isn't?
Do you think the few billion they claim this will raise is gonna lower our debt?

You really are stupid.
Why not just ban high freq trading.....all it is, is skimming

I would support that also. Think it will happen?
Why can't it......oh that's right you want a piece of the game

It's a start. Did you think adding to the debt was going to lower our debt?
Howsabout we not spend $20 billion on environmental justice bullshit instead? You have no problem with that, huh?

Now you claim you will after defending Pedo Joe's "infrastructure" boondoggle.

Find where I supported spending $20 billion. I'll wait.
So you oppose Pedo Joe's "infrastructure bill" now.

Got it.

If it's not paid for like how Trump's bail outs were not, I do not support them. But you have no standing to condemn anyone that does.
So you are now on record being against Pedo Joe's infrastructure bill.

I have no standing? How so?

I've covered how so in this thread already and I really don't give those with juvenile replies much time.
You have not covered how I have no standing. You can't, so you dodge.

Now, keep dodging.............it proves you are full of shit.

You've supported those who add to the debt, not address it.
I have supported a balanced budget amendment and term limits since Reagan was in office, Buttflap.

You are a clueless dolt.

So stop the pork in bill, reduce spending

I'd hate to see a democrat's personal budget

LOL, debt went up $8 trillion under Trump. You expect Democrats to do what Trump would not? They are at least addressing one side.

BiDum is going to shatter that

Probably so. You expect him to do what the Republicans and Trump wouldn't?
If he's supposed to be better than them, absolutely. Why vote for him if he's going to do the same things that supposedly were terrible?
 
Don't just look at the tax, look at your 401K bump w/o high-frequency traders. Its a benefit, not a tax.

If I'm a buy and hold in my 401k, how does eliminating HFT give my 401k a bump?
Because the HFTs won't "front-run" any trades stealing value from buy-and-hold investors.
HFTs don't "invest" they "steal" investments.

Because the HFTs won't "front-run" any trades stealing value from buy-and-hold investors.

You just can't explain how they steal value

HFTs don't "invest" they "steal" investments.

Funnier every time you say it.
OMG, here are a few links that you are apparently too lazy or stupid to research before posting nonsense.




What's funny is that you can't prove your "point" with links, so you are just a whiner.

Thanks for the links.
The 1st and 3rd don't mention high-frequency trading.

The 2nd one.......View attachment 482344
Don't need to be an HFT to read an announcement and buy a stock.
Even you could do that.

So still no luck explaining how my TSLA order gets front-run? LOL!
1. Your TSLA order doesn't get front-run, the stock does, you lose money, that's how HFTs make money, by stealing, duh.
2. Tell us what benefit HFTs are to the average 401K investor. <hint: you can't> Thanks for playing.

How is it skimming?

How much did they "skim" last year?
It ain't investing and adds nothing to the process of price discovery. When you have that type of algo its a license to rob
 
You do not live on some island. It's your debt also.
No- I didn't agree to it- so it ain't mine- it has nothing to do with any island and you still haven't shown me how my assessment is inaccurate- because you can't.

But yet it's done by the billions. That has to be paid for.

I didn't. Did you vote for Trump?
 
we once again have Trumpsters pretending to be fiscally responsible and attacking others.
What trumpsters wanted was an end to the lockouts

but if you did that democrats would not have an excuse to continue your massive borrow and spend pork barrel policies

8 trillion in spending that wasn't paid for under Trump.
